one film id like to see a remake of, the crash at the end used to distress me as a kid. Those poor hippie guys chillin all the way through the film and one gets skewered by a train track : (
The outside train scene where he is climbing window to window is called a rear screen projection,it goes to show those who weren't born before 1980 don't know squat about the classic films and the cinematic techniques of that time era. Using models and
special camera angles is the best way to simulate disasters . CG is worthless and used way too much to try and save poorly scripted or badly written films of today.
@neonflash1 : Correct. CG is way overused and looks even more fake than miniatures, some miniatures are SO well done that you can't even tell that they are models even when you know they are. CG is good only for things that can be done no other way. The only thing that the computer can do better than before is compositing. Bluescreen and optical printing got very good toward the end, but digital compositing now is almost flawless. But miniatures mostly still work better than digital models.
@TheNYCDestroyed Piro was NOT saying they used CG, he was saying he thinks it would be BETTER with CG -- but that for a 70's film the special effects were "a masterpiece". And there's no need to get abusive. His English is not very good, but his spelling is perfect (which is rare these days). It's possible he used a computer to translate, which is why the grammar didn't come out quite right.

@neonflash1 I knew that. I knew that they used models instead of CGI. And CGI is NOT useless if you use it properly, like in Titanic.

Martin Sheen's scene was a masterpiece.
This scene will think that it was still better, if CG is used.
CG is required also for destruction of a train.
In 70's, I think that they were special effects of a masterpiece.
6:00min-(When it saw in a movie theater, it was the scene which became it tense very much (1977).)
