@GinaMurrell1 I was watching an overview of the production of French Connection and since the two cops who the story is nominally about were producers, and still on the force, they pulled insane connections to get the shots they wanted and the locations they wanted.
There's a scene where there's a traffic jam on the bridge. How did they get it? The crew just BLOCKED THE BRIDGE and the cops used their connections to slow down any police reaction to it!
The famed car chase where they drove through the streets at 70mph? They got it by JUST DRIVING THROUGH THE STREETS AT 70MPH WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE. The first, like, 5 blocks of it were blocked off and they KEPT GOING
Everything is like that. They have a single camera follow Gene Hackman into a subway and they just film him messing around and everyone else is just new yorkers, ignoring them
