Some drunk behind the wheel of a train tries to spy on a naked couple making love in a sleeper berth.
Is that Beverly's boyfriend Tom from 'IT?' Wings Hauser reprimands Tom but the faster he makes love the quicker the train goes. (It runs on people power and bodily fluids apparently?) Tom reaches climax so Hauser jumps ship and the train explodes. This could pass as a plot for 'Speed 3' or 'Under Siege 3.'
Movie cuts 10 years later and what looks like Danny Tanner is driving along 'Cobra Kai' beach turf where Daniel-San got smoked over a radio cassette deck.
It's hard to obtain a copy of this movie. I certainly didn't borrow it from my local library and I sure as hell didn't pay to see it either so interpret that how you may.
Renting a shoe box off Lance Henriksen out in the middle of nowhere Tanner drives his old Aston Martin vehicle to 'Grandmother's House' and moves into the sleeper berth from earlier. Small world - how convenient.
For a college grad Tanner looks at an emergency exit door and has the hide to ask, "What's that?" Like you don't know, fella? And you're the clever one? This guy's about 45 years old yet he's attending university and hits on 20 year old's?
And his school teacher is Cort from 'Jason Lives.' Cort dies midway through the movie from mattress wire strangling him then the fold up couch-bed finishes the job and gobbles him up. I think the director of the movie was confused about story line and couldn't make his mind up if the killer was the freak with the teeth, ghosts, or a killer couch? It's kind of in the same tradition as 'Deathbed: The Bed That Eats.' As right at the very end Tanner and his floozy go house hunting and pass on the house in Pasadena they're looking at because who should be there but the killer couch from the sleeper berth.
Rebelling at 45 years of age Tanner breaks all the ground rules set by his landlord, Kim Novak, and acts like a teenager by blasting rock and roll music on an old projection tape reel from the 70's.
Tanner's ex, Shania Twain, shows up all provocatively in the sleeper berth one night and reminds Tanner that everyone said they'd never make it but it turns out to be only a fantasy. The fantasy was misleading but everyone was right in the end as Mutt Lange and Twain divorced eons ago.
Stealing Ali with an eye's radio cassette player Tanner plays some possessed tape reel from the 70's of people being tortured on 1980's 'Deathship.' It conjures up evil memories from his wasted childhood when watching VHS tapes. Jeff Daniels breaks into the sleeper berth in search of some rare mint library book and Freddy's glove comes popping out his woolen blazer?
Remember that stitched together monster from 'I, Madman?" Well, I have a picture in an old Fangoria magazine of the monster from this 'Sleeping Car' movie and he's all grotesque with long fingernails and it's kind of cool and reminds me of the killer from 'I, Madman.' But the question remains - where's the monster in this movie? Come to think about it - those 2 movie monsters also remind me of 1988's 'The Head Hunter' killer, too.
Preppy Tanner continues to drive around in his Aston Martin, hits on high school girls, and even tries his hand at Kim Novak, who rejects him based on forbidden fruit laws when it comes to age difference. It gets even more perverse when Tanner has a candlelit dinner late one night with Lee Marvin.
Actually, Tanner looks like Dustin Hoffman at times.
Henrietta from 'Evil Dead 2' shows up as a projected apparition for some reason as does Jon Voight who screams over the earlier memory of the couple making love at the start?
Movie has no meaning. It should have been better than this. And Tanner should have been the teacher not the student.
Looking at some old Polaroids of John Cougar Mellencamp one night Tanner and Marvin come to know the identity of the 'Evil Dead 2' phantom largely thanks to Kim Novak spilling the beans. (Apparently, she was married to the train driver at the start, Wings Hauser? Disgusted by his cowardice she murdered him and inherited the sleeper berth train carriage? I think that's how it goes?)
It's amazing how they've stopped attending school for the most part of the movie. No one's even noticed that Cort's missing and hasn't shown up in days for his schooling duties as a teacher. Are we expected to believe that that oddball was a teacher? He acts like an 18-year-old. And his acting leaves a lot to be desired. Seriously, he's the third member of Max and Ian's gang from 'Weird Science.' Kim Novak's killed by 'The Head Hunter' near the end. How? I believe with a PG-13 ax assault? The movie's that damn dark I don't even know what's going on half the time.
Lee Marvin throws boiled water on the monster at the end and it fails to halt any takedown but a simple prayer to forgive trespassers works a treat and 'I, Madman' goes all Pinhead 'Hellraiser: Bloodline' and folds up like a 'Mortal Kombat 2' origami elder and disappears into oblivion.
But the movie's so directionless that the final scene brings back 'Deathbed: The Bed That Eats' in a sort of comedy sketch which leaves you scratching your head and not laughing like it's intended. Was the killer couch, and its deadly spring coils, really the killer?
