I have to watch that movie one of these days. Tony Scott (may he rest in peace) was pure gold, as is Quentin Tarantino.

You should.

Tony Scott's Man on Fire is one of my all time favorites.

I don’t know how familiar you are with major thoroughfares in America, but near where my parents live, the main route is called Smithtown By Pass (New York State Route 347), Nesconset Highway in the Town Of Brookhaven.

The traffic problems on this road are mostly fixed in the Town Of Smithtown (where I often jokingly used to A Nightmare On Smithtown By Pass; occasionally, I still do). The traffic problems in the Town Of Brookhaven, however are still severe (where I often jokingly say A Nightmare On Nesconset Highway).

Where I live in Farmingdale, I often jokingly say A Nightmare On Broad Hollow Road (New York State Route 110, which also has severe traffic problems). New York State Route 25 in Suffolk County west of William Floyd Parkway (Suffolk County Road 46) has the highest fatality rate for bicyclists, motorists and pedestrians in the Tri State Area, possibly the highest fatality rate for all three on the east coast of the USA.

Depending on where you are on 25 in Suffolk County on the west side of William Floyd Parkway, I often jokingly say the following: A Nightmare On Jericho Turnpike or A Nightmare On Middle Country Road.
