  Not the funniest of films that this pairing (Wilder/Pryor) have been in together, but easy watching any how. Very much like a lot of train movies, which involve, strange goings on, murder, kidnap and confusion.

  The sad case of a childhood favorite that didn't stand the test of time as well as hoped. Especially the set up of this crime comedy about a man witnessing a murder on a train trip from L.A. to Chicago, is rather slow. Once the plot thickens things are rather interesting, and it's pretty funny to behold how often George has to get back on the train. The longer the film is running the better its timing works, and the showdown and final crash into Chicago train station is breath taking and spectacular. Not a flawless film by any means, once the nostalgia wears off, but still very decent entertainment.

  Probably the best Hitchcockian comedy. Not mind-blowing but a good Saturday Afternoon flick.

  Probably the main film for Wilder and Pryor in their careers but in my opinion not their best film together, second best behind 'Stir Crazy'. This is still brilliant stuff mixing proper thrills and actual nasty murder for Wilder with his usual wild eyed lunacy haha the film… More
  Probably the main film for Wilder and Pryor in their careers but in my opinion not their best film together, second best behind 'Stir Crazy'. This is still brilliant stuff mixing proper thrills and actual nasty murder for Wilder with his usual wild eyed lunacy haha the film isn't hilarious as you may expect and is kinda slow burning from the start as the plot builds plus Pryor doesn't come into the fun till about halfway. The giggles do arise when Pryor enters the fray naturally and the film does pick up at that point, until then its a kind of semi serious murder mystery on a train with a slice of 'Hitchcock' blended in which is fine but not stunning. This is an old film now and it is pretty dated but it does still entertain as Wilder will always do no matter what year it is. The cast is classic, especially Patrick McGoohan with his 'Dick Dastardly' type villain, the scenery is quite stunning throughout the train journey, gentle musical score and the finale is still pretty impressive with the train wreck, amazing effects back in the day. A soft, pleasant, relaxing Sunday afternoon film which will make you smile and tweak your senses with a dash of murder most foul :)

  Unforgettable film with a unforgettable screenplay. The picture mixture the comedy of Pryor and Wilder in a plot A La Hitchcock.

• AJ V

  
  This is both a thriller and a comedy, but not a spoof exactly. I really like this movie, it has an excellent cast and a great story. I highly recommend it.

• Anthony L

  
  Classic Arthur Hiller and the beginning of a beautiful relationship between Wilder and Pryor. Very funny and lots of fun but in all honesty, how many times can a person fall off a train!?

• Lafe F

  
  Enjoyable train ride. Fun with Gene and Richard. It's a decent balance of comedy, action and romance. Harmless.

• Tom E

  
  One of the most hilarouis movies I've ever seen, and I don't usually like comedy!

• xGary X

  
  Reasonably amusing trainbound mystery played for laughs, worth seeing for the fact that it's one of very few films made by comic genius Richard Pryor that doesn't completely suck.

  Is there anything funnier than Gene Wilder screaming? Very much like Foul Play ( a big childhood movie) in that it involves a mystery and goes back and forth between wacky comedy and complete seriousness. I was surprised that Pryor doesn't show up until the second half. Nothing… More
  Is there anything funnier than Gene Wilder screaming? Very much like Foul Play ( a big childhood movie) in that it involves a mystery and goes back and forth between wacky comedy and complete seriousness. I was surprised that Pryor doesn't show up until the second half. Nothing groundbreaking but very entertaining. If this had been on TV as much as Stir Crazy when I was a kid, I would have watched it 30 times.

  Wilder and Pryor are always superb together and they dont dissapoint.
