Interesting facts

Crackerjack 2, known as Hostage Train in most international markets, is a 1997 Czech–Canadian action film directed by Robert Lee, starring Judge Reinhold, Carol Alt, Michael Sarrazin and Kateřina Brožová. It is a loose sequel to the 1994 film Crackerjack. Reinhold plays a damaged widower cop trying to save train passengers—among them his new girlfriend (Alt)—trapped inside a tunnel by a group of international terrorists, which includes his wife's killer (Roden) and a mysterious overlord (Sarrazin).

Production

The film was pre-produced under the title Crackerjack 2, but it was formally re-announced in North America as Hostage Train around the time of filming. While re-using part of an expository flashback from the original film, the main character's backstory has been partially retconed to tie it to this film's secondary antagonist. Filming began in late April 1996 and extended into the month of June.
