  3. Because of JOE , Peter Boyle turned down pivital role in The French Connection When Peter Boyle saw audience members cheering the violence in Joe, he refused to appear in any other film or television show that glorified violence. This included the role of Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle in The French Connection (1971). The role would earn Gene Hackman the Oscar for Best Actor. Boyle nevertheless played a ruthless gangster in 1973's The Friends of Eddie Coyle and in 1974's Crazy Joe (not a sequel) and a not-so-ruthless gangster in the comedy Johnny Dangerously. He also appeared in the violent drama Taxi Driver. Joe inspired the creation of other tough, working class characters in 70s films and TV shows, including the character of Archie Bunker on the TV show All in the Family

  6. starring Peter Boyle (as a bigot) , and Susan Sarandon (as his druggie daughter) in her first film role, the movies ending was so violent that Peter Boyle said he would never do another violent movie again (he did though), and as mentioned above the inspiration for Archie Bunker in All in the family http://www.discdish.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Joe1-300x161.jpg
