Re: NYC Subways - the good stuff
From the Dondi book- " For the shoot, Ahearn was granted wage of the yard ( m yard) and permission to spray on one broken subway car. When LEE declined to be filmed inside the yard, Ahearn hired Dondi to double for him. Shrouded in a doo-rag, he was filmed entering the yard, hitting one of the trains parked there, and getting chased by two d's(one of whom was played by IZ THE WIZ). Later, a realistic prop train was constructed in a sound stage and Dondi again doubling as Zoro,executed a Zoro portrait. On his own, Dondi created the Wild Style whole car. His amazing car appeared in the film, and set the aesthetic tempo for the entire production. "
