The plot of the movie is very thin. This time, the gang is Japanese. It kidnaps the Japanese minister of National Defense. Chases in Marseilles and Paris to save him. The same actors, the same gags. The characters are caricatures. Frederic Diefenthal still can't drive, Samy Naceri goes faster than the best pilots in the best cars. The police is very, very stupid (huge pile-up of police cars in a Blues Brothers style). The captain of police is ridiculous, the nice young German girl shows us her legs more. But the chases are somewhat better, with real collisions and accidents. But it still doesn't dethrone 'Bullit' or 'the burglars' chases. However, sometimes the stunts sound strangely out of tune, compared to classical American comparisons (Ronin, Striking distance and so on...) It is fun, but really dumb. Special thoughts for the two victims of the accident that occurred during a car stunt shot.
