Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDavid Ogden Stiers plays the conductor of the symphony orchestra where Richard plays violin. Stiers has worked as a guest conductor with real-life symphony orchestras.
- GoofsThe assassins in the film used revolvers with silencers. It is nearly impossible to silence a revolver, due to the gap between the revolving cylinder and the barrel, which allows sound waves to escape.
- Quotes
Hulse: Here's where he varied from the program. That has to be the message. We fed the notes into the computer.
Cooper: [reading] "ARDIE BETGO INDYO CEFAR OGGEL." What the hell is this?
Hulse: I don't know.
Carson: Oh, come on, can't you see? He's rubbing our noses in it! Let's just pick him up and put an end to it.
Cooper: [frowning] Is this "cefar oh-gle" or "cefar oggle"?
Hulse: Oh-gle.
Cooper: "Oh-gle"?
Hulse: Could be "oggle."
- Crazy creditsThe billing for the film's source French film The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe (1972) omits the title, stating only, "Based on the motion picture written by Francis Veber and Yves Robert".
- Alternate versionsThe video version in 1986 was cut by 5 seconds in order to receive a "PG" rating from the BBFC with edits made to shots of workmen sniffing white powder from a cocaine-covered car during the opening sequence. In 2004 all cuts were reinstated and the video was re-rated "15".

Featured review
Not so good...
The one who saw Le grand blond avec une chaussure noir, the original, should not waste his time with this film because he will be disappointed. The original had Pierre Richard, who fit much better in the role of the victim, he had Jean Rochefort , who played an excellent role as an intriguer and had an excellent soundtrack composed by Vladimir Cosma, with the wonderful flute performance of Gheorghe Zamfir. The American version had nothing attractive.
