Cinema_PSYOPS_EP530: Silver Streak 1976
We're cut it to pieces and say there are
They used to take
Now it's just bits of a cap.
Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok Talk about
Virtue signaling, how they're so woe
Call billionaires parasite to middle.
Radical genders into everything they do, judged pretty much by quality and who to include, acting like everyone deserves to live their truth. Show people sure about.
Just too many late for us, try to do a show. Virtue single in how they're so wolf, tip a style.
And welcome to the 530th episode of Cinema Psyops.
I'm your host, Cort, the guy that is super stoked to be talking about Silver Streak. And joining me in the joy of our very first coverage of Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder as a team is my co-host back. Unlike
After you
Yeah.
In this dark realm that we
Like having a good
going on.
Need laughter more in this dark time that we're living in.
It laughed.
And by the way, everyone's not sure.
If we sound sexier or different, it's because we are now talking all digital. We are now broadcasting. Yeah, we're all digital.
Digital now.
Yeah. Matt's been digital for a while. But uh
I've been digital for a while, but now Court's digital.
Cảm ơn các bạn đã theo dõi và hẹn gặp lại.
Now everything's digital.
No well, my laptop is the only computer, no more full use of computers, one for a s Zoom meeting with Matt, one for all of my sound triggering stuff. No more what, one, two, three.
Five six.
Tent twel wow, uh thirteen pieces of electronic equipment that all have to plug into a hundred and twenty volts. The American style uh electrical voltage, uh running all at once. Uh we're saving the planet and we're uh
I mean we have single handedly saved the planet.
Yeah, just by me not using all of that. I'll tell you one thing that we're gonna save is every two weeks my power build that that ship ran up. That's for sure.
Ha ha ha ha.
It'll come charging my car every weekend.
Mm. There you go. See, we're helping.
Hooray. No, uh I wanted to go full digital. I've been talking about it a while. I wanted I wanted to retire the rack and now is the time.
So that's what I'm doing. Um for you gear nuts out there, I'm just gonna say it. Uh I've got a Sure M V seven plus. It's a USB C microphone. And so far my only complaint is uh the software that comes with it doesn't really give you a noise gauge.
And uh Matt and I are gonna have to formulate a plan. I think I'll probably come up with something. We'll just get some kind of third party or freeware software and we'll
But you're gonna hear noises in the background. You're gonna hear noises in the background because I don't have noise gating anymore and it's driving me just as nuts as it will all over here.
Ha ha ha.
And I swear, I turned I turned my phone off, so no I turned my phone to silence, so now you shouldn't hear it buzzing now.
Oh, it doesn't it doesn't matter, man. It really doesn't. People don't care if they hear that stuff. What they wanna care about and hear is the fact that we're gonna be talking about Silver Street this week, nineteen seventy six.
That's the only thing they care about.
So let's give it to them. What do you say? We'll go ahead and take the break here.
That's doing it
Legendary Legion Patreon ad and when we come back we'll jump right into the coverage of Silver Shift.

We appreciate it and thank you for listening.
Back to the cutting room.
Man, that is a really really outdated uh promo. Someone ought to rewrite or re-record one or something, but then Bill's voice would be gone.
The best because Bo was kinda gone from the internet, so I haven't heard from him forever. So, Bo, if you're still listening to us, buddy, I miss you, reach out to me. I'd like to hear from you. Uh you got my email.
But enough of that. Let's uh let's actually get into talking about Silver Street and stop it.
Пока.
Let's do it.
That's th that's what I'm trying to say.
Yeah, the film opens with expository dialogue and this is our way. So that is our first
Yes sir.
It's the train to Chicago, the Silver Street.
Thank you.
Next time.
Thanks.
What are those companioners doing up?
Ain't that something?
I didn't know there was a bad number to hit the zone, Lord. Now we got them in five.
Yeah.
Why not?
Am I in the right place?
First class?
Yes, sir.
Oh.
This is the room here, sir. Okay. Thanks a lot. Thank you, sir. Bye-bye.
Have a pleasant trip.
Sir, you think you're going to be needing all these bags up there? If not, I can store some of them down till then.
Sure, sure. All I need is this one and that one. You can take this. All right. And I'll keep the briefcase.
I'll take that.
कर दो कर दो
Thanks. And this is...
This is your laboratory?
Nice big room.
Very convenient.
What's this partition?
Oh, that turns the room into a double suite.
We used to have a lot of calls for the honeymooners, but...
This latch seems to be stuck, that's all.
Minds change.
No, I I agree with everything you said. All I want to do is take it easy.
Good.
Just settle back and enjoy the trip because uh it ain't gonna be too exciting now, but we'll get you there.
Okay.
Have a nice ride.
Thanks a lot.
Bye-bye.
After that it starts a long credit sequence of the train pulling out of the station and crossing the country before cutting to the dining car, and a woman asking Gene Wilder if he likes her perfume in our second clip. Because this is the way.
Do you like this perfume?
I mix it myself.
감사합니다.
That's something, huh? Yes, sir. We leave Los Angeles.
Go right up there to Nevada, into Colorado, across the Rockies.
Up to Kansas City, Kansas. Right in here is a town called Ashford, Missouri.
Cross a big Mississippi two and a half days or right up there to Chicago, Illinois. That's some trip, huh? Mm-hmm. You're from Chicago?
I'm from Chicago. My name is Bob Sweet. A sweet man, but a mean baby.
Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
George wants to racket you and No kidding.
Come on.
Come on, sit down here.
Nice.
You know, I'm in uh vitamins myself.
Here, here, there's a sample for you, vitamin E. Now that is great for the old pecker.
Yeah, it really keeps a pencil sharp. I'm not kidding. Have you had a uh chance yet to uh check out the action?
No. Actually this is the first time I've ever taken a train.
You're kidding.
Come on. Well, you're in for the ride of your life.
We just pick out a little chicky, my friend, and it's hugging munch all the way to Chicago.
I do it all the time. I tell my boss that I'm afraid of flying and I get this action twice a year.
It's a cat house on a wheel.
Come on, Caleb. Come on. It's something about the movement of the trainer does it.
All that motion makes a girl horny.
Well I'll tell you, Bob, I'm not really interested in the shipboard romance. I took the train to rest and get a lot of readings.
Oh, hold it, hold it. Right there, George. I believe I see my chicken.
for tonight.
Hi there.
Can I uh buy you a drink?
I have one. Thank you.
Well, I'll just enjoy you. That's an old-fashioned ride. Can you go all the way?
I said, do you go all the way?
Yes, I do.
Do what?
Go to Chicago. I mean, you know, we're gonna be uh we're stuck on this train together and you can't jump off.
Продолжение следует...
Ha ha ha.
Thank you.
I said, are you
Lady, I am always hot.
I can cool you down.
How's the lab?
Yes. Please sit down. What a nice surprise.
Uh I said how's the latch? We have connecting rooms
Good, it's good, it's fine, thank you. It's a little bit rusty, but nothing serious. I'll get the porter to look at it.
There's no rush, is there?
But it looks like a cocktail.
Um a martini on the rocks with the twins.
Thank you.
Two.
Yes, sir.
My name is George Caldwell.
Hilly Burns.
Hilly Burns.
Thank you.
That's short for Hildegard. What's that pencil for?
You have to fill out your own menu card.
