BangorRCZ said:My brother and I hitch-hiked around Europe for 3 weeks back in '73 and I was in the kitchen of the Youth Hostel when he came in to say we'd been hired by 20th Century Fox as extras for French Connection II. We didn't get to meet Gene Hackman but I did sit opposite the baddie who exchanged one Air France bag with 'drugs' for another with 'money'. He constantly made jokes as we waited for cameras to be resited or other technical reasons and he sang "When Irish eyes are smiling" to me . Sadly we ended up on the cutting room floor (as we film stars like to say :lol: ) but at least we got hired for 2 days and got pay packets with the company's name on them. Our fee was enough to pay our train and ferry fares from Marseille to London and I always think of FC 2 as MY film .
Sadly we don't appear in the finished movie. My brother was just here and we were discussing it and he watched it again recently determined to see us but of course we STILL weren't there :lol: . No matter, the experience was great, even though at the tender age I was then, I'd never heard of Gene Hackman and thought it was a woman!Mlbblue said:BangorRCZ said:My brother and I hitch-hiked around Europe for 3 weeks back in '73 and I was in the kitchen of the Youth Hostel when he came in to say we'd been hired by 20th Century Fox as extras for French Connection II.

I've got that on DVD... about what time during the flic? I'll have to dig it out and have a look! Btw - '73 is the year I was born... :eusa-whistle:
Sounds exhausting but well done for agreeing to take part, and good luck :thumbup: .Figo said:Im playing a 24 hour charity football match at a club in aberdeen.
