LOL....My Lil' Sister still has the toothpick Newman gave her from the scene where they were walking and talking after leaving Bar, That scene was filmed on 184th Street between Jerome and Walton Ave's

Freakin cool! I always though his "toothpick action" felt forced and unnatural... but super cool that she still has it.

@maldonvic Жыл бұрын

That was just amazing 👏. I grew up in the 42 area and was there during the filming. My brother even came out in it. The sad part is nothing was Hollywood staged. It was all as real as it gets. I still live here and witnessed the devastation through to the Renaissance. This video brings it all together. Thanks a million. The same brother that came out in it was the one who shared it with me.

Excellent stuff. Fort Apache - The Bronx is a really a forgotten film as it's been out of print in circulation for years. What it did show was the grittiness of NY at the time. (See Wolfen, Prince Of The City etc). I have friends that stay in the area now, I'm sure they will be fascinated in this now.

This brings back so many memories! I can recall following different clips of this movie in the neighborhood, they used the 42 precinct house as the 41 precinct. The REAL 41 PCT house was on Simpson St. & Westchester Av.

I’m a Fireman in the Bronx for the past 20+ years, and never realized that the bodega on the Northwest corner of 173 & Clay is where they filmed the EDP with the knife scene. We drive past this location almost every tour I work. The vacant where Pam Grier kills the guy changing the tire is now the Cross Bronx Motel, and a woman’s shelter now.

@gluecement Жыл бұрын

Yeah, when I finally figured out that bodega location, I was amazed to find out that it was literally 400 feet from Webster Avenue, which used to be my main biking route to/from Manhattan. I probably glanced up that hill looking for oncoming cars hundreds of times.

Great job! A highly underrated film with a steller cast of actors who gave terrific performances. In the late 70s my father was the Leasing Director for Ridge Dodge at 85 NJ-17, Wood-Ridge, NJ; now East Coast Toyota. He leased the production the green van Paul Newman and Ken Wahl used prior to procuring the city bus. So pleased you vlogged this as I wondered where many of these locations were and surmised many would look completely different with the gentrification of the Bronx. Again, nice work!

Over the years I have seen the Bronx change from visiting both those same relatives and paying respects. Have not been recently but it's always interesting to see the developments.

The major difference between then and now is back then spaces were open. Less gates, less fencing off, less cars parked and way kess people. So many restrictions today in terms of your own personal mobility that it puts pressure on each individual to the point of being unable to communicate with others in your immediate surroundings. This external constricting of physical space creates an internal psychological constricting of space. When you constrict space, you are closing off areas. As a result, you create a society of people who are closing themselves off from everyone else.

I thought that church would have been an historical landmark and thus could not be demolished. @@gluecement I was wondering for the longest where the park was. Those wide open spaces with the church in the background produced a feeling of serenity. As they keep closing down these open areas by packing in more buildings, it's creating a feeling of claustrophobia, of feeling compacted and tightened up.

@gluecement 5 ай бұрын

@@failyourwaytothetop Yes, the Archdiocese declared St. Augustine’s Church no longer sacred in 2011, allowing it to be demolished. But at least the apartment building that went up in its place is a Catholic charitable housing tower for lower income families.
