there is a scene in Leone's Duck You Sucker which takes place during
the Mexican Revolution in the early 20th century where James Coburn,
who plays an irish nationalist on the run, rigs up a train with
explosives to collide head on with an oncoming train filled with
government soldiers--this maybe a pretty common occurrence in movies
of this type but it does parallel pretty well the scene where Frank
does the same in AtD

it's an interesting picture for those who haven't seen it
