The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1/11)

[tomthefunky]

I take that same train and get off where the train is hijacked at 28th street. Sometimes I wish some hijackers would take us all hostage and I wouldn't have to go to work. Ha!!

[charlieheinz57]

They don't make movies like this anymore. They don't have actors like this anymore. R.I.P. Robert Shaw, who crammed too much into his life. Alas! And Walter Mathau!!! We lost him, too.

But hail New York City. No place on earth is there like it where this story takes place. :)

[TheMrOct]

5:07 & 8:28 Lmfaooooo

funny parts

[LuLuShortieD]

robert shaw is amazing in this such a great voice too love his accent

[christalee98]

i just saw the new one and it was awesome....excited to see this one!

[maxp0wer100]

the reason the 2009 version sucked was 2 big ego actors overshadowed the storyline.

[pavelow235]

The Seventies must have been a interesting decade...

[isuriadireja91]

one of the best, but extremely UNDERRATED, films of the 70s. period. the remakes are just no way in comparison to the original.

everything's just perfect with this movie. the humor, the tension, the pacing, the acting...EVERYTHING.

[KubebaOfficial]

The full movie is in my channel~~~!!!!

[yacobzuriaw]

Wow. Even in the 70s Water Matthau was a grupmy old man

[tss77]

This is the one and only Pelham One Two Three period forget the rest.

[MrCarl220]

@tss77 Remakes NEVER can touch the original..well, maybe 'Cape Fear', but that's it!

[osprey305]

I saw this a few days ago. AWESOME. FUCKING. MOVIE.

[mrcoolfreshnig]

This was the greatest 1974 film I've ever seen xD I will stay focus on this first film as I didn't see the 2009 remake film yet. Even though I didn't see the new 2009 one, I'd been hearing rumors that the 2009 film is suckish. I wonder if anybody can give some explanations? Well I can't know if the 2009 film sucks as I didn't watch it yet. I might watch it sooner or later, not sure yet thought.

[datrooth007]

@florida0631 you must be crazy. the new one is better.

[Hallinilla9]

@datrooth007 You're dumb as shit.

[datrooth007]

@Hallinilla9 lol thank you. likewise. take care.

[rs101156]

Solord....its one of my all-time favorites. Hell, I even love the soundtrack!

[wa2k99]

At Grand Central, it's Wilson!!! Hi-de-ho good hijacker!

[Abitibbi]

If only online chat websites were like this movie...

[space218man]

yea sure they leave the old version on here

[ScandinavianDawn]

really liked this one. i also think it s better than the remake

[datrooth007]

@ScandinavianDawn you must be crazy. the new one is better.

[32luster]

i just watch de javu so confusing

[tom6612]

The 1970's was a great time for movies before asshole directors like John Hughs started cranking out that junk in the 1980's. Those vacant flicks about junior yuppie scum in designer clothes and turned up collars fixated on money and cars. Airhead flicks for airhead times.

Thank God for Lynch. If he hadn't come along the whole decade would have been a waste.

[takumilovesl]

7:39からの、イントロが、笑えた。(笑)

[antblue363]

I just watched the version with Travolta in 5.1 dolby digital surround and enjoyed the movie!

[VvicsieE78]

Wow finally I found the original Pelham 123 movie, and it was right in front of my nose on YT. When looking for it on the net I only found thousands of entries for the bs remake of 2009.

Dont you just hate them remakes...whats next, Alfred Hitchcock´s The Birds in 3D?

Either Hollywood isn´t anymore what it used to be or I am just getting old :D

[cpufightclub]

This is how you making a fucking movie. Bravo.

[ActionRaccoon]

The lesson of tis movie is that all good train hijackers have a moostache , even the new version lived up to that.

[rampantandroid]

I clicked this thinking it was the remake, and was pretty much going to go to the comment section and praise the original. But hey, look which one it is! Awesome movie!

This is an all star cast. The remake from a few years ago..well, Travolta...can't act.

[strandwolf]

@rampantandroid Yeah but he was fun in Pulp Fiction, right?

