Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Train to Busan (2016)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The production team worked out the zombies' movements by studying the video game 7 Days to Die, the dolls in Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, and the nurses in Silent Hill.
- The view outside the train was filmed with an LED rear-projection screen placed behind the set and modelled on the KTX-I interior, which the team found easier than greenscreen and better for focusing on the characters.
- The Indian release of Train to Busan runs about a minute shorter than the original because a few violent zombie shots were censored.
- Technical Art Studio Cell did the zombies' special effects makeup, airbrushing their blood vessels on by hand, with the styling changed to match each stage of infection.
- By August 7, Train to Busan became the first Korean film of the year to pass 10 million theatergoers, and it soon went past 11 million.
- The deer seen in the film was made by combining real footage with a 3D model built in CGI.
