@kermsroomy I look like a joke???? Your the coward that does not even have an uploaded video. I didn't know that i said such a horrible comment that warranted a person assault. And to your second remark, did I pass my G.E.D. yet? Last time I checked I am currently in high school and at the top of my class smart one. Why are people such ass holes over you tube? People always have to attack someone personally instead of having a civil argument. You ARE THE JOKE
@daveibukun Why would you pass judgment on the old one if you probably haven't seen anything more than the trailer? Sounds a little immature to me. Oh well, America's future.
What I loved about this movie is that all the actors look and sound like real New Yorkers. The remake tries too hard and comes off being too Hollywood.
This is the original and the best...Shaw, Mathau are untouchable...NO CGI and garbage..sorry Travolta and Denzel...this is the one that I watch over and over..
@TheNEWfilmfanatic99 The original is one of the greatest New York-based thrillers. :) Walter Mathau, Robert Shaw and TONS of supporting cast actors. Great one-liners. Sound mix was awesome. And this preview was awesome.
BTW the South Ferry stop was destroyed in 911. They restored it, perfectly. Too perfectly. I miss that one entrance door with the bad hinges that always stuck. :)
@TheNEWfilmfanatic99 not all remakes are bad (eg True Grit), and ok, maybe is the original taking of pelham better than the 2009 remake, but I really enojoyed the remake...
Fantastic movie, I really enjoyed watching this one - hopefully there is a sequel! Watch the movie online in great quality here: WATCHNEWMOVIES43 . c o m
mae it through 40 minutes of thi...one of the worst movies ever made... good god.. people got paid to make this? travolta is hillarious... do what i say or fucking blow your head off... meantime.. would u mind taking this personality test?? SSSSooooo bad... btw? does anyone know who can skpe clearly in a subway? Travolta is soooo bad
this movie was so fucking bad. so many useless scenes/lines its not even funny. god, when the cops were transferring the money via car it was some of the worst film making i've ever seen.
@kermsroomy LOL, HEHE. HE THINKS THIS MOVIE SUCKS SO HE MUZ BE YOUNG, please my nigga. GO GET MY EQUITIES AND TRANSLATE THE DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS AND DON'T FORGET 2 TRANSCEND THE TRANSLUCENT LIFE FORM WHILE YOUR AT IT
dont be a fucking dickhead dude. you are just a douche. if you are going to give a spoiler. give a spoiler. people read comments to hear what other people think about the movie. fuck you.
You fuckin racist go kill yourself, you just mad denzel washington and will smith is the best actors in the world. don't be a haten racist your whole life, you loser. I'm black but who really gives a shit what color you are if your a great actor I show love,my favorite actors are denzel, will smith, and Bruce willis I can name like 50 more but who cares. As for randomuser go eat a dick and stop haten bitch.
oh sure, have the white guy be the bad guy & the black guy be good. So typical Hollywood. Alwyas having the actors play agains type. I'd say just do us all a favor & have a white guy vs a white guy. Black people always ruing everything anyway.
Now, now. Just because because you're mentally challenged, doesn't mean you don't have an opinion. Keep talking RandomUsername, we're listening!(*snicker*)
Matthau and Shaw were superb in this classic film, I thought I had heard somewhere that some film or TV remake of The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three that came out some years ago was shot in some Toronto subway station LOL,
I kinda hope this upcoming remake coming out at least shoots most of the tunnel and subway scenes on location in the N.Y.C. subway just for the flavor.

Yeah, the bonehead (kalamantas3) who remarked the original as "boring" obviously is a new jack. He has no concept of how good the original is. No wonder he is getting two thumbs down on his ignorant statement. Lol
IMDB states most of the Subway footage was shot in the tunnels leading to the decommissioned IND Court St. station in Brooklyn. The station itself served as Grand Central and 28th St.
Absolutely correct, the Court Street station is now a transit museum. The station platform signs were replaced and repainted and if you look closely you can see they did the same with the number signs (wet paint) on some of the train cars as it seems they only were given a handful to work with and tried to make it seem like there were more than they actually had.
Well according to IMDB & Wikipedia the tunnel & station scenes were shot at the court st. station in Brooklyn. I searched for additional info & found that New Yorks Transit Authority initially wouldnt allow the film to be made on actual subways due to of the fear of copycat crimes. Mayor Lindsay got involved and the Authority finally gave permission but required the studio to buy anti-hijacking insurance though there were never any attempts. Nothing about technical problems though.
I watched it last night for the first time in several years. When compared to the current films with all the advances made since 1974, this movie is still incredibly well done and a fantastic story.
yeah i agree this won't match the grittiness of the 1974 film just based on technological advances from then to now but i think this should be a great film nonetheless
I agree! The original with Matthau and Shaw is excellent and real gritty in its format. The new remake is the THIRD version of this film (they did a real crappy TV movie a few years back).

exactly! they made the new one a drama when the original was well executed and it had a few funny lines.

I think the remake is gonna be really good, they have the proper director Tony Scott, and Denzel Washington, one of the best actors part of it.