[ethan55lb]

Ima Shoot your Pee pee off

[liltd87]

@ethan55lb lmfao

[siberiabear]

What class of subway train is the pelham, an R-17?

[runawayfreak]

@siberiabear I think R-22

[MrElasticFantastic]

0:00

[bigworld3001]

Great tension and foreboding in this score!!!

[EvilAshPursuivant]

wasn't this version considered one of the greatest films of all time?

[longlivecrow]

i took a dump on a subway once

[jammer96]

I would rather see this one than the new one for sure!

[superkryp13]

Walter Mathau is so funny. What a genius he was. 

[mpsicily]

Great fucking movie, maybe the one who clicked "dislike" was on a real NY Subway that actually did get hijacked....

[Kelly14UK]

@mpsicily Nah, they were on a subway that DIDN'T get done over and they were real PISSED they didn't have their moment...

[capricious71]

Which transit cop clicked dislike? Or was it the mayor?

[capricious71]

The best heist film ever made.

[432F01]

That bit about "ain't you never seen the sun set" - classic.

[MasterJediKyleKatarn]

The original is almost always better than any remake.

[MightyStreetFighter]

@MasterJediKyleKatarn ...The Thing, Scarface, The Maltese Falcon, The Wizard of Oz, The Departed

[Trudeau790]

David Shire did the theme. . . Nicely done.

[BMWDucatiPhil]

If any one is interested...you can buy the entire sound track from the original movie from iTunes!!!!

[Kelly14UK]

@BMWDucatiPhil Only fault with this intro is that it's so damned short. It's one of the best things ever done for the cinema. Found out on Wiki that there was a teledrama on it with Karen from Goodfellas in it.

[smoothpants]

@Kelly14UK - Yeah. Her and her BF at the time Edward James Olmos.

It was worse than the Denzel-Travolta remake.

[Kelly14UK]

@smoothpants Lol!

[flyerspa67]

Another 70's Classic..

[Kelly14UK]

I'm just wondering if this brilliant tune can be replicated with an electric guitar, bass and keyboards?

[tine214]

@Kelly14UK less dramatic if you can replicate it

[Kelly14UK]

@tine214 Get your point. Some things are best left alone.

[1984chana]

Thanks a lot for putting this up, I dont have tv right now, for me this is wonderful, THANKS

[SuperNicobellic4]

classic 70's and will be watched 4-life!

[AraujoLima92]

Yo my school is in this movie St. John's prep :)

[drumtum]

When Walter Matthau is in a movie you can be sure that it is great. No matter if it is a comedy or a copthriller.

[MichaelBlue1990]

cool you can see classics on youtube!

[smoothpants]

Going to see this tonight on the big screen at Film Fourm. SO EXCITED!!!

[algonquinrider8933]

good movie

[batutse]

aaah liquid you're the best there is. thanx (-:

[TheBeatfinder]

Hey thanks a million fpr putting this up man. Just watched all the movie (13 parts) courtesy of yourself. Great movie. And what a score from David Shire!

[KiloByte69]

Easily one of the best into soundtracks of all time. I love the beat.

[UncleFeedle]

I sometimes think that the 70's may have been the last great era in cinema. You only have to look at a fantastic, solid thriller like this to see how far things have plummeted. Here we see seasoned actors, strong characters, skilful cinematography, real-world practical effects and a superior, original script that brings it all together. Today we get badly-done remakes and reboots, overpaid celebrity actors, cardboard characters and overreliance on CGI. This was an example of REAL filmmaking.

[exsquilax]

wasn't the intro theme used for a bacardi commercial?

[KiloByte69]

@exsquilax

I duno but its an excellent piece eh?

[gabrielpassarella]

this is one of my favorate movies !!! thank you !!!!

[FlaviusConstantius]

Much better than the remake.

[KiloByte69]

@FlaviusConstantius

What a surprise huh? LOL!

[432F01]

I've seen the sunset befo' and it don't look nothing like dat!

[dockie1971]

Best film ever? Possibly. Best *written* film? Almost certainly. GENIUS!

[clashrogers]

@dockie1971 Damn right, it follows the book it's based on very closely.

