A bit of "French Connection" 40th Anniversary trivia: The New York Transit Authority official who told William Friedkin it was going to be difficult but not impossible to operate the elevated train at speeds over 50 miles per hour (but said he was going to be fired if the infamous chase scene was filmed Friedkin's way) proffered a request: $40,000 and a one-way ticket to Jamaica.
The official's wish came true.
