Anyways, I did one of them 'alternative movie posters' for it, take a look.<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/one-2-3/7582243886/pelham123https://www.blogger.com/profile/12220461387636385510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-76252211508947581002013-06-19T11:14:06.358-07:002013-06-19T11:14:06.358-07:00Fantastic movie.

Also must mention Robert Shaw is amazing in this, I couldn't imagine them casting anyone else, he nailed it.
