Sheffield History Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 F.I.S.T Johnny Kovak joins the Teamsters trade-union in a local chapter in the 1930s and works his way up in the organization. As he climbs higher and higher his methods become more ruthless and finally senator Madison starts a campaign to find the truth about the alleged connections with the Mob Sylvester Stallone ... Johnny Kovak Rod Steiger ... Senator Madison Peter Boyle ... Max Graham Melinda Dillon ... Anna Zarinkas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrinderBloke Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Interesting but I don't see the Sheffield connection. How does Sheffield fit into the storyline? I wonder which signal box is in that second photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffield History Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 I've not watched it yet From skipping through it I think it's just the opening titles ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1SteelCity2Another Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I've not watched it yet From skipping through it I think it's just the opening titles ? Some of the opening scenes were filmed in Sheffield....Vulcan Road, Blast Lane, and a couple others. Looking at the pix above the third one is looking down the Don toward the River Don works. The first pic looks like Orgreave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bricat Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Didn't they use Sheffield as a location for industrial scenery to represent a 1930's USA steeltown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hi bricat. Yes as far as I know you are correct, here's the first ten minutes, sorry not in english. So the Americans tried to take over OUR Sheffield, but were beaten to it by the Germans!! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
