Anecdotes
To propel the miniature train used for the crash scene, the train was connected by wires running down the tracks to the rear rims of a Ford Falcon on jacks. When the car accelerated, the wire would wind around the rims and pull the train.

Gaffes
During the cricket scene where the engagement is announced, the number plate visible on the black vehicle is an LLNNNN version not issued till the mid 1960s.

9/10

Hardly Ever Heard Of In Europe.

I have always wanted to see this ever since a friend told me all about this and when she saw it in 2012 or thereabouts. Because thanks to a Christmas present I was given aged five (My Book Of Disasters / Scholastic press) I was already well aware of the Tangiwai rail disaster and the 153 lives lost that night. So until last year I have been looking for this on DVD and Youtube and can only find trailers and a three minute clip from the film - nothing else.

I finally got to see this last year as my friend has this on DVD and my goodness was I blown away. Most of all of course by the crash. However there are strong performances throughout leading up to the moment when tragedy strikes and the post-accident cricket match really does come across as a 'Could I ever do that if ever required to' moment. That nearly had me in floods proving that real men do indeed watch stuff like this as well as the fact that real men are moved to tears and mustn't be ashamed of that fact. So all I can say to those around Europe and the UK where I am from is try and see this if you can. The journey to the Southern Hemisphere which may be required ... Will almost CERTAINLY be worth it! 9/10. Recommended to a friend? FOR SURE!
