The French Connection (1971) Trailer

[sneakykebab]

This is one of the greatest movies of all time! My father used to talk abut it when i was a kid growing up in Dublin, I only saw it for the first time 20 years later a few months back & it blew me away!

[92af]

French Connection is much better than The Godfather is

[empyreon1e]

@92af The French Connection's a good movie, great even, but "The Godfather" is a masterpiece from start to finish. Not even close.

[wataki2]

looks awesome. 2012

[penntarun]

Top 5 greatest moives OF ALL TIME

[STP43FAN1]

Still the best cop film ever made, mixing humor (the visual of Doyle as Santa Claus beating up a pusher; Cloudy alternately trying to stop Doyle from killing the guy but all but ready to do it himself) with toughness, glitter (Chanier and Devereaux) and grit (Doyle and Russo's efforts and their feud with Mulderig and Simonson), and powerful action (Doyle chasing the El in a car; the crematorium shootout).

[camelpospisil]

I remember when i saw French Connection for the first time...i had goose bumps and sweaty hands the whole movie...Gene was such a badass here

The sequel is also amazing

For me best two movies I have ever seen

[amsid23]

WTF happened to hollywood ? now that the movie industry is so developped and technology is great why can t they make great movies like this one . OMG i think that after scorsese and eastwood hollywood will ... !

[colpetne]

@amsid23 there are plenty of great modern movies they're just not the big budget hollywood blockbusters we're at a time when box office gross or budget doesn't matter much

[ChancellorChan]

did i just watch the whole movie?

jk11531:

The French Connection should NEVER be touched nor it should NEVER be remade. Its a dishonor and a disgrace to one of the greatest American actors ever Gene Hackman. And you think The Coen Brothers should redo this 1971 classic? I don't think so. Leave it the hell alone. Don't even touched it!

[Jcm9991]

Awesome movie. I watched it for the first time last night and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Gene Hackman is such a good actor.

[jk1153]

The Coen brothers redid True Grit in honor of the great american actor John Wayne, Lets hope they redo The French Connection in honor of the greatest american actor Gene Hackman.

[thatfilmgeekguy]

@jk1153 Gene Hackman, and Gene Hackman alone, will always be Popeye Doyle. Nobody else has a chance, i'm sorry. He is my favourite actor and this is his very best performance in one of my favourite films. And the coen brothers remaking the french connection just wouldn't fit at all - it's like getting kubrick to direct a 24 episode. The only director who would come close is david fincher, who wouldn't do it. But, man, if they even consider remaking this, I will lose ALL faith in hollywood.

[noreaga12326]

one of the greatest movies ever. Can someone please upload the entire move? thanks

[Hakan7012]

wo bleibt die deutsche version?

where is the german version?

[hughdern]

Great movie filmed on location. You can't duplacate this movie. This was an era where Hollywood had the technology, and freedom to go to a lot of places and just film. Nowadays there are a lot of rules, strict permits, and lawsuits. That’s why you don’t get realism anymore.

[majesticmaniac]

fuck gene is underrated...the man is a pacino in his own right

[badcompanyization]

Good movie, mediocre trailer. They've improved so much since then.

[cha5]

@badcompanyization Outstanding movie with a chase sequence that has never been equaled, screw all CGI car chases now and forever.

One thing I really like about this trailer is that the gritty voiced narrator is none other than Eddie Egan (the reallife Popeye Doyle who along with his partner Sonny Grosso made the actual French Connection heroin bust back in 1962)

[sayno2lolzisback]

railway chase = driver 2 = questionable games...

[jody808]

such a great gritty, New York, seventies movie

[cosmicrider287]

awesome,awesome movie.

[alexandreleverrier]

This guy had one big pair of balls, back in those days the French connection were killing prosecutors and judges.

[wiedep]

the stories ain't there now...

I Like Dis Video Bhaji! Good Job :)

[THX1205]

Fine Action Film! An American Classic!

[AJWP4]

Clint Eastwood would be awesome for Hackman's role

[joshliamdunne]

gene hackman looks a lot like kevin spacey

[Beerlejuice]

Movies looked so much better back then, the film actually looks like real life. All the movies made nowadays look too clean and too polished there's no gritty, dirty realism anymore.

[Pennybrewster]

crime caper

[92af]

French Connection is one of the best movies ever

[zippyman818]

Classic line: "..he's spreadin' it around like the Russians are in Jersey!"

[omegamann71]

The French Connection is one of the greatest movies of all time !!

[61vanilla]

Genius GENE is MY French-CONNECTION !

LOVE it !!!

[mikimile1]

very good movie

[5litreho]

Don't forget about the 1970 Continental Mark III that stared throughout this movie.....

[psufan001]

i saw this movie on saturday night and it is indeed the shit.

[Cardiff67235]

Just AMAZING.........

[Zlink100]

[paint9er]

[oldpangloss]

Dundun............ dun dun dun dundun.

