THE FRENCH CONNECTION

When Popeye Doyle is on the roof looking for the sniper, he sees him on the
street below running full speed away from the building. Popeye has to run down
about five flights of stairs, yet when he gets out of the building the sniper has
made almost no distance whatsoever

The car/train chase passes the same school four times, twice in each direction.

Early on in the movie, a Frenchman is shot. The "blood" is coming from a clearly
visible hose at the bottom of the screen, which squirts red paint at the actor's face. 
As the victim falls backwards, the blood has disappeared.

When the cars turn a corner during one of the car chases, we see a tape in the
background closing off the street, and a policeman who is watching the shoot.


When Popeye and Cloudy are beginning to stake out the Lincoln, there is a shot of
Cloudy looking back through the back window of their car. In the next shot, he is in
the same place, but he now has a cigarette in his mouth.


Doyle is following Charnier into the subway. When they stop at the stand, Doyle
orders a grape drink. Then, Charnier boards the next train, and so Doyle follows,
not with a beverage, but with a candy apple.


In one of the chases on foot, Popeye removes his coat and hat. The next shot
shows him coming down some stairs with his coat and hat on
