What is better. The French Connection or the unofficial sequel The Seven Ups? Both are great movies.
Hi, Lazlo and comapny:
I just finished a guest review at ‘FlixChatter’ regarding ‘The French Connection’. A classic in and of itself.

‘The Seven Ups’ isn’t a sequel at all. Though both films share a large chunk of the same cast, crew, stunt men and drivers. In a tale about an elite team of New York cops who put criminals away for seven years or up. Hence, the tile ‘The Seven Ups’.
Roy Scheider and Tony Lo Bianco again rock out loud in portraying a driven detective going after an equally driven bank robber and diamond thief. The film also reveals the outstanding durability of a Chevy Nova during a high speed chase.
