"Great Train Robbery, how's that going?" * In the 1965 [[James Bond]] film ''[[Thunderball (film)|Thunderball]]'', a [[SPECTRE]] officer states that the criminal organisation received Β£250,000 of the stolen loot as a consultation fee for the robbery. * A comedy version was staged in the 1966 film ''[[The Great St Trinian's Train Robbery]]''. * ''{{Interlanguage link|Die Gentlemen bitten zur Kasse|de}}'' (''The Gentlemen Request Payment'', also known as ''Great British Train Robbery'') aired in Germany as a three-part mini-series in 1966 and featured [[Horst Tappert]] as Reynolds. * In ''[[Robbery (1967 film)|Robbery]]'' (1967), [[Stanley Baker]] plays a character based upon Reynolds. * The 1968 film ''[[Inspector Clouseau (film)|Inspector Clouseau]]'' sent the incompetent French policeman in pursuit of Rainbow, a fictional character based on Reynolds, who appears in Gosling and Craig's 1965 book about the robbery and in McDaniel's 1967 book. * In the 1969 French comedy film ''[[The Brain (1969 film)|The Brain]]'', the Great Train Robbery was committed by a criminal mastermind nicknamed 'The Brain' ([[David Niven]]), who tries some years after to repeat the same plan to steal [[NATO]]'s millions in cash transiting from [[Paris]] to [[Brussels]].
