How RRR's Moving Train Stunt Was Shot | Movies Insider | Insider

- Action scenes set on moving trains happen over and over again throughout movie history, but they're rarely filmed on actual moving trains. When they are, they have to be meticulously planned, from the train derailment in "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962) to James Bond's fight on top of a real moving train in "Skyfall" (2012). There are a variety of techniques to simulate thrilling train action. For a deadly train explosion in "RRR" (2022), Surpreeze used a scale model of a train that could be pulled across a bridge and blown up. For another shot, the VFX studio was able to launch a full-size train car safely into the water by mounting it to a flipper. Scenes that take place inside or on the exterior of a moving train will have to create constant motion. The continuous forward movement and turbulence you see on the train in "Snowpiercer" (2014) and on the subway fight in "Spider-Man 2" (2004) were done by putting train cars on top of motion platforms. When Tom Cruise climbs on top of a high-speed train in "Mission: Impossible" (1996), the crew utilized a wind machine blowing 140 mph winds at him. Train movement can also be created without any real movement. In "Bullet Train" (2022), Brad Pitt and Aaron Taylor-Johnson were frequently on a static soundstage set. With drone footage of the passing Japanese countryside on LED screens outside the train's windows, the looping images and passing lights made the moving-train illusion feel completely real.

Thanks for featuring our work on RRR.
A really important point made right at the end. VFX wont make SFX obsolete. They compliment eachother if used correctly.
Thank you Insider! Really love the movies insider behind the scenes videos!
Oscar winning Telugu-language Indian movie .... Awesome VFX
@@indian7885 it is also an Oscar and RRR won that oscar and RRR itself is a movie.
@@karthikajay3091 foolish don't watch regional news..watch international news
The song won Oscar
@@indian7885fool the song is a part of movie
@@kingstersubham256 people are saying oscar winning movie
Bro flying bikes, car movie does not win oscar
@@indian7885 go check out variety interviewer saying it oscar winning feature film.
Great work by Mr. Srinivas Mohan who was in charge of VFX for RRR
And also to the man, the legend S S Rajamouli for his epic vision & scale.
I love this kind of stuff! The combination of miniatures, CGI and actual footage put together is so cool.
This movie is good because it is not a bollywood movie. This is an Indian movie from highly capable and disciplined Tollywood located in the south of India.
Take a bow to "SS Rajamouli"

