Speaking of shootouts on subway-surface trains, there's a scene from 48 Hours
(the movie - not the sub-par CBS show) where Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy are
chasing a suspect through the Muni tunnel in San Francisco.  Similar setting
for a recent episode of the Don Johnson TV show "Nash Bridges".  I also saw a
TV show from the 70's (can't recall which one -- I think Robert Urich might
have been in it) where police are chasing a suspect into the BART tubes.
