Repost from @car_movie_meme_reels • Gene Hackman drove in the famous chase scene in The French Connection (1971). Of course, Bill Hickman did the really crazy stuff like the illegal speed run across NYC but Hackman did some of the driving which ended up in the film as one of the most unintentional cinematic scenes where a civilian crashed into him in the lead car. Thankfully nobody was hurt, apart from the Pontiac. RIP to a good man and a great actor. #genehackman #movietrivia #stuntdriver #stun
