The top mistakes in The Taking of Pelham 123 http://www.moviemistakes.com/film7865 en Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:55:39 +0000 150263 When they give Garber the pistol to take, it has actually changed when he pulls it out of the bag, it's an entirely different pistol. 149855 Towards the end of the movie when the single train car is rushing down the Coney Island bound F line, you see different camera shots of the train above ground. One of the shots shows the train speeding past Shea Stadium, which is actually located in Queens on the 7 line. 149968 The Brietling John Travolta is wearing is different from scene to scene when he is on board the train. One watch has 3 dials; the other none. 150972 During the scene where Ramus is shutting down the power in the tunnel, he shoots off a padlock with a gun with one shot. Aside from being quite dangerous at close range, both Mythbusters and Masterlock have proven this cannot be done with an ordinary gun and ammo, and certainly would be unlikely with one try. I know this used to be run-of-the-mill stuff in movies, but it does not fit modern research that has been done concerning the strength of padlocks vs using guns to open them. 150682 When the bad guys go though the hidden exit, they're identified at being around 33rd street. They take an elevator up to the Waldorf Astoria kitchen. This is impossible as the Waldorf is on 50th Street.
