There are no rules and no holds barred when Popeye cuts loose!This film, in a way, is the successor to Bullitt. Even more documentary like in its tone and style, this film still kicks a lot of ass. It even has a great car chase that rivals the chase in Bullitt. Gene Hackman as Popeye Doyle is a great film tough guy. He's rude and short tempered but he'll never give up. While not so much an action movie, I feel that this film is an important link in the chain that runs from Bullitt to Dirty Harry to Lethal Weapon and beyond. Plus, anything with Gene Hackman kicking ass and a car chase belongs here, am I right?

This is one of my all time favourite movies. Nobody does angry like Hackman. It's nothin' but a bunch of lousy spic car thieves....

Nobody does angry like Hackman. Have you seen Part II? Some of Hackman's best rage, plus a great foot chase. Possibly the most grueling foot chase I've ever seen. I'd say more but I don't want to spoil anything.
