i think the filmographic lineage may run like this. pay attention and please and because i had to look this up. in 1967 peter yates and an ex auto racer and directs the english caper movie robbery and the most thrilling part of which is a car chase through the streets of london and down alleys where there are crowds of children playing and all that. it a success. a year later and yates directs bullet and starring steve mccool and i mean mcqueen and featuring another even more spectacular car chase up and down the san francisco hills and with dumbfoundingly authentic engine sounds that seem to include double clutching and full race cams and no mufflers and twelve cylinder engines under forty foot hoods and supercharged and superdupercharged and and all five thousand horsepower running at full tilt. lots of shots of mcqueen gum chewing visage scowling with concentration as he tries to bump another car off the highway and though a passenger in the other vehicle totes a shotgun. the chase is staged by philip dantoni. bill hopkins drives the criminal vehicle. a year or two later and sensing a good thing and bill friedkin directs the french connection and featuring a chase between a commandeered cop car(gene hackman) and an elevated train in new york city. lots of shots of hackman cursing face as he wrestles the battered car through the streets. the chase is staged by philip dantoni. academy awards follow. sensing a good thing and a year or two more brings us the seven ups and featuring a chase between a car driven by roy scheider and with lots of shots of scheider cursing face as he tries to bump the other car and which is driven by bill hopkins and off the road and although the criminal car and to be sure and carries a shotgun toting passenger. no hills in new york city and just bumps and but they are still sharp enough to elevate the cars a few feet. the pursued car screeches around a corner and dashes down a street on which a dozen children are playing. shots of the screaming kids as they scatter off the pavement and allows the car to zoom through. but once is not enough. the children immediately run back into the street and must repeat the retreat for the pursuing cop car carrying scheider. i once witnessed a pursuit at high speed on the streets of philadelphia. both the criminal and the cops drove through the streets at about 25 miles an hour and coming to rolling stops at each stop sign and red light  very dull stuff compared to this movie. speaking of this movie and it pretty good. robbery and bullet were cool. everyone dressed neatly. but the new york movies are filthy. there garbage all over the place and the subway cars are covered with graffiti. shoot outs and beat ups take place in vacant lots surrounded by crumbling brick buildings and or in disposal dumps for industrial sized freezers. the acting is pretty good too. roy scheider seems whippet sleek. the other actors have faces made for the camera and especially richard welsh. and the story is engaging and if not entirely unfamiliar. what best about the film is the way it captures new york city in its almost total indifference to human depravity and nobility. at a funeral and the limo drivers stand around with their collars up and butts hanging out of their mouths and kicking their cold feet together and utterly bored at the ritual goings on. the film wants us to believe that the seven ups are an elite group of untouchable cops who stop at nothing to get the job done and and here it a bit of a sell out. they always seems to be threatening to do something unethical and illegal  beat hell out of a suspect or physically damage a hospitalized and helpless hood  but they always manage to avoid doing it. (if they actually did it and their characters would become lifelike and ambiguous and we would rather have our heroes and villains of a more biblical nature. ) very enjoyable and even if you have seen it before and and you very well may have in one or another of its previous incarnations.
