Mapping Every Exterior Shot in The Taking of Pelham 123
A detailed breakdown of every exterior shot in the 1974 classic The Taking of Pelham 123, pinpointing each location in modern Manhattan. The filmmakers used real streets to match the action, and despite 50 years of changes, most spots are still recognizable. Includes timestamps, street views, and notes on continuity breaks.
The filmmakers evidently took care to use real locations that match the action in the film (i.e., when the subway train is parked near the 28th Street station, the aboveground police field command was filmed at 28th Street and Park Avenue), with only a few continuity breaks.
