Last Train To Freo - Steve Le Marquand - Aussie Film Clip

A short clip from one of the best Aussie films ever made. Starring Steve Le Marquand and Tom Budge, and later Gigi Edgley though not in this particular clip. It's midnight, it's hot and two ex cons are travelling on the last train to Fremantle. The scene is set as these two resign themselves for what they think will be a long boring journey . Using no more that a handful of actors, this film develops into an awesome psychological drama that is brilliantly produced.

I've caught the last freo train home SO many times and I'm pretty sure it takes less than 1hr to get there...unlike this film. And the backgrounds aren't in sync to where they say they are. ehhh

Hey, janellementesana

Yeah, that's probably true but it was a low budget film unlike Holiyood with its millions of bucks, and the acting's awesome I reckon. If it was just like the real trip it would just be another boring train ride, aye! :)

The Film Crew made a mock up single car A set that was used for most of the filming. Set 38 was used for the parts where they could actually drive a train along the tracks. It was filmed very early in the morning after the last services were in. I believe a shed driver may have driven the cars.

Thanks for that Mob1006. Very interesting, I had no idea how it was filmed. It's really effective just looks like a regular car. Such a great film especially considering the very few actors and scene changes. Remains one of my all time faves. Might upload some more sometime.

I wonder how they filmed this? Must have been kind of hard on the train.

[AussieGirlNSW]

I'd never given that a thought, but yes it must have been quite challenging. Effective though...

@Jet3800 They probably would have permission from Transperth to do so beforehand.

@janellementesana at any other time it usually takes up to 30 minutes from Perth to Fremantle, that's if it stopped at all stops.

I would have thought more people catch the train at the time, freo has good pubs and all.
