I was 8 when this came out for me & my friends it was all about the Car chase & car wash scenes still the same in 2024 But the scene where he is going thru the old neighborhood and connects with everyone he knows like the old lady at the produce stand and Ralphy at the meat market and my favorite the old neighborhood Italian Barber that tips him about a lot more wise guys on the street with a lot more fire power and the Funeral home Scene was pretty real they nailed that exactly the way those guys are in real life then there is one more detail that I love in this movie Pontiac Pontiac Pontiacs galore
@@georgewilson1184 The French Connection in 1971 was so successful that they gave Popeye Doyle's partner Roy Scheider his own movie in '73 as a different fictional cop but with the same gritty feel. It's exactly how I remember 70s NYC.
I've seen this at least a dozen times and it always delivers a big punch!!! Gritty and real! Like a time machine to the crazy, dirty New York of my childhood! RIP Roy Scheider, Joe Spinelli!
He also drove the car in French Connection chase scene, they cut Gene Hackman in later. They also did that for real, never told NYPD, didn't stage any of it. He was the best stunt driver in Hollywood at the tjme.
@@Pastrychef90210 saw a documentary about Friedkin, said he was also in the car... they also filmed everything live time in Sorcerer, another movie with Roy Scheider
@@martyconroy3786 he was in the car filming as the other two camera operators were both married with kids. He never spoke much about Sorcerer but it is a masterpiece. People would tell him how great it was and he’d just say “thank you.” But if you talked about The French Connection or The Exorcist or even Killer Joe, he’d talk at length about it
As was Randy Jurgensen, the other real cop and partner in here along with Eddie Egan aka Popeye Doyle, who is in the scene when they're hacking up the car looking for the H. Randy's was in a ton of Friedkin movies like Sorcerer, Cruising, etc
It's cool to read other's praise for this movie, The Seven-Ups. I agree, this and Jaws are my favorite Roy Scheider movies. He really shows his acting chops. Also, I didn't't realize this until I read it in another post. I was amazed at the calmness of the getaway driver and wondered how he could be so calm. Well, that gentleman is Bill Hickman, an experienced stunt driver. That's why he seems to look like he's just going on a Sunday drive, as opposed to a harrowing chase through NYC, in those chase scenes.
A complex plot that takes it's luxuriating time across 70's gritty NYC. I can't imagine a modern audience being able to even follow the plot what with the sparse language that told so much and the various entities taking their time, too. Excellent version. What exactly makes it "Cut in the style of the French Connection?" The style of the editor mentioned? Either way, a superior effort. Thank you so much for perfecting this film! I love it even more.
Personally, I like this better than the French Connection... and the best car chase I've ever seen on film. IMHO there are only three top qualifiers for that... French Connection, Bullitt & The Seven Ups... Phillip D"Antoni was involved in all three of these productions as producer (also directed 7-Ups). Nothing like capturing old NYC onscreen.
Interesting how the opening music has that "jaws" theme song sound in the background. The chase scene resembles Steve McQueen's famous chase in Bullitt, five years earlier, including the exhaust sounds, camera angle from inside the car, and the same driver of the target vehicle.
This is one badass movie with badass actors! The car chase scenes and the facial expressions on Roy Scheiders' face, says it all, love it! One of my most favorite 70's movies, never be another like it, EVER!👏👏👍👍
Thank you for posting this. The Seven-Ups seems to have been eclipsed by The French Connection, which is too bad. Both are superior films in content, acting, dialogue, another fantastic Don Ellis score, and all other aspects. And both are among my all time favorites.
The thing cracks me up in this is the two guys who did the kidnappings are so classically handsome, in a “tough guy” way, they kind of stick out among the cast as though “everyone normal” until these two show up from a men’s catalogue.
@@timothydoherty5337Location shoots have plusses and minuses. Film permit, local police and security. Limited shooting in Commercial area and residential neighborhood's... weather limitations also.
Brilliant Movie from that era when New York was old,worn out and gritty but had style.Sidenote the driver in the car Schieder was chasing is the same driver McQueen was chasing in “Bullet”.
That was Bill Hickman, he did double duty on those films. In Bullitt he was driving the Charger, in French Connection he drove Popeye’s car AND played the FBI agent Popeye shoots at the end, and in Seven-Ups he’s the hit man driving the big Pontiac Schieder chases and did the stunt driving

With the great Bill Hickman at the wheel and RIchard Lynch riding shotgun (literally), what can go wrong? The tense soundtrack by Don Ellis puts everything on edge. I remember seeing this on TV in the 70's and just waiting for that car chase.
Now this is the New York I remember! I went to DeWitt Clinton, and grew up in the Bronx, and remember this movie well. Some of the scenes were shot near my school😁⭐️⭐️⭐️😁😁😁😁👍🏽
I saw this in the movies (when that was cool) when I was 7. Didn't get most of it of course, I was 7. But I never forgot one of the 3 best car chases of the 70s (and longest) in NY @ its grittiest (or shittiest). I love it. A crappy looking but beautiful Bronx. An almost empty Manhatty in the middle of the work day... and cops were cops! Just gotta love it.
Imagine both of them going back in time a few hundred years and performing Shakespeare with Brooklyn accents live at the original Globe Theatre! They'd never have made it alive to the stage --- probably burned as Witches first! Not for having popped in out of thin air but because of their strange accents!
Having Bill Hickman driving the getaway car in this flick was so interesting. He has long hair, in comparison to his high-n-tight in Bullitt. Those two scenes are such mirror images.
