Such a beautifully produced and acted film, which unfortunately shows us that things haven’t changed all that much on the New York subways in 50 years. People like to say “things are so bad now,” but unfortunately, they’ve always kind of been bad. And heroes few.

1960s. Tough scrappy people in New York. Scary. Dangerous. Mean. I grew up in Southern British Columbia, truly a land of milk and honey, with lakes & beaches, orchards & tourism. People were very nice, a basic necessity for the tourist trade. My father was a suit & tie white collar business man and my beautiful mother worked as bookkeeper for the local newspaper office, my older sister and I had a comfortable middleclass upbringing. As a young child, aged 5 or 6, it was my job to iron my dad's handkerchiefs which I enjoyed doing, entrusted with the important job of ironing made me feel grown up. Those days are long gone, nothing is as it was, and I haven't ironed anything in decades. Wish I could go back in time to those exquisite days of mom's cooking, peaches & beaches & good clean fun, when everything was aquamarine ... aquamarine.

[@margl6635]

Distressing movie. Had to skip through a lot of it. I'm from BC as well and I remember those days in southern BC. Camping trips with our own boats, tents and loading up the camper with fresh fruit on the way home. These were our vacations. Paddling up lakes, hiking, real campsites with real campfires and outdoor cooking. I can still smell the bacon and you never worried about dangerous people. It would be completely out of the ordinary.

Director: Larry Peerce. The Incident is a 1967 American neo noir crime-thriller film written by Nicholas E. Baehr, based on his teleplay Ride with Terror (which had been previously adapted as a 1963 television film) and directed by Larry Peerce.

What a find , i saw this years ago and it still packs a punch . Unfortunately this is 60 years later and the rot still continues to permeate our city our subways and our lives. Every day . People mugged killed thrown to the tracks . But these were psychopaths. These days normal is a homeless woman set on fire and killed . And our mayor says its perception. Thank Gd for guys like Daniel Penny who took action . God help us all. Happy New Year!

[@xmillion1704]

The behavior of these two thugs is a far cry from the behavior of a mentally ill homeless man yelling at passersby, which provoked Penny’s feelings.

[@nanwilder2853]

This was a very well made film : Perfectly cast, staged, lit, scripted, directed, edited, and-especially-acted! Ed McMahon-who spent all those years being Johnny Carson’s sidekick-surprised me with his nuanced performance ; I had no idea he was such a skilled actor! Beau Bridges, who’s made quite a few “paycheck” movies in his time, was also excellent. In fact, there wasn’t a weak actor in the whole ensemble! Including the little girl, who never made a sound throughout the entire train scene. . . As for the two criminals who held the train car hostage, the standout performance is Tony Musante’s, though of course (the young) Martin Sheen was great, as always. I know that he went on to have a long and very successful career, but I know nothing about Musante, who had the more demanding role in this film, “The Incident”.(Unfortunately, whoever posted this left us with almost no info on this 1967 production, and I’m curious about the screenwriter, as well.) Every minute of screen-time held this viewer’s attention, and I recommend that you watch it too! Happy New Year/2025 fellow film-lovers. . . .

Yeah Musante's movie for sure, like the Toecutter in Mad Max, these great characters by unknown actors.

Something similar (phenomenon) I witnessed when I was traveling by train, it was late at night, the train was quite full and as I walked down the aisle I wondered why there seemed to be room a little ahead, when I came across it turned out that there was a dark man sitting on the chair drinking beer , every time he made eye contact with a passenger he shouted ...... GET THE FUCK OFF MY TRAIN and laughed , so no one dared to do anything at all, everyone just looked at the ground and was careful to the last not to make eye contact with the man.

This was one of the scariest films I ever saw in my life. The real scary thing about this is these people really do exist. My name is David. I am 57 years old and I live in southeast Pennsylvania. I grew up with these types of people in New Jersey for well over 20 years and I am telling you the absolute fact that these people do exist. They are hurtful, harmful, and absolute Sociopaths. That is the term they give people who think they are never wrong no matter how wrong they are. I tell you something else, if we are made in God's image then I feel sorry for God!

What's the take away Here? Stay away from these "Gun Safe Zones". If only one of these law abiding citizens would have been carrying an adequate pistol, yes against the law, but if one man on the subway car would have had a defensive pistol, preferably a 1911 45 ACP pistol, loaded and chambered. That one man could have kept the people on this train from being harmed terrorized and possible even killed. But, it's against the law?

[@MarkFoster321789]

This and IN COLD BLOOD also from the same year of 1967 were the last black and white films to come from Hollywood though in this case of THE INCIDENT, 20th Century Fox financed this on a low budget and therefore it can be seen as a early example of a independently produced film with studio backing.

What a dumb film- there's a reason this is not remembered as a good film, considering the excellent cast. While the premise seems at first somewhat believable- it quickly spirals into the ridiculous prosaic cliche's so many poorly devised films do. In real life, the emergency cord would have been pulled, which would not only stop the train but have brought the train staff- and the cops! Not only that- in real life these two idiots would have been mauled by the passengers within 2 minutes- especially back then. Anyone who's been to New York and spent some time on the subway knows they don't tolerate much or for long - harmless crazy is common and ignored where possible-but threatening is not.
