The Seven-Ups (1973) Filming Locations | Then & Now 

Such an underrated film with my favorite Roy Scheider!

Manhattan and NYC doesn't look like this much anymore-it was gritty and tough in those days!

Amazing research. As a native NYer I loved this movie for its location shots. I suddenly have a yearning for a chock-full-o-nuts 55¢ tuna sandwich

11:17 That was my street in the 60s-early 70s, Riverside Drive in Hamilton Heights Manhattan! There was a shot of my building in the film between during the chase scene 139th and 140th, a 24-floor brick building called, The Riverview Towers (built in the 60s).

Wow, excellent research and editing work here, very interesting to see what is (more or less) still there, what has become better over the years, what has been destroyed, what has survived as if nothing happened in these past decades. Loved that intenste movie a lot, not as well known as Bullit or French Connection, but definetely of the same quality level, be it with a different approach in a different setting. Hats off from Belgium for the makers of the movie, the filming locations update and the uploader !

7:28 -- That's me (at age 20) on the left side near the fence with the camera crew. The crew let me tag along for two whole days. I love it how they kept this shot in the film, well of course the action is passing by really fast. The next shot here is one of the ones that were filmed from this vantage point.

Excellent matching work 👏

Just watched this movie on RU-vid. Many years since first time. Incredible effort putting this together. Really interesting on how run down alot of the locations were compared with today. Some hardly any change which is always nice when looking back. Top job ! 👏

Thanks for the experience bro!!! 😎👍

7:13 I love the fact that there’s a bicycle shop in that same building 50 years later

Great movie! I was trying to find Max's home, and I found it. Thank you!

THANK GOD I HAVE THIS EPIC FILM ON DVD..💯💯💯🙏🙏💜💜💜💜💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Fantastic. I absolutely love the movie and grew up in New York. I always wanted to do exactly what you did.

Thank you so much. This is so great. I grew up in NY City and I know change must happen but I loved NY back then .

just watched this flick ! love the scouting

Yeah, it’s great! I love this kind of thing, seeing how much or little a place has changed! I often look at building windows to identify an area and see if it’s the same spot. Thanks for all this work!,

Crazy! Wow, just wow! Abslutely fantastic, who made this video.

Some scenes today had leaves and green grass which makes things look so much nicer.

Excellent contribution. In addition to the evident, what I most like is your music selection and the 70s cars (as an European, they were “different”).

Love these!

Impressive work. Nice quality too.

Great job with this!

Underrated movie love RS

Magnificent job

Excellent work! The rare 1970s film where many of the locations are still in tact. The one missing location is the police precinct The Seven Ups operate out of. An unconfirmed source told me it was filmed at the 94 Precinct in Greenpoint Brooklyn. That building is also unchanged, but we need confirmation that it is the actual location.

Great work and research!

4:33 Check out how that sapling grew into a large tree in 50 years. 6:49 All the young trees are now covering the streets.

Excellent job!!!!

Absolutely outstanding

That is AMAZING WORK

Roy Scheider was a good actor Saw this movie way Back 1973 Great Movie Great job

A lot more signs in the modern world. I wonder if we're being controlled more!? That aside, as a lifeong Seven Ups and Roy Scheider fan, I really appreciate your appreciation of the movie. Yes, I saw it. I saw my first Bond movie, Live and Let Die, in the summer of the year this movie came out, and for a 12-year-old, car chase movies became irresistable! Had to see this one. And Roy was much more personable for a kid than a lot of the mains in other action movies such as Gene Hackman and Steve McQueen. In this video, it is amazing to see what is still there and what has changed, but glad to see some of those trees are still there and more filled out!

A+ on the music!

9:29 I suspect the Civil Jail building had been recently closed at the time, so it was a ready-made filming location both inside and out. The Seven-Ups squad room and the holding cell where they pressure Joe Spinnel to talk may likely have been inside that address. 9:53 at the time of filming, the few unimproved blocks of Erskine place where the action takes place was still called Bassett Avenue 10:30 indicated by the street sign visible behind Richard Lynch.

Thank you

I love when they film in old New York .😏

Bulitt Ford Mustang vs. Seven Ups Pontiac Ventura. I'll vote for the Ventura.

7:25 You can see ONE of the film crews standing on the sidewalk, with the camera, just behind a white Ford wagon and in front of a mass of cranes. 7:30 The afore mentioned Ford Wagon passes in front of that other camera, and in the park up the hill in the distance is the location of the other camera, that just shot the previous scene.

Got to watch some of the car chase in NYC in person

Nicely done

Excellent!

BEST MOVIE EVER Weed Me WOULD LOVE TO BEEN ON THE GREYHOUND BUS

BRAVO!!!!!!

Excellent

Another classic bill hickman wild ride through town chase

How about the filming locations for Badge 373 (1973)?

As good a car chase as the French Connection---luv Freidkin

Great movie! I

And the great Joe Spinnel! Willie Cheechi!

Bravo! I see my house at 3:31

I was in the 8th grade when i saw it...i sneaked in

7ups are supposed to be a secretive force,but when the social media hears it from the police its no secret anymore. So stupid, When the social media hadn't heard of this group they Bring it up. 😂

GOOGLE MAP AND DROP A P📌N ON THE AREA WHERE HE SLAMMED INTO THE TRAILER 😮.... Weed Me

Lost me with the music !

Very nice job, my man. Bravo.

Brilliant work!! Thank you for this magnificent upload!

Absolutely PHENOMENONAL!!!! Lifelong NYC resident. I was 3 when this came out and thus is the NYC I remember when I was a kid. BEYOND EXCELLENT WORK!!!

Fantastic! A true labor of love

now that is detailed work! very impressive!

Awesome job. Been looking for some of these locations for a while.

Well Done. Amazing changes, but good to see that one bicycle shop survived (7:13)!

Loved this, one of my favorite movies.

Great work, thanks for the 50th anniversary present!

Amazing!- makes me want to watch this movie again on 2 screens, just to pause and check the 'Then' and 'Now' locations!

Great work!

This was Absolutely awesome. Thanks. Just subscribed 🎉

very well done

Best car chase, period

Some of these location haven't changed and some are unrecognizable greatj job done here❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

4:40 my mom lived in that exact apt in 2000 …. That’s my hospital SBH 🔥🔥🔥🔥 … you should’ve showed the 3rd Ave El train as they were approaching Third Ave …. 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

It's cool as hell so much looks the same. I always loved how heavy and gritty the movie was. The car chase was just the cherry on the sundae.

great job my friend, i was 18 years old when they pass thrue 96 st Between Columbus and Amsterdam i used to live in the 2nd floor and i witness the car chase from my apartment window in 1973 it was real man great movie ?

Rest in peace to some of the main cast of actors and production who help make this film possible ❤❤❤❤

My freind Barry Weitz was the Exec Producer on this film.

Super interesting. Seen the movie several times, have to go watch it again now.

I commend you for such an excellent video.

I liked the way NYC in the past better

Very little has changed.

Damn! Strong work!!!
