Line 10: Not to be confused with dancing to [[Michael Jackson]]'s ''Thriller'' on a train. ---- {{examples~~\|Examples:~~ }} == Anime & Manga == * ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)\|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' anime episode "The Man with the Mechanical Arm" had a terrorist attack inside a train. ** The episode itself was based on an early chapter of the manga; the ''Brotherhood'' anime left it out due to its lack of long-term importance. * ''[[Baccano!]]'''s "Pussyfoot Express" plotline. Line 67: * ''[[The Last Express]]''. The Pre- World War 1 Orient Express setting gives it a very Christie feel and then it actually tries to use some of the same setting advantages that you might get in other media using this trope by having the game take place in real time. * Chapter 6 of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' is a [[Breather Level]] that largely takes place on the luxuriant Excess Express. You get roped into solving a mystery that follows this formula during the three-day trip, and is almost totally devoid of actual fighting until the [[Traintop Battle\|Traintop Boss Battle]] on the last day. * The Ecliptic Express in ''[[Resident Evil 0Zero]]''. Line 73: * The ''[[Ruby Gloom]]'' 2-parter "Last Train to Gloomsville" parodies just about every train-thriller cliche to the max. * The [[Looney Tunes]] short ''Boston Quackie'' takes place on board 'Le Cloak and Dagger Express'. * The ''[[King of the Hill]]'' episode "Strangeness on a Train" has Peggy set up her birthday party on a disco-themed murder mystery play on a train. When her streak of unlucky birthdays leads to the mystery getting spoiled,<ref>Mostly due to Dale being a [[Jerkass]]</ref>, Hank tries to cheer her up, which leads to their having sex in the bathroom. Kahn discovers the "evidence" and starts a new mystery to try and figure out who it was, as Hank and Peggy desperately try to prevent it. * ''[[Danger Mouse]] On The Orient Express'' takes place on said train, where DM and Penfold must retrieve a document that would allow Baron Greenback to raze all of Europe's tourist attractions and lure tourists to his (''shudder!'') museum of Barry Manilow record sleeves. * The [[Bugs Bunny]] cartoon ''Wild And Wooly Hare'' climaxes with Sam and Bugs playing chicken with trains.
