In the arcade, the game that all the young characters convince Hubert ('Jean Reno') to play is "Dance Dance Revolution". Before you see the DDR machine (it's a 5th Mix), many of the other music-related games that are shown are also part of the Bemani series, including Beatmania and many others. The song that the characters play is 'Dive' by BeForU, and Jean Reno's character does fail on the easiest difficulty level (Basic Mode, known in more recent generations of the game as Light Mode).

Hubert fires seven shots from his magnum in the arcade. When he first loaded the gun it only held six bullets. See more »
Quotes
Maurice 'Momo':
We were here in the 80's to watch the Russians. I can't tell you the trouble we made.
Hubert Fiorentini:
That's right you can't, now try to keep your mouth shut for 5 minutes.

I agree with Jordan above... if you don't like it, than you just don't get it. I actually laughed out loud during the scene which depicts the title of this film, and I don't laugh out loud at anything in films.
Someone compared this to Austin Powers? I don't think so... they don't compare at all. It's no Leon (The Professional), then again, what is? As a huge fan of that film, I was skeptical, but quickly let go when I became involved with the characters. It's more of a comedy than anything else, perhaps somewhat satirical, especially in the "night club". Music? You have to respect the culture, the group it represents, the tone it's trying to set, mainly the daughter's generation.
To me this was an interesting example of how you can take the same story and execute it in a different way. Just relax and have fun with this one!
