The French Connection
Kole 2022-04-18 17:34:52
The anti-drug story adapted from Robin Moore's real work has won five awards for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Editing. The story tells the story of two New York police officers who pursued it relentlessly and finally cracked a massive heroin smuggling case from France. Director William Friedkin brings cop movies to a new world of entertainment with a tight and lively approach. The location of the whole film was shot in New York and Marseille, with a strong sense of realism. The tracking scene in the film is very well done, especially the scene where the car chases the viaduct train in parallel has become a classic for the speeding scene. Jean. Hackman played the rugged police detective "Pop" (Popeye), and his dynamism made him an international superstar.

Walt Simonson: Your hunches have backfired before, Doyle, or have you forgotten that already? Jesus Christ, Jimmy, what's happened to you guys lately? Every year you lead the narcotics bureau in arrests. What was it, over 100 again last year? Terrific, but who? What did you bring in? A high school kid in short pants that had a twitch? You grab a bellhop because he's got 3 joints in his sock?

Buddy "Cloudy" Russo: What was the weight of the car when you got it, Irv?
Police Mechanic: 4795 pounds.
Buddy "Cloudy" Russo: You sure?
Police Mechanic: That's what it was: 4795 pounds when it came into the shop.
Buddy "Cloudy" Russo: Owners manual says 4675. That's 120 pounds overweight. And when it was booked into Marseilles it was 4-7-9-5. That's still 120 pounds overweight! Jimmy's gotta be right.
Police Mechanic: [Defensively] Listen, I ripped everything outta there except the rocker panels.
Jimmy 'Popeye' Doyle: C'mon Irv, what the hell is that!
