I don't usually feel overwhelmingly compelled to do high definition movies, like 720p or 1080p, but putting this up at a lower resolution really does the creators of the film a great deal of disrespect and it undersells a remarkable production to the viewer...... It deprives them of the technical richness and great detail that the story and the acting mutually compliments. Sort of like sending the bitch of an exwife dog shit through the post, or not sending her anything at all...
There is an incredible amount of history in this movie.... Scorsasey - being one of my better students, paid attention and did a great job of it. Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902) - Georges Méliès - (HQ) - Music by David Short - Billi Brass Quintet ------ https://www.mgtow.tv/v/TdP84D --------------- Look up "Georges Méliès" in Wikipedia, some historical / achival / and fan sites, and for all of his movies... on Youtube and other places. - look on the ----- Internet archive "Georges Méliès" ----- it is a particualry rich source of information.
@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: I don't have a link. I simply remembered the scene from back in the '70s, where the train ran through the station, much like this one. It was part of the ad poster when the movie first came out. As a teenager, I simply recalled how vividly climactic and hilarious it was, as it was near the end of the movie.
@sauger1001: I am having flash backs.... It had Richard Pryor in it... and I think it was done in New York Central Station... more of the crappy -ish disaster movies - similar scripts, but in burning towers, fucked up passenger jets, upside down big ships, and some were done in / about trains too... Find the crash scene and post the link. It would be helpful.
@sauger1001: And seeing the Silver Streak, was much more convicing as a child, and it looked totally fake, cheap and dramatised - with the accrued experience of having worked on locomotives and assorted special effects kinds of things... It looked more like a shell of a locomotive, made up as a carnival float, getting driven through a shitty shopping mall... I mean for fucks sake, who ever saw cosmetics counters going up with a flash of openly combusting black powder.... LOL Not terribly convincing as a grown up.....
@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: Agreed. My focus was more on the main actors, Pryor and Wilder. I believe it was meant to portray some WWF type scenes, as it was mostly a comedic movie, starring two more famous comedic actors of that era.
@sauger1001: Yeah I saw it in the cinema a LONG time ago.... I thought it was in NY Central station - just mixed pictures and memories, but it is the Chicago Union Station. You I am not from America... and the media here is bullshit for everything except outright lies and more bullshit.... But I think the Chicago Union Station was a great thing and then everyone shut up shop - the people stopped travelling and moved away and the station was fence and boarded up and then began to deteriorate into the decay of the ages....

Good movie. Thank you.
1:23:35. Wonder if this scene is where they got the idea for the scene in "Silver Streak"? Just asking for a friend (Popp/Blake).
1:12:34. And, the plot thickens.
