Friedkin brought in Robby Mueller - a Dutch guy who Friedkin admired for working with with Wim Wenders. Wenders films aren't known for flashy sequences so Mueller was a bit at sea with the action scenes. Mueller did make the film look incredible with the dreamlike orange tinted streets by day, the cold blue nights - very Michael Mann-esque. Petersen obviously went on to work in "Manhunter" which has the same look.
Mueller refused to do the car-chase scene because he felt it was way too dangerous - and, to be fair, who would blame him with Wild Billy Friedkin coked out of his fucking mind shouting orders through a megaphone from a follow car or chopper whilst the lead actors, not professionally trained stunt people, drove like mad men all over L.A.?!