One Macedon of fruit, beef oriental rice carrots, coffee, apple pie a la Mot. You print very well.
Thanks.
I'll have the same thing. You do it for me. I can't even read my own writing. I don't do shorthand and I can't type.
What do you do for a living?
I'm a secretary.
Or how do you keep your job?
I give great phone. I have a terrific personality.
You going to Chicago?
Yes? I'm going to my sister's wedding.
How come you're taking the train? You afraid of flying?
No, I'm not afraid of flying. I uh
Thank you.
I just want to be bored.
And you?
Oh, my new boss likes the old-fashioned ways.
He's just written a book on Rembrandt and he's gonna kick off his publicity campaign with um a lecture at the Art Institute.
Oh yes, I'm in publishing. What's his name?
Professor Arthur Schreiner. Have you heard of him?
Most people have it. He's um he's been a recluse working on this book for about twenty years.
Where is he now?
Oh, he's in bed with a glass of hot milk molasses. He's a health nun.
Howdy published.
All mostly non-fiction, gardening.
Как так?
How to do it books?
Like sex manuals?
I've edited a few.
I know what goes where I'm going to do it.
Thank you.
Bye.
That's very interesting. You married?
My friends all told me that my wife was too good for me, and after a couple of years I decided they were right.
Sounds sad.
Uh you say that your boss is in art history. Is that what you're interested in?
Not really.
I just got this job because I was available. I was willing to travel.
Продолжение следует...
We'll have a bottle of the moutong cadet 1971.
Very good, sir.
You do that very well.
I give great French.
Good Lord Ned Beatty is at some of his fucking sleaziest in that clip, right? Oh, it's just gross. Mm-hmm.
Really is just What a gross dude.
I do love the way that she puts it.
That's lovely.
In his place. Yeah, in the movie, obviously.
Uh and I also I I had to just do this. I love that perfume woman causes George to just kind of dive out of the way and hide during the dinner scene there. Yeah. Uh when she's walking through'cause like she was kind of hitting on him and he just wasn't into her perfume. Establishing once again that Gene Wilder is this.
Wild fucking woman's man where all these ladies love him.
Yeah.
Apparently, man, uh fucking, I don't know. Dude's got it going on. All right, what are we supposed to do about it?
But that dive out of the way at the diner is a bit of physical comedy that was absolute genius. This that's the he's really good at doing physical comedy in a such a way and that particular dive was really fucking fun.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, no, that was really good.
And then at the end of the clip, what we see is Richard Keel looking like Jaws from the Bond movies, roughing up a dude, and then they cut back to the lady that came on to Gene Wilder, laughing loudly at his jokes.
And all but presenting to him like a mandrel as they sip champagne and are eating food together, they run out of champagne and get making with the fuck apparently as they head back to their d adjoining rooms.
I love that little bit where Gene calls Ned on his shit when he gets the girl Ned was uh sleezing on and the Mm-hmm and then also the bit of no room in the hallway where that one big man is trying to get cross and then
Oh yeah. Then he basically just gets knocked right into that other woman's room, then she starts panicking because um for all she knows, a man with champagne just charged into her room. She has every right to be panicked and scared.
Right? I would be. I'd be like, What the fuck are you?
And then he ends up hiding out in another guy's room and then just starts pretending like he's inspecting the room while the guy buys it just so like he can be out of the way of the other larger gentleman.
Thanks.
That's just, yeah.
Is Gene Wilder at his best playing timid and then being silly and trying to cover some insane action that he just did? This is superb stuff right here. I love all of these bits.
Thank you.
yeah i know it's awesome
Yeah. Well that whole inspecting it bit, we finally end up where he means to be, and that is the start of our
This is very nice.
Would you like some champagne?
I can't get over the size of this room without the partition.
They are small rooms by themselves.
They're perfect for Joglies.
For juggling. When you practice, the balls would always bounce off the walls.
Juggle a lot.
I know what goes where and why.
I like it.
That song.
If I ever hear it again.
It'll be difficult not to think of you.
To traveling by train.
Trains that pass in the night.
You like my new shoes?
Yes, I do. Why don't you take them off?
You can put them in that little locker over there in the porter. We'll have them shine.
That's terrific.
Is that the master's work?
Safe keeping.
You wanna read it?
Slide over.
It's beautiful isn't it?
And with that they begin the dance of those that fuck as they have precoidal sort of pillow talk and then make out slowly and somewhat cashly as they talk about gardening or some shit. This is supposed to be hot and sexy, but I just
Feel bad that these people think that this is hot and sexy. And whoever wrote this thought that
You know, it was a different time. Uh what's hot and sexy to you, maybe it's not hot and sexy to everyone else.
If this is your hot and sexy, you are a vanilla manny's motherfucker.
Yeah, I mean I'm not saying it's for me, but I'm just saying, you know, don't kink shame people for being.
Don't lack of kink shame people. Yeah. Don't lack of kink shame people. Yeah. Having normal sexual healthy relations without kink, I guess. Whatever.
All right, she works her way down on him during this and as she does so a corpse drops down and interrupts them when Gene Wilder screams in terror, which is one of the things he is amazing at.
And she tries to talk him down, even though we all know he saw that corpse.
Having said that, yeah.
The uh uh the the prison scene where everyone's all afraid.
Yeah.
Having said that, maybe he should have just minded his own business and kept going'cause he was about to get blown. Like who cares if a corpse got dropped off a train? Just keep your mouth shut.
Except the old.
If you you gotta power through. If you want, you know if you want some of the fun, you gotta power through shit.
Yeah, and also if someone's about to wrap their mouth around your member and you scream in terror, maybe you uh might, you know, not get that again.
I don't know, yeah, maybe not. I'm just saying, yeah, you're not wrong. I mean, come on. But again, comedy. Let's let's not look too deep into it.
She soothes him once again and they start making out again and the film cuts to the train porn as we watch the train traverse rocky, arid terrain. So we don't actually see any fucking, we just watch a train move across the desert land.
You know what it kinda remind me of, uh having to settle down is uh Bastard Party with the guy with the with his pants down and then he falls into the car sunroof.
All right.
We see George kissing a giving a kiss to a sleeping Hilly to say goodbye, only to realize the boss was the corpse that he saw and wakes her up to tell us and her in this fortune.
What? Jilly?
Hilly?
Hilly, wake up!
Thank you.
Really chew.
Hilly, the man that I saw outside the window last night, this is him.
Smite boss.
Professor.
I know it. That's what I'm talking about.
What's it?
It's just after eight.
Hey, oh no. Wake me up again when it's after tea.
Hilly, this man has been murdered.
Well,
Why don't you go down the hall and discuss it with him and then come back here and discuss it with me? He's just right past the diner room seat.
Hilly, I didn't imagine it.
Good night, Joy. A wonderful garden.
Hey, George!
That one. Come on!
Join me for coffee.
All right. Uh I'll be right back. I just have to check on something.
Professor Schreiner, please.
My name is George Caldwell.
You were a friend of the professor?
No, not exactly. I'm a friend of his secretaries. We were a little worried about him.
Yeah, what are you worried about?
Thank you.
Can't I talk to the professor?
What are you doing in there?
Yeah, I think you're sticking your nose in where it don't belong. You and that broad are gonna get yourself in trouble.
In fact, she's already in trouble.
