This sequel to the Oscar-winning The French Connection picks up almost exactly where the earlier film leaves off. Still on the trail of drug kingpin Frog One ( Fernando Rey ), narcotics officer Popeye Doyle ( Gene Hackman ) leaves his Manhattan stomping grounds and heads for Marseilles. There, Popeye is captured by Frog One's minions, who pump him full of drugs in hopes of turning the cop into a hopeless junkie. After a grueling "cold turkey" treatment, Popeye is up and about and chasing after the villains. Unlike the first film, Doyle catches up with Frog One and metes out justice. — Hal Erickson |
