Genres & Description

Action Crime Drama

6.8 / 10

Buddy, Barilli, Mingo and Ansel, detectives with the NYPD, comprise a secret investigative unit called the Seven-Ups, who, largely undercover, focus on cases leading to felony convictions with prison sentences of seven years or more for the criminals in question. Many within the NYPD who know about the unit don't support the idea of it because of the often unethical way they work on the cases, but their superior, Inspector Gilson, defends the unit solely because of the results. On the sly, Buddy, who is the head of the team, gets much of the information for the cases from Vito Lucia, a childhood friend who still lives and works in the old neighborhood where much of the crime is based. Vito knows that his life could be in danger if the mob finds out that he acts as a snitch for the police. After Buddy starts looking into the loan sharking business of some local mob members, unknown to him some of those mob members are shaken down for a minimum $100,000 apiece, one by one kidnapped for ...

This is a LEGEND in car chase history! In fact, you know that car crashing sound with the distinctive glass shatter sound heard at 1:40 and 2:05? Well, while there are many car crashing/glass shatter sound effects everywhere, this particular one is a very unique ans special one! Why? Because that "car crash/glass shatter" sound effect is actually used as the primary car crash sound in the 1999 action driving video game "Driver: You Are The Wheelman". I have the PC Port, however. In fact, there's PLENTY I can tell you about this sound byte! It was used in MANY car chase movies of the 70s and 80s. So far, the following is all the titles I've actually found it in: 1. Vanishing Point (1971) 2. M*A*S*H (1972-1983) 3. The Poseidon Adventure (1972) 4. The Last American Hero (1973) 5. The Seven-Ups (1973)(This film here) 6. 99 and 44/100% Dead (1974)(heard in trailer at least, I don't know if it's in the film itself or not) 7. The Towering Inferno (1974) 8. Race With The Devil (1975) 9. The French Connection II (1975) 10. The Kansas City Massacre (1975) 11. Cannonball (1976) 12. Gator (1976) 13. Silver Streak (1976) 14. Smokey & the Bandit (1977)(heard in trailer but NOT the final film) 15. The Driver (1978) 16. Hooper (1978) 17. The Hunter (1980)(heard in trailer at least, I don't know if it's in the film itself or not) 18. Eyewitness (1981)(heard in trailer but NOT the final film) 19. The Terminator (1984)(ONLY in the original mono mix) 20. Commando (1985). 21. Mischief (1985) 22. Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986)(heard in trailer at least, I don't know if it's in the film itself or not) 23. Maximum Overdrive (1986)(heard in trailer at least, I don't know if it's in the film itself or not) Of these 23 titles, 15 of them (including The Seven-Ups (1973)) are 20th Century Fox productions, which is a good reason to believe that they created it. 10 of these titles (including The Seven-Ups (1973)) have this sound effects guy who went by the name of Theodore Soderberg in the sound effect credits, making me believe that it was his sound. However, considering that nobody bothers to claim ownership of the sound byte, I simply took it upon myself to not only adopt it for my own sound effects library, but also feel free to utilize it in my OWN movies, including my first full-length film, "Return of the Black Thrasher: The Movie" (2009)! I even have it as my default notification sound on my Android mobile phone! I swear to God that there's no better car crash sound effect than the sound byte I speak of. Oh, even now, I'm STILL looking for this sound byte in other movies. BTW, I subscribed. - @Wednesday, January 3, 2018 2:09 AM

Isn't it kind of a coincidence that Roy Scheider plays a NY cop here, and in Jaws Roy plays Brody. A cop originally from New York. - @Saturday, March 11, 2017 3:24 AM

This is an under-rated 70s movie with a leading actor, who in my opinion, is just as talented as Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman or Marlon Brando. Roy Schneider doesn't get the credit he deserves, he made some big films. - @Tuesday, April 26, 2016 6:25 PM

Roy Scheider became a mega Hollywood star do to the success of THE SEVEN-UPS. The movie that would bring him star power status and clout would come in 1975 with the phenomenon JAWS that cemented his status as one of Hollywood's top action box-office stars. - @Wednesday, March 19, 2014 11:39 PM

THE SEVEN-UPS was one of the great crime drama movies that were all over the place during the early-1970's. Upon its release,it was a runaway box-office hit becoming one of the top ten highest grossing films of 1973. A spectacle that is ranked right up there with "Serpico", "The Friends of Eddie Coyle", "Badge 373", "Across 110th Street", and "Mean Streets" as one of the great cop thrillers and crime dramas that gave New York City its grimy gritty hardcore feel. - @Wednesday, March 19, 2014 11:37 PM

Wow! I remember the movie loft! I used to see WSBK on cable down in CT. Its host used to do the weekly lottery show here. WSBK was a great indie station in its day, they had exclusive rights to Red Sox and Bruins games, ran classic films, 3 Stooges Marathons on New Years Eve, thanks for the flashback - @Sunday, March 3, 2013 5:14 PM