You're the one who's in trouble, mister. Re not me.
Get rid of this bomb.
What?
What are you doing?
Hey!
Listen, you big lomox, let me go!
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU
Crazy is the buttons.
What the hell's the matter with you?
All right, listen, Buster, you're in trouble. And I mean big trouble because I'm reporting you.
Can't be serious. Wait a minute. All right, enough's enough. They wanna if you're willing to figure it out. I don't believe this! Are you kidding?
I just love that Gene Wowder's characters live in this little like protective bubble where they don't realize bad things are about to happen to them.
But in this character, bad things do happen to him. And then he's just like still in a protective bubble where he thinks, I live in a society, damn it. We're good people.
Ha ha ha.
Yeah, it's it's maybe bad stuff's happening now, but it'll get fixed.
With that he is thrown off of the train and cannot get back once up and finds his way walking along the tracks until he crosses a rock formation, and finds a farm or homestead in this desert, awful, arid land, and then the water, and the case.
Well.
That's you, Peppy. You're in one heap of trouble.
No, it's not Peppy.
¡Where's Pepe?!
I don't know. My name is George
He's gone off again with that no account.
Smoke a little weed and the next thing you know, they're off buzzing the creepy.
Excuse me.
30 years ago.
Excuse me, do you think I could use your telephone?
Yes.
You ain't from around here, are you?
No, I'm lost. I'm not lost, but I was thrown off of the silver streak.
Matter of fact. Tell me, is there a woman in this?
Well there's a girl.
I knew it.
No, no, no. It's nothing to do with what you're thinking. Uh actually she's in a great deal of danger. That's why I have to use your telephone so I can call the police and have those people who threw me off the train arrested.
Well, it sounds like you're in an awful hurry.
I am. That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Suits me just fine, cause I'm running a little bit late myself. Uh-huh. Tell you what, Steve.
George. George Caldwell.
Read a book.
How do you do?
If you'll finish milking old Harriet over there, I'll go in and change and you can ride into town with me.
Great.
Let's go.
There's a good friend of mine.
Wonderful. Just tell me what I have to do.
Well you just take this bucket?
Milk.
Milk her? I've never milked a cow before.
What the gas, Steve. You're a grown man. I'm sure you've had some similar experience.
Ha ha ha.
Look, you just sit down, take a tit in each hand and let nature take its course.
Right.
These cows are so fun It's like tapping a trip valve on Niagara Farm.
Oh.
Yeah.
Altyazı M.K.
All right. I'll do my best.
Yeah.
Just be nice, be nice.
감사합니다.
You've got four of them.
Come on, Harriet. Come on. Give me a break.
The bit about him milking the cow and the woman turning out to be an insane bush pilot was pretty fucking funny, too. I really enjoyed that part.
Yeah, that's hilarious.
Yeah.
They formulate a plan to get to a city before the silver streak does and get the law involved at its next stop.
And even see the train on the way there flying over top of it. But the Bush pilot lady decides to take a detour and scare the shit out of a bunch of sheep just because she is bored and fucking cruel. And the film cuts from that.
to them pulling up just in time for George to run his ass off and get back onto the caboose of the train by the help of a bunch of partying folks having a great time and not really thinking about what they were doing, helping a guy jump on a train.
And then it cuts from that to him.
What might you have to think about that?
And it cuts from that to him making his way into a dining car and finding Hilly with another man, only to run into the still extremely sleazy Ned Beatty and starting up the conversation that is ours.
I ask you to join me for breakfast. This is lunch.
Last track.
What are you doing back there?
Getting a last.
No, I was squeezing tits.
Yeah.
Kinda worked up a sweat too, didn't you, Arnie, Pastor?
What do you expect?
And he's very heavy competition.
You know him?
Doesn't everybody know him? That's Roger Devereaux. He's Chicago's own uh jet setter.
Ha ha.
I mean you know he's a big cheese on the art institute, something like that. Like I say, very heavy competition.
Are you gonna take him on?
감사합니다.
Are you alright?
Last time I saw you you were gonna go visit the professor.
Kelly, the professor is dead.
George.
Listen to me. I went to his room this morning and he wasn't there. Two dumb thugs were looking through his things. They pushed me out of his room and threw me off the train.
The point is they were searching for something, I don't know what, but they've killed the professor for it, and now I'm positive they're gonna go after you. We've gotta get off the train and contact the police.
George, you've got it all mixed up.
I don't have it mixed up.
I'm just worried about you.
Hello, Roger. Uh this is my friend George Caldwell, Roger Deverell.
George has just been telling me how he'd been thrown off the train.
Oh you're the one. I'm so pleased to see you.
Yes, I'm fine.
Oh that's good news. As soon as I was told, I contacted the lease in Albuquerque and told them to spare no expense to make sure he was safe. Reese, he's like a child, got off the train and tried to find you, say he was sorry. How did you get back on?
Yeah.
He's the one that threw you off.
should work.
I do remember, but what has he got to do with you?
Works for me, he's my chauffeur, not very bright and extremely loyal. Naturally, I assume total responsibility for all his actions and will pay for any damages.
And what about that other fellow?
Mm. I met another man this morning. Does he work for you too?
Oh yeah, yes of course I
y you don't know the entire story, do you? Early this morning I was having breakfast with Professor Schreiner, and he wanted to show me some important papers connected with his book, but unfortunately they were missing. So we
searched his compartment twice, and eventually rediscovered them in his trunk in the baggage room. It was something of an upset, but if you renew the professor you'll know he's slightly absent minded.
Mr Devereux, I'm very confused. I don't understand how you could have had breakfast with Professor Schreiner this morning.
George thinks the professor's been murdered.
That's right, last night.
That's extraordinary. Why should you think that?
Because I saw him fall off the roof of this train just outside this window. He was shot in the head.
You were in this compartment.
I was lying right here.
He'd have to go back to Mike and Bob and straighten it out. He doesn't know what he's doing.
Europe?
시청해주셔서 감사합니다.
Professor Schreiner, Mrwell
Thank you.
Mr. Colwell is the man that Reese inadvertently threw off the track.
Okay.
Oh yes, that stupid person. I do hope you weren't hurt.
No, no, I'm alright.
I suppose I'm to blame for this morning's fracas, after all, none of this would have happened if I hadn't displaced the rembrant.
Thank you.
What?
Doesn't matter. I'm so glad that you're all right and managed to get back on the train.
Professor, I put back as much I put back
Hey!How'd you get here?
Uh Mr Colwell, allow me to introduce an associate of mine, Mr Whiny. If an apology is due, I'm sure that he'd be prepared to make it. It's a pity that Reese is not here to do the same.
Grease that moron. It was all his fault. I was looking for the papers. I never touched you, did I? No?
No, see?
It's been uh very hectic for me. I think I'll have a scotch and lie down.
I don't should use my company.
Thank you.
Hilly, will you help him with that mess? Mr Caldwell, it's been nice meeting you. I hope the rest of the trip for both of us is a little less exhilarating.
Let's hope so.
I think I've made a silly fool of myself this moment.
No, no, I did. I I was just sticking my nose into a lot of stuff that's none of my business and coming up with some crazy ideas. You were right. I guess I was imagining a lot of things last night. Probably the champagne. George.
Yeah.
Your chat.
That's all right.
