    Storyline

    Edit
    Seal Team Commander Casey Ryback has retired from the Navy since the conclusion of the events in the first movie, and is now a chef at the Mile High Cafe in Denver, Colorado. Ryback is taking his niece Sarah Ryback on vacation, to reconnect and commiserate with her after the death of her parents. They board a train traveling westbound through the Rocky Mountains from Denver to LA. With the help of gun-for-hire Marcus Penn a couple dozen of his mercenaries, ex-CIA brain (and mentally unstable) Travis Dane commandeers the train, takes the passengers and crew hostage, and sets up a mobile control center. He hacks into the CIA database and gains control of a Top-Secret defence satellite he designed during his Agency days that has just been deployed. Funded by various foreign interests, he stands to make 1 billion dollars for using the space weapon to blow up the Eastern seaboard by targeting a nuclear reactor housed beneath the Pentagon. Dane taunts the Joint Chiefs in the Pentagon Situation Room by using it to blow up a Chinese chemical weapons plant and the two stealth planes sent to intercept him, secure in the knowledge that he cannot be stopped because his location can't be traced as long as the train keeps moving, his location can't be fixed. Ryback, aided by young porter Bobby Zachs, is the only ones who can take out the bad guys, rescue the hostages, and prevent the destruction of the eastern seaboard before Dane can realise his dastardly plans! —Angus Brewer

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The casting director drew the ire of Steven Seagal after the action star returned from a vacation in Indonesia and discovered that Gary Busey had been hired to play the villain - Busey famously played one of the villains in the first film, who was dispatched via explosion. Matters got worse when it was discovered that Busey had a "pay-or-play" deal which meant he got his fee if he was in the film or not. Ultimately, Busey was paid his $750,000 dollar salary - which allegedly came out of Seagal's pocket as a producer - but didn't work a day on the picture.
    • Goofs
      When the train is stopped so the mercenaries can retrieve the CD, after the train is shown slowly reversing backwards, we see Dane talking to Penn. Behind Dane there is a window showing the train is still moving, and fast.
    • Quotes

      [Ryback has been revealed as the intruder, supposedly dead]

      Penn: When she shot the intruder, did you see the body?

      Mercenary #1: No, just a shit load of blood, and I figured if you get run over by a train...

      [Penn smacks Merc 1 hard]

      Penn: [slow and menacing] Did... you... see... the body?

      Mercenary #1: I ASSUMED he was DEAD!

      Penn: Assumption is the MOTHER of all fuck ups!

    'Nobody beats me in the kitchen!"
    Steven Seagal reprises his role as a one time SEAL team captain, a counter-terrorist expert who had to rely only on his personal skills in order to survive, and protect the hostages... He happens to be on the Grand Continental passenger train traveling from Denver to L.A... Seagal joins the only family he has, a 'cute kid' named Sarah (Katherine Heigl) after her parents died in a plane crash...

    Seagal has an electrifying screen presence... Seeing him in action is similar to appreciating modern art...

    The train is hijacked by a team of 'ugly men' with guns... Their chief, Travis Dane (Eric Bogosian), is a high-tech mastermind, who fakes his own death in order to gain control of a top-secret nuclear satellite... For this crazy technical genius, technology can be used for beauty or debasement, and 'until you plug it in, you just can't tell.'

    Dane's henchman Penn (Everett McGill) is a soldier of fortune freak, whose relationship with his boss resurfaced during Desert Storm...

    Morris Chestnut's focus is on humor and breath-taking sequences...

    Geoff Murphy's film is incredibly entertaining, combining action, martial arts, and dark sense of humor...
