I consider "Horror Express" one of the most perfect horror films ever created. Everything about it is excellent, from the cast to the sets to the script. However, the one thing that always bothers me about this movie, and which I think definitely should have been changed:
After the alien enters the Inspector's body, the Inspector ends up with the neanderthal's arm.
The script establishes that the alien is NOT the neanderthal, the neanderthal was simply the creature's last host. So why in the hell would the transference cause the Inspector's arm to change into that of the previous host?
I'm even willing to forgive the silly plot element of the characters seeing "images" in the creature's eye fluid, but this element doesn't seem to follow the script's own logic. It doesn't fit.

Many things bother me about this movie, but it is supposed to be a B-horror movie and everything does not have to make sense in movies.
I mean
Brain straightens out because memory is erased/stolen?
Eyes going white and images in eye fluid?
The arm bit?
The glowing eyes when it's dark?
That said, this is one of my favourite movies of all time.
Enjoy it for what it is It is not reality and does not have to be!
