This Film- which was kind of a mixed bag of disappointment- was good for one thing- random death.
In The Devil's Express, an ancient evil from China makes it way over to America. It proceeds to hide in the Subway Tunnels- avoiding the Ninja Turtles, I guess- and kill lots of people.
One of the victims- the first- is important to the Plot. The rest, well, they are here.
Victim #1: Random Guy in Subway.
He wanders just off-screen and dies.
Victim #2: Random Asshole on Subway.
While yelling at his girlfriend and being overly-aggressive, he gets grabbed and pulled away to die by the creature. Darn?
Victim #3: Seemingly-Important-At-One-Time Friend in Subway.
At one point, he was supposed to be important to the Plot. By his end, he's running away from a fight and killed by the Monster.
At best, this is important as the 'now it is personal' moment...but that's about it.
Random death just for being a person in or around a Subway. Still not the worst thing associated with Subway though.
The moral: take the bus.
Next time, a campy anti-classic brings me some victims. It is cliché stuff. See you then...
