The following firearms can be seen in Popeye Doyle:
Background
Popeye Doyle is a rather obscure sequel to 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 (Writer of 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. As a result there are no screencaps. I've elected to make a page nevertheless since it was one of the early roles for O'Neill and might have helped get him cast in Married with Children - which kickstarted his career. Thanks go out to Funkychinaman for taking a few screencaps off of Youtube. He saved the page from being mostly text.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Popeye Doyle (Ed O'Neill) carries a round butt Smith & Wesson Model 36 as does his partner, Det. Tony Parese (Matthew Laurance).
Browning BDA
A terrorist/assassin uses a Browning BDA throughout the movie.
1911A1 Government
Mossad agent Kellerman (George De La Pena) carries what appears to be be a military issue Model 1911A1 Government complete with the Parkerized finish. At the beginning of the movie Doyle and his partner take-down a couple thugs who rob a restaurant. During the shoot-out one of them appear to be using a M1911A1 as well.
Walther P38
The assassin carries a suppressed Walther P38.
Unidentified Pistol
While searching the apartment of a murder victim Doyle (Ed O'Neill) finds a small pistol in a drawer.
Uzi
