The Taking of Pelham One Two Three is a 1974 feature film adaptation of the best selling novel of the same name. The film stars Walter Matthau as a lieutenant in the New York Transit Authority who must negotiate with a team of hijackers who have commandeered a subway train designated as "Pelham 123". The film would subsequently be remade as a 1998 television film starring Edward James Olmos and Vincent D'Onofrio, and as a 2009 feature film starring Denzel Washington and directed by Tony Scott.
The following weapons were used in the film The Taking of Pelham One Two Three:
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.
