Eugene Kittridge: Your days of fighting for the so-called greater good are over. This is our chance to control the truth. The concepts of right and wrong for everyone for centuries to come. You're fighting to save an ideal that doesn't exist. Never did. You need to pick a side.
Trivia: Final budget was $291m, in large part due to the delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, making it one of the most expensive films of all time. Filming was scheduled to start in February 2020 with a planned release date of July 23, 2021. Filming eventually started on September 6, 2020 and wrapped in September 2021 - the film was released in July 2023.
Question: Why did Daniel and Ethan fight on the train hand-to-hand, instead of using guns? (02:16:00 - 02:20:00)
Answer: In an enclosed place, a bullet can ricochet around until it hits something - one of them or an innocent person: man, woman, or child. Worse, it could hit a section of the train, a brake line, a cable connecting the cars, or one of the conductors.
