That final shot of the movie. Get's me every frickin' time.

This one is so much better than the two remakes imo.
I like the Tony Scott remake because Tony Scott and Denzel. But the original has the NYC GRIT
Exactly! The New York grit is what absolutely makes this movie - you're spot on (Ignoring the small handful of surprisingly casual moments of racism in it). The Denzel one is not bad, but this one has so much more realism.

Also, I think Travolta was great in Pulp Fiction bit him showing up as the crazy villain in all the films following in the wake of that was boring. I give him Face off. But other than that I imagine there would be better and less hokey options for the villain. Pelham incuded.

If you want some Stockholm grit from the same time period:

A good, and important, story got lost in the "art". What a shame.

Sold out in this 700 seater. Room filling up
I will fall alseep.
Outside of the technical aspects, it was great before the intermission and after it was not sticking the landing for another 90 minutes.
It wouldn't be January without a bad horror, but woof
