Trivia:

R30 trains were called BMT Redbirds for their identical paint scheme to that of the IRT trains.

Goofs:

Factual errors: A crash that sends a railway car rolling along several tracks does not short out the power supply. Normal lighting is visible in the B train, and its route signs are lit, when people are getting off it.

Grace Santiago: [to Charlie] Should we break this up? They're tuggin' at his collar for dear life over there.

A fun and entertaining action film. Highly recommended!

Money Train is a great popcorn movie and Snipes and Harrison once again show the chemistry that makes a good buddy movie. The script is fast-paced and clever and Jennifer Lopez is as beautiful and sexy as always. This film is a true "sleeper hit" and is well worth the effort to catch-up with if you missed it the first time around.
