'''''Popeye Doyle''''' is a rather obscure sequel to ''[[French Connection, The\|The French Connection]]'' and ''[[French Connection II]]''. Made for television it was originally intended as a pilot for a television series about the further adventures of New York City Police Detective James "Popeye" Doyle. Written and produced by Richard Di Lello (who went on to write ''[[Colors]]'') and with [[Eddie Egan]] as technical adviser the series was never purchased. It was released on NBC as a television movie in September of 1986. [[Ed O'Neill]] took over the role of Popeye and did good work. He choose to play the character in a lighter vein instead of the heavy and intense portrayal that made [[Gene Hackman]] famous. Unfortunately the movie was never released on VHS or DVD. It can be seen occasionally late at night on the Fox Movie Channel. This film was also the first screen role for veteran actor [[J.K. Simmons]], who has a few lines as a uniformed police officer.
