Great older film, one of the best things to watch on RUclips without any ads. You very rarely find anything as good as this. A big thanks for the upload.
I’m so hooked my daily is a 85’ bmw e28, and my other car a 79’ firebird transam. Old radio connected to ONLY 70’s and 80’s tunes. It’s my time-travel machine. Every day I drive it and I try to forget about what I see around. I even live in a big 80’ camper. Call me crazy, you would probably be right. I just hate this nowadays world so much. It’s all fake, vain and void. Ugly girls, cold people, no colors in the streets, no animation. They killed it.
Just a little bit of trivia, the gentleman driving the black Pontiac Bonneville is the same actor/stunt driver, Bill Hickman, who drove the black Dodge Charger in Bullet, and did the French Connection car chase scene. And what a car chase scene this movie had, I'd say it's actually a little better than the Bullet and French Connection sequence, though all three are EXCELLENT!
Underrated film. Beautiful to watch. Great music, and that car chase. The bleak NYC-scape reminds me of when I was a kid, right across the Hudson in NJ.
Getting my popcorn out. I've seen The7 Ups, several times. First in the theater, when I was 9 years old (Christmas Eve 1973,) on VHS during the early 80's, disk during the 90's, Bluetooth during the mid 2000's, one TCM, and now I'm about to watch it on RUclips. Roy Snyder was on top of the heap during the 70's,and into the 80's. The French Connection, Jaws, Marathon Man, The Setup, Klute, Blue Thunder, and so many more. Don't forget Tony Lobionco. My mom got in a cab in 1980, in Manhattan, and Tony Lobionco's Dad was the driver. Small world.
Oh wow, this is a great film. Going to the movies in the 70's was magical. I mean these films are absolutely brilliant. Exciting real escapism. And theaters had double features, cartoons and previews. 🍿 🥤 ❤️
Thank you for sharing this. 70s was an interesting decade for movies both in the US and in Europe. They were dirty, gritty and very depressing at times but they captured real life and us who watched them much more that many of the ones today that has a much bigger budget and better technical equipment to make anything. There are good films today, but usually they don't have a big marketing budget so don't catch them unless you go to festivals, alternative streaming services or do your homework properly. Thank God for people who share these hidden gems and directors like Sean Baker who stands out and make movies that stand out from mainstream. Looking forward to watch more of the movies on you channel.
I love that movie. I always thought of it as being a complement to French Connection. It has the same feel and it looks like it is just a continuation of the life of the Roy Scheider character.
Watched this with my NY buddy back in 70's. He swore the door getting ripped off the red car @ 59:00 was a real accident, and they left it in. "Knew all about it" He believed in 'Big Time Wrestling', also. He was a small time pool shark, cabbie, guitarist, comedian, party animal, thief, junkie, and all around good guy. Fast Fred Smelson, from the Bronx. God we had some laughs, and some good times, back then RIP Freddie...
It's always a treat to see Bill Hickman, the greatest wheelman the bad guys ever had! Cool to see a Pontiac Ventura too! One of GM's NOVA cars Chevrolet "Nova", Oldsmobile "Omega", Pontiac "Ventura", and the "Buick Apollo" all shared that platform. Edited as I accidentally listed the olds twice and forgot the Buick.
That bad guy Bill Hickman, stunt driver, was driving the Pontiac. He was the driver in Bullitt that Steve McQueen was chasing. He also was in the French Connection. I like these old movies.
I had a Pontiac like that back in the day. It was an old ugly brown color, but I still loved it. My dad bought it for a second car and I eventually got handed the keys. Put some Crager Mags on it and I thought it was da bomb.....transmission blew a year later and we sold it to the towing company for $200 bucks....
In the 70s there were plenty of this car and similar models in every junkyard. Many would pull the engine, trans and rear end for you. Some yards even guaranteed such parts. Not to difficult to replace. Go back in time and fix it.
Bill Hickman was the driver in this chase and Bullet too! The look on Roy Scheider's face after he crashes is priceless, blood totally drained from his face
@@mooville32 I thought the driver looked familiar with that look. lol. I noticed the sounds of the engine was similar as well. Was the car he was driving an Olds or Pontiac? I know it wasn't a Nova.
