Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This sequel reverses the original's premise: instead of accidental espionage, François is now a willing pawn in manufactured spy theater. The franchise essentially becomes meta-commentary on sequel construction itself.
Pierre Richard became France's accidental everyman hero through these films, spawning a wave of 1970s French comedies about incompetent men stumbling through systems they don't understand.