We get to Chicago tomorrow and I did come on this trip to do some work, so I'll say goodbye.
By my conclusion, possibly join us for dinner this evening.
Yes.
Two.
Thanks.
No. I think I'll just eat my room.
This latch seems to be stuck. I'll get the porter to fix it right away.
And at the end of that clip, Hilly is full on face slapped, and that takes us past the first third of the film. We finally made it to the first third of the film, Matt.
Woo!
It takes a little bit to get there.
But I love the
It was grabbing tits all day. That was fucking hilarious.
And he actually was because it was a cow that he was milking. So yes, he was grabbing tits.
But the th then you're a sexy fellow, aren't you?
Yeah, Ned Beatty's a real sleaze bag in this. And I don't buy the explanation at all that the guy in the car is trying to say, even before he slaps Hilly in the face.
Like you can tell something's up and it's only because what's his face just wants everything to be okay. George, he just wants everything to be okay. He just wants to believe that, you know, these people aren't
Yeah, you just...
Yeah.
Wants everything to be just fine.
Right.
Why is it everyone's a good person? Yeah.
Yeah, and he just he just kinda goes along and it's just it doesn't quite work like as a believable thing, but it's also a comedy, so I'm just gonna chill the fuck out and shut the fuck.
Yeah, uh again, these are slapstick comedies that uh you've got to suspend your belief in things.
Yeah, and this is also kind of an action comedy where they take the disaster film of the time and make sort of a comedic parody.
comedies you can in action comedies you have to suspend belief even more because the then they're really gonna get wacky because or else you're just an action film. Like you know so the action has to be real slapstick or else you are just a regular a action film.
Yeah, but when we actually get into the action, the s the humor does stop and it does get scary, especially some of the stunts. There's some really crazy cool fucking shit in this. Like very cool shit in this.
That kinda reminds me of uh Another Gene Wilder flick the Willy Wonka, which is, you know, supposed to be a comedy but gets dark pretty quickly.
Yeah, there's nothing.
Yeah.
And if they ain't dead, they're very unhappy. Very, very much.
Ha ha.
The d it reminds the the Ted Lasso scene where he's like, I'm sorry to tell you, Rebecca, those children are dead.
You can call an anti-lasso anytime. I mean, why don't we move on?
Yeah.
All right.
All right, so the middle third starts with George drinking many minis and trying to balance his glass on the Tower of Empties he is building, and Ned Beatty swings in for our seventh.
What are you up to there, lover boy?
Bob sweet.
I'm alright.
Better yet, what are you? A miniature alcoholic.
Did you know that the Blanard Tunnel was the highest point on this line?
Did you know that when we reach it I intend to be higher?
Just don't fall off, huh?
I've left this train once already. That's enough.
Last night.
Just as I was about to
Kiss my beautiful blonde. I saw her boss hanging outside the window.
I think that's the fall.
It was shot in the head.
Thank you.
I I knew that I had been drinking.
So I went to see the professor this morning, and I found this little weasel of a guy in his room.
Oh I I know, I I just know. Go on, go on.
Well, then this this huge mountain with a gold mine stuck in his gums picked me up And threw me off the train.
Well y but you never saw the professor, huh?
No, I saw him. I saw him this afternoon.
In Hilly's compartment.
See the man I saw last night was a hallucination.
Oh.
The the professor, you know that you you saw this afternoon.
his picture.
Why are you asking me all these questions?
Did he say anything?
Nothing, nothing. He was tired and wanted to have a scotch.
You don't have any ice in your chase.
Scotch.
See you didn't have a The professor's been murdered.
Guy you saw this air room is a fake.
Oh no.
Listen, I talked to the Garrilla professor last night.
He didn't want to have anything to do with Mr. Devereaux. Besides that, he is a health nut. Doesn't touch alcohol.
Bobby, just because you're a vitamin salesman?
My name is Stevens. I'm a federal agent.
We've been working on this case for two and a half years.
Oh
What are you tailing the professor for?
I am not tailing the professor. I am tailing Devereaux.
But what about it?
Don't worry about it. They're not gonna kill her until we get to Chicago. I don't think they'll try to kill you till then.
Never old span must have brought the professor back here after nine o'clock last night.
How do you say that?
Of course I left him at nine o'clock.
And because this is the easiest access to the room, somehow you must have escaped.
He got out to the splatter, then ran back down the tree.
You're not going.
Come on up and keep a lookout, will ya?
Alright, I'll try.
And at the end of the clip, a Ned Bay shaped stunt man climbs on top of a moving train and runs along the top of it.
To retrieve a piece of tweed that is proof the professor was killed, and we come back inside for more dialogue, which is our
Then I was right. I did see.
I bet Devereux already got the body picked up and placed in Cold Stories someplace. Too bad he was a sweet old guy.
But why did he have to kill the professor?
He was going to be embarrassed by the findings in the professor's book.
Two of the institute's rim branch, both bought and authenticated by Devereaux, were going to be proved forgeries. The professor had the proof in his possession. I asked him last night, what was the proof?
He told me I was going to have to wait.
For his lecture.
And Deborah wasn't going to wait.
I think the idea was to kidnap the professor, then kill him.
And then, you know, substitute some phony look-alike who would bust the lecture and discredit the book. We've got to find the proof.
They have the proof. They have it. That's what Whiney and everyone were looking for this morning, the Rembrandt letters. They said that they found them in the professor's trunk.
They're lying. That's the first place they would have looked before they started turning his room upside down. No. The professor hid them someplace, somewhere simple. As a precaution, we found out that Devereaux was on the track.
My god, I know where they are! Come on! Come on!
The Rembrandt letters.
Holy Toledo, I think you found it. This is the genuine article, penned by the old boy himself, huh?
My guess is that there's a fact, there's some kind of a date in all this. It proves it charges uh Professor Mason's book. Push the button for the porter, will you? I want to get the conductor to radio ahead to the next town.
It's difficult to believe that a man was killed over those.
This is the tip of an iceberg. You know that plane crash in Cologne, Germany last year? That was a Deferro special. A hundred people got killed in that one. It was just to cover up his involvement in the Metropolitan Gallery scandal.
We knew he was responsible. We couldn't pin it on him. These letters are gonna blow his multimillion dollar operation in art sky-high.
That's why she was so distant. They must have had her in a corner.
I want you to remember that your neck is on the line too. You already told him you saw the real professor shot.
Yeah, I did. So what do I do now?
Be responsible for Hilly. Get her off the train into safety. I'm gonna take care of Mr. Devereaux.
Here comes the tongue.
We'll make our move when the train gets to Dodge City tonight.
It's appropriate, huh? Gun smoke at the OK Corral?
Спасибо.
Get my gun, take my gun, take my gun, go on.
Thank you.
Get the girl off the train, okay?
You know I got a funny feeling this bullet was meant for you?
That man's dead. Holy.
Mola, you shot him!
I d no. You you No, wait a minute.
It's been shot! It's been shot!
I didn't-
Thank you.
Hi.
Ευχαριστώ.
With that, a chase ensues and George is now on the hook for a murder he did not commit and is running for his life from a Jaws-looking Richard Gill. George barricades himself in what looks like a sort of freight car area.
