Originally, Philippe Lacheau wanted to spoof the Jason Bourne movies, with an actor having a car accident in the spy car used for the movie shoot, but he ended up finding the genre too dark for a comedy, so he switched genres and went for the superhero movie.
Fifth collaboration between director Philippe Lacheau and actors Tarek Boudali and Julien Arruti, and fourth between director Philippe Lacheau and actress Élodie Fontan, not counting movies directed by Tarek Boudali, or Heartbreaker (2010), in which the first three all has small parts.
Philippe Lacheau hurt his leg playing soccer with friends before shooting, so all scenes involving himself walking or running were postponed to the end of the shoot.
