Intense stuff, great follow-up

Popeye Doyle is now in France to find the drug dealer. The film continues the story, this time John Frankenheimer takes the directing reins.

The film's style is not that different from the first film, it feels part of the series, not detached at all.

Gene Hackman actually gets better, he really gets more out of his acting in this one. The film is very much character driven, very little action. The Cold Turkey sequence is mindblowing. Doyle is shown as a flawed character as is Alain Charnier, this adds to the realism.

The direction is excellent, I'm glad the style didn't change too much.

The photography is less gloomy but the locations are similar to the first film.

Wissenswertes
Gene Hackman almost passed on this film. He felt that the length of time between the original and the sequel would hurt the film's chances for success. In the DVD commentary Hackman suggested this was the reason for the film's disappointing box office performance.

Patzer
In the first bar scene, Popeye Doyle eats an egg that changes from partially eaten to whole again and back again while he tries to talk to the French girls.

French Barkeeper: ?

German theatrical and VHS releases were marginally cut to secure the "not under 16" rating from the FSK. Later releases, starting with the DVD era, all such cuts were waived.
