    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.

      It was a crime that the greedy Powers That Be allowed it to get that way but in the end the ground was too valuable to let things remain in such a horrible circumstance, so Mayor Ghoulani and the military police occupation was brought in to restore law 'n order without which there cannot be good.

    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
      @gluecement  2 роки тому +6

      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!

    Cobblestone streets:
    The reason there were so many was because they used to be used as ship ballast to balance out the ships. For instance, if you say are sending out coal, but receiving wheat, wheat is lighter than coal, so in order to keep the ship deep in the water, these bricks were put aboard the ships. Just think: those cobblestones that we used to drive on could have come from Russia or anywhere else in the world. Old streets in London and Amsterdam, Peraus in Greece had the same bricks. It was a standardized size and weight.

    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.

    Eric Adams runs the city better, obviously.
    Everything is clean and neat. I have been there numerous times lately, and it is a nice place.

    Yah bomber helmet snatcher runner was played by Lance Guecia, he died in 1999 age 40 while serving time in a NYC prison for multiple robberies of cab drivers and Korean grocers, yep a real criminal. From the grapevine I hear he was a junkie , died of an overdose in Rikers.
