Daniel Petrie’s policier, Fort Apache, The Bronx, starring Paul Newman, Ed Asner, Ken Wahl, Danny Aiello, and Pam Grier opened amid much controversy in the US, on this date.
During production residents of the Bronx protested the film claiming it would show show only the Bronx badly and ignore the good qualities. Moreover, local Bronx community groups also allegedly threatened to sue the production because of the way the picture was going to depict the Bronx and its ethnic minorities such as African Americans and Puerto Ricans. Because of this, the picture starts with a disclaimer in the prologue and script changes to the screenplay were made.
