Money Train

Money Train is a 1995 American action comedy film[2] directed by Joseph Ruben from the screenplay by Doug Richardson and David Loughery.

It stars Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and Jennifer Lopez, with Robert Blake and Chris Cooper in supporting roles.

Foster brothers John and Charlie Robinson are transit cops patrolling the New York City Subway.

John and Charlie both take a liking to Grace Santiago, an attractive newly assigned decoy transit officer.

Again blaming the brothers and accusing them of taking some of the money, Patterson continues to berate them even after realizing a collection agent miscounted.

Realizing the trap, Torch distracts police by pushing a man in front of a moving train, killing him.

Reaching the train, John persuades Charlie to drive further to avoid arrest, and they disable the brakes to prevent Patterson activating them remotely.

Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson had appeared together in the 1992 hit White Men Can't Jump.

[4] The rolling stock was modified by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and film crew into an imposing subway train covered in silver armor plating and equipped with flashing orange lights and sliding barred doors, like those on a jail cell.

[4] Four additional R30s were used for filming on New York City Subway property, including for the crash between the money train and the 1220 Coney Island.

The original music score by Mark Mancina was released in March 2011 by La-La Land Records as a limited edition of 3000 copies.

The site's consensus states: "Loud, incoherent, and aimless, Money Train reunites Snipes and Harrelson -- and proves that starring duos are far from immune to the law of diminishing returns.

[8] Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote, "More viscerally charged than Speed and hipper than Die Hard With a Vengeance, the movie is a careening, screeching joyride that showers sparks like fireworks.

"[9] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Examiner called it "a cut above the usual" buddy cop film due to the stars' chemistry and its well-crafted action scenes.

"[14] In addition to its poor reviews, the film was vilified for its portrayal of "The Torch" robbing a ticket booth by running a rubber tube around the bulletproof partition and dousing the attendant with a flammable liquid, then threatening to set them on fire.

A former R21 car was rebuilt for use in the film. After production, the car was donated to the New York Transit Museum .
