By the way I just want to mention that it's a damn shame Runaway Train was largely ignored when first released. It should have been a big hit.

Yeah, I guess the Cannon name, sadly did not help out, as most critics seemed to dismiss their releases as the usual pure b-movie/exploitation trash. But once in a while, they did deliver some absolute great ones, and I guess those titles ended up suffering, because of the bad reputation of the movie company.

I believe something similar were said, during the documentary, Electric Boogaloo: The Wild and Untold Stories of Cannon Pictures.
That if the film had been produced/made by another company, the film would maybe have been hailed as an 80s classic, instead of a cult film, much later on.