Bill Hickman was not just the driver, he was the second unit director who conceived and directed the car chase scenes. He was also responsible for the "French Connection" and "Bullet" car chase sequences. He was one of the driver/hitmen shown in ""Bullet" and played Popeye Doyle's (Gene Hackman) FBI agent antagonist who Doyle accidently kills in the penultimate scene. One of the lesser known geniuses of Hollywood film making, comparable in innovation to Yakima Cannutt who did the chariot race in De Mille's "Ben Hur" and many others.
@@BrianMcCarthy-z9l There was a rumor about the Mustang Steve McQueen drove in the movie about the sound. I remember the engine sound of the Mustang was very popular when I was growing up. The rumor was the sound came from the Ford Cobra instead the Mustang itself. Do you know about this?
Am in my late 50's and embarrassed to say that I'd never even heard of this movie Watched 1000's of movies in my lifetime, similar to tjis, Bullitt, The French Connection etc and more but i freaking loved this movie. Roy Scheider was a great actor, plus you have Tony Lo Bianco, Bill Hickman (Bullitt) and Richard Lynch, always the baddir 😅... The car chase, All 11 minutes is beautifully shot and edited... No ABS or modern day hijinks, awesome movie. Loved it from start to finish... They dont make movies like this anymore, that's for sure!... I rate this highly, great actors, superb direction, top script and the action sequences are as good as any movie of this genre.. no CGI and Bill Hickman driving the s&it out of his car, just like in Bullitt. Fantastic film ❤❤❤❤❤
70s Gritty Shitty NY at its best! Classic! One of the best & longest chase scenes. Saw this in the theater when I was 7. When he slammed into the back of that semi, everyone cheered when they saw he was ok. So different back then...
Absolutely! The car chases in "The Seven Ups" are definitely iconic and stand the test of time. It's great to see it getting the recognition it deserves!
14:49 Very cool moment to me. I saw the sign and I couldn't figure out what it meant and I kept getting stalled on the 'talX' part of "This draw can tal* with vessels on 156.55 and 15X.X0 megacycles." I spent forever trying to figure out the last letter of tal*. But the moment I looked at the numbers I immediately realized that they were 2-Way radio channels. This was a message that the drawbridge people were sending to ships that might need to have the drawbridge raised so they could pass through. So the original message says "This drawbridge can talk with vessels on 156.55 and 15X.X0 megacycles", (Megacycles? First I've ever heard this.) Cool mini experience. It makes the movie more fun for me to see it again after all these decades. Thank You!
Great movie. Between this movie, Day of the Condor and a few others; Hollywood could learn a thing or two about whats missing in movies. No single hero in this movie taking on an endless stream of attacks and beating them to a pulp over and over again. I'm sick of that formula where one dude can take out 10 professional cleaners in one scene.
@ 20:19 You can see The UA Valentine Theater on Fordham Road in the Bronx and that is where I actually saw the The Seven Ups back in 78 when they re-released it.... GOOD Memories!!!... GREAT Movie!!!
It is Bill Hickman who staged the stunts in all of these three movies . He was driving the bad guy's car in Bullit and Steve McQueen ' s car in the most dangerous scenes . He was driving Gene Heckman ' s car in the famous train chase scene of the French Connection . He was driving the bad guy's car in 7 Ups again . He was also playing minor roles in all three of the movies . By the way James Dean died in his hands after the car incident .
@draganpenchev thank you for the info fella I read something about the guy in relation to James Dean and H is doing stunt work on Bullitt, but everything else is News to me
Enjoyed the 70's movie and the acting from both sides of the law, which knew the boundaries and who was public enemy No. 1 We have no clue today whom public enemy No. 1 is today. Think about that for awhile...is it the citizens or the folks who are enslaving the citizens? Are we really free?
Love Roy Schneider's Pontiac Ventura. Unfortunately it became a convertible later in the movie. Probably one of the few cases where I could say it was a good thing that he wasn't wearing a seat belt.
As much as I love this flick, it’s unfortunate that audiences then and now rightly don’t get the title nor the context of our fave squad. Fans of the film know that the title references that this special squad are famous or infamous for putting crooks away for seven plus years, at least….but it’s never stated in the film at all, nor is the fact that they are a special squad at all either. More’s the pity. They could have easily sold that with just a short scene or two. It’s actually kinda weird it’s absent but meant to be understood….indeed…understood enough that the title makes sense to the general audience. Bizarre choice not to make it clear. 🤷♂️ Still a great flick and highly underrated!

