Subway crashes

Anyone know of any movies that have underground subway crashes in them? I know I’ve seen a few, but I can’t remember where.

2

Speed

3

Die hard: With a Vengeance.

4

By the end of Silver Streak, the train is underground (or at least in an enclosed section of track) when it reaches the end of the line, if that counts.

Highlander II and Men in Black II also had subway crashes.

5

Money Train

6

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three doesn’t have a crash, but there’s a lot of shooting.

7

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll check them out.

8

I hate to ask, but is this a fetish?

Does it have to be subways or will other forms of light rail do? Because there’s the 1970s remake of King Kong where Kong takes out an El train, and Spider-Man 2 has a fight scene on a moving El and some destruction.

10

Kong took out an El in the original, too.

The Roland Emmerch Godzilla had the monster in the subways (having shunk in size from the scene before), but I don’t recall if it took out any trains.

I’m working on a video game with a level set in a subway (don’t they all). I’m looking for visual reference for a big crash, and I have this image in my head of a subway car jumping the tracks and barreling through a station, smashing through pillars and generally tearing the whole station to hell. I think I saw it in a movie at some point, but I don’t remember where.

There was such a scene in the final episode of the TV series “The Pretender” I think. It was the big cliffhanger and then the show didn’t get picked up for another season so they did a couple of TV movies instead which as far as I know didn’t resolve the cliffhanger.

13

Add a bit where the subway car smashes through a construction barrier and grinds along a city street for a bit and that’s pretty much the climax of Speed.

Batman Begins has an EL train crash, incidentally.
As long as we’re throwing in TV references, an episode of the short-lived British sci-fi series StarCops (despite the goofy name, this show was dead serious) hinged around a computer terrorist causing a mega-crash in the Chunnel, though budgetary concerns didn’t allow any spectacular FX footage.

Or Universal Studios.
