Trivia
After a couple of under performing movies (by Jean-Paul Belmondo's high standards anyway), he returns with this movie which was the fifth highest grossing movie of its year in France.

Goofs
When Belmondo climbs the wall of Castle Saint Prix the camera pans to a sign that says "African Reserve". Once over the wall Belmondo is mauled by a Tiger. There are no Tigers in Africa.

Alternate versions
The U.S. dubbed video version doesn't include the scenes where Belmondo pretends to be mentally handicapped to fool the inspectors of social service.

Featured in Return of the Prodigal Parrot (1984)

See how movies REALLY are made!

One of the greatest films about moviemaking ever. Hundreds of extras running and fighting, a stuntman is jumping and falling down a 30 meter staircase again and again, getting hurt more and more, while the director is only worried about entertaining his leading role superstar bruno ferrari (what a name!), who's performance is getting worse and worse. And after take 15 the 1st AD whispers 'Dont you think take 1 was great, and if you want, you can mix it with take 3', and the director yells 'Okay, let's have lunch!