Thank you for the update, Insider..!! Amazing VFX and the real stunt jobs.
Unstoppable Derailed a real train which was insane. The BTS on that film is crazy
Worth noting that Skyfall didn't use a real train for the tube-crash, it's a custom-made "shell" suspended from above (as seen in the video)
I'd often wondered how they did that shot. I envisioned all sorts of (complex) scenarios about how it could be achieved in safe, predictable manner... not once did it occur to me just suspend it from a track hidden above the ceiling, have tiny little breakaway parts for the ceiling as the suspension arms pass through it, paint out the suspension arms in post.
i love those movie insiders, its cool to see how magic all of that is
Spiderman was ahead of its time
Proud moment for TFI
RRR had several such great set pieces which will definitely be a study for film students in the future. 🙌
Nothing really to say, but I enjoyed this video. Thanks for making and sharing it.
Damn insider posting vfx breakdown of RRR on it's main channel
Guys I really want other Indian films from different states to be featured on it, then only our Indian cinema will grow❤together
Wow thank you
Beautiful scenes and good movies
I love you guys!! ❤
Mind blowing 😊❤
For a film that apparently put a lot of work into making that train crash look accurate, RRR messed up a bit by putting GATX onto the tank car, which you can see at 2:00. That’s a railroad reporting mark for the General American Transportation Company, an American tank car leasing company. The car also appears to have American trucks (aka bogies). For a film set in India and focused heavily on Indian nationalism, they did a pretty bad job of making an Indian train.
That's most likely the case cause the Miniatures were made in West Virginia, by a Special Effects Company there. And it's such a tiny specific detail than almost no one would even know to look for.
90% of all train crashes in the film industry have something wrong going on.
Also, the wheelsets are not bolted on the bogie frame of most tank cars. So if the car derails, the wheels usually come off too.
Appreciate persons creating waves in the water at background 😂😂
Thanks..
🍃🧡🍃
the red arrow in the thumbnail is sooo 2019 XD
Interesting, but, I was more curious how they did the swinging - flag - fire - handshake bit.
Great Graffick 👍 & making
Thanks
Cool
John Frankenheimer _The Train_ (1964) some of the best practical train effects in cinema, ever poke around here on YT for the Allied bombing raid or the Spitfire strafing scene to start with
RRR FANTASTIC MOVIE
I'm disappointed that 'using real trains' was mentioned, yet this video neglected to mention _The Fugitive._
This was nice but it felt more like a RRR promotional material rather than a "How it's done" video
Telugu Film 🔥🔥🔥
Say Indian filim
@@zukakiarimota455 Accept it's a Telugu film First
@@definitelynotamurderer602 No We should say Indian filim why you south Indians consider yourself from another country
@@zukakiarimota455 why u North Indians suddenly act like Indians now....did u ever respect south Indian films
@@definitelynotamurderer602
I still call rrr as regional
Film ...
Becoz actors are ugly 😥
Overproud regional people 🤣
Best movie ever
This video should've talked about Michelle Yeoh riding a motorcycle onto a ramp to jump onto a real moving train in the movie Supercop.
Why
1:14 what movie is that from?
Very dangerous movie
In real life, that exploding tank car flying sideways off of the bridge would've taken most of the cars before and after it off of the bridge with it, demolished (at least) that section of the bridge, and seriously injured - if not killed - the kid as it all came tumbling down on top of him and trapped him underneath a mountain of steel and other rubble. And the director goes so far as to call it "close to" a real train accident 🙄
As much as I like real stunts, sometimes they are misled.. like in F9 I was pissed.. there they used a mobile huge magnet attached to a car, to pull a car through concrete from a parallel road 10 meters apart.. even the strongest magnet on earth won't pull that off, and it is not at all mobile (watch veritasium's video), it literally consumes like 20000 kw power.. they did the scene with pistons rails etc and did it in 9 months..
Also there was a scene where 2 muscle cars grabbed the front of a 3 section armored truck from the sides and applied brakes.. apparently it and the slight slope of the road was enough to topple the 30 -50 ft truck .. like seriously??
What good is that to pull of stunts realistically if the event is not even realistic ??
This is why I love Tom cruise and Nolan ... They get the details ...
The point of using miniatures is that you automatically get some aspects of realism. Placing actual explosives on the miniature tank car could have delivered a realistic looking shot, yanking it with a rope did not. The result is just not believable from a physics standpoint given the enormous rotational inertia of a tank car.
@@soumyadityaagarwalla1517 If you expexted the F9 stunts to be realistic then that 's on you really
Insider’s secret. The dancers were blowing up with joy. It wasn’t a train.
Indians, Especially South Indians are Extremely proud of this
You know what I was kind of expecting the worst time a movie did this which was the titfield thunderbolts train crash
That tank car would have lost its trucks (the wheelsets) as soon as it rolled off the bridge as RR cars just sit on them with gravity. They're not actually connected other than the brake lines, which rip out when a derailment causes them to separate.
Why didn't the trucks (bogies) fall away from the tank car? The only thing that keeps them in place is the car's weight resting on them.
I wish there were more high production movies used the real thing
❤❤❤❤
RRR❤❤❤
SS Rajamouli supremacy ❤
came here to see crashing trains.
i was not disappointed🙏
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Interesting to see how these were filmed I was afraid this would be about how they were they conceived, which was actually pretty easy, just ignore physics and reality 😂
What about the fugitive 1993
Great mention. They used both a full size train and a 1/8 scale miniature.
Of course, a railfan mentions a train scene from another movie
@@tristanexists1806Yeah, because they used a real thing
Proud to be south Indian
Some people have such a passion for seeing trains crash for some reason.
Anyway, my favorite of all time is the one from Under Siege 2. Even though still fake due to the flying locomotives, still impressive in its own right and was the last made with actual models before the crappy cgi took over the film industry.
at least any Indian movie got featuring on this Channel 🐭
Its common for Telugu cinema
@@bitik9847 another guy refusing to identify as Indian but as telegu
@@aakarshverma5793 another guy crying over the fact it is a Telugu film First
@@definitelynotamurderer602 no one's crying kid, seems like truth is hurting your petty arse
@@definitelynotamurderer602 it's Indian first then Telugu if you gotta go with sequence
For any aspiring filmmakers like myself who see this comment, please, follow my example, use miniature effects and full-scale practical effects wherever in your films you can, and only use CG where you ABSOLUTLY have to.
I thought Srinivas Mohan is the vfx supervisor of RRR 👀
Indeed he is. Srinivas Mohan is the head Visual Effects Supervisor for the whole film. Daniel is the VFX Supervisor at Surpreeze. We made the VFX for the train and festival sequences, as well as the miniature train cars.
@@Surpreezevfx Cool VFX!!
Yes he is....
Take a bow to Rajamouli team
When was aluminium not a metal?? 🤔
why you didn't include Gta V Train crash scene 😂 best train collapse in history 😁
7:16 ,there is a probleme in this extract,where is the catenary.This was a string put for transmiting electricity to the train (in france its in 25000V).So there is no way that an helicoptere could do this
Unbelievable u showed all damn trains except Keanu's Speed movie train!!! what were you high on something 😂😂😂that
I don't even like this movie but the amount of craft and skills required while astonishing also is legendary for an Indian Movie
Did I see a person in that silent film train
Probably (hopefully) a dressed up mannequin or scarecrow
Buster Keaton
Probe to the kid
All that work, and they could not even get a accurate model of a train. At least Mission Impossible made there replica locomotive accurate to the real thing.
and completely went wrong with the chunnel layout... That movie is so bad in so many ways it put me of the franchise completely.
@@weerwolfproductions which movie are you talking about?
@@aasamspb967 Mission Impossible. I watched the original series in reruns and the first movie basically betrayed the whole premisse of the series. As well as the arrogant 'we're from the USA, we can build a Chunnel replica without ever researching what it actually looks like'.
@@weerwolfproductions ok
🥵

Man, I really miss when the effects were all practical. CGI is so obviously fake looking.
Talking and talking... and still the crash from RRR looks like a toy. Did noone think about the thickness of the tankwalls? They are surely less solid as the I-Beams of the bridge. Sorry.
The crash definitely looks like a toy.
Indian cheap production 😅😅 500 crore budget and 400 crore "heroes salary" 😅
Aata kharidle pehle

@Banda Jeevan Reddy yes this is true..I would Tell you that rrr is a regional film with ugly actor
If u need see beutifull Indian actor watch bolywood
@@indian7885 then it could be the worst decision. Bollywood aka north Indian regional movies cheating and myths are over.
World got to know the real talent of India that is south...
