Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Corneau directed the original 1966 version's star Lino Ventura in 'Police Python 357' — this remake was his farewell to the genre he helped define.
Éric Cantona casting wasn't stunt casting; the ex-footballer's own controversial 'kung-fu kick' incident made him perfect as a man who understands public disgrace.
