This is the trailer for The Taking of Pelham 123 which is actually a remake of a 1974 film about a subway hijacking starring Walter Matthau. In this latest version, John Travolta and Denzell Washington play a couple of regular, working-class Joe Wifebeaters. You can tell by their facial hair, you see. Anyway, this movie looks pretty boring. But you know what wouldn’t be? An Asian kid named “Denzell.” Think about it.

That Denzel…he never rocks the mic with the pantyhose…now Travolta – whooooole other story.
Subway hijacking? Been there, done that. Got fired.
Before his passing, Jet Travolta was very excited to see The Taking of the Pelham 123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930…
That Travolta…what a Metro Cad! Am I right ladies? Ladies?!?
Michelle, I wonder which one of them has a doo doo rhyme, though.
Jay Z: If I watched 99 movies, this wouldn’t be one. Hit me!
Meanwhile, Screen Gems is producing a movie about a couple of regular, working class predators who hijack a merry-go-round, starring Sinbad and Christian Slater. Prepare for the thrill ride that is The Taking of Peter, 12
It was a little bit frightening, those cats were fast as lightning.
So is this a Trilogy that they’ve made all at once?
If Nic Cage were in this, guarantee he’d throw a body off the Subway car with the line map written on it to let authorities know where they’re headed.
After careful consideration, the hijackers demanded “a lifetime supply of cream soda and a getaway subway!”
In Travolta’s imagination, if he kissed Denzel, their mustaches would stick together like velcro and they’d remain that way forever.
Subway Highjacking? Is that when Jared fights for creative control?
Am I the only one who thought that said Travolta and Denzell are Godzilla fighters and thought best movie ever?
You need to spice up the title of this post with some alliteration. I suggest “A Pair of Pugilistic Prison Pussies”
Personally, I’d rather see a film about a quick acting decongestant.
The Taking of Phlegm 123
Seriously, Universal Pictures, listen to me: Travolta, Denzell, Godzilla, Diora Baird’s rack, Summer 2011, make it happen.
Densel Washingto is pissed that he keeps getting the parts Mario Van Peebles passes over.
One day, one day his breakthrough will come.
Hijacking a subway? That’s as retarded as hijacking a train. What retard would make that movie?

Oh.
Denzell working with Travolta? I smell the backside of somebodies careeeeeer aaaaaarc.
Hint: Not Travolta.
Stepping onto a set to act opposite John Travolta must feel the same as stepping onto that soft-core porn set for the first time. Sure, you’re working, but damned be your dignity.
Holy, Crap… There was an actor in Under Siege 2 named Patrick Kilpatrick? Sweet name.
I took some Pelham 122 once. Blew my fucking mind man!
Goatee fighting, more like old, fat, bloated, and washed up fighting. this movie could be ‘Speed 3: wrong side of the tracks’.
Would Tony Scott actually have the barefaced cheek to pitch this to a studio?
“Have you ever seen The Taking of Pelham One Two Three? A pretty cool seventies movie about a subway hijack starring Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw. They were big in the seventies. No? Well if you had, it’s gonna be pretty much like that. Look, i’ve got Denzel, just give me the fucking money. Dicks.”
Oh boy. Good job, alma mater.

Oh, that facepalm is copied from the Betfair forums, often seen directly after someone of questionable intelligence has posted something typically idiotic. *shrugs shoulders* I like it. Vince’s link has a pic which reminded me of it.