[nuMbERsRuNN3R]

Fucking class. I love this movie and it's soundtrack

[codobac]

true gifted movie a masterpeace love the car chase scene in new york in 71 oh by the way also love the scene where popeye chase frog one

[Dudufrias]

Does anyone have this with the audio properly synchronized?

[nopiensovendimiar]

Fernando Rey is an incredible actor and Alain Charnier is the best bad guy I never seen.

[nicolchap1]

better than Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men ??

[nopiensovendimiar]

Much better, undoubtedly.

Alain Charnier is the bad-guy bcharacter most elegant. It's easy to empathize with him.

[forestgumpaed]

A must see film before you die,believe me Awesome.

[YouQube05117]

What`s my name?

Doyle, Mr.Doyle.

[KentAllard]

that sounds like Eddie Egan doing the narration

[gareththefireman]

Its the grittiness of it all. Freezing early 70s New York streets; violent racist cops; the car chase; the culture clashes. Its a fuckin masterpiece.

[brendabaloyan]

This is one hell of a Movie! A true Classic! They don't make them like this anymore!

[tiktokz1]

nathan is a cool jew

[Suazovic]

Doyle ia a Badass

[leventdepevent]

one of the best movies from the seventies together with...serpico and the godfather prt 1

[didiwrestling]

don't forget chinatown, man!

[hauntedmythcaves]

The guy directing a play I'm in was an extra in the subway scene. Pretty neat.

[railguns]

Gene Hackman starred...I've got to see it.

[deibid2003]

this movie is #70 in the AFI's list of greatest american movies of all time. Im watching all the movies of the list online in this site:

blogger-films.blogspot. *com

[abracadabra287]

gene hackman is a bundle of rage.

[MacsinAmsterdam]

I read that the Director took every chance to piss him off. It worked.

[RobertArchibaldShaw]

THE BEST COPS MOVIE!!!!!!!!

[capetown99]

French Connection, Serpico,

Godfather, Taxi Driver, Dog Day.

American cinema needs to get back to this somehow, someway.

[Stealth1873]

@capetown99 Your'e right however Usual Suspects and The Departed came close

[guthywoodry]

@capetown99

I was going to make a big speech...

Then I noticed what you'd already written.

-I had nothing more to say.

Thanks.

-You tell it just the way it is.

[capetown99]

@guthywoodry

Thanks!  I forgot I wrote it.

[FuckWorkdays]

@capetown99 u forgot Dirty Harry

[hedonism13]

@capetown99

Whatever made you think it left? There were fantastic films in the last 20 years. I think you've just closed your mind to modern cinema.

Goodfellas, Fight Club, American Beauty, Shawshank Redemption, American History X, Requiem For A Dream, Memento, Fargo, Reservoir Dogs, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Scream, Donnie Darko, Jackie Brown, Sin City, Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, Titanic, The Usual Suspects and The Departed. And that's just listing withing the character count!

[capetown99]

@hedonism13

You've misunderstood my comment.

The movies I quoted were made between 1971 and 1976. The movies you qouted were made between 1990 and 2005? You with me? You've mentioned some great movies, (not sure about computerised Titanic though) but the point I was making was the concerted short timeframe the classics I quoted were made, rather than the far easier 20 year timscale you selected from.

[hedonism13]

@capetown99

Ah, fair enough. And Titanic was a pretty good romance with stunning visuals for its time... no matter how much I hate James Cameron.

[theGritHouse]

Think that is Friedkin narrating on the trailer....

(anyone confirm/deny?)

[USNARox2008]

Deny.

See YouTube: "Bug" : interview du réalisateur William Friedkin.

Sounds more like the police captain's voice, but not quite. Friedkin was born in Chicago. Lately he's directed some episodes of CSI.

He's had a BUSY life!

[theGritHouse]

Yeah, damn...just watched that vid and it sounds nothing like William...don't know what I was smokin'....whoever owns that voice was right at home in the 70's...

Had no idea Friedkin was directing CSI...

[apeandbirdgang]

it was in fact eddie egan. he was the policeman uopon whom doyle was based. he plays the captain in the film as well...

[RobertArchibaldShaw]

Incorrect. Friedkin has more acute voice.

[ruymxsx7]

gene hackman y fernando rey elevaron esta pelicula hasta limites insospechados, nose si hubiera faltado uno de los dos que habria sido de esta pelicula

[viswas777]

a classic!!!

[laughingman1138]

There's a mission in GTA4 that mimics the car chase in this movie. It's called The Puerto Rican Connection.

[Gegs1873]

Total classic...still watch it when ever its repeated.

[GjpgrD]

Hackman & Scheider look so young here.... best chase scene in movie history... car speeds after subway!

[bodhitaichi]

Hackman is God

[rumi1207]

Excellent film!!!!

[kichijai]

RIP Roy! You were in my 2 favorite films: French Connection and Jaws. Pure moviemaking at its finest.