[Kooshmeister3]

I love how Mr. Blue is introduced, just slowly tapping his feet side to side, completely patient, very relaxed, smiling in bemusement at what that guy says.

[shysterlicious]

I LOVE 1970's movies that feature New York! On behalf of those of us who enjoy this film, thanks for posting it:0)

[DenGual10]

how many times would you say he says mother fucker in this movie

[Michaelbos]

Great movie. This is better then the remake

[ph4nt0mf1ng3rs]

I have to admit on this one then the remake, this one doesn't have that much cuss words as the newest one

[kmothersil]

Why are they remaking such good movies anyway? Robert Shaw and Walter Matthau are very talented actors and most likely the best in history. Even though they made a remake they will never replace both Shaw and Matthau. They also will never replace those old subway cars.

[ClompsyKid]

Thanks, I appreciate the fact you've uploaded these.

By the way, what was the name of the film that came out in 2009 or 2010 about the bank robbery that went wrong?

[jkarp1]

@ClompsyKid bank job ? might be the one you are thinking about

[cholulasaucehot]

good film.....resevoir dogs inspiration

[kaoboi8]

I'll shoot your PP off

[Flatbedkw]

@kaoboi8 LOL. That line is classic.

[christian1944]

i love this film

[MalReynolds02]

This is so MUCH BETTER than the Remake. Thanks for uploading this. ;o)

[solord]

Sorry, Denzel.

Sorry, John.

YOU JUST CAN'T TOP THE ORIGINAL!!

I FUCKING LOVE THIS FILM!!

FYI, Everyone: About three years ago The N.Y. Daily News took a poll among its readers voting for the best film about New York City ever made . . . . . . You're watching the winner!

[nerdflanders8710]

@solord yeah saw it last night. walter mathau is really great

[wilsondylanmccartney]

Thank you so much for posting LiquidSolid :)

[TheNewFactory]

If you live or are visiting New York City, pay a visit to The New York City Transit Museum in Brooklyn. A great deal of this movie was filmed there including the 28th Street Station and Grand Central Station scenes.

[HFsX]

I was there in September. They have one of each of the old retired cars, including the style of car used in this movie.

[beehivereunion]

THE ORIGINAL IS THE BEST!

[tonijn1969]

This the orginal from 1974

[beehivereunion]

tonijn1969 , of course i know is the original one....so I write again that this original one is the best then the 2 remake the TV remake Verision in 90's and the Joh Travolta Version..... At least in the Travolta version the changed a little be the characters and the story, but the TV Version the story is very close to the 70's original one!

[cholulasaucehot]

this movie was the inspiration for.....RESEVOIR DOGS

while a great flick......

resevoir dogs kicks this in the ass!!

[davesgcr]

Next stop 51st street ...how did i do ? Classic  stuff !!!!

[MuzixMon2]

i'll shoot ur pp off! CLASSIC!!! That line alone is better than the new remake all together!

[jahotgal01]

The remake was better. The acting was great in the new one but I enjoyed this one as well.

[herautdeDieu]

hey guys do you know other gud movie as this one!!!!

[TheNewFactory]

If you're looking for 1970's cop movies set in New York City take a look at "The French Connection" and "The Seven Ups." Both have great casts and incredible car chase sequences.

[solord]

Bill Hickman was behind the wheel and help coordinate those two legendary car chase scenes!

And who was also behind the wheel of possibly the greatest chase scene of them all "Bullitt?"

Yep, Bill Hickman.

[connaught2008]

the sting

[j43ms]

this will be the version with actors in it then?

[XanceMRevola]

"What's wrong, dude? You ain't never seen a sunset before?"

One of my favorite lines by a nameless character.

[xsoul13]

What does that line mean anyway?

[XanceMRevola]

I'm assuming it's a black joke.

[kmothersil]

The only remake that was good to a point where it made a huge profit was Scarface and that may have been the best remake made. I don't know what the hell people are remaking these classics for. What would really scare me is if they remade the Godfather.

