1974年经典犯罪电影《夺取佩勒姆123号列车》在纽约曼哈顿取景约40个外景镜头[1]。虽然这部以地铁劫持事件为题材的影片大部分情节在地下进行，但制作团队精心选择了与剧情相符的真实地点进行拍摄。当地铁停靠在28街站附近时，警察现场指挥部就在28街和公园大道实地取景[1]。
影片的外景地包括列克星敦大道59街、格雷西官邸、FDR高速公路、联邦储备银行、沃尔街和联合广场等标志性位置[1]。这些50年前的取景地在当代城市中仍可清晰辨认[1]。
A comprehensive analysis has documented approximately 40 exterior shots from the 1974 classic crime film "The Taking of Pelham 123" across Manhattan, with detailed identification of each location's precise position within New York City [1]. Although the film's central narrative unfolds largely underground during a subway hijacking, the production team deliberately selected authentic shooting locations that aligned with the story's geography [1]. Notable exterior scenes were captured at sites including Lexington Avenue at 59th Street, Gracie Mansion, the FDR Drive, the intersection of 28th Street and Park Avenue—where the police command post was established when the subway car stopped near 28th Street station—the Federal Reserve Bank, Wall Street, and Union Square [1].
The verification of these filming locations has relied on timestamp matching and street-level comparison imagery, revealing that the vast majority of these sites remain clearly identifiable in the contemporary urban landscape more than fifty years after production [1]. A video documentation of these exterior locations is available for free viewing on YouTube, supported by advertising [1].