A classic mid-70's 'in-your-face' action/crime-thriller offering many twists-and-turns; I can almost never get enough seeing this well-scripted and fast-paced film, and it's rather a shame this (based-on-true-events) movie never quite gets the credit it deserves among others within the same acclaimed genre. On a similar note, the late Richard Lynch (playing 'Moon') was simply absolutely 'mag-dumping' perfect for his [convincing] portrayed role of an almost psycho-like, half-crazed desperado/killer (perhaps even to a degree higher than that of Andy Robinson's, 'Scorpio' [whose birthdays, ironically, are just a couple days apart!], from *Dirty Harry),* evincing nothing more than that of a bad-arsed outcast creep, seemingly always on the lookout for some honest 'bloody-good-time' easy action. Should this movie ever be considered for a remake, one will surely be hard-pressed in replacing Lynch's character - the best bad-guy character-actor of all time! Good to see this film for one more time. Thanks for the upload!
I didn’t think I was going to like this film, since I’d seen the original, although only the tv edited version seemed to be a tighter edit, I didn’t miss the cut parts, the more lengthy car chase, for example. It was actually done well, I heard more of the dialogue also.
"to satisfy the studio's edict" Aha, so _that's_ why they went by Grant's Tomb twice in the original. They're still coming out of the Grant's Tomb curve twice. Tough call which shot to cut. Maybe the one in which the cameramen are evident. It's also still funny how the cops crash out by Riverside Park _after_ heading north past GT.
The cars also needlessly jumped the four hills on West 96th Street around l5 times. One thing I gotta say, when those cops got t-boned on Riverside, it must have been a hard hit, the one cop flies across his seat (losing his hat) and lands in his partner's lap.
I was waiting to see Starsky & Hutch casually walking down the street at some point, maybe see the car driving through an intersection in the background while on duty.
Good edit! A big deal was made about the car chase when this was released but it really wasn't very good. They overdubbed the sound of an 8 cyl. manual on Scheider's automatic 6 cyl. Pontiac Ventura Sprint.
@@if6was929 Thanks. Another critic at the time (I think Paul Zimmerman of Newsweek) wrote the chase was superfluous to the plot. He was right. You can go from the shooting in the parking garage right to the hospital scene and not miss a beat in the plot. The killers got away at the garage and got away a second time on the parkway. Same difference.
This is the third time I've seen it. Always something new pops up. I am not familiar with the Bronx. Was this all filmed there or other places as well?
THE DUDE DRIVING THE CAR WITH RICHARD LYNCH IS THE SAME MAN WHO DROVE V STEVE MCQUEEN IN BULLIT THIS ACTUALLY REMINDED ME OF THAT CHASE BRILLIANT CAR CHASE 🎶🎸♥️🌈🙏🗼
I loved this movie as a kid (after I saw it in the theater, I just stayed and watched it again) and have rewayched it a couple of times as an adult. But is this version re-edited? I don't notice it being any different.
This was really, really interesting and a great effort, but I'm not sure. The thing of it is, because of the mandate for a longer picture, the editor built the entire movie around a slower pace. Now with these sections cut out, it feels choppy. I think if the original editor had his shorter running time, he'd have built the whole thing differently and made innumerable smaller choices to meet the running time, a few seconds here and there. Would have been more of a piece. I'm not putting down your work, just saying. I did a little TV editing in a class and, man, it was tough.
There's a gritty, authentic feel to this and other NYC cop/mob movies out of the 70's that isn't replicated in today's films. Thanks RUclips!
Correct, sir! Today's film are too clean!
However, '70s mobsters were often very anglo--producers didn't want to offend the Italian-american groups.
Yeah the original Shaft is one of the better ones from that era.
You cant beat these films.

Just as intended. Scenes were not removed, just edited out the dead moments. Thanks for watching!
Brilliant 🎉
I bought that red cargo van at 2:30 .
This was really, really interesting and a great effort, but I'm not sure. The thing of it is, because of the mandate for a longer picture, the editor built the entire movie around a slower pace. Now with these sections cut out, it feels choppy. I think if the original editor had his shorter running time, he'd have built the whole thing differently and made innumerable smaller choices to meet the running time, a few seconds here and there. Would have been more of a piece. I'm not putting down your work, just saying. I did a little TV editing in a class and, man, it was tough.
THIS WILL BREAK THEY DA BALLS
Did this appear in my RUclips because I watched "The New Centurions" yesterday?
Really tough, jagged action. I judge the reedit to be a fine success.
There you go! I'm glad there is one film connoisseur out there. Thanks a bunch.
The Car Chases in Ronin come close and were longer but you can see where Ronin got its inspiration from,Bullit comes third.
Wow, amazing film
This should be good. I know absolutely nothing about film editing but I’ve seen both films.
Not often you hear someone called a lummox.
😂 My Grandfather used to call me that. Never knew what it meant.
You should do a re-edit of "Pelham 123". That's another one that took place back in the real N.Y.
I wish all these Hollywood actors and actresses did NOT smoke or fake smoking
فيلم رائع استمر صديقي ...❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
so they added 10 minutes? ok. sounded like it was quite a bit more.
This is how you know a and information is working both sides
Thanks!
How can that guy be driving the getaway car in the chase? He died in the car chase in Bullitt.
But it's less than 90 minutes??
Not sure if I liked this edit. It feels shorter than what I remember.
It's about 30 minutes shorter
