Did you ever wish you could see a campy disaster movie spoof that starred drag performers? If so, good news, as 2026's Stop! That! Train! might satisfy your desires.

Tess (Ginger Minj) and DeeDee (Jujubee) work as stewardesses on a low-end train line but end up unemployed when it goes out of business. Undeterred, they infiltrate a voyage on the upscale Glamazonian Express in disguise as attendants.

This ends up as a potentially fatal decision when the Express hurtles toward a massive storm and a mix of other threats. Tess and DeeDee unexpectedly find themselves at the center of efforts to save the day and prevent catastrophe.

Unmentioned there: RuPaul plays US President Judy Gagwell. Though featured prominently in the movie's ads, RuPaul appears in what amounts to basically a long guest spot.

And the cameos don’t stop there, as Train finds a slew of moderately famous actors to play small roles. Chris Parnell, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Missi Pyle, Riki Lindholme, Joel McHale, Jerry O’Connell, Charo, Nicole Richie, Jessie Tyler Ferguson – throw a rock at the screen and you’ll find a recognizable face.

Train also brings more drag performers than you can shake a proverbial stick at. Whether or not they exist as well-known within their profession will remain unknown to me, as middle-aged straight dudes don’t tend to enjoy great knowledge of that world.

The presence of so many drag stars gives us a clear indication of the movie’s audience. RuPaul exists as famous and popular enough to not become limited to fans of that art but otherwise, the film seems oriented almost entirely at a gay male audience.

Nothing wrong with that, of course, and for those with an appetite of broad camp, Train will probably work. The rest of us probably will struggle to find much to like here, however.

I admit I never embraced ultra-camp humor, especially when it’s intentional. It’s one thing to watch “so bad they’re good” affairs but projects like Train clearly shoot for this form of comedy.

As a parody, Train throws an awful lot at the screen and it becomes awfully disjointed a lot of the time. It mixes tons of characters and concepts and it doesn’t connect them especially well.

Granted, Train doesn’t really aspire to become anything more than a wacky mix of disaster influences and genre gags. No one involved figured they were making a particularly plot-driven piece.

If the jokes worked, that would be fine, and some of them do. However, the hit:miss ratio seems low, as only a handful of laughs arrive.

That said, I certainly can find much worse attempts at genre parody. It definitely tops 2026’s Scary Movie and many others in this field.

Still, that doesn’t make Train a winner, though I do like the performances of Minj and especially Jujubee. They add some much-needed warmth to this catty affair.

Unfortunately, Train struggles to keep us occupied across its brief 90-minute running time. While not a terrible spoof, the movie doesn’t really connect the majority of the time.

Footnote: bloopers and a few brief unused snippets run during the end credits. A tag appears after the conclusion of the text as well.

Stop! That! Train! appears in an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 on this Blu-ray Disc. This turned into a pretty solid presentation.

Sharpness worked well. A few shots leaned a bit soft but most of the movie seemed accurate.

The movie lacked jaggies or moiré effects, and I also saw no edge haloes. Print flaws failed to manifest.

In terms of palette, the film opted for a mix of blue and amber. The disc replicated the colors in a positive manner.

Blacks appeared tight and dense, while low-light shots brought appealing clarity. Overall, the visuals satisfied.

In addition, the film’s DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack didn’t come with a lot of sonic ambition. Still, it provided an appropriate auditory setting for the tale at hand.

This meant a lot of general atmosphere. The movie’s more action-oriented scenes delivered a bit more punch, but this remained a largely low-key mix.

Audio quality seemed positive, with speech that remained natural and distinctive. Music offered nice range and breadth.

As noted, effects didn’t stand out as a big deal but the mix replicated them as accurate. Again, nothing here dazzled but the soundtrack suited the story.

The movie brings an audio commentary from director Adam Shankman and writers Christina Friel and Connor Wright. All three sit together for a running, screen-specific look at story/characters and the evolution of the screenplay, inspirations and influences, music, cast and performances, sets, effects and connected domains.

Though the track devolves into too much praise as it goes, it still usually works. We get a nice look at various aspects of the shoot in this mostly engaging chat.

We find two brief Featurettes. The disc includes “Director’s Vision” (2:32) and “Production Design” (2:40), across which we hear from Shankman, executive producers Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey, production designer Alessandro Marvelli, and actors RuPaul, Paul Scheer, Nicole Richie, Symone, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Joel McHale, Latrice Royale, Guy Branum, Jujubee, and Marcia Marcia Marcia.

These cover story/characters, Shankman’s work, sets and design choices. “Vision” delivers nothing more than fluff but “Production” gives us a few useful notes.

The disc opens with an ad for Hadestown: The Musical. No trailer for Train appears here.

Fans of ultra-camp may enjoy Stop! That! Train! but I suspect others will take less pleasure from it. I found a smattering of minor laughs but not much more from this disjointed affair. The Blu-ray offers good picture and audio along with supplements led by a useful commentary. I expect the target audience will like the movie but not many beyond that base.
