Description

Import All Region Blu Ray pressing. A special set featuring two of the '70' most exciting motion pictures: The French Connection and the French Connection II. "Popeye" Doyle (Gene Hackman) is a hard-bitten New York cop who tracks down an international heroin ring from his local streets to the port of Marseille. The first film is an Academy Award winning classic and the second film is the less-than-stellar follow-up that is still worthy of viewing for Hackman's performance.

70`s thrillers featuring an Oscar-winning Gene Hackman as "Popeye" Doyle. In the first film Doyle and Buddy Russo (Roy Scheider) are tough New York cops attempting to crack a drug smuggling ring. They have a small candy store under surveillance, but Doyle is not happy when he receives the order to work with a pair of French federal agents on the case, one of whom he has a long-standing feud with. Hackman and director William Friedkin both earned Oscars for the film, which also took the award for Best Picture. Whilst in the sequel Doyle (Hackman) travels to Marseilles to track down Charnier (Fernando Rey), the leader of a drug smuggling ring whom he failed to capture in the first film. Kidnapped by dealers and pumped with heroin, Doyle has to kick his new-found habit before he can set about his revenge.

Spannung, schlecht gelaunte Polizisten... Als Jugendlicher hat mir der Film grossen Eindruck gemacht. Dieser Cop-Streifen kann immer wieder gesehen werden.
Kult

dass ich den Film erst jetzt gesehen habe, ist ja ein Armutszeugnis. 1971 abgedreht, dient der Film als Grundlage für jeden weiteren Buddy-Movie (zB Lethal Weapon)... Kult!

Diese Edition ist so sagenhaft gut! Kann man immer wieder sehen. Man achte auf die Detail Scenen wo z.b. Doyle frierend vor dem Restaurant die beiden "Franzosen" observiert -köstlich- Ganz starkes Kino. Bester Polizeifilm aller Zeiten! Teil 2 der Zweitbeste!
atmosphärische und spannende Geschichte

Der erste Teil ist zwar stärker als der Zweite, trotzdem lohnen sich beide.
