60 of 128 · most liked firstThis 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.

neutral · 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 →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 →Anyway the new Shinji Higuchi Bullet Train Explosion was fun but it had the unfortunate problem of having a very boring normal movie soundtrack that made me spend the whole time thinking about how in his co-directed Shin Godzilla, they played Decisive Battle over the cool civil service action scenes
neutral · 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.
positive · AI labelView post →second week of #letterboxdfriday for may and it's full of japanese movies for my #lastfourwatched Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER (2018) Perfect Blue (1997) A Human Murder Weapon (1992) Bullet Train Explosion (2025)
neutral · 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
positive · 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
positive · 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 →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched other than Missing, all new to me. Also watched The Two Popes, Merrily We Go To Hell, and Bullet Train Explosion, all new to me, as well. Only Cleo from 5 to 7 was a disappointment. Corrine Marchand is beautiful but I found her character uninteresting.
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 →obligatory plug for Bullet Train Explosion, the 2025 remake of the 1975 Japanese movie that inspired Speed (1994)
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Shinji Higuchi's Bullet Train Explosion Honestly might be my favorite movie if 2025. Definitely need to check the original Bullet Train now
positive · AI labelView post →I haven't seen Shinji Higuchi's Bullet Train Explosion yet, but I highly recommend the absolutely brain-dead sugar rush that is David Leitch's 2022 movie Bullet Train. Approaching this through any kind of adult critical lens completely misses the point. Take your inner nine-year-old and buy popcorn.
neutral · AI labelView post →THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Bullet Train Explosion (Netflix). A 2025 Japanese movie filled with deadly bombs, political intrigue, edge-of-your seat suspense, shocking surprises and an amazing group of interesting actors and characters. I love this movie! 6-10-25.
positive · AI labelView post →I was surprised to learn recently that Bullet Train Explosion was the number 2 movie worldwide on Netflix, which is really encouraging for Netflix to continue investing in Japanese films and jdramas
neutral · AI labelView post →After Higuchi Shinji's Bullet Train Explosion (a remake of Satō Junya's 1975 film), which looks like a giant advertisement for JR, regardless of the film's quality, they should remake Masumura's 動脈列島 Main Line to Terror, a film that looks at the dark side of bullet train lines...
neutral · AI labelView post →In light of the release of the Bullet Train Explosion from Shinji Higuchi hitting Netflix this week, we take a look at the 1975 original and how it balances action with a cast of complex characters for a movie that accomplishes more than just spectacle.
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched BULLET TRAIN EXPLOSION (新幹線大爆破, 2025) tonight because of a post talking about its train nerd vibes, and if you know what the ALFA-X is, or have ever seen the Shinkansen Control Center, you should be watching this movie *immediately* the action's nice, but the Protocol!!! the Procedure!!!
positive · AI labelView post →I watched the original Bullet Train through a couple of sittings. Really liked it! I also liked how Bullet Train and Bullet Train Explosion are different from each other despite one being a reboot/sequel The original is a heist movie while Explosion is a mystery action thriller
positive · AI labelView post →106/ Bullet Train Explosion - Shinji Higuchi Plus une suite à Super Express 109 qu'un remake, Bullet Train Explosion brille par sa capacité à mettre en scène de façon remarquable la tension du film ainsi que les rares scènes d'action bien fichus tout en étant critique de la société japonaise.
positive · AI labelView post →watched Bullet Train Explosion over the weekend. First off, this was somehow the second time this month that I accidentally watched the sequel to a previous movie I wasn’t aware of?? But also it’s a really excellent movie, I highly recommend
positive · AI labelView post →BULLET TRAIN EXPLOSION! A corny, but satisfying remake/sequel/reboot/whatever of the beloved 1975 mega-production BULLET TRAIN. Directed by Shinji Higuchi (SHIN ULTRAMAN, SHIN GODZILLA) and now on Netflix. Chugga chugga, choo choo! More @ebertvoices.bsky.social: www.rogerebert.com/reviews/bull...
neutral · AI labelView post →Destination Wedding; Keanu Reeves & Wynona Rider Bitter and very funny romance Bullet Train; snappy silly action film (a little gory) Bullet Train Explosion; smart Japanese film about a train with a bomb on it
neutral · AI labelView post →Damn it, I just watched Sisu 2 last week, and the 4 movies I'm catching at cinemas this week (BIFF) I don't think will meet. But if people want recent releases they might have missed Sisu: Road to Revenge The Lost Bus Code 3 Bullet Train Explosion In the Lost Lands - 2+ beers required, bad movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched The Bullet Train, the original 1975 movie that is the source for the new Netflix Bullet Train Explosion and it was excellent. It's 2.5 hours long that goes by as fast as the train is propelling forward, super rich plot where you care about everybody and cool scenes of 60s Japan. Recommended

