How could you not include The Taking of Pelham 123? The entire movie is based on a subway robbery! "New York City Subway Films Of The 1970s"....Pelham 123 is arguably THE "Subway Movie".
I would've done the same thing as Paul Kersey, but I would probably have used bear mace instead of a gun. Or maybe I'd wear razor-sharp baseball cleats and kick him in the face?
Graffiti filled trains, checker taxis, prostitutes, pimps, junkies, thieves, artists, bums, heroin, punk, cbgb, disco, studio 54, cocaine, peep shows and more and more...good old days
yea dam2630 is right. Pelham and The French Connection. Too bad I was in 1987. I love watching movies from the 70s or hell even from the 60s, 50s, 40s, 30s but I love the 70s. Movies, music everything about the 70s I love.

@0ut0fdiz Yeah, people tend to remember the past with very selective rose-colored glasses. They conveniently filter out all the bad shit, and focus on the few good times they had during the era.
I can guarantee that during the 70's there were many people looking back to the "good ol' days" of the 50's. I guess the golden age is never the present age.
This also coming from a native new yorker, new york city is the best city ever and these were definitly the good old days. Thanks again for the upload
@8bobthebuilder I've lived in NYC all my life. The difference between how NYC is now and how it used to be is that NYC back then, was more of an ADULT scenary. For example, Time Square used to be an adult playground. Now a days, Times Square and most of Manhattan is full of snobby college yuppies. As far as the subways,the videos pretty much explain it all. Now a days, the MTA is creating ugly ass computer trains. I prefer the trains u see in this video. They represented NYC in a big way.
@8bobthebuilder When u ask me if i think NYC is better or worse, that all depends. Personally, i liked NYC back then because it was rougher, more adult and of course, I missed the old skool, graffiti filled trains. NYC now a days is full of college, snotty yuppies and thanks to our old mayor (Rudi Gulliani) he turned this city into Walt Disney World and a tourest spot. If it was up to me, i would defitnitley make NYC to how it used to be in the 70s and 80s. Those were the days my friend!
The Warriors was the shit!!!! And so were the rest of the movies filmed in the subways of the BEST CITY in the World! New York for New Yorkers,baby!!!
This is a primo example how the 2nd Amendment can save your life. 2nd Amendment infringement does nothing but get people killed. The Constitutional right to bear arms clearly states that it SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED but it is in fact infringed time and time again by the liberal cabal that run this country and insist on utopian ideas that have been proven time and time again to fail in that past., and as a result law abiding citizens are murdered everyday by scumbags.
Kong's all "ARRRGH! Hate it when I miss the last train!" Love how the cop thoughtfully abandons his bike so Jessica Lange & the guy can grab it.
And you definitely have to wonder if Bernard Goetz saw Death Wish. It is basically the same scenario, only 2 instead of 4 guys. WTH was that cop doing walking away from those 2 sketchy guys? He could see they were probably going to pull something.
Love Tony Manero having an epiphany in a crappy jacked up, spray-painted subway car.
I remember how the movie Death Wish was suposed to be a sad commentary on City life, but we in Brooklyn at the time, felt that his viglanteism was heroism. It was a rough time to grow up, but glad I did, I wouldnt trade what we learned for anything.
yeah but that was back then, when the nyc police had no jurisdiction in the subways and the transit police was very understaffed. Back then our city ws bankrupt and the federal government failed to bail us out. you were crazy if you travelled alone at night in the 70s or you were looking for trouble.
If you went to look at the post you left 3 months ago you'd see that you said and quote......"ahh 70s movies were the best. full of action, cool scenary music and best of all, the old subways, i miss these subway cars with a passion. can anyone tell me the name of the movie in the 1st scenary so i can watch the full version?? "
"The French Connection Car" R17 6609 is in the Transit Museum,and is used on fan trips.I also think the R42's from the same movie were saved from being scrapped.
Don't forget the "French Connection" this was the trendsetter for subway/elevated action films in NYC (The speeding "B" el train over New Utrecht Ave, Bklyn).
ahh 70s movies were the best. full of action, cool scenary music and best of all, the old subways, i miss these subway cars with a passion. can anyone tell me the name of the movie in the 1st scenary so i can watch the full version??
ha good for him tho. for real, if you are going to rob people with weapons expect others have weapons. its common sense. sadly if he had killed those kids and bounced, he prob. never would have gotten caught. he was nice, only wounded them and i think hes still in jail. since the 80's damn!
someone killed my friend at a hotel party with knife and he was out in 7 years. (no joke) that guy's been in there since the 80's for NOT killing the people who robbed him.
@voidenter ....he got off with a small gun charge... i think he only did a few months and he got major protection when he was in jail...basically he was a hero and to convict him of anything more than a unregistered firearm would have caused a riot...
@7855waldo Never again? why? was it that bad in new york in the 70s lol. No wonder bands were going around with names like "Suicide". Some say it's heading in that direction again tho, what do you think of that?
@7855waldo nothing like graffiti all over the trains. twas the best. who the hell wants a clean looking train? it s the subway in new york for cryin out loud
Right on! "The Taking Of Pelham 1-2-3" WAS the ultimate '70s subway film! The NYCTA almost didn't allow UA to film the movie in the New York City Subway due to their fear of some nut job getting the idea from the movie to hijack a train in the system in real life. Sensible heads within the NYCTA eventually prevailed, albeit with the Authority charging UA $275,000 in what they dubbed "anti-hijacking" insurance, plus $75,000 for the rental of the four R-22 subway cars seen in the film.
75,000$ aint that bad i think thats what i paid last year just to ride the subway.... its a wrap fuck nyc. you want that old ny dirt ya gotta go to philly now trust me ive been everywhere.
so i guess they had a good reason to not want people to know that 3 or 4 people actually pulled that off. hahaha ya know they dont wanna look bad. big brother is in control and its for your "good and safety"
look at scenary 0:59 and 1:02 when each dude shoves a newspaper in the dude's face. now a days they wouldnt be alive if they pulled something like that on a nyc subway. they'd be tossed off the train with the quickness.
How so? Do you mean there is more security on NYC subways now? Because if simply mean the people having papers shoved in their faces would throw them of the train themselves then that could just as likely have happened back then too--if not more likely. What do you mean?
what i mean is that we're living in a more dangerous world. as u can clearly see in this video, they had guns back then but getting shot wasnt a huge issue in the 70s. worse thing that could happen to u is that ur teeth get knocked out. now a days u get gun in ur brain just for looking at someone in a funny way. security also has someone to do with what im talking about but like i said, u cant get away with shoving a news paper in ppls faces now a days and not expect revenge to look for u later
I disagree; I think the idea that we're living in "a more dangerous world" is all just hype and empty rhetoric uttered by politicians or other interested parties who find it somehow expedient to do so. I think it is actually the opposite: crime has decreased per capita since the 70s, a time when crime was increasing. I can agree that there is more irrational behaviour exibited by people now, which could lead to stupid and unneccesary consequences like being shot.
@mooneepondskid there are factors other than crime that have caused the inflation in incarceration rates. For one, the last 30 years have seen a tough against crime stance in both major political parties, and certain smaller crimes like petty robbery and selling/possession of small amts of weed were treated more harshly and lot of people were thrown in jail for minor crimes. During the 90s, when major crimes decreasing, you saw the biggest upspike of incarceration rates.
@mooneepondskid - Bloomberg’s surrounded himself w/ contemptible yes-men & he’s becoming his own worst enemy.
He got the $ end of it down perfectly (w/ the help of some timely luck).
But his failings as a human being – which he never seems to be concerned about, otherwise, he would have developed humility - now threaten to undo all of the good that he’s done.
So, yes, anything is possible, because you can’t buy competence.
btw, if getting shot wasn't a huge issue, then wouldn't that mean that it was a more dangerous and scarier time then...if no one made an issue out of it. What do you mean? Anyway, I think the farther back in history, the more violent, bloody, and dangerous it gets. We comparably live in peaceful times now, at least within the West, our little bubble. Its amazing what a mass media and a bureaucracy devoted to fear mongering can do to manipulate peoples perceptions of society.
The name calling is uncalled for. Its not my fault ur parents molested u or abandoned you. Deal with it bro. So what if the R train has R32 cars on it as well. Everyone makes mistakes fag.
Shut the fuck up bitch. I will know more about the New York City Subway, than you will know in your whole entire lifetime, fuckface faggot. Suck a big one, dumbass motherfucker.
very little has changed in the subway system. the only thing different is what Bonita2079 said. The graffiti is gone. Don't 4get that the A,C, E and a few F lines still have R32s. The R32s have been around for a long time and are one of the oldest trains in the subway system. The reason its still around today is because they've kept it in good shape and its a good subway car.
I still live in the Bronx today, was born and raised here. These trains you see in the films, are the same redbirds I used to ride from 6 years old all the way to 22 years old. Now the trains don't even look like that anymore. They are silver and graffiti-proof. Let's not forget how they are now COMPUTERIZED.

