"Pas de C4 pour Daniel Daniel" or "No C4 for Daniel-Daniel" is a French/Belgian French-language short film from 1987, so this one has its 30th anniversary this year. It spoofs spy movies (fittingly with the name of the current James Bond actor) from start to finish during these 13 minutes and I personally am glad it was this short because the material did not feel too string at all. I think the main reason why it is still somewhat known today is the inclusion of Benoît Poelvoorde here and according to IMDb, this is his very first acting credit and he was in his early 20s when he made this one. He is also credited being one of the three writers and three directors which really is a lot given the short running time here. I cannot even say that this one is only for spy movie lovers as these, like me, will probably be the ones who will enjoy this one even less than everybody else. And Poelvoorde fans will be disappointed because here he was still miles away from where he is today. Rather embarrassing to be honest. So the best is probably if you simply skip this one. I give it a thumbs-down.
