I've seen both the 1974 and 2009 versions of the "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3".

I've also seen Reservoir Dogs.

I didn't know the "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3" was based on a book by John Godey.

I also didn't know about the 1998 version of "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3".

Thank you for making this.

You're welcome. I have seen the 1998 and 2009 versions wasn't all that impressed. The 1974 film is the closest to the novel. Plus people don't realize that the story was written during a time when New York was in urban collapse and the city started to become more liberal and more crime ridden.

We as a country had no idea how to deal with foreign and domestic terrorism. Therefore the 1974 film is ten times more scarier in my opinion.

Thank you for your excellent background on the climate in which the book was written.