And Jaws starts to break in as George loses his gun while trying to open an outer door, only to grab a harpoon gun or something and hide, just as Jaws comes in looking for him. We get more of a man running on top of a train and
As Jaws looks for George, and George sneaks his way up with a harpoon gun, gets the drop on Jaws, and nails him in the chest before tossing the gun off of the train in disgust for having to have had to kill someone.
George is clipped by a surprise marker sign and knocked off of the train in what looks like the Sierra Mountains.
And has to walk his way into civilization again and finally get a ride into town after trying to hitchhike with like fifty fucking people. He finds a sheriff.
He gets inside and is immediately startled by the sounds of a gunfight on the TV. He's a bit frazzled after the fight and someone trying to kill him multiple times.
Yeah, which is understandable.
And he tries to get to the sheriff's attention and that starts our nightclip.
Now what can I do for you?
All right.
A murder. A man's been shot on the silver streak, and there's a girl who's in great danger. We have to stop the train.
Now wait a second. You say a man's been shot?
Yes.
Jump on Gemini. We've never had a murder before. Uh, sit down. Have a cup of coffee. Uh, help yourself. Uh, now uh, let's get back.
감사합니다.
Well, what did you say your name was?
Caldwell. George Caldwell. I'm from Los Angeles.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Actually there were two.
Okay.
Yes. The first was Bob Sweet. He was a federal undercover agent.
Yes. And the second was a man by the name of Reese. I shot him. You No, because you thought sweet was me.
Reese shot sweeten, you shot Reese, right?
With a spear gun.
The what? You see, I took Sweet's gun but I dropped it, so I had to use a spear gun. Uh don't you can't we call someone?
W wait a second. You say you shot Reese with a spear? Yes.
He was going to shoot me.
With a spear?
Oh, with a bullet. He shot the professor. Who shot the professor?
The professor. Reese. Reese shot sweet. And Okay.
Oh, th I'm sorry, I forgot. Uh the professor was shot last night. Uh can't we just do all of this later?
Was there anyone else?
Anyone else what?
A shot No no
But there will be soon if we don't stop the train. Please, just pick up the phone and call your superiors. Tell them I have the Rembrandt letters. That's why the professor was shot.
See with the feds? Oh, this guy Rembrandt.
Rembrandt is dead.
Dead. Dead, that makes four. Listen, fella, you sure you're not making this up as you go along? I'm an officer of the law, and I got a lot better things to do than listen to that kind of funny.
That's my hotline. Now you take the time to get your facts straight, because when I come back, I want your answers clear.
And you can start with who shot Ribra.
Thank you.
Yeah, this is Chauncey. Noose.
Sittin' right here in my office. That's right. Came in here spouting some bull about shooting some people on the train, wanted to confess. I knew he was a loony right off. Oh yeah.
Don't you worry, cried.
I've handled no disp-
Sheriff, I'm sorry. I guess I was a little rattled before. It must have sounded crazy to you.
Oh, that's perfectly all right, Mr. Caldwell. Uh that is what you said your name was, uh didn't you? George Caldwell?
Yeah. Um I really think that we ought to get on the phone to Washington. I'm sure if they heard what I have to say, they would do something about stopping the train.
Oh yeah. Them boys in Washington, they're pretty smart, all right. You ever watch them on TV? Bam bam.
Sheriff, listen to me. They know all about Swede and Devereaux. I figured that the Silver Streak should be in Kansas in an hour. We could stop the train at Scott City or maybe Dodge.
All right, mister
Just kidding.
Don't shoot, you stupid ignorant son of a bitch, dumb bastard. Jesus Christ, I've met some dumb bastards in my time, but you outdo them all.
Get over there!
What the hell do you think I'm doing? I come here to help a girl who may be killed at any minute. You're playing cops and robbers like you're on television.
There ain't no way you're ever gonna get away with this. Get away.
Pick up the phone.
We know who you are.
What are you talking?
That was the county sheriff on the hotline, they're coming to get you you ain't got a chance.
Get me for what?
Killing a vitamin salesman on a
He was no vitamin salesman. I told you he was a federal agent. They should know that.
Look if you'll if you'll just put down that gun and come along quietly, you're outnumbered. There ain't no way you're ever gonna escape.
What is that?
That's my deputy.
Get out.
Keep your hands down.
He's got your
Gun. Get your hands up. Get against the wall. Keep your hands up.
Get back, get back!
Keep those hands up!
And go to rest until they hunt you down.
Keep your hands up. Keep them up!
Uncle Oliver?
He's taking your call.
Uncle Oliver?
Whoa!
One more word out of you, I gonna smash your mouth.
JJ, I got bad news for you.
Uh Caldwell's escape.
Yeah, let's kn uh look, let's not go into that now. He's headed down three fifty, and we can stop him before he crosses state line. Right.
The bit with trying to get to the gun is some seriously funny shit in that clip. That was really funny how they were doing that little dance. Yeah.
And he thinks the cops just trying to help him'cause again he lives in that little bubble world where he just like thinks everything's gonna be okay and that he can trust people and it just doesn't work out.
Ha ha
Well, they cut from the end of the clip there to George driving like a man possessed to get to someone who will listen to him or to catch up with the train when he is shocked to find someone in the back of the car, which has some dialogue that you know goddamn well is going to be our Yeah.
Stupid bastard.
Who are you?
Cool.
I'm a thief, man. Take it easy. I ain't gonna freak you out no more. How about hand me them keys up there? I'd like to get these cops off.
Oh sorry.
It's real nice the way you handled yourself back there with Oliver. I was listening.
What do you want you for anyway, man?
Drop me off anywhere along in here, okay? I don't mess with the big
I'm not stopping anywhere. Do you know the roads around here? Yeah. Well maybe we could make a deal. I'm not a murderer. I'm trying to prevent one. But in about a minute we're gonna be surrounded by cops. If you can get us out of it, you'd be doing both of us a favor. What do you think?
Better make a right up here and then a sharp left. I'm coming over.
Jesus Christ, man! That's how you murdered your victims? Put them in a car and bounced them into-
That's
Sorry.
Cruise one thing though. You don't do this for no living.
All right.
Just take it easy. I'm gonna take over in a minute. Don't make no more sudden moves, okay? I'm gonna check with headquarters and find out the game plan for tonight.
is going to get back on that train. That means he has to cross into Kansas on one twenty, one hundred sixteen, or thirty.
Three fifty.
Now, I figure if we put stakeouts on all of those roads, we'll get that feller. The first should be at the junction uh Tobman's Road on 160.
What are you slowing down for?
So there's a truck up ahead. We demand. Let's turn on the side.
Would you like to drive for a while?
Car 36. Report your position. Do you read me?
Car 36, Chauncey, we're moving in for the roadblock at the intersection of Tobins Road.
And one sixteen.
That's fine, fellas. Car forty five's already there. We're going in for a double block on all points.
Yo double roadline, huh?
That's all I wanted to know about it Fasten yourself in, partner
Thank you.
You ain't got nothing to worry about.
I got the nerve and I got the touch.
Better pull it tight.
Real tight. Used to do this all the time back home in Texas.
Do what?
I hear something come, Chauncey, but I can't see anything yet.
That's fine boys. We got them boxed in now.
Aren't you gonna slow down?
It's not out.
Just open your eyes, man.
make a criminal out of you yet.
वालो पाचा!
Oh car thirty six
What the hell happened to you guys?
There's a growing team I'll do!
