Line 37:
* [[Stop or I Will Shoot]]: 'Popeye' guns down the EL assassin as he [[In the Back|turns to flee]], despite the fact that a) he's now unarmed, and b) Popeye couldn't have been sure the man was the same guy who'd taken a shot at him earlier, as there was little opportunity to get a clear look at his face.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: 1973's ''The Seven-Ups'', starring Roy Scheider as another New York City cop leading a special organized crime task force. It had the same producer and composer of ''[[The French Connection]]'' and also had a high speed car chase.
* [[Star-Making Role]]: For Gene Hackman.
* [[Throw It In]]: Tradition has it that the famous baby carriage moment was an accident during filming. In truth it was staged. However, earlier in the chase scene there's a moment where another car smashes into Hackman's at an intersection, and that ''was'' a genuine accident that was left in.
* [[Translation Convention]]: Averted, with a lot of (subtitled) French dialogue.
* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]
