- Complete Monster: The unnamed alien is an Energy Being who, unfettered in its course to escape the planet, agonizingly burns out the brains of countless people on the eponymous train to gain their knowledge. The alien murders many people, innocent and otherwise, massacring the depraved Captain Kazan and all of his men and even nearly killing some children sleeping on the train. The alien cheats death by leaping from body to body to sustain itself, murdering anyone who finds out its secret and even barely regarding its loyal lackey after he lays down his life for it.
- One-Scene Wonder: Telly Savalas turns up close to the end of the film and stops the story cold with his portrayal of swaggering, vodka-swilling Tsarist Captain Kazan.
