    • Trivia
      First time in eight years that Belmondo has not delivered a top 10 hit movie. The last time that happened was 1976.
    • Goofs
      The airline operating the flight from Montreal to Paris is first shown as the fictional "TA" airline, as seen on the ticket folders or air sickness bag held by some characters and on the display board above the gate (which shows the flight number as "TA 403"). However, a P.A. announcement repeatedly refers to the same flight as "Air Canada flight 403". The airport scene concludes with the captain's announcement welcoming passengers aboard Air Canada followed by shots of an Air Canada Boeing 747 taking off.

    Heist movie with lots of comedy sauce
    1985 comedy heist movie. Starring Jean Paul Belmondo. I watched this movie on TV in the 90's. The robbery sounded brilliant to me. Now that I watched it, I said that for years, I had a completely different movie setup in my head. The movie contained a ton of nonsense. I have memorized it because the robber continues throughout the movie, and I note that the clown is constantly being a clown. After watching it again, the whole spell was broken. Belmondo also showed a very weak acting in this movie.

    There is nudity in the movie but no sexuality. In the films of that period, especially in French films, there is no film without clarity.
