    Almost as good as Les Visiteurs
    The same crew, the same cast but a different film than Les Visiteurs. And almost as fun. Jean Reno is excellent when it comes to expressing suppressed rage, and in this film he is almost constantly mad. Hilarious - especially when he backs his car off the back of a trailer....
