  The original "the taking of pelham 1-2-3" would be a great one from the 70's to do also. Pure NYC

  Buddy Russo, after all this scary adventure, went into semi-retirement. He took a job as police chief in Amity Island, NY where he wanted to live a peaceful life without all the excitement. <br>There he often went fishing with an old fisherman named Quint and a young scientist named Hooper. &nbsp;And they all lived happily ever after.

  At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJS8yk7ft0E&amp;t=679">11:19</a> you can see the construction of the Twin Towers underway. &nbsp;At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJS8yk7ft0E&amp;t=717">11:57</a> we are introduced to the FBI. &nbsp;That actor was actually a stunt car driver who was behind the wheel during the subway chase scene. &nbsp;Also he appeared in &quot;Bullit&quot;being chased by Steve McQueen in the most famous movie car chase.

  The real &quot;Popeye&quot; was Eddie Egan, who plays the supervisor Simonson in this film, he was still an active NYPD Detective while acting in the film.

  FYI: &quot;French Connection II&quot; was released in 1975. &nbsp;It also stars Gene Hackman and continues the story.

  A shiv is a slang word for knife. &nbsp;When the junkie sliced Cloudy&apos;s arm with his knife, he was putting a shiv in him.<br>&quot;Picking your feet in Poughkeepsie&quot; was a routine Popeye and Cloudy developed. &nbsp;Cloudy would ask a suspect straight questions for information, but if they had any trouble with the suspect, Popeye would ask him nonsensical questions in a threatening manner, to disorient him. &nbsp;&quot;Did you pick your feet in Poughkeepsie?&quot; was one of those questions
