After French hitman Nicoli (Marcel Bozzuffi) tries to assasinate New York City detective Popeye Doyle (Gene Hackman)and misses, they begin one of movie history's greatest chase scenes through the streets of New York and an elevated train. Hackman, who won an Academy Award for his performance wasn't director Friedkin's first choice. He wanted Jackie Gleason, and then Jimmy Breslin, who as a lifelong New Yorker, didn't drive and would never be able to do the chase scene.

Dont forget the producers insisted on using the newest and cleanest subway trains at the time and the cars that were the cleanest and newest operated on the N line. So although the chase took place under the B line (today its the D) the cars were from the N line.

Skyrain is the wrong term. Very wrong. The Skytrain is a monorail.NYC subways or elevated trains run on real guaged track either underground(60 percent, while the rest run above ground or elevated, thus that why the nickname "el".

Friedken seems to love the guy rolling down the stairs scene - there's a much better one in the Exorcist though.
