About this product

Product Information

THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE superbly achieves what few other movies do: a successful blend of thrills, style, comedy, drama, suspense and action. It is the precursor for many thrillers of the 1990s, from indie hits like Quentin Tarantino's RESERVOIR DOGS, and more popular, Hollywood vehicles like SPEED.The story focuses on four criminals who hijack a subway car and demand one million dollars from the mayor of New York, threatening to kill one hostage per minute if their demands aren't met. The hijackers are Mr. Blue (Robert Shaw), the crafty and efficient leader; Mr. Green (Martin Balsam), the train driver; Mr. Gray (Hector Elizondo), the hothead; and Mr. Brown (Earl Hindman), a nervous, stuttering man. New York City transit lieutenant Zachary Garber (Walter Matthau) goes above and beyond his call of duty to play negotiator with the hijackers. The camera grabs the viewer by taking him down into dark gritty hallows of the subway tunnels and into the midst of the harrowing situation on the hijacked car. Based on the book by JohnGodey, TAKING OF PELHAM is a true classic that depicts the dark, crime-ridden climate of 1970s New York city.

    Excellent movie!!!

    Such an excellent movie! The characters are perfect in every way. The story is engaging and fun to watch unfold. MUCH better than the 2009 trainwreck of a version.

    "Who'd wanna steal a subway train?"

    NOTE: The rating is for the DVD itself, not the movie. If I was rating this review based only on the movie, it'd be five stars. Technically speaking this is not the DVD I got. Mine was the original 2000 release with a similar but different cover, but they're asking me to review the new one. But since I'm told that the "new" DVD is basically just a repackaged version of the old one, what the heck? Well, what can I say about 'The Taking of Pelham One Two Three' that hasn't already been said? A bunch of color-themed baddies, led by the ever-awesome Robert Shaw as "Mr. Blue," hijack themselves a subway train and demand a million bucks. It's to police lieutenant Zachary "Z" Garber to stop the crooks and save the hostages. Some shootouts in dimly-lit subway tunnels, and some tense scenes of ...

    "Action" movies? You can't go wrong with this one.

    Really excellent movie. I saw it many years ago, and all I remembered was the jewel of a final scene. I'm not sure if I ever saw the remake, but who would bother to remake a movie this good?

    1970,s best.

    great movie. like stepping back into the early seventies again. these action movies were so much fun. well made movie from a better time before all the pc nonsense that dictates the how movies are made these days. no brain washing mind numbing dialogue telling you how you should think and feel correctly. just fun popcorn action.

    ONE OF THE MOST UNDER-RATED ALL-TIME CLASSICS!!!

    One of the all-time great "rainy-day" or "channel-surfing-stop-here" movies. I was so happy to see this out on DVD. Don't expect hours of extra-features; this DVD doesn't need them. I saw this movie originally as a kid on TV, too young to see at at the theater. Rated R but if it were made these days it would either be a PG or PG-13 just due to a couple "n-words" and "f-words" but nothing like the non-stop profanity in today's movies. You could sit down and watch this with most tweens and not get embarassed, but it is anything but a kid movie. It is a brilliant mix of suspense, comedy, drama and crime. It gets going almost right away and isn't bogged down by the typical love-interest or other side stories. It probably lives up to the hype of "awesome thrill-ride". It must have been ...
