    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The German title of this film, "OSS 117 - Der Spion, der sich liebte", is a prank on the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). It literally means "OSS 117 - The Spy Who Loved Himself".
    • Goofs
      When OSS 117 learns to count in Arabic, Larmina coaches him: "Wahed, Jouj...". She should be counting in Egyptian Arabic, but instead she uses Moroccan Arabic. An Egyptian would not use (or understand) "Jouj" for two. The word is "Itnayn".

      Moeller: Mr. Bramard... a cigarette?

      Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath, alias OSS 117: Thanks. I'm trying to start.

    A very fresh exercise
    Excellent exercise on multiple plans:

    • showing the not yet ended colonialism spirit in France


    • more generally the boring mindset of superiority from all western people


    • a renewal of the spy and thriller movies: OSS 117 is uncultured and stupid!


    The good idea is that, in spite of all these messages, it is a funny film, plenty of jokes and gags, very light and sparkling.

    Special mention to Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo.

    Definitely worth seeing. Wonder how it will be appreciated in US?

    Seems to be a success in France, so probably a next version will come.
