Another Popeye Doyle

There's another Popeye Doyle movie starring Ed O'Neill. Wearing the same funky hat. FWIW.

Fast food connection

Al Copeland claimed he named the Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits chain after the fictional detective Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle in the movie The French Connection, whose nickname was unrelated to the cartoon character Popeye the Sailor. The chain later acquired rights to use the namesake cartoon character for marketing. The company's early brand became deeply tied to the cartoon character with its sponsorship of the "Popeye & --Mantanmoreland (talk) 20:58, 26 March 2008 (UTC)Pals" children's show in New Orleans, and the character appeared on items from packaging to racing boats. As of 2006, the Popeyes' online history omits any reference to the cartoon, though some international markets, notably Puerto Rican restaurants, continue to use the Popeye's (cartoon character) theme. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.3.128.3 (talk) 20:20, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you come up with a reference to that: an article quoting him saying that? Or something in the website? If not, it is unsourced and should not be in the article. I tend to doubt it because the Popeyes chicken logo is the same as typography of the comic.--Mantanmoreland (talk) 20:58, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
