Trivia
With respect to the description in the novel of how the controller is rigged for the getaway, this version is more faithful than the original film.

Goofs
On several occasions the detached car is a different model (Toronto class H-6) from what it is most of the time (class H-1). One obvious difference is the H-6's black rectangles around the upper headlights. The first instance of this goof is when the police tactical unit arrives in the tunnel. Also, just after the signals are set to red, the car number can be seen to be 5718.

Connections
Remake of Les Pirates du métro (1974)

Why bother?

I don't know why Hollywood feels the need to re-do classic movies. Can they not come up with original storylines anymore? This tv movie was lacking in so many areas. The actors had no chemistry, the dialog was banal, and the action seemed contrived. Don't waste your time on this one. Rent or better yet, buy the original starring Walter Matthau.
