Bullet Train Soundtrack: Every Song Featured in the movie – With a gross turnover of over $30 million domestically, David Leitch’s Bullet Train is the number uno movie in the world right now. Starring the likes of Brad Pitt, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, Sandra Bullock, Bad Bunny, Logan Lerman & Zazie Beetz, the action extravaganza is set entirely on a train.
Based on the Japanese novel “Maria Beetle” by Kotaro Isaka and the Sony Pictures-produced actioner made a strong debut at the global box office too, raking in a whopping $60 million in its first weekend alone.
Following Ladybug (Brad Pitt), a well-known assassin returning to do a job, the journey from Tokyo to Kyoto, onboard a bullet train feels like a swift move, but Leitch’s movie is populated by a host of villains who cross each other’s paths – quite literally.

While it is mostly aimed at Western sensibilities, the diverse cast that also includes some notable Japanese actors has made sure that the movie understands its Japanese cultural roots. When it comes to the Soundtrack of Bullet Train, filmmaker David Leitch brings a delicious new twist to the tracklist. The movie doesn’t just feature classic American music but also includes Japanese covers of Bee Gees Stayin’ Alive and Bonnie Tyler’s Holding out for a Hero.