You wanna know what happened?
What?
Just whooped your ass!
Ha ha ha!
That break through the fucking barricade of the fucking tits. I love that in this film. I totally do. Yeah.
They cut from this to the train as Hilly is being interrogated about George, and then they cut to George snooping around a car a lot at night before confronting Grover, the thief.
looking to steal the fanciest car on the fucking lot. George takes off and the owner pulls a gun on Grover, dropping an N bomb as he does it, therefore not clip. George does
Yeah.
George does a flying body drop tackle out of nowhere, which was incredible. Great fucking stunt. Knocks the old man down, takes the shotgun out of his hand, and then the pair take off in the car, which leads to more dialogue and are
Eleven.
Man, that was beautiful. Ain't nobody gonna mess with you.
Oh yeah.
Wait a minute.
Man, you're pretty bad old dude.
All I want to do is get to Kansas City by the morning.
Don't worry about that. With this honey, we're gonna be in Kansas City. We just get some sleep, man. So we're on our way to Kansas.
This leads into a very long driving sequence.
After the end of the clip there.
They're going through a lot of.
Yeah, it's through a lot of rolling plains of Kansas, but they are in a Jaguar, which is pretty fucking sweet.
And at some point they kind of cross for sure. Yeah. At some point when they're cross dissolving, we see that George is now driving the car and Grover is finally sleeping.
He wakes up with a smile and they talk about Hilly and how love affects them. They then cut from this to a train station and I'm really sorry about all this. I'm gonna try and cut out all of the negative stuff that I possibly can, but this is our
Well, clear.
passenger hall please report to the information desk in the north concourse.
We've got ten minutes. I'll get the tickets. Just wait.
Right here.
Go get the tickets and it's goodbye, George.
What are you talking about then?
That's my driver's license picture.
I hate that picture.
Yeah, why don't you just shuffle right over there and tell him about it?
Are they the police?
No, they're from Travelers A.
But how are we gonna get on the train?
That's a good question.
I still got the gun. Maybe I could start a diversion.
Yeah, blow your brains up.
Wait, I got an idea.
You come with me.
How much you want for that reading?
Thank you.
Three downs.
We're taking. Pay the man.
Watch pay to man.
It's a bad hat you got on. Give me$5 for it. It's yours. Thank you. Pay demand.
What?
Be the man!
And another five for the shoe bottle.
Don't argue, just pay to me.
$40. Thank you very much.
Thank you. Uh see anything else you want? Just make me a little bit.
Well thank you very much.
How about a bridge?
And win them all.
That is the stupidest idea I have ever heard.
You want to save that barrel right?
Then it's this or with date.
I can't pass for black.
Who you telling? I didn't say I was gonna make you black. I said I was gonna get you on the train. Now we got to make them cops think you're black.
It'll never work. Never.
What are you afraid it won't come up?
That's a good joke. That's humorous.
Like that.
May I speak?
Thank you.
This is crazy.
It'll never work!
Don't you understand?
Are you kidding? Look at that. Al Jolson made a million bucks looking like that. Now here, you try.
Yeah, don't worry about your eyes, cause you're gonna be wearing these.
Go.
Yeah, that looks good. Get on top of here.
Oh my check.
And then you slide this beanie on it. There you go. All right, ace seduce.
That's bad, man. You're looking good. Now here, take this radio. When you step out of here, you gotta step out of here like King Shit, right?
I put that radio to your ear. That's gonna help cover your face, right? And just move.
Move your body with the rhythm of the music. That's all you gotta remember, okay? Let me see you try. Step to the music.
Yeah.
Stop.
Such a tight ass man. How you gonna walk out of here with a tan face in that white book? Just get into the music. Come on, George. Come on, loosen up. Listen to the beat. Let your feet move.
Now do it. Can't you feel it? The temple's right.
Right here, right in there.
That's all you gotta do. Yeah, now try it. Don't you feel?
work George needs a lot of work. You know that.
Well you practice.
Man, you gotta practice, but let it be loose. Listen to the music power.
Call it a beat.
Feel it coming up?
Feel it?
Yeah.
Thank you.
I'm gonna get the chicken. Okay, I'll be back.
God.
Come on, man. Let's enjoy it.
Shake it.
But don't break.
Hey man.
Yeah!
I feel like a turnaround midnight.
Иди!
Hello.
Get down! Get down! Feeling good! Feeling fine! Feeling real!
It's Daryl, I'm the king, number one baby!
Uh
C'est le film.
I don't think we'll make it past the cops.
I'm gonna get past the cops. I just hope we don't see no Muslims.
Who you looking for? White guy. Well, if I see any, I'll let you know.
Your attention, please. The Amro train, the Silver Street, departing for Chicago is now
This is Chicago time.
First clip.
No visitors committed beyond the loading page.

She's gone.
Sure that's her compartment.
Продолжение следует...
Yes, of course. Hey, wait a minute.
Where are my clothes? All my clothes are gone.
This is your compartment?
Of course I'm sure. The police must have taken everything when they found Sweet's body. We've got to see if Hilly's still on the train.
How are we gonna do that?
Yeah.
Go down to the phony professor's room. It's four cars back, room C. If he's there, ask him what happened to his secretary.
Give me the gun. Now give me your wallet.
What thing? Gotta get a disguise.
I'll get a porter.
You know, these disguises are getting expensive.
Cry and cost. Where is it at?
Four cars back, room C. Stay up.
I'm moving this guy.
Good job.
We do not have to talk about that.
Yeah, I dealt with the black face by just putting it all in a clip and we're just gonna move on.
We're just everyone everyone good? Everyone good? Alright, we're fine. Everyone's fine.
The end of that clip takes us over the end of the middle third of the movie as we see Gene Wilder miraculously wash shoe polish off of his skin. And holy shit all of that was uncomfortable.
Yeah, yeah, that's not great. Not great.
All right.
We're looking at lenses of a different time.
The funniest joke in that is when the shoe shine guy that they bought all the stuff from comes in the bathroom and sees him trying to pretend to be black and he automatically says, Boy, you must be in a lot of trouble to him. Like you like
Right. It just is like I think it's something like s oh man you must be or something along those lines. I can't remember what it was, but he's just like, Oh boy, you must be in a lot of trouble. Something like that, right?
Yeah, something like that.
That's a really funny joke because he understands that that's the only reason that anyone would ever do something that dumb.
Yeah, no one should ever be doing that.
Yeah. The other line that's really fucking funny that I think Richard Pyre may have improvised is let's hope the the nation of or let's hope the Muslims don't aren't here or something like that is in watch out for the nation of Islam'cause he will die.
Which is not inaccurate.
Not good.
Yeah, that is what they were what they're doing is definitely something that would outrage people. So yeah.
Just a little.
We can be done if we want. We can move on to the final act. Alright, so the final act starts with Gene still drying off his face and he notices a tape machine and starts up the music for some reason. Hilly comes in and George is knocked out as soon as he sees her. They cut to him waking up
And that is our thirteenth.
Are you alright?
That's what I was gonna ask you. I'm sorry about your head.
gone back to the compartment if I thought that you were gonna
The Rembrandt letters.
Okay.
I guess I blew it.
Poor George.
I tried not to get you involved, but they came to me yesterday and they told me that they'd killed the professor and that unless I cooperated, they'd kill me too.
