U.S., 1967
Directed by Larry Peerce
Starring Martin Sheen, Tony Musante
Approx. 107 min.
World’s longest subway ride, as punks Martin Sheen and Tony Musante (in their debuts) terrorize late night passengers (including a broken-armed soldier Beau Bridges and tightwad dad Ed “Heeeere’s Johnny!” McMahon) on a Grand Central-bound express from the Bronx. Filmed on a train mock-up, with shots of vintage locations stolen with hidden cameras.
