Although nominally similar to the chase in The French Connection, To Live and Die in L.A.’s sequence is also different from Friedkin’s earlier masterpiece in several crucial ways.

An action hero is just about to enjoy his retirement (or a relaxing vacation) when he immediately gets roped into his next mission. It always seems to go that way, doesn’t it? Whether jaded by experience or wisened by age, many protagonists eschew a life of perilous action to enjoy some domesticity and peace. That is, until they get the call — then they’re back in.

Although nominally similar to the chase in The French Connection, To Live and Die in L.A.’s sequence is also different from Friedkin’s earlier masterpiece in several crucial ways. For one thing, the cops are not the pursuers this time around; they are the ones being chased all over industrial L.A. The key characters are Petersen’s Chance and Pankow’s Agent Vukovich. As To Live and Die in L.A. begins, Chance’s aging partner is murdered by a brilliant counterfeiter named Rick Masters (Willem Dafoe). Chance’s partner was days from retirement; now he’s dead.

True to his word, Chance quickly breaks more laws than Masters, who is violent and ruthless but only kills to protect his business.

Then Chance loses the associate, and doesn’t even attempt to get him back because that would distract him from his investigation into Masters. Eventually, Chance’s sleazy tactics land him a meeting with the counterfeiter.

An action hero is just about to enjoy his retirement (or a relaxing vacation) when he immediately gets roped into his next mission. It always seems to go that way, doesn’t it? Whether jaded by experience or wisened by age, many protagonists eschew a life of perilous action to enjoy some domesticity and peace. That is, until they get the call — then they’re back in.
