"French Connection II" is a companion piece to the original, but directed by John Frankenheimer. Fernando Rey reprises his role as Drug Kingpin Alain Charnier, who escaped the clutches of the police in a raid at the conclusion of the first film. Hackman's Popeye also is back in pursuit, this time to Marseilles, to smash the origins of the heroin traffic, with a personal vendetta to get his man. But Charnier has plans of his own for Popeye who he has assaulted and subjected to the personal and near-death ravages of drug addiction, as his payback for the detective's annoyance. (Gary Reber)
