- This was not Apex Mountain for De Niro or for Scorsese.
- Scorsese's Apex is debated between Raging Bull and Goodfellas; Goodfellas is favored, while another view says he has not reached it and is still going, with a joke about his next film.
- Along with Rocky, 1976 was the apex for clap pushups, the first time one participant saw anyone work out in a movie, plus the hand over the burner.
- This is Apex Mountain for disgusting mid-70s New York, which no movie captured better.
- It is not the Apex for taxis, which came with the late-70s TV show Taxi; DC Cab with Mr. T is raised and rejected.
