Johnny Depp asked director Branagh to apologize to Derek Jacobi on his behalf after filming their scene together "because I had to shout at him, I don't want to shout at Derek Jacobi."
Sir Kenneth Branagh was aware of the over-extravagance of his character's mustache, but he justified it by the fact that there were fifteen quotes in the original novel mentioning the mustache.
The Fragilite cake scene, the exchange between Hercule Poirot and Edward Ratchett, was filmed over a day and a half. In addition to improvisation, the scene also required numerous bites of cake. According to Sir Kenneth Branagh, Johnny Depp "is absolutely unafraid of a world most actors live in fear of, which is eating on-screen."
Big screens with animations of moving landscapes were installed on the set to create the visual effect of a moving train. Josh Gad experienced some motion sickness during filming due to this.
The Orient Express ran over a variety of routes. The "Classic" Orient Express ran between Paris and Istanbul via Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, Budapest, and Bucharest. The train in this movie, as a station announcement makes clear, is the Simplon Orient Express, which ran via Milan, Venice, Belgrade, and Sofia.
"Hercule Poirot: [thinking as he walks through the train towards the bar car] My Dear Colonel Armstrong, finally, I can answer your letter, at least with the thoughts in my head and the feeling in my heart that somewhere you can hear me. I have now discovered the truth of the case and it is profoundly disturbing. I have seen the fracture of the human soul. So many broken lives, so much pain and anger giving way to the poison of deep grief, until one crime became many. I have always wanted to believe that man is rational and civilized. My very existence depends upon this hope, upon order and method and the little grey cells... but now perhaps I am asked... to listen instead... to my heart. [pauses] Hercule Poirot: [addressing the passengers in the bar car] Ladies and gentlemen, I have understood in this case that the scales of justice... cannot always be evenly weighed. And I must learn for once, to live with the imbalance. There are no killers here, only people who deserve a chance to heal. The police have accepted my first solution to the crime: the lone assassin who made his escape. I will leave the train here to conclude formalities. You are all free to go. May you find your peace with this... May we all. [exits train]"
"Edward Ratchett: You are a strange, peculiar man. Hercule Poirot: I am of an age where I know what I like and what I do not like. What I like, I enjoy enormously. What I dislike, I cannot abide. For instance, the temporary pleasantries before what is determined to be a business discussion. Edward Ratchett: You're fun."
