Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2006) and OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009) were both directed by Michel Hazanavicius but he wasn't involved with the production of this third installment. Reportedly, this was allegedly because "he didn't like the script".
- GoofsOSS 117 is going to the SDECE offices (French intelligence service in the 70's) near the Eiffel Tower. The intelligence service offices were, and still are, boulevard Mortier, in the south of Paris, quite far from the Eiffel Tower.
- Crazy creditsThe movie opens with Gaumont 80's logo.
- ConnectionsEdited into Indy Eka: From Africa with Love (2021)
Featured review
Disappointing to say the least
Low below par on this 3rd installment of the "parodisiac" OSS117. And for his mission on the African continent there was nothing "afrodisiac" either.
OSS 117 Alerte Rouge en Afrique Noire looked like a cheap version of the original episodes. Lack of characters, lack of situation, lack of places, depths, lack of good dialogues and more crucially lack of laughters from the spectators 'seats.
Despite the obvious will of making OSS 117 the object of its own conservative joke the whole movie is étriqué and only consists in the slashing of all what made the French espion an interesting character to laugh with. In this installment we don't even laugh with him, we pity him.
Kuddos to Jean Dujardin's amazing performance despite the curse the writers cast on his character. Dujardin filled the shoes the best he could. A pity he wasn't provided the play one of the rare French stars deserve instead of a costard mal taillé.
