Finally this page has been made!
Thanks Jackbel. I haven't been able to find this movie at any local stores. I have a list of several relatively obscure movies that I plan on buying and this is one of them. But my Amazon shopping spree is still a few months away and I was hoping somebody would make this page. Good work by the way. When I get this movie my classic "Tough Cop" collection will be complete.

This is a nice selection of movies. I would also add Don Siegel's Coogan's Bluff Rafa 12:27, 23 October 2011 (CDT)
backup guns in the movie
I find interesting that 2 of the “Seven Ups” carry backup guns. This is frequently seen in movies today, but it was uncommon in 1973. If I am not wrong, the story was written by a real NYCPD officer, Sonny Grosso (who was the partner of Eddie "Popeye" Egan). I guess that the carrying of back-up guns by the actors in the movie was suggested by him.
Jerry Leon, as “Mingo” carries both a revolver in a shoulder holster, and a 1911 in a hip holster.
Also, Victor Arnold, As “Barilli”carries two snub-nose revolvers, one in an upside-down shoulder holster and the other in a hip holster. Note also spare ammo on Barilli’s shoulder holster (If memory serves, Steve McQueen used a similar holster and ammo carrier in “Bullitt” Rafa 15:28, 20 October 2011 (CDT)
