The Taking of Pelham One Two Three
2 December 2005Must see classic crime thriller starring Robert Shaw and Walter Matthau. Quentin Tarantino borrowed quite a bit from this movie, including using color for code names for his film Reservoir Dogs. Here is the plot outline from netflix:
Mr. Blue (Robert Shaw) and his crew take hostages on a subway car [train Pelham 1-2-3]. If Blue and Co. don’t get a million dollars in an hour, Blue will start carving graffiti on the passengers’ foreheads.
Here are some quotes from the movie courtesy of IMDB:
Lt. Garber: Rico, she’s moving.
Lt. Rico Patrone: Whose moving?
Lt. Garber: Who do you think? Pelham!
Lt. Garber: Inspector Daniels? She’s moving, sir.
Inspector Daniels: Whose moving?
Lt. Garber: What’s the matter with everybody? How many hijacked trains have we got around here, anyway?Mayor: Warren, suppose the hijackers start shooting at me?
Deputy Mayor: Will you stop? They have no reason to shoot at you.
Mayor: Why - do you think they’re from out of town?
Deputy Mayor: Get dressed, Al. I’ll do the jokes.Correll: Don’t bug me, Garber. I’ve got problems.
Lt. Garber: Oh, yeah? What’s the matter?
Correll: Oh, nothing: a train is down, it’s radio’s dead, the power’s off, and it’s dumped its load. Aside from that, everything’s ginger peachy.Lt. Rico Patrone: We had a bomb scare in the Bronx yesterday, but it turned out to be a cantaloupe.