I wonder how he actually survived that wild fiery crash we all saw in the historic document called Bullit ???? Then made his way to NYC to make money kidnapping mob guys.

A bit too young for it but that 70s vibe is hard to beat and when captured properly on film is a joy to watch.😊
The 70s definitely had a unique charm!
A classic film and a time capsule of early 1970’s New York.

One of my favorite classics from the 70's. Remembered when I was at summer camp and I saw this movie. One of my favorites from Roy Scheider.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with "The Seven Ups"! It’s always wonderful to hear how films connect with viewers over the years.
I've always wanted to watch this movie. Now I can save it and watch it again.😊
Oh wow, this is a great film. Going to the movies in the 70's was magical. I mean these films are absolutely brilliant. Exciting real escapism. And theaters had double features, cartoons and previews. 🍿 🥤 ❤️
Ah yes, the 70s-when the only thing more exciting than the movie was the popcorn! And don’t forget the thrill of trying to sneak in your own snacks!

I had a Pontiac Ventura that was tough as nails .love this !
I had the evel kinevel stunt cycle in the 70s, loved it tough as nails 😅
Pontiac Ventura with a 400 ci, and a four speed manual.
Awesome movie... I remember this movie as a kid... I loved the car chase scenes the most... 8-9 o'clock movies back in the 70s
One of the best crime films of the 70s. Don Ellis' score is great.
Yes Don Ellis' score is amazing.
Really. The music makes a trip through a car wash seem like the most menacing event in history.
I love that movie. I always thought of it as being a complement to French Connection. It has the same feel and it looks like it is just a continuation of the life of the Roy Scheider character.
Totally get what you mean! Those movies really vibe together. Scheider was on fire back then!
So happy to subscribe in memory of Roy Scheider ❤😊

"Bullitt" even!
@1955marty 😅😅😅😅 spell check
First time I've seen this,really impressed, does a French Connection feel to it,has QT seen it, never mentioned it
@@EricWhite-co8nu This movie was produced by the same Producer, of French Connection and Bullitt 👍

Enjoyed the movie thanks for posting. Quite a cross pollination with the French Connection. Same feel same grime :)
Don Ellis did the music for both
Great Movie 🎥🎥 From the Winter ❄️❄️❄️ 1973-74
Oh yeah… just what I needed!
Great movie!! Thank you !
I had a Pontiac like that back in the day. It was an old ugly brown color, but I still loved it. My dad bought it for a second car and I eventually got handed the keys. Put some Crager Mags on it and I thought it was da bomb.....transmission blew a year later and we sold it to the towing company for $200 bucks....
The good ole' days. Peace out😅
Half the cars in the 70s were some shade of Brown lol
Back then transmissions were $200 for a good used one. With a warranty.
In the 70s there were plenty of this car and similar models in every junkyard. Many would pull the engine, trans and rear end for you. Some yards even guaranteed such parts. Not to difficult to replace. Go back in time and fix it.
Go back in time and buy the junkyard! @@pressureworks
One of The Greatest Pontiac vs. Pontiac car chases since Smokey and the Bandit!
Bill Hickman one of the best wheel men ever..... If im gonna pull a heist he's my man
I love the way the Large car just softly bounced up and down like a Land Yacht
Love that opening, grand central, 42 st, chok full of nuts store.....sigh
Saw this movie as a double feature with French connection,to great car chasers
Best car chase ever
Andrew Robinson, the criminal driver in the chase, he also played the criminal Scorpio in Dirty Harry.
THANKYOU 70'S GUY 👦 ❤

Perfectly said, in total agreement. 56 nj commercial roofer, you know ur stuff😅
Same bad guy driving as in Bullit and the black charger, da?
@@Mike-q2b8othink so to
It is Bill Hickman who staged the stunts in all of these three movies . He was driving the bad guy's car in Bullit and Steve McQueen ' s car in the most dangerous scenes . He was driving Gene Heckman ' s car in the famous train chase scene of the French Connection . He was driving the bad guy's car in 7 Ups again . He was also playing minor roles in all three of the movies . By the way James Dean died in his hands after the car incident .

Enjoyed the 70's movie and the acting from both sides of the law, which knew the boundaries and who was public enemy No. 1
We have no clue today whom public enemy No. 1 is today.
Think about that for awhile...is it the citizens or the folks who are enslaving the citizens?
Are we really free?
Not without democracy.
I watch this one when I was in high school 1974- or75 don't remember but Roy not yet famous
Excellent film
Love Roy Schneider's Pontiac Ventura. Unfortunately it became a convertible later in the movie. Probably one of the few cases where I could say it was a good thing that he wasn't wearing a seat belt.
I notice the sound effect for Roy Scheider's Pontiac Ventura is the same one used for Steve McQueen's Mustang from "Bullitt".
Also used in the 1st few episodes of Spencer for Hire.( Spencer's Mustang)
Don Eliis, amazing soundtrack
Should've won the Oscar for this one too
Great movie.
You're not wrong!!!
Pontiacs version of Bullit. I had a 73 Pontiac Le Man's 2 door. Great car.
Love the 2 door Le Mans! I have a '72 Fury Hardtop myself that can be seen on my channel too.
Thanks !
Welcome!
Another great car chasing in the crowded streets. " Gone In Sixty Seconds "
Saw it at the drive-in. Legendary chase.
I was wondering how Rob Schneider could play in such a movie back then. But now I see that I am blind.
