Several actors from the original movie (Európa expressz (1999)) reprised their roles: Tibor Szilágyi, László ifj. Jászai and 'András Gáspár'. Kata Dobó went to the US in 1999 so she had to be replaced by Barbara Xantus. András Stohl was the star of another TV channel, so he was replaced by Péter Bozsó.
