Also, it's a fucking movie! Be glad they used something not only resembling a New York City subway train, but also using one similar to a train one would normally see on Central Park West in 2002. I've seen some horrible examples of movies depicting the subway system. That scene in Knowing is the first that comes to mind (look it up on YouTube).

Don't get your underwear all up in knots over things most viewers wouldn't give two shits about.

All I was saying in my post was that It just resembles the 7th avenue station on the (F) line and that this was never clearly a train because the mta would not pay to cut there train in half that's all i am saying Lance so don't go getting pissed at me for some shit alright , ya I know its a movie  and so on we all have our opinions so i stated mine.

I threw in an argument saying that it was actually an R27/R30/R30A being used and not an R32, but I didn't say I wasn't happy with what they used. Also, I wasn't disappointed at all that an R32 set wasn't used in the movie. I am totally okay with an R27/R30/R30A set looking like an R32 and being used for Men In Black II. In fact, I am really amazed how the production crew or whoever was responsible for decorating the BMT car made it look this close to an R32.

As for the "people don't care about the little things" part, that's why I ended my entire argument in my second post by saying that everyone is free to believe what they want. I didn't pay much attention to the car's true identity until after I watched the YouTube clip, and it was just me getting over-excited about my findings. Obviously I know what will happen if I continued to ramble on.

Its all really irrelevant.

I'm pretty sure the entire scene was filmed with a green screen anyway. What the producers most likely did was obtain a lot of stock NYC Subway material and threw it all in a 3D production program.

You guys really arguing on a movie prop?  Honestly that whole screen looked green screened to me.

I mean I understand most of us likes the subway system and their technologies but if you guys are going to a sissy fit on the very last detail of a movie prop, then you guys should step outside.

It's okay to joke around and make small pointers but really?  Arguing on this?  Feels like I'm in a kindergarten class arguing on which crayons are better.
