Wild Wild West (1999)

Question: After the Wanderer leaves Rita at the train station, there's a quick clip of the train out in the open country. It is obvious that the train is quite a distance from the station. but in the next instant, the roof of the passenger car opens up and she falls into the chair. How does anything explain that?

Answer: As soon as the train left the station, she ran after it, jumped on and climbed onto the roof, most likely hoping to stowaway, but James heard her footsteps.

Answer: I would explain it as this being a movie that deliberately bends reality and logic. There is a fantasy element to it, and the characters actions and the plot align with that.
