Eddie was my dads good friend. I met him so many times in the 70's ...i never knew he was a cop...great guy eddie!! I still have letters he sent my dad over the years!
Two days ago was Gene Hackmans 92nd birthday! Happy Birthday to Popeye Doyle. I believe that part 2 of The French Connection portrays going cold turkey from heroine the BEST I've ever seen on the silver screen.
Friedkin says he never read the novel in its entirety. However, there are so many (sometimes verbatim) parallels that that is a bit hard to swallow. The scene in the subway, the accidental confrontation with Sal in the garage, the animosity between the detectives and their colleagues from the FBI . . . I could name a dozen other instances.
I hate driver's who have to look at the person when they are speaking it drive's me nuts . You are not being impolite if you do not look at the person , it is considered good , responsible safe driving when you constantly keep your eye on the road . I just recently saw again French Connection and French Connection II timeless , never get tired of it many many times of enjoying it over the years . The car chase with the L Train what brilliance , and great shots . Beautifully casted and acted
I've just received both "French Connection 1 and 2" on DVD yesterday and I remember this fascinating documentary on the second disc of the first film. I have seen both films many times and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Gene Hackman's performance in the first film was amazing and his Academy Award win was well deserve! I'm glad that he had stuck with the role, when he was wanting to give up on the role because of Billy Friedkin's treatment of him on the set.
Beg to differ with Randy Jugersen about the back shooting scene....the Frenchman tried to kill Popeye and may have murdered a civilian who was hit instead....not withstanding the cop and the conductor who was shot on the train a police officer under NYS law is justified in shooting a fleeing murderer whether he is armed or not in the back, front, side, top or bottom. Same for a fleeing arsonist or rapist....pretty sure a terrorist is good to go too now days. At least that's the way it was explained to me in a law class at the NYPD Police Academy in 1986.
At 1:00:46 the guy is describing the shoot in the back scene. Look at the woman at the bottom of stairs, impatient for them to finish filming so she can walk up.
Please someone help me. I have been getting attacked or someone is trying to run dea around me. Puts out worst people around me. Also has a computer man with me. Shultz Watson datson and Netherland and whites and walker and now Maine and Atlanta. Please help this is been going on for 13 years but 23 years with Terry noble and Lyle's. And for 49 years
More heroin cut with Fentanyl crosses the Southern USA vis Mexican gangs several times a day!! END THE STUPID FUCKING WAR ON DRUGS ALREADY!! More hopeless than Hackman!!!
Heroin, not coke . A kilo of pure heroin is way more expensive than cocaine , one pure kilo of heroin is turnt into 10 damn near by the time it’s cut broken down and sold on corners .
More and more illusions, the labryinths within labryinths, the the drops of water in the cast oceans and seas. Here is a documentary The Real French Connection, after which the film French Connection was inspired. The film French Connection was set in Marseille which is a hub port just like Amsterdam. There are just too many illusions, and we like blind sheep are blinded by illusion upon illusion and we begin to believe the illusions and become a part of the illusions.
American Gangster was much better, but...from an uptown apartment to a knife on the “A” train It’s not that far From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement It’s not that far

The score for the end credits is so awfully haunting. You can’t listen to it without giving a chill.

I rate The French connection I and The French Connection II 10/10.Both brilliant from different directors.Both perfection.

Fantastic picture.

Goddamn, Friedkin is friggin HILARIOUS!
IT ALL CAME TOGETHER ON THE "BIG SCREEN" LIKE A CINEMATIC GENESIS FABLE, EVERYTHING IN THE RIGHT
PLACE,,,,,,,,,,AT THE RIGHT TIME !
The actor from Belle de Jour Friedkin wanted to play Alain Charnier’s character was Michel Piccoli.
Hollywood types could never understand guys like Eddie. I woulda loved this guy.
Eddie was why alot of guys went on the job. Obviously total different nowadays. . Still a great a great cop.. Different breed.
Thanks
Faaaaaantastic 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Hackman was amazing in the movie.
Where does Angelo Tuminaro picture in all of this?
Patsy Fuca's uncle.
Mark , awesome! Met a bloke in New York who had made love with him in once . The love happened in France strangely enough.
I wonder what Egan thought of Serpico.And they don't talk about how Egan was racist.
The one detail missing here about Eddie Egan is that he was a major racist. Read Billy Friedkin's memoir, The Friedkin Connection.
call the police.
they should have gotten Jimmy Cagney!
