The Worst Film Ever

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Blistering performances.

Since this rare Shatner gem hadn't been available for sometime, I was thrilled to see it available for streaming on Netflix. This is a fun "Made for TV" movie with some great stunts and decent special effects.There seemed to be a rash of "celebrity" filled disaster flicks in the late 70s and early 80s. However this movie definitely gives some of the cheesier films a run for their money. And any movie that allows more Shatner Toupological studies are just fine with me. And my goodness there were some great feats achieved by Bill's toupee during this opus!And surely that wasn't fishing line wrapping all around that engine during the final crash. Yes. Yes it was. And don't call me Shirley.

I saw this movie when I was a kid and loved it. This movie has a good collection of stars and was well made for being a TV movie,It is way too bad that this movie is not available anywhere or on anything, but I do have it taped without commercials.

Being an avid railroad buff, I have to say that I really like this movie. There's a fantastic mix of light comedy, romantic drama, and high paced action here. Although the track splicing idea is totally rediculous in the time allowed, (and the foreman was 100% correct, the train was moving way too fast for the weld to hold), it was executed with taste and efficiency.On the technical end, no train travelling 120 mph could survive a sudden 30 yard track switch. Here in NYC, the Metro North Commuter Railroad uses 100 yard switches that trains can only handle at about 50 mph. That train should have derailed instantly on such a sudden turn. Also, when uncoupling the cars from the locomotive, the sudden decompression of the air lines should have clamped the brakes on in the passenger coaches by locking all the wheels, and not as a slow gradual coasting as depicted.This is one movie that really should be released on VHS/DVD. There's enough action and suspense here for any action lover. And its a family friendly movie as well.

Spoilers herein.This is surely one of the worst films I have seen of any type, made worse in my mind because of the wasted use of the FX budget.But it has Yvette Mimieux. She's truly lovely and was talented, but lost her commitment years before. By this time, she was casually wading through TeeVee pap. Contrast her to Shatner who never, ever showed talent.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 4: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
