Whoever made this video knows the Bronx. Well done.

LOL....My Lil' Sister still has the toothpick Newman gave her from the scene where they were walking and talking after leaving Bar, That scene was filmed on 184th Street between Jerome and Walton Ave's

Not a word spoken, straight to the point, quite brilliantly produced . Give us more please

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.

THIS is how ALL now/then videos should be done. The care to find not only the location but the lens and exact view using that local length. That's the extra step. RESPECT for a superb production.

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.

The regeneration of south bronx is incredible, how Charlotte street in particular has changed is mind blowing 🤯

THIS REALLY MADE MY DAY THE AMOUNT OF DETAIL IS UNMATCHED WATCHED THIS MOVIE IN BROOKLYN WHEN I WAS A KID AND THE SETTING AND TONE WAS SO AUTHENTIC !!! THANK YOU

[emmettmarks]

This brings back so many memories! I can recall following different clips of this movie in the neighborhood, they used the 42 precinct house as the 41 precinct. The REAL 41 PCT house was on Simpson St. & Westchester Av.

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!

Thus is absolutely amazing!! I was involved in some of the location filming if this movie and you have done it great justice! Thank you

[gilvogt]

I loved this film, seen many times, great acting all round, especially Pam Grier

[johnzumpano]

Great video, and great film. My mom grew up on 152nd & Morris, in the late 40's through the 60's, and we have many relatives left in different parts of the Bx and buried in St. Raymond's. Over the years I have seen the Bronx change from visiting both those same relatives and paying respects. Have not been recently but it's always interesting to see the developments.

I remember the 70’s and 80’s in the Bronx. From 138st to 188th was a living hell. 179st and Burnside ave are still terrible. Great video
