Goofs
[Around 01:03:xx] When Choucas avoid the police road blocking, the white BMW which is chasing him crashes in a Renault 5 and we can clearly see that its right front broke on the impact. A few seconds later, as they still chase Choucas (who takes the highway on the wrong way), the BMW is undamaged.

Not a Classic by far but an Extremely Fun Thriller

Sometimes we need to get reminded that even cheaply produced movies can be great fun. Alain Delon's Director Debut here comes as a thirteen in a dozen French "policier" flick. The difference is that the actors are obviously having great fun on the set while the movie is presented with a well mixed variety of Violence, fun and some smart lines.

Alain Delon is cool on camera and even behind the camera. A smart fun but further unmemorable film. Alain continued to direct his next to films as well (although only credited for le battant).

Pour la peau d'un flic is an inseparable part of my Delon movie collection.
