The film is a sequel to the feature films The French Connection and French Connection II, in which Doyle had been played by Gene Hackman; Hackman had won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in The French Connection. Popeye Doyle was originally intended as a pilot episode for a series called Popeye Doyle, but the series was not picked up.
The character of Popeye Doyle is based on a real-life New York City police detective, Eddie Egan, who had appeared in The French Connection as Walt Simonson, Doyle's supervisor.
