I have only seen this film with subtitles and it is the only foreign film I have watched that I have forgotten, I was reading the subtitles in the first place. (I do not speak French)The film is a masterpiece. The second Ripoux contre Ripoux is good but Just an avenue to soak up a few franks in revenue for all involved and lacked the originality of the original, like many part two film's.Apart from the Godfather Etc. and Une Taxi Mauve, The Purple Taxi, Also with Phillipe Noiret is a forgotten gem. The comedy in Le Ripoux has never been matched since and everything just bonds, Writing ,Acting, Directing and Soundtrack, Yes I think this soundtrack added to the film.
