Goofs

Revealing mistakes: In the train trestle scene, in the moments prior to the dynamite explosion and resulting crash of the train, there are no wires/cables visible above the trestle. But when the train is seen approaching, wires or cables are clearly visible overhead. When the train crashes off the trestle, you can see some of these cables being used as "pulls" to help tumble the train off the bridge. See more »

Quotes

Sara: We have to get that trap door open, too, don't we?
Hogan: You know what you're talkin' about's crazy, Sara.
Sara: Listen, Hogan, everybody's got a right to be a sucker once.
