- Alain Chanier is a dapper businessman from Marseilles, France, who is in reality a drug lord working on a big score - to sell $32 million worth of 89% pure heroin to New York City. But his potential buyer - small-time hood Salvatore Boca - is being tailed by two undercover NYC cops, James "Popeye" Doyle and Buddy "Cloudy" Russo. The more Popeye and Cloudy dig, the closer they get - to where Chanier agrees to an attempt on Popeye's life that results in a brutal train hijacking and automobile pursuit, and eventually to a showdown between police and mobsters outside the city.
- Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle and Buddy Russo are Brooklyn-based NYPD narcotics detectives who often work undercover. They make a lot of arrests, but they are all of small time users, busting who which makes no dent in the NYC drug trade. While the two are out for drinks one night at a club, Popeye sees a table of people which to him doesn't seem right, the people who include an unknown "big spender" out of his league next to known organized drug criminals. Just for fun, they decide to tail the big spender and his girl. Beyond the couple's obvious suspicious activity, they find out that they are Sal and Angie Boca, small time crooks who own and operate a Brooklyn newsstand/luncheonette. Based on other evidence including information from one of their snitches of rumors of a major drug shipment entering New York, Popeye and Buddy get the official albeit reluctant OK from their superior to surveil Sal to find if he leads them to the incoming drug shipment, that surveillance including authorization for wiretaps. That surveillance does show that Sal is connected and that the probable persons selling the drugs are two Frenchmen having recently arrived in the city. It then becomes a game of cat and mouse as Sal and the two Frenchmen, Alain Charnier and his muscle Pierre Nicoli, are aware that they are being tailed, the two Frenchmen in particular who are willing to go to any lengths to protect their investment, estimated street worth of approximately $32 million. Popeye, Buddy and their third, Mulderig, who has an antagonistic relationship with Popeye due to Mulderig's belief that Popeye's police work led to the death of a colleague, have to learn when the lead is not the three men but the locale of the drugs themselves.
- What can one say about this brilliant movie filled with great suspense,an unforgettable car chase,the cat and mouse sequence between Hackman and Rey in Manhattan,the great final scene,the simple script that is worked out quite ingeniously and of course the inferior soundtrack if there ever was one.<br/><br/>The actors are great,especially Hackman. The action scenes are better,especially the car chase. The movie is simply an all time classic. 10/10
- The French Connection remains perhaps the very best police drama ever made, combining a strong storyline with audacious direction from William Friedkin, superior performances from the large cast, and the most audacious car-chase ever filmed.<br/><br/>The contrast between the main pursuer (Gene Hackman's Popeye Doyle) and the pursued (Fernando Rey's Alain Chanier) is the film's primary theme. Chanier is cultured, wealthy, debonair, with a beautiful and loving wife, a daughter, and seemingly everything going for him. Popeye Doyle is uncouth, driven, profane, often violent, and has no anchorage in his life. That the "thuggish" Popeye is a policeman while the gentlemanly Chanier is a drug dealer makes the contrasts all the more striking. <br/><br/>Of course the film is so much more - the cat-and-mouse game and internal squabbles among the two sides (Popeye's feud with FBI Agent Bill Mulderig; Sal Boca's mistakes as a novice big-time dope dealer that result in several complications with Chanier and other hoods), and the attempted hit sanctioned by Chanier on Popeye that results in filmdom's most famous automobile pursuit (a car chasing a train remains audacious) all lead to the climatic showdown outside the city, and cements the film as among the 100 greatest of all.
- Producer and screenwriter have added enough fictional flesh to provide director William Friedkin and his overall topnotch cast with plenty of material, and they make the most of it.
- The word "frog" is often used as a derogatory term for someone of French descent. When Popeye refers to Charnier as "Frog One," he's trying to distinguish Charnier from his partner, Pierre Nicoli. It can also be a way to show Popeye's generally bigoted attitude. He's deliberately trying to confuse Willy into making a confession. Poughkeepsie is a small city about 80 miles north of New York on the Hudson River. Willy may have a drug connection up there that buys product from him and sells it in that region. His line, which is somewhere along the lines of "when was the last time you picked your feet in Poughkeepsie" is basically nonsense. Repeating it and variations of it including only Poughkeepsie or just when the person has last "picked their feet", over and over in a threatening manner, is a tactic meant to bewilder the subject. While the criminal is desperately trying to figure out what this sentence is a code for, the interrogators intersperse the badgering with actual questions like "who's your connection Willie, what's his name!?" and "is it Joe the barber?" The totally confused criminal up against the wall, doesn't know what this Poughkeepsie thing is, but it sounds bad and he sure didn't do it. So to take the questioning away from this mysterious act the police think he's performed, that must be pretty terrible, Willie admits to what they really want to know out of fear. This tactic/phrase was actually developed by the character that Gene Hackman played, in real life (the movie is loosely based on a true story).

Putting the car back together after spending several hours tearing it apart would have taken at least twice as long, plus there was the actual damage they caused to the interior while ripping out upholstery, carpeting & other trim. From there it'd be a simple matter of buying a new Lincoln, pulling out the rocker panels in that one & stashing the heroin & transferring the license plates to it. a5c7b9f00b
