5.0 out of 5 stars Bullet Train(1975)
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2018
In Bullet Train(1975), a disgruntled construction worker plants a bomb on a bullet train. Once the train goes 80 km an hour, the bomb is armed.
If it drops below 80 km an hour, the train explodes! Does this plot sound familiar? Speed(1994) was a loose remake of the film. I've only seen the English dubbed version of Bullet Train; the picture quality is muddy and it has "Speed Racer" style voices. The music cue for the bad guys in Bullet Train is a sad, sombre, downbeat music cue. I felt sorry for the bad guy who blows himself up with a stick of TNT. Sonny Chiba had a bit part in the film as a train conductor. Bullet Train was made in the mid-1970's when Hollywood filmmakers were churning out disaster films. Bullet Train is a Japanese film with an all Japanese cast; it was spoofed in a City Hunter TV movie in the 1990's. The film shows people helping each other once a disaster has happened. This film inspired movies such as Speed(1994) and Chill Factor(1999). Bullet Train is a classic, people!

2.0 out of 5 stars More static than Speed
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2008
Pop quiz: there's a bomb on board and if you go under 50, it'll go off. What do you do? Well, if you're a Hollywood studio, you move the bomb from 'The Bullet Train' and put it on an L.A. bus and hope that no-one reminds you that Japan did it first in 1975 with this Takakura Ken movie.

More a typical 70s disaster movie than a thriller, with all the stock characters onboard - yes, including the hysterical businessman and obligatory pregnant woman - Takakura Ken broods magnificently as ever as the bad guy with a grudge and a supply of explosive devices while Sonny Chiba is the driver on the train trying to prevent the big bang (no, he doesn't hit anyone for once). Shame it's so dull. There are a couple of mildly interesting plot twists and there's a surprising emphasis on the family of extortionists who are far more sympathetic than the clichéd and irritating passengers or the bungling cops, but there's no reason for it to stretch out to more than two-and-a-half hours. There's also a curious sense of constantly being outside the action, as if a passing spectator rather than a participant. One occasion where Hollywood definitely did it better.

Just to make matters worse, Crash Cinema's Region 1 DVD is atrocious - a poor dubbed transfer that's cut by some 40 minutes. You're better off seeking out Optimum's UK PAL release - it is the uncut subtitled version in a decent 2.35:1 widescreen transfer (though the colour is nothing to write home about). Extras on the UK DVD are limited to trailer, poster gallery and a selection of trailers to Chiba's action films.

1.0 out of 5 stars Gory and unintelligible
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2022
This is why I haven’t been to the theater in probably 10 years and exactly why I’m never going back. Walked after the first 20. Was billed as an action comedy and it was anything but that. Overly graphic and mumbled to the point you could only understand every other line. Just awful! Pitt, I want my $10 back!
