which one is better?
the old? or the newer one?
My two teenage son’s and I discuss this subject all the time. They tell me about a new movie out, I tell them I don’t want to see it because the ORIGINAL versions are the best. They say special effects are better…I say it just clouds up the screen. I may have seen one or two that kept the intergrity of the story. Wasn’t it amazing that a story could be told without every word being a cus word just to fill in dialog? Not a prude, just it seems like fill in now. P.S. Love Walter Matthau!
use your best dr evil voice
Great work here! Just saw the original today, been wanting to see it for ages. Both versions of it are fantastic!
really gud!!!
Nice work EXCEPT that music, which is the usual Bruckheimer assembly line crap, from the very kinds of movies you vilify in the opening seconds of this video.
i like the way this one has a no frills down and dirty office instead of the high tech new version. the cinema verite style is also cool.
but the new version does a great job in updating the storyline.
yeah, we demand ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!
true,true…john travolta is talented rant and robert shaw is lay back intellectual book reading thief…
well this was alot better than i thought it would be but i hated the guy that played the train robber guy, i hate how they made him sound like an evil genius, and in the remake he is just some crazed fuck that wants money
true but, i rate 70% old version…
i agree…..
it’s 2 weeks past…have u seen the old version…
i beg to differ…
Amazing!!!!!!!!!! Youve made a Brilliant film even better!!! If i saw that trailer at the flicks i would absolutely want to watch it!!!
Don’t complain about lack of invention in Hollywood: The Taking of Pelham 123 was originally a novel adapted into a film. That is no different than a remake. I’m not a fan of remakes for the most part, but don’t act like Hollywood has ever been known for originality.
I don’t know if anyone can agree with this statement without realizing that it would be a lie. Both movies have their merits and downfalls. The 1974 was brilliant for it’s time. The 2009 version reflects on how it would of went down in a Post 9/11 city with the modern technology we have.
The only version you need to see… forget the remakes
the remake was soooooo much better
The remake was good, there was too much emphasis on making Travolta sound crazy and out of control, where as Shaw was cool and calm.
theyre both gret
I have not seen the old verison. But the new version I think is amazing.
Better than new version
in 1973 1. 000. 000$ was a lot of money… today, not
:D
its like in austin powers: “why take billions, when we can have millions” ^.-
Really excellent work. Take a bow!