[RedOne1121]

Their remaking the movie RED DAWN now there is a crappy movie for you

[MintySpunkBubble]

Robert Shaw, Walter Matthau and a brilliant soundtrack. Three reasons why they shouldn't have bothered with a remake.

[oliverbayley1]

They should be remaking the crap movies..!

[tine214]

@MintySpunkBubble jesus christ glad I did not see the remake. what the fuck were these hollywood cretins trying to do?

[CERNOBE]

@MintySpunkBubble Fuck off, the remake was fine.

[Glinkaism1]

@MintySpunkBubble You noticed the mix, too! Processing & EQ was awesome! I gotta see who mixed it. Dang, wished I'd kept my spectrum analyzer. It is really hard to keep voice intelligibility with all sfx. Nowadays, that would all lost.

Should have left sound all MONO but hire a danged good sound mixer.

[contrafib]

@MintySpunkBubble Absolutely. Shaw in particular was a great character actor though ravaged by drink and preferred to be a writer. However, his Bond villain was the best and he was also great in 'The Guest', 'Jaws' and 'The Sting' among others. Haven't seen the remake and can't see any need for it. I know Travolta decided to make his character shout a lot whereas Shaw was slow, calm controlled menace.

[mermaidofsuburbia]

@MintySpunkBubble  They shouldn't bother with ANY remake. I can't think of one remake better than the original. But Hollyweird, they're so unoriginal and lazy, they even make sitcoms into movies. Ridiculous.

[tassoss1]

I swear I will not see the Remake,cause of the Remake Bluesbrothers 2

The only remake I will ever see will be Christine 2 and olny if they not crash Original Fury`s

[TwinkleSpaceGirl]

WHY oh why do they have to remake such great films? boggles me man..

[JOLovegrove]

Studied this in Media! What a movie!!

[StukInBuf]

"Have you never seen a sunset before?"

Funny.

[stuart38]

would somebody PLEASE upload robert shaw's brilliant film "diamonds"?its a great old-school thriller about a cat burglar who decides to break into a bank who's security system was designed by his twin brother,who he hates-to teach him a lesson.you would all love it.

[payless1981]

The new version is not as good as the original.

[tine214]

remakes will never hold a candle to the original

[Conneisseur2]

i agree all remakes except one....the 1991 version of cape fear

[d4seasons]

@payless1981 i agree. 1974 was a great year. i wish someone would upload Pelham 123 part II. i've never seen it.

[AP09DH]

@d4seasons go to w w w (dot) movies - links (dot) tv . search for The taking of Pelham 123

Replace (dot) with .

[djembefola3]

@payless1981 Amen to that they just dont make like this anymore once in a while you'll get a good movie today whith some real sustance but most of em ...just glossed over CGI superficial flicks

[KiloByte69]

@djembefola3

Because a high percentage of people who go to see movies are douche bags. The kind of morons who go to see Titanic 6 rimes but won't go to see a masterpiece like Glengarry Glen Ross even though it had an all star cast. I hate these people, all they want to see is the same cookie cutter romance and cheesy action scenes, FUCK THEM!

[mobboss1944]

@KiloByte69 You have very good taste in movies

[mermaidofsuburbia]

@KiloByte69 Damn, tell us how you really feel.

[cpufightclub]

@KiloByte69 well, kate winslett was pretty hot. at the time anyway

[kd8bud]

@KiloByte69 Glengarry Glen Ross....Now thats another excellent movie!

[KDCboo]

@payless1981

I agree. The original had a stronger cat 'n mouse element between Matthau and Shaw that D. Washington & Travolta couldn't capture.

[Trudeau790]

@payless1981 Agreed. They'd be hard pressed to put together a cast to compete with Walter Matthau, Martin Balsam & Robert Shaw.

[tine214]

@Trudeau790 Yet again, these cretins remade it, because a majority of the cast were NYC-based actors from a different generation, this film, is too unique. Glad I saved my money not to see the remake..Denzel, Travolta etc. picked up a check...lol

[SIngli6]

@payless1981

That is a gross understatement!

[systematic91]

thnx

[StankiiRiders]

cmonn i want the newer version....lol

[TubeBarth]
