The Taking of Pelham One Two Three is a 1974 thriller based on a best selling novel and stars Walter Matthau as a lieutenant of the New York Transit Authority who deals with the hijacking of the subway train designated as "Pelham 123". A remake starring Denzel Washington and directed by Tony Scott was released in 2009.
Transit Authority Patrolman James (Nathan George) carries a Colt Official Police revolver, identified by its front sight, medium frame, and ejector rod.
Mr. Blue (Robert Shaw) draws a Star Model B when commandeering the subway train from the motorman, Denny Doyle, and when approaching the wounded undercover NYPD officer. This weapon alternates between the Star and a Browning Hi-Power, seen in both scenes.
