 At the end of the film a superimposed caption informs us that Popeye  and Cloudy were transferred out of Narcotics and reassigned.  Eddie Egan (I) (qv) was always upset that the film thus implied  that this happened to himself and Sonny Grosso (qv) after the  French Connection; in reality the two cops were split up four years  and two similarly large narcotic cases later.