positive · AI labelView post →BULLET TRAIN EXPLOSION: Part reboot, part sequel, Shinji Higuchi revisits the nail-biting scenario of the classic Sonny Chiba/Ken Takakura disaster movie THE BULLET TRAIN, delivering an epic action thrill-ride every bit as exhilarating as its predecessor. www.scmp.com/lifestyle/en...
neutral · AI labelView post →Japanese film Bullet Train Explosion is as thrilling on rewatch as the first time, even with remembering whodunnit before the reveal. So jealous of countries with high speed rail never mind electric rail. We the 2nd largest country in the world stick w diesel passenger trains on freight lines. 🇨🇦
positive · AI labelView post →220: Bullet Train Explosion (Netflix) Needed Brad Pitt and Bad Bunny boxd.it/dbAZoN
neutral · AI labelView post →Among the most slept on films of the year is Higuchi Shinji's Bullet Train Explosion, like his Shin series (Godzilla, Ultraman, Kamen Rider) a fascinating reimagining of an iconic film from Japan's past. I wrote about it and Sato Junya's original film www.thechinesecinema.com/bullet-train...
neutral · AI labelView post →A few weeks ago I ran into a discussion about pointing and calling, a method used in Japanese rail to avoid mistakes. It was fascinating seeing it in action in the recent Netflix movie, Bullet Train Explosion.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bullet Train Explosion This movie was freaking good! I totally enjoyed it a lot! Totally recommend!
positive · AI labelView post →Movie #1 - Bullet Train Explosion I struggled to keep up with the dialogue in a lot of this because of the frantic pace but it was fun to watch and I was actually able to pick up the context of the twist when it happened, which I was really excited about. Want to do more movies soon.
neutral · AI labelView post →"That’s what the message of the film boils down to: together, we can do anything (and Shinkansen are pretty cool)." The co-director of Shin Godzilla brings us disaster movie BULLET TRAIN EXPLOSION, out now on #Netflix! Read @nairon.bsky.social's review! loudandclearreviews.com/bullet-train...

neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's film: Bullet Train Explosion (2025). Dir. Shinji Higuchi. #nowwatching
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched The Bullet Train Explosion on Netflix tonight. It is the best movie about railway I have ever seen. Highly recommended. It is a sequel to the 1975 Japanese film The Bullet Train, which on the other hand inspired the 1994 American action film Speed.
positive · AI labelView post →I was reminded that Bullet Train Explosion, a new film from one of the co-directors of Shin Godzilla, comes out today on Netflix. It's a remake of 1975's The Bullet Train, which is also worth a watch.
neutral · AI labelView post →Everything I'm gathering about Bullet Train Explosion pretty much sum the movie up as "Shin Godzilla on a train," while Tsuyoshi Kusangai and Non have standout performances. I'm greatly looking forward to this 🔥
neutral · AI labelView post →Bullet Train Explosion on Netflix What a strange move, I've heard it's a remake of an older movie. But it reminds me of Speed which is a classic movie. If you like Shinkansens, explosions and drama this is the movie for you. youtu.be/Uxj6UfRH-Eg?... #nscale #modeltrains #kato #ngauge
neutral · AI labelView post →Films 2026 59. Bullet Train Explosion (2025) Sequel to The Bullet Train (1975) and not the Brad Pitt film. A bomb on the train will go off should it drop below 100km/hr. So far so 'Speed' But the police are not the heroes it's the railway workers. Pretty good. 7/10 #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →We also enjoyed: Bullet Train Explosion: Japanese movie abt a bomb on a train (thriller) In Order of Disappearance: Swedish movie about a snow plow driver who kills all the people who were involved in his son's drug death (black comedy, MUCH funnier than this sounds)

neutral · AI labelView post →Tis a movie called "Bullet Train Explosion," available on pretty much every Netflix region. I don't wanna say "all" because I'm not sure, but it's in many many countries
neutral · AI labelView post →For a gory, but funny version, try the 2022 Bullet Train, with Brad Pitt. For an interesting tightly written thriller, try Bullet Train Explosion. (Is a Japanese movie)
neutral · AI labelView post →There are excellent examples of it in a Japanese movie on Netflix, Bullet Train Explosion.
neutral · AI labelView post →I suggest watch Bullet Train (the original movie that Bullet Train Explosion is based on). It's a pretty good action thriller. www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1qP...
neutral · AI labelView post →65. Bullet Train Explosion INSANELY tense movie (including some incredibly incredibly cool practical effects and yes they may or may not involve a bullet train explosion) Main cast was really good and way more deep than you'd think from the title Wowie 👍
positive · AI labelView post →#BulletTrainExplosion #Netflix Certain aspects, such as the perpetrator's intentionally ambiguous motives, may divide opinions among viewers. However, this film seamlessly balances thrilling entertainment with a sharp critique of modern society. katsumascore.blog/en/bullet-tr...
neutral · AI labelView post →I haven't watched the rest of the movie yet so I'm not sure if I'll see them getting retribution or whatever. (The movie is Bullet Train Explosion btw)
neutral · AI labelView post →Lads if anyone needs a thriller, the Japanese film Bullet Train Explosion on Netflix is *chef’s kiss*, just finished watching and need to find something else to calm down. So good!
positive · AI labelView post →Movie 15 was Bullet Train Explosion! Another real banger and a sequel to a 1975 film The Bullet Train (both Japanese) This was Speed turned up to 11 & it was a blast trying to guess which person got to be Keanu. I also really hope Mission Control uses little train sets irl. 2 popcorns, 50yrs apart
positive · AI labelView post →Have you the recent Bullet Train Explosion which is a direct sequel to the Japanese movie Speed was based on?
