But in the 2004 remake with Denzel Washington the cell phones do not stop the criminals from being criminals. - Man on Fire (1987) the crime is a kidnapping. Then in the 2004 remake (with Denzel)…
neutral · AI labelView post →Every few years I rewatch THE TAKING OF PELHAM 1 2 3, and it never stops being awesome. Maybe my favorite NYC movie, as far as the portrayal of NYC is concerned.
positive · AI labelView post →Because of how people aged before we stopped allowing smoking indoors, it's impossible to know how old anyone in "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" is. As far as I know, that's what Jerry Stiller looked like at 17.
neutral · AI labelView post →A couple of things for people responding to this: The student in question said they did not watch ANY films or television, only YouTube. My 15-y-o knows who Cary Grant is and also understands that The Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3 is sheer perfection. Teach your children well, y’all.
neutral · AI labelView post →Best low key scene in The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 (1974) is the crowd behind the cops erupts in boos, and one turns around and says "oh great, it's the mayor" The mayor is never seen on-screen again

neutral · AI labelView post →There's a hidden station near Delancey and Essex. They use it for training and rent it out for movies and TV shows. And if you've never seen it, watch the original version of 'The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3' my all time favorite New York movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →THE TAKING OF PELHAM 1, 2, 3 is one of the best suspense movies ever made and no matter how much love it gets, it deserves more. It's the 70s, hijackings are (relatively) low stakes, everything is brown, and Walter Matthau is a heroic public transit employee. None of it translates to 2025 and yet.
positive · AI labelView post →Using this skeet as a test of who's done the homework (watched the finest documentary ever about municipal government, The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3)
neutral · AI labelView post →Transit Police Lt. Zack Garber (Walter Matthau) matches wits with a polished band of criminals holding hostages in the N.Y.C. subway in "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" (1974) — a testament to society's growing anxiety over terrorism, street crime and urban decay. #CrimeFilm

If you just sit quietly and let everyone forget about you, you can stay up way past your bedtime and watch The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3.

neutral · AI labelView post →this happened again, same bar, declaring that the remake of The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 was J-Lo's cinema debut (its not, and i was thinking of Money Train. a friendly bar patron got very mad)
neutral · AI labelView post →62. An absolute cracking thriller “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3” does all the basics so well it makes it look easy. Only the fact that very few thrillers are anywhere near this good shows it isn’t. Shaw is the standout here - intelligent, dangerous but also utterly engaging - but everyone’s great
positive · AI labelView post →Not sure who needs to hear this, but Walter Matthau, for many, many years, was the fucking man in Hollywood. Some of my personal favorites, pictured here: Charley Varrick, Fail Safe, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, Hopscotch
neutral · AI labelView post →TIL there was a 1998 TV movie remake of The Taking Of Pelham 1-2-3 starring Edward James Olmos and Vincent D’onofrio. Tubi is truly undefeated.

neutral · AI labelView post →The trouble is that a lot of the good stuff is forgotten as well. Here are some movies you've probably never heard of. "The Day of the Jackal" [original] "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" [original] "Silent Partner" Elliot Gould "The 3 Musketeers" Raquel Welch and Oliver Reed. "Little Big Man" I never hear them mentioned but people will rewatch a Hitchcock movie fifty times.

neutral · AI labelView post →wn The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3. Good value, so far. They actually take Pelham 123 pretty early in the film and while it would have been fair to roll credits right there, they push on to show much of the aftermath of the taking of pelham 123

Also other great train films: The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 (1970s heist film) Runaway Train (prison break) Unstoppable (big dumb Tony Scott action movie)

positive · AI labelView post →Joseph Sargent and Walter Matthau together again after The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 for a courtroom drama. A Few Good Men and Bridge of Spies given the Hallmark TV movie spin - but with a great Matthau turn as a country lawyer. It's not a great film, but I've seen better films I've liked a lot less.
