Trivia
Dr Haquenbusch, the plastic surgeon who changes Morzini's appearance, is certainly named after Dr Hugo Z Hackenbush, the horse doctor played by Groucho Marx in "A Day at the Races".

Goofs
When Gerard Depardieu plays a pre-plastic surgery Morzini, he uses tampons to alter the shape of his face. Those tampons are visible in several scenes when he speaks.

The death of Coluche at 42 in an accident was a tragedy for French film lovers. The man had a short, flabby body and a face that never stood out in a crowd. Nathan Lane would be a contemporary equivalent.

Here he's a detective fresh out of the academy (lowest mark in class) who gets the assignment of bodyguard to a spoiled rich girl reporter (wonderful Dominique Lavanant). She's been interviewed on TV and has questioned the virility of a mobster (Depardieu) who then kidnaps her. The usual satirical jabs at the police run throughout the film. It's not as good as Tchao pantin but it's diverting.
