* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Both the 1974 and 2009 versions reflect their respective eras.
** The original rested heavily on its [[TheBigRottenApple '70s New York]] atmosphere. Many of the hostages on the train are '70s caricatures, while the city is so strapped for cash that paying a ransom of just a million dollars is a stretch for them. The idea of four men stepping onto a subway train with nobody searching their jackets and gift boxes for guns is also something that wouldn't happen after 9/11.
** Likewise, the 2009 remake incorporated both post-9/11 terrorism fears and the then-recent onset of the Great Recession into the villain's motivations. [[spoiler:Ryder was a former Wall Street tycoon convicted of fraud who hijacked the subway in order to create a panic over another terrorist attack, allowing him to make a massive amount of money via put options on certain stocks.]]

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: David Shire's score for the original movie is drop-dead funky, with sleazy horns and a memorable [[EpicRiff Epic Bassline]], but what lifts it into sheer awesomeness is that the whole thing is written according to the twelve-tone system of modernist composer Arnold Schoenberg - and yet it's still hummable. It's also a perfect piece of Batucada, a style of Brazilian Samba that sounds like a train, replacing many of the drums with more New York-like urban noises.
