    Part two is almost as funny as part one. Reno and Clavier don't lose their touch and the result is great.

    Watch the French versions and not the American remake. I am not even going to get into that one, it would take too long and it wouldn't solve much. *sigh*. I hate remakes.

    A french comedy with an interesting plot, starring Jean Reno, certainly sounds good in theory. I wasn't pleased though - the humour was mostly repetitive, ridiculous and didn't suit me. There were some great jokes and physical humour, but with this kind of story it could've been...( read more) so much better. Two medieval fighters travelling thousand years into the future could result in very funny cultural crashes, and some of them certainly is, but I could list more funny situations in "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" than here. A bad indication. If you want hilarious french humour you should try any comedy with Louis de Funes in the leading role.

    If the French made a Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Very funny, and some really amusing moments.

    The few short minutes I've been able to catch on HDNet Movies have convinced me that I need to see more.

    I hear "Les Visiteurs" inspired "Just Visiting" as an American remake. This French film is definitely of my viewing interest.

    Jean Reno is a fav and even if this is rather silly, I kind of like it :)
