A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

I saw this movie in French when I was 12 yo, and then a year after with Spanish subtitles. I watched I believe, 3 or 4 times over a two week vacation.It is a movie that I wish my children had seen in the same context I watched it. It is a movie that teaches a very strong message in a very funny way. Values were prevalent in the French movies of back then, nowadays sex and scandal have taken over.Pierre Richards is phenomenal in this movie. It became part of only a handful of movies that I watched as a child that I still remember.We need in the US to find a more expedite way to watch foreign films. The offer is simply just an insignificant part of what is out there. Netflix does not carry it. We need a distributor!

I saw this film in 1982. Our French teacher in High school took all her classes to see this one day during school. We were supposed to be immersed in the language while watching. Mostly, we got caught up in the story (and the subtitles) simple story that was simply told.However, the US version screwed it all up by making making it a farce. Subtlty is lost here in the US. I really would like to see it again, since I only saw it the once 20 years ago

Outstanding performance of Pierre, and let's say it can not surpass his performance in "Le Course a l'echalot" and not in "Les fugitives", because he plays it the best way, as he does always.Of course,it is only my opinion, and you have to see this one, if you want to have your own

A very nice and funny movie with several ideas tied into it. It is the original movie which was followed by an American version, The Toy. I feel the American version lost some of the important ideas that they were expressing in the original.