I'd go along with some.
I was I was really happy when you did, but I was afraid I'd never see you again.
Do I jump so?
I was scared you wouldn't be here.
I missed you, Hilding.
Huh?
You've got Shopa.
Mind your ear.
I'll explain that to you later. Where are you?
Just passing the Illinois River Canal. Well, how are you? I hope I didn't slug you too hard.
Devereaux.
Perfect.
You want to see him and he wants to see you. Ladies first.
Um
Thank you.
Uh please sit down, make yourself comfortable. Miss Burns, how are you? Uh bring us some fresh coffee, toast and uh marmalade for our guests, would you?
I've just been looking over this correspondence you brought me and uh
It's fascinating. The professor was right. It's a remarkable find. I'm almost tempted to destroy it, but then on the other hand, I've always had a soft spot for things of beauty, particularly when they were genuine.
I don't think they propose any further threat to you.
I hope you're not too disappointed if this doesn't work.
No, but on the contrary, I think it will. This has been a very difficult project, and I have made an error or two. One of them was bringing that man Reese out to here. What happened to him, by the way?
I shot him.
Good for you. You probably deserved it.
You did have him kill the professor, didn't you?
Oh no. Oh no. On the contrary. He did that on his own. An unfortunate mistake. I knew we couldn't kill the professor until we had the Rembrandt letters. So I had to set up a scenario whereby.
The uh professor was kidnapped and an imposter impersonated him in order to discredit him. Uh we would have killed him anyway, but his escape attempt the other night upset the entire scheme.
Excuse me sir. It's all confirmed.
Yeah.
We'll be waiting at Rockdale.
Oh, uh, Mr. Caldwell, you do remember Johnson, don't you? He played the part of the professor and would have done the same thing at Chicago with the help of Miss Burns had it been necessary. How long before we arrive at Rockdale?
An hour and a half, sir.
Thank you, Jones. Now all that remains is to clear up a couple of points.
Meaning the two of you. So I've arranged a new scenario wherein you are responsible for the murder of the professor.
Why would I kill the professor?
But to get the Rembrandt letters, that he found out you had to shoot him because he tried to blackmail you.
Which brings us more or less up to date. Except that in about forty-five minutes from now, the professor's trusty secretary is going to quarrel with her partner lover and shoot him. And he dies.
But not before shooting her.
Enough of this talk of plots and scenarios. Join me in a cup of coffee, would you?
Thanks.
The professor's book is still gonna be published.
Yes, indeed, my dear. But without the letters, I'm afraid it will be regarded as the jottings of a revisionist.
Bye.
An X crank, as a matter of fact. The silver streak does have its drawbacks, but please try the marmalade. They do provide an excellent cuisine. Oh!
Well thank you, sir. I tell the boys in the kitchen we aims to please. Coffee, missed?
No thanks.
Good.
That's your lady man.
She's something else.
Stand up, mama. Let me get a look at it.
Mm-mm. Have mercy.
Stuart, you may go. Thank you very much.
Can I help you serve just with a little more coffee?
No, thank you. I appreciate my support.
Продолжение следует...
You don't know me well enough to call me no n-
You don't even know my name. I'll whoop your ass. Beat the white off your ass.
Who are you?
Thief.
It's all right, Hilly. He's a friend of mine.
Alright.
Okay.
So this is Mr. B.
That's the man.
You ain't saying shit now, Mr. Big.
I must admit that I'm slightly at a loss for words, but on the other hand, I should warn you that you are a killer and you are wanted by the police in every state. And I recommend that you.
You're the killer who's wanted by the police in every state. That man you had shot wasn't a vitamin salesman. He was a federal agent. They've been after you for two years.
Ever since that plane crash in Cologne, Germany, when you caused a hundred people to die just to cover up your link with the scandal at the Metropolitan Gallery. So why don't we get them the proof that they wanted? Let's go and get the Rembrandt letters.
Get up.
Get up!
Just do what he said.
Call well, I take it that you are a reasonable man and like all men you place a reasonable value on your life.
You trying to bribe me?
merely pointing out that life is short and the smart man hedges his bets.
You can't protect bets.
If there's one thing I have learned from this trip, it's that you play the game.
And take what you get.
Found
That starts a shootout and the boys have to jump off the train again. They do not get the letters. This is the third time George has had to leave the train, and when they get out of the water, they are both caught. The film then cuts.
That's to the evil man burning the letters out in the open of his train car. And that just seems really dumb burning the letters right there on the fucking train, uh like right out in the open. Why don't you at least go in the bathroom and burn it in the fucking sink? You know.
Yeah, right.
You know, or in the bathtub in on that tape plate, you know, where you can put it out a lot easier.
Uh well anyway, one of his henchmen comes in with some news and well, that's dialogue, so that's our fourteenth clip.
Yeah? I just talked to Cheney. He'll have the helicopter ready at Rockdale, just about five minutes from the station.
We'll be there in 46 minutes.
Is there any way of stopping this train between here and there?
Aside from the engine, there's an emergency break in each car.
Okay. All of them?
Yes, all of them. And take her with you.
They're yours.
You George Caldwell, we
You pleased, would you just tell me
God damn it!
Would you please tell me what the hell we're doing here and what you want from me?
You or George Cromwell? Yes.
I'm George Calbert.
I want some information from you and I want it facts.
I did not.
Not kill sweet.
We know that. And if you weren't so dumb, you would have realized that we planted that news story for your own protection. I've had men posted in every town since Dodge City trying to pick you up while you're gallivanting around the countryside wasting valuable time.
I didn't know that they were federal agents.
Well, let's see what you do.
How many men has Devereaux got on the train? Two. What's his plan after they get to Chicago?
Chicago. He's not going to Chicago. He's getting off at the stop before at Rockdale.
I was afraid of that.
Okay. Matthews, over here.
We're going to stop the train before Rockdale. Closest is.
The Harris Mill Junction.
The railroad. Tell them uh make out like it's uh routine emergency inspection. Now have Bronsky bring his men up in choppers from the south. Get all the passengers off the train, and I don't want any slip-ups. We'll be there as soon as we can. Colgo, you come with us. Stuart, what do you want to do?
This has been a nerve shattering experience for me, so I'd like to go home.
Boys, take him anywhere he wants to go. Okay, men, grab your rifles. Let's move it.
Thank you.
Your shelves.
Let's go!
What does he think I'm gonna do with this?
Build her tires out on the train.
Thanks for everything.
Маталья.
God damn it. Caldwell, get out of here!
If there's ever anything.
Need. Don't call me.
Don't let them get you killed. Take it easy, Keller. Stay loose.
Where'd you like to go, fella?
Left my jag in Kansas City.
They cut from this to the train where everyone has to exit before the bad men can get off the train. Evacuation begins.
And the large man sneaking past bit returns before the man Batty is told it's the cops, and it cuts to copaganda, siren driving as George arrives with the police.
And the baddies are tooling up with M16s. How the fuck did they get those on the train? Oh, wait, it was the 70s.
Yeah.
I mean it's the seventies, man. You bring an atom bomb under the goddamn train.
They knock out the porter and man did that piss me off to see old Dick Halloran get one in the back of the head like that with a knockout shot.
Yeah.
Terrible. But at least he only got knocked out and didn't get killed. And a shootout starts as the passengers flee in terror. The shootout itself.