@mooneepondskid there are factors other than crime that have caused the inflation in incarceration rates. For one, the last 30 years have seen a tough against crime stance in both major political parties, and certain smaller crimes like petty robbery and selling/possession of small amts of weed were treated more harshly and lot of people were thrown in jail for minor crimes. During the 90s, when major crimes decreasing, you saw the biggest upspike of incarceration rates.

@mooneepondskid - Bloomberg’s surrounded himself w/ contemptible yes-men & he’s becoming his own worst enemy.
He got the $ end of it down perfectly (w/ the help of some timely luck).
But his failings as a human being – which he never seems to be concerned about, otherwise, he would have developed humility - now threaten to undo all of the good that he’s done.
So, yes, anything is possible, because you can’t buy competence.

btw, if getting shot wasn't a huge issue, then wouldn't that mean that it was a more dangerous and scarier time then...if no one made an issue out of it. What do you mean? Anyway, I think the farther back in history, the more violent, bloody, and dangerous it gets. We comparably live in peaceful times now, at least within the West, our little bubble. Its amazing what a mass media and a bureaucracy devoted to fear mongering can do to manipulate peoples perceptions of society.

very little has changed in the subway system. the only thing different is what Bonita2079 said. The graffiti is gone. Don't 4get that the A,C, E and a few F lines still have R32s. The R32s have been around for a long time and are one of the oldest trains in the subway system. The reason its still around today is because they've kept it in good shape and its a good subway car.

There's a few R32's on the R stupid ass.

I still live in the Bronx today, was born and raised here. These trains you see in the films, are the same redbirds I used to ride from 6 years old all the way to 22 years old. Now the trains don't even look like that anymore. They are silver and graffiti-proof. Let's not forget how they are now COMPUTERIZED.
