Speaking of trains, I watched the new DVD of the Travolta version of The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 last night. Unfortunately I had recently watched the original with Robert Shaw (Jaws Capt) as the villain and all I could think about was how they messed up this film. It was nice to see it wasn't a complete carbon copy by incorporating a lot of the new technology, but they also changed a lot of the storyline.
I would be interested in knowing how some of you would rate this film who haven't had their mind corrupted by seeing the original. If you want to see the original 1974 version with Robert Shaw, Walter Matthau, Martin Balsam, Hector Elizondo, Jerry Stiller and Tony Roberts among others, they had it free at Hula.com a few months ago. The original is titled "The Taking of Pelham One, Two, Three" spelled out like that.
