Sam Raimi wanted the movie to be set in an "idealized" New York City, including elevated trains. The scenes featuring fighting on the exterior of a commuter train amidst a crowd of skyscrapers were filmed in Chicago, Illinois, on the famous elevated Loop standing in for what most likely is the IRT Ninth Avenue Line (torn down in 1940, with routes transferred to underground subway lines). Chicago 'L' trains, in particular, 2200 series cars (recognizable by their blinker type doors), were made up to appear as R-train cars, complete with MTA New York City Subway decals and "Bay Ridge" on their destination boards, even though the shots of the buildings are those of Lexington Avenue - including the balcony bridge that connects parts of Hunter College - which are on the Upper East Side, which is serviced by the IRT Lexington Avenue Line (4, 5, and 6 trains).
