Trivia
The parachute sequence at the end of the movie was the first of its kind filmed in a big screen format. Photography was done in free fall by camera operator Jean-Jacques Dubourg. Interestingly enough, the opening sequence of the James Bond movie Moonraker (1979) is in many regards very similar to this scene, which is all the more worth mentioning as the De Funès / Marais Fantômas series is widely regarded as a Bond spoof.

Goofs
When Juve falls out of the plane near the end of the movie, he is very obviously played by a stunt double; moreover, the double wears badly concealed parachute packs on back and belly.

Crazy credits
The opening credits' animation recreates sequences from the previous film in the series, Fantômas (1964).

Connections
Edited from Les Rendez-vous du diable (1959)

More addition of zany fun escapades

This is more so and now its more of the zaniness, just comparison with the first movie a sight all over the place stuff goin on (the scientist stuff yawn) compared with the first movie's focus but more fun from the main principal characters.
