The station's mezzanine was also the main setting for the filming of Michael Jackson's music video/short film for his hit 1987 single, "Bad". It was also featured in "The Wiz" (1978) In which the characters find there self in a strange Emerald city subway with evil monsters such as chomping trashcans and subway columns that move and try to trap the characters.

I wonder if Michael ever got to ride the Coney Island Cyclone wooden roller coaster here in Brooklyn in his lifetime. I mean, everyone should at least once (except me).
