Why does the TGV Train stop at the end of Mission Impossible?
At the end of Mission Impossible (1996) the TGV train goes into the tunnel and the helicopter follows. When a driver/pilot of the train sees the helicopter following them, he informs the main driver to not stop the train since the helicopter might crash into the train.
Later Ethan Hunt puts the explosive gum on the helicopter and it crashes, the train stops and the blade of the helicopter almost reaches the throat of Ethan Hunt. Why does the train stop?
Best Answer
The train conductor in the back initially sees the helicopter chasing the train and tells the conductor in the front not to stop the train.
Once the helicopter crashes and explodes, the conductor in the back must have seen that (and also felt the helicopter drag on the tracks and slow down the train), so he tells the conductor at the front to stop the train - or applies the emergency brakes himself.
