60 of 208 · most liked firstJust watched Bullet Train. The reviews were terrible, I feared a dud, but I laughed my arse off - ludicrous plot, but an absolute riot of beautifully constructed ironic megaviolence in the best tradition of Deadpool, Kingsman, and Kill Bill. A big, loud, shiny, dumb, funny golden retriever of a film
positive · AI labelView post →quite enjoyed Bullet Train but also, more broadly, feel v strongly that "a movie you would have gone to watch at the cinema on a Thursday night" is actually a good genre, not everything needs to be either Incredible or Slop You Watch While Staring At Your Phone, please give us our middle ground back
positive · AI labelView post →I also watched Bullet Train. Holy shit, what an awesome, fun movie. Just fun, funny, great story, characters, set pieces, style. Give me more like that.
positive · AI labelView post →This Week in 'Huh': Bullet Train Explosion is a new Japanese movie about a train that will explode if its speed drops. But it's not a remake of Speed! It's a remake of an old Japanese movie of the same name. That movie actually inspired Speed--and that's why Speed ends on a train.

positive · AI labelView post →xXx: State of the Union is a good movie because it includes The Presidential Bullet Train

neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched the Japanese movie "Bullet Train Explosion" that started streaming on Netflix yesterday. It's super realistic because JR East fully cooperated with the production. It's available in multiple languages, so I recommend checking it out. #Netflix
positive · AI labelView post →As Netflix releases an underwhelming remake, now is the perfect time to revisit The Bullet Train, a movie that takes the time to understand and empathize with its radicalized anti-establishment villains www.avclub.com/the-bullet-t...
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't listen to Bad Bunny's music. I didn't know who he was until he had a part in the movie "Bullet Train". But I enjoyed the halftime show b/c it was a joyous celebration of who we're really supposed to be. and THAT... Makes America Great Again.

neutral · AI labelView post →In between trying to get a real human being to look at my problems on this damned website, I sat down to watch the 1975 film The Bullet Train, which famously inspired the movie Speed. I think it largely still holds up and is still entertaining. Wrote up just a few short words about it on Letterboxd.
positive · AI labelView post →Netflix has a new movie called "Bullet Train Explosion". The movie delivers on the title's promise, as well as being a demonstration of the values of ingenuity, cooperation, and professionalism. Also it's a delight. Four stars.
positive · AI labelView post →I watched Bullet Train Explosion, remake/sequel to the Bullet Train film from the '70s that influenced movies like Speed. Great action & tokusatsu from director Shinji Higuchi. Movies like this make me think Japanese people must distrust their government. More on those thoughts over on Letterboxd.
positive · AI labelView post →Movie Frame Study from 2023, for Ardex, ref frame is from Bullet Train, thank you for checking it out ^^
neutral · AI labelView post →So you're telling me I only get to show in four photos how the Vampire one shot based on the movie Bullet Train went? I mean let's certainly try.
neutral · AI labelView post →Read the novel Bullet Train, decided to watch the first couple of minutes of the film and was immediately irritated by something I won’t elaborate on because it would constitute as giving away plot details.
negative · AI labelView post →Bullet Train [2022] is a Train Movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Bullet Train Explosion is directed by one of the Shin Godzilla guys, so was expecting it to be a silly but very logistics-focused disaster movie (which it is). what i WASN'T expecting was for it to be blatant propaganda for the East Japan Rail Company lmao. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's movie is BULLET TRAIN. Fun and weird crazy assassins on a train, like live action Baccano.
positive · AI labelView post →I love the movie “Bullet Train” and I am unashamed
positive · AI labelView post →IMHO, the movie, Bullet Train has one of the best mid-credit scenes. This classic rocker plays over the credits and nicely ties the craziness of the entire film together.

