Fort Apache the Bronx (1981) Filming Locations 

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

I’m a Fireman in the Bronx for the past 20+ years, and never realized that the bodega on the Northwest corner of 173 & Clay is where they filmed the EDP with the knife scene. We drive past this location almost every tour I work. The vacant where Pam Grier kills the guy changing the tire is now the Cross Bronx Motel, and a woman’s shelter now.

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.

Finally a location video with no narration!! 👍🙏

Saw this when it came out and was a bit underwhelmed....but watched it again last year and being older i appreciated it so much more.❤️

Paul Newman was really an Actor you could respect and his line of food was also respectable and seems like even after his passing still is!

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

This is really good footage! The Bronx is my old stomping ground from the 70s through the early 2000s. I know pretty much every location shot. Brought back lots of memories as a kid. This is such a great movie! With many famous celebrities of the time oeriod, especially Paul Newman! My father was actually on location when they shot the stuff near The Cross Bronx expressway. Thanks for doing this

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!

thanks Paul Newman for all yout films

You sir are by far the Best locations channel on u tube!! Very well done! Give this man a locations net flix show!!

2700+ views & only 90 👍's....??? C'mon people...the time & effort this must have taken to find those precise filming locations deserves at minimum a click of appreciation & recognition from all viewers...& the music is excellen too...!!! A great video.....👍👍👌👌👏👏

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.

Wow! Excellent job photographing the camera angles. Nice work! 👍

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

Thank you for taking the time to put this video together. Must have been many hours of editing. This film is one of my favourite Newman flicks. Slapshot, Harper and The Drowning Pool being a few others.

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING VIDEO...THROUGH TIME YOU HAVE SHOWN SOW MUCH CHANGE ...AS A KID I WALKED BY MANY OF THESE LOCATIONS ...I SAW THE MOVIE WHEN I WAS ABOUT 8 OR SO ... I USED TO LIVE ON ANTHONY AVE. DOWN THE BLOCK FROM CLAY AVENUE AND USED TO TAKE THAT EXACT ROUTE MANY DAYS. THANK YOU FOR PRESERVING HISTORY .

Grew up on E. Tremont and Arthur Ave. 176. Me and alot of my childhood friends. We were proud to see our block in the movie. Santana was playing paddleball that afternoon. Who knows, knows..💯

I love these filming location videos and this one is the best ive ever seen!

Very well done - a good movie filmed on location in the Bronx with before and after shots . In many cases whole buildings gone , trash picked up , graffiti painted over . New York made a huge improvement here .

Very cool video, was one of my favorite movies growing up, was in 8th grade when it came out. My dad was in the textile business, he took me to the 41st and 42nd prescient s back then. So nice to see the Bronx on am up swing, great video!!

My building is the one beside the hill they chase the last guy from the dead-end ! My friends had me watch this when I was much younger but watching this now as a grown adult is even more chilling to see it! ♥️

Wow, this was incredible. I really enjoyed this, we’ll done.

NYC has changed over the place. Great video and editing. Thanks

2:13 really epitomizes how it used to look and how it looks now.

Man, all I can say is Thank You! That was Awesome!

Very well done. Love the backround music. Not sure if it is from the soundtrack or not!!

Matatan.🔥🤔🔥. Ribirin HS, Bronx NY the most dangerous place

Amazing video, love this movie.

Great video

My days riding rescue as an observer in Ft Apache

What an unbelievable video, so well organized, had to be a lot of work tracking down the locations. Excellent

Amazing how seedy the area used to be. Excellent job with this video!

I appreciate this

Underrated clip!

Rip Tito Goya Paul Newman and Ed Asner and Danny Aiello

Amazing !! Great job. Wish they would make movies like that again. Instead of the garbage that's produced now.

Very good

I worked in the 42 when they shot the movie.

Very nice, my HS buddies tell me I wouldn't even recognize Bed-Stuy. I remember we used to say, never run from an overweight cop, they will instead of giving chase.

Incredible, outstanding work. How does one get in touch with you?

6:17 2 & 5 Train at Jackson Avenue

The major difference between then and now is back then spaces were open. Less gates, less fencing off, less cars parked and way kess people. So many restrictions today in terms of your own personal mobility that it puts pressure on each individual to the point of being unable to communicate with others in your immediate surroundings. This external constricting of physical space creates an internal psychological constricting of space. When you constrict space, you are closing off areas. As a result, you create a society of people who are closing themselves off from everyone else.

WOW 😮👍👍👍👍

A great movie. Top 10 cop movie. Paul Newman is the man.

I lived by that block where the handball courts are at. Most of the guys playing I knew them. He jumped the fence. I lived on that building. Used to hangout on that fence with my boys. 176 Arthur Ave.💯❤️ That park was dangerous at night when that movie came out. No lights and robberies and rapes happened there. Messed up.

The Bronx is still dangerous, but they did clean it up.

OMG! I live near by 😜

To all the Dislikers - ''The Snake has a dance and a Snake has a style and a Snake will sneak up on you everytime, The Snake is a cold blooded killer baby...But you don't care because you too busy lookin''

Excellent work. One question: what happened to that huge church beside Estella Diggs Park? I can't seem to find it online.

0:25 That's what I love to see; A longtime business/resident (Chrstiana) that has endured all the changes around them, under them, over them and survived.

Could you do a second mugshot supercut

Freeman avenue good memories

I have the original badge from the movie

So many cars there now with out of state plates. It takes hours for me to find parking.

Wow the bronx it was like jungle Back in the days drug killing gang Vacant lot the bronx change alot Remember watching this movie Most part ill forgot that good rebuild look better now only crime still haven't changed

Aside from the shots filmed at Intervale, Hoe, and Westchester aves, just about every other scene was filmed outside of the actual 41 precinct boundaries.

Every place used to have more character back then. I don't know what has changed.

Yah bomber helmet snatcher runner was played by Lance Guecia, he died in 1999 age 40 while serving time in a NYC prison for multiple robberies of cab drivers and Korean grocers, yep a real criminal. From the grapevine I hear he was a junkie , died of an overdose in Rikers.

This really amazes me. I kept hearing about how NY is dead and never coming back during covid. Everyone was saying it. Then you watch something like this and wonder wtf those people are talking about.

Please, made a BAD BOYS (1983) filming locations video.

NYC and Toronto. We build new stuff and NYC just paints over the decay.

not a great film but love you now and then

Whyd they use 10st Manhattan instead of a bronx location? Im not complaining. I live near 10 st

Great video gonna check out more can I give you a list Hanging with the homeboys The last dragon The seven ups French connection Cotton comes to Harlem Who’s the man Fame Warriors The wanderers Once upon a time in America

HBO, Pam and Q brought me here

*Proof that things "back in the day" weren't as great as people remember it.* AND, that New York City got cleaner over time.

New York city looked dirty back in the late 70 and early 80s. It looks clean today...

Where do all this imported cars come from? In the past even the Police had real cars👍🇺🇸
