Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Money Train (1995)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Real New York City money trains looked nothing like the film's armored version, resembling ordinary yellow-and-black-striped maintenance trains, and the system stopped running them entirely in 2006 once the MetroCard and card-based fare machines sharply cut the amount of coin cash moving through the subway.
- The film's depiction of a villain robbing a token booth by trapping the attendant behind bulletproof glass and dousing them in flammable liquid was blamed for seven copycat crimes during its release; presidential candidate Bob Dole called for a boycott, and actor Chris Cooper said he regretted playing the role.