positive · AI labelView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ Bullet Train (2010) by Kōtarō Isaka was adapted to film in 2022. The novel is a dark thriller with hints of dark comedy, while the film leans heavily into comedy and action. The film adopts an international cast though both version take place in Japan. 🚅🔪🩸 #filmsky #booksky
neutral · AI labelView post →Good or bad highlight? Recently the film 'Bullet Train' is mostly on a train, but it's not exactly a positive representation. Fun though.
neutral · AI labelView post →Reminds of this guy complaining about the movie Bullet Train having the wrong kind of diversity because it wasn't an all-Japanese cast and then went on to claim that Japanese people wouldn't understand racism and needed Asian Americans like him to explain it to them properly
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Bullet Train for the first time. Whoever made this movie must be a huge West Ham fan.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bullet Train is not the best movie but unfortunately it's fun and Aaron Taylor-Johnson is extremely hot in it
neutral · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #223 "Speed" (Jan de Bont/1994) Jan de Bont's excellent reimagining of the 1975 Japanese film, The Bullet Train. A blast from start to finish! Filled with great stunts and white knuckle tension. Check it out!
neutral · AI labelView post →Its ok I always pull myself together. 😌💪 I watched Squid Game Season 2 and Bullet Train movie. I think Squid Game S2 is too short and predictable (cause third season is soon). Bullet Train was funny and very random. 😂
neutral · AI labelView post →From Higuchi Shinji ("Shin Godzilla"), action thriller "Bullet Train Explosion" remakes Sato Junya’s 1975 original with a wink. Plays like a propaganda film for the East Japan Railway Company—given its sincerity, that may not be a bad thing. Now on Netflix joysauce.com/bullet-train...
neutral · AI labelView post →If you count it as a hitman movie, The Long Kiss Goodnight is mine. For sheer volume of weird hitmen, Bullet Train has to be included.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bullet Train is such a great movie
positive · AI labelView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Rental Family was about Brendan Fraser making you both smile and cry at the same time. Bullet Train was a fun action movie recommended by multiple friends and relatives. The Day After Tomorrow, cool disaster movie. ❄️ Edge of Tomorrow, exciting sci-fi groundhog day.
positive · AI labelView post →Shin Godzilla co-director Higuchi Shinji dropped a new movie on netflix last week, a sequel to the 1975 classic The Bullet Train, called Bullet Train Explosion. I wrote about both of them right here for subscribers only. They're both very good movies, but in very different ways.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Bullet Train (bizarre movie) but my question is why is Karen Fukuhara in this movie with a nameless random role? 😭
neutral · AI labelView post →If you liked the movie Bullet Train, you might like the sequel 777 (or "Hotel Lucky Seven" in the English translation.) A fun, fast-paced novel that's great for advanced Japanese readers. jtalkonline.com/fast-paced-a...
neutral · AI labelView post →"Fight or Flight" is... A. Josh Hartnett's best performance in his recent renaissance. B. "Bullet Train on a Plane" only MUCH better than "Bullet Train," which doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it's a movie that generally delivers on what it promises, which is... what Tim mentions.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Bullet Train. Awesome film 👏🏼
positive · AI labelView post →"You see Bullet Train? Ed? You catch that one, Bullet Train? One of the John Wick guys directed it, I forget which. Anyway, I took this hat right off the set and they didn't do shit about it. Nobody said word one. It's my hat now."
neutral · AI labelView post →Bullet Train is slowly climbing the ranks to my fav movie of all time. Its so fucking good
positive · AI labelView post →Smokey & The Bandit, John Wick and Bullet Train are proof that stuntmen can be amazing film directors.
neutral · AI labelView post →i'm gonna say it, 'cuz your film community makes me feel like being bold and brash: Bullet Train is brad pitt's best film as far as i've seen, for sure, but let alone that - Bullet Train is actually one of the greatest movies of all time. doubtless!
positive · AI labelView post →fuuuuck dawg im always saying the Mission Impossible thing of opening ur movie with a hype reel *of the movie ur watching* is the sickest shit ever and more stuff should do it so Bullet Train Explosion is getting an automatic 5 stars and nobody has spoken yet
neutral · AI labelView post →And my review of the new Netflix movie by Shinji Higuchi (the Shin Godzilla/Shin Ultraman guy) "Bullet Train Explosion". It's actually pretty good. youtu.be/Jw-cidynCmY
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Bullet Train on a whim If you liked Shrek 2 you will pop the fuck off at this movie I refuse to elaborate further
positive · AI labelView post →I really don't have any strong feelings whatsoever about Ed Zitron and I don't really care enough to change that, except one time he said the best movie of the last ten years was Bullet Train.
neutral · AI labelView post →Husband put on Bullet Train and I immediately became full-body tired. This is the kind of movie that makes me want to say "I want to go home" from within my home
negative · AI labelView post →Recently been watching a silly Netflix film called Bullet Train Explosion, mostly to practice my Japanese. No one will ever make such a film about HS2, because the damn thing will never be finished.
neutral · AI labelView post →1. Bullet Train (2022) Holy fuck this is the best movie ever made, please do yourself a service and watch it.
positive · AI labelView post →Hold up... Shinji Higuchi (Shin Godzilla, Shin Ultraman) is doing a remake of 1975 banger The Bullet Train?! Which is kind of like Speed, but on a Shinkansen I'm not usually wild about remakes, but I've got veeeery high hopes for this
neutral · AI labelView post →Looking forward to this almost as much as I am *not* looking forward to countless uninformed takes about how it rips off SPEED when SPEED ripped of THE BULLET TRAIN, the film this is a remake of.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bullet Train. No particular scene. Just the whole movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Every coworker’s favourite movie is the 2022 action comedy Bullet Train.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh, I dunno, the Russian cover from the Tetris movie comes pretty damn close. Or the Japanese version in Bullet Train.
neutral · AI labelView post →Now that the situation has died down I'm going to watch Bullet Train Explosion (movie) 💥 guess I'll be seeing y'all tomorrow, have a good night 🌙
neutral · AI labelView post →The Fall Guy The best action comedy since Bullet Train. The adoration this movie has for film crews is so admirable.
