Member Movie Reviews K. K. (GAMER) Reviewed on 9/25/2020... Really weird movie that starts out in Japanese and then switches to English. Lots of supporting actors with minor roles in other movies that you will recognize. A very young Steve Buscemi is in this if you like him. 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful.
Movie ReviewsThere's a fix for the subtitle problem! csk | Placitas, NM | 04/23/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "I recently got this DVD and was dismayed to find that the English subtitles were missing (as the last reviewer pointed out.) I just found a fix that may work for some people. The "Subtitles" screen lists only French and Spanish as choices. But the remote for my Toshiba 3109 player has a "Subtitles" button that can be used while the movie is playing. With "Mystery Train" this button brings up four choices: "1 Fre", "2 Spa", "3 Fre" and "4 Spa". The first two will bring up French or Spanish subtitles as expected. But choosing either "3 Fre" or "4 Spa" will cause English subtitles to appear for the Japanese portions of the film! So the disc is indeed bungled, but this workaround made it watchable for me. And yes, it's a great movie!" Memphis Blues Bomojaz | South Central PA, USA | 01/30/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) " A quirky minimalist movie by Jim Jarmusch that is well thought out and cleverly devised that will leave viewers either fascinated or cold. It takes place during a single night in Memphis, and revolves around three unconnected storylines: a Japanese couple on a "pilgrimage" to Elvis shrines, an Italian woman whose flight back to Rome has been delayed, and a trio of young sleazes who get drunk and shoot a liquor store owner. They all spend the night at a fleabag hotel (The Arcade, run by Screamin' Jay Hawkins!). Jarmusch's use of flashback, a la RASHOMON, is clever and inspired. But Jarmush also likes to use long takes of scenes in which virtually nothing happens, which can make the movie feel long and ponderous. It's still the best of his movies, though." Why can't I have something to do with Elvis Jackie Holsmen | Bothell, Washington | 09/26/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "MYSTERY TRAIN is my favorite Jim Jarmusch film, my reasons, it's one of those films you can watch over and over again, it's original and very creative. Jim Jarmusch always has interesting characters in his films. The base for this film is different people with different situations that revolve around Elvis, strange but isn't that what movies are all about, to me they are."