Goes on for quite a while as George tries to load his gun, when he is startled by Grover, who is returning his wallet in the middle of a shootout for some reason. Oh, that's because it's funny, that's why.
Yeah.
The main baddie shoots a conductor in cold blood and gets the train running again just as George, Grover, and the baddie's henchmen jump on. Devereux is the baddie's name, I just learned that because his guy is screaming at Adam for help before he gets kicked.
in both hands and forced to fall. Then the baddie named Devereaux forces the engineer to keep his foot on the train, making it go full speed. Grover and George make their way through
They threw the train as Hilly is dragged out of the car by the remaining henchmen. Devereaux and the pigs have a shootout between a helicopter and train, which doesn't seem like the most accurate way to be able to shoot, probably.
No, that doesn't seem helpful.
George gets the drop on the henchman after Grover goes down in a battle, and Hilly and Grover are both okay because Grover was playing dead because it was a shootout.
Yeah.
I don't blame you.
Me neither, man. I what do you think I'm doing? Playing dead right away.
The cops and the baddie shootout continues as a nearly out of control helicopter almost hits the train. Man, that was kinda cool.
Yeah.
Yeah. The conductor tried to escape but is shot and the baddie puts a toolbox
on the accelerator before being shot all to hell by the feds and killed by an oncoming train as he hangs out of the side, paralyzed by being shot, and I'm guessing the fear of it all, and man, that was really satisfying, even though you don't actually see him get splattered.
Yeah, but I mean still, you know. You know what happened.
And the three heroes are now on the runaway train and need to figure out how to stop it to save their lives.
George decides to do the climb walk across the top again. They cut to a Fred Willard cameo, so you know goddamn well that's going to be our fifteenth clip.
How's it going?
I don't
Look, the engineer is probably anxious to bring the train in on schedule.
This is Chief Donaldson. Who's this?
This is Jerry Jar. Mm.
Get me your bot.
But I'm sure I can handle any problem you might have.
It's not my problem. You've got a dead engineer and a runaway train that's going to hit Chicago in 15 minutes. Now, what are you going to do about it?
All right, I'll check with the signal towers. But um, you see it's impossible.
If the engineer is dead, who's driving the train?
Is there any way?
Oh, he's okay.
Listen to me. Is there any way to get to the engine without going over the roof?
There ain't no way to get the engine pillar.
Why are we going so
Fair.
Because there's no one driving this train.
Oh, that's impossible! It would stop!
Does this look as if we're stopping?
I received a report from the signal towers. They see no engineer in the cabin.
Great, now you've got the facts. Why don't you just throw one of those switches and have the train run off on a siding?
That's the problem. All the tracks are computer programmed.
Switching the silver streak would only cause a collision with another train.
Then what the hell are you gonna do? There are people riding on that train.
You see, the standard procedure in such an emergency would be to derail the train.
Derail it in the middle of the yard.
Yes, actually I can't take that responsibility. Uh I'd better get my boss.
You better do something, you idiot, because in ten minutes you're going to have two hundred tons of locomotive smashing through Central Station on its way to Marshall Field.
Where are we going?
Продолжение следует...
Hey, Jack!
Dziękuję za uwagę.
And what we have to do is I'm coming to God. We've got to put up that car and turn it to the left. We're going to party.
Don't there, Fresh Lion?
And the wrist!
Climb on throughout the train, and you've got to jump on back!
I fell.
Hey Mabel, have you seen Benny?
But isn't the little Caesar the railroad?
Thank you.
Silver Streak is a runaway. What do we do?

We'll be here in four minutes.
You are requested to walk to the nearest exit as quickly as possible.
That's the end of that. Our Pentultimate Clip. The station is given a warning at the end of the clip, and our heroes fight to stop the train in time to save their lives and the lives of those at the station.
They successfully sever the cars and jump to safety from the speeding away car to the car that is slowing down as the engine spectacularly crashes into the station. This is a disaster movie level of crash effects and stunts.
that I cannot begin to even describe accurately. I'm not taking the time to write it down.
Blues brothers level here.
Yeah. This is Blues Brothers level of mass devastation and destruction, like in a comedy aspect as well, where people are running out of the way and safe and things are being destroyed, but it's funny the way that it's being destroyed, but no one actually gets hurt, and it's actually pretty fucking cool.
Yeah.
¡Gracias!
It's a really awesome.
Yeah. Our heroes make it alive and
Dick.
Our heroes make it alive and Dick Halloran drinks to his life in our final.
And no Chicago hell!
Gotta drink to that!
Amen. Thank you.
I don't know about you, but next time I'm gonna take the bus.
Maybe I'm crazy, but it looks as if it's grinning.
Yeah, like the cat who swallowed the canary.
I don't know
Take it easy, killer.
Stay loose!
What's she doing?
He's crazy.
Crazy. He's got the right idea.
Let's get out of here.
I'm tired.
I want to lie back on the grass and have you teach me some more about gardening.
You know, no gardening talk being sexy just doesn't quite work, I don't think.
Oh worked out for him.
Yeah, yeah, as long as they're happy together.
This shell still fucking s-
Awesome movie. The chemistry with Wilder and Prior just is unmatched uh at this point in times in their careers. It's just uh a great way of like bringing two guys who have different ways of doing humor and bringing them together and it just works.
Yeah, definitely. Uh this is kind of a Gene Wilder film for the bulk of it. And then they have like this little added spice of a Richard Pryor almost kind of cameo at the back half of the film, right? It's like first towel.
Yeah.
And then back half is all Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder sort of team up it.
It was it was almost like the team up movies weren't even thought of while this was being shot, and then they were like, Well, God, they they had a
Chemistry on camera together. Maybe we should uh do a couple team up movies with them.
Yeah, like I think for a moment they were just supposed to be like he was supposed to be another person who helped him and then like him coming back to give him his wallet is just like no let's bring him in and finish the film with him You know what I mean? Like it just feels like Exactly that was a because
Yes, it's comedy, but like, are you really gonna enter a fucking shootout after it already happened to give somebody his wallet? Or are you just gonna stay back out of the way and wait for him to make sure he's alive?
Right? Like which you know, which you wouldn't see as character then. He wouldn't end up on the train. Right. So it I that's why I feel like maybe that was a work to get him back in. Because they weren't expecting to put him in, but they had a
Yeah.
Right.
No, I see that completely.
Yeah. And they de they definitely know they have something here at the end of this film because we get three more fucking movies. We get two
So they know they got something with this.
So yeah, we get two good ones where the next week's movie, um I'm just gonna fucking say it here is the best for sure. And then it starts to crazy.
Come on.
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. But they definitely realize with this film they've got something here for sure.'Cause they definitely perfect what they have here in our next film next week. For sure. Oh yeah.
Yeah, definitely. Yeah. They perfect whatever accidental, you know, uh chemistry they they just produced. Yeah. And then and then did something with it in the next movie. Yeah.
Yeah. They they found a way to actually basically recreate the lightning in a bottle. Like right. Like somehow they have like a Tesla coil in a bottle with what they do next week.
All right, well I'm good with this if you are, and uh I think I'm ready to stick all the quits on this. We don't need to do story times. We'll we'll come back and maybe we'll come up with some All right, so we'll go ahead and play the uh show housekeeping and when we come back we'll close out the
