Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2006) and OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009) were both directed by Michel Hazanavicius but he wasn't involved with the production of this third installment. Reportedly, this was allegedly because "he didn't like the script".
- GoofsOSS 117 is going to the SDECE offices (French intelligence service in the 70's) near the Eiffel Tower. The intelligence service offices were, and still are, boulevard Mortier, in the south of Paris, quite far from the Eiffel Tower.
- Crazy creditsThe movie opens with Gaumont 80's logo.

Featured review
The other spy
Now I could be referring to Bond and OSS117 or I could be referring to the new member of the OSS team (1001). Or maybe both of course. But let's be clear, this movie does not care if you are offended - something that I would like to believe the Bond movie would not agree with. They tried to let the character grow - for better or worse. And whether the viewers liked what they saw or they didn't.
OSS on the other hand - he remains ignorant, sexist and racist. And yet Jean Dujardin fills the role with such an amazing performance and charisma, you kind of feel for the guy. Even when he says the most horrible and cringe worthy things - and believe he says quite a lot of those. You will not find just a few reasons to be offended here.
Apart from immature jokes, there are some political jokes too though. The role of France as colonials, but also Politicians of the 80s and communism ... you may not feel that they did the best job in handling certain themes, but you at least might want to give the movie kudos for even tackling them ... and while it does not reach the heights of the first two movies (it's been 12 years already since Part 2 came out?), it still is more than a solid movie right here. Still haven't watched the older OSS movies ... gotta push them up my watch list.
