THE FRENCH CONNECTION - 1971

Regarded by many as one of the greatest car chases ever and yet its one of the most dangerous and, in my opinion, ill advised additions to any motion picture.
Yes its magnificent on screen, but the chase had moments where the the car being driven by actor Gene Hackman was travelling at high speeds in actual traffic and not stunt drivers as you would expect.

BILL HICKMAN was the coordinator and did a great deal of the driving too.

Lets explore the chase and find out a bit more shall we?
