Trivia
Both the film and the book it's adapted from are loosely based on a seventies gang war between Jacques Imbert aka "Jacky Le Mat" (considered to be the last "Don" of Marseille) and Tany Zampa. Just like Charly Matteï in the film, Jacky was left for dead on a parking lot with 22 bullets in his body by Zampa, yet miraculously survived with only his right arm remaining paralyzed.

Goofs
Charly's right arm is supposed to be paralyzed, yet when he is riding the motorcycle he works the controls as if his arm and hand are perfectly normal. When riding the bike and wearing a crash helmet Charly also becomes noticeably agile and lithe for a man in his late 50s who has recently been shot 22 times.

Connections
Referenced in Nanoman: Fekalonia (2015)

Soundtracks
E Lucevan Le Stelle Ah Franchigia A Floria Tosca
Music by Giacomo Puccini (as G. Puccini) and lyrics by Giuseppe Giacosa (as G. Giacosa) and Luigi Illica (as L. Illica)
Performed by Luciano Pavarotti

A great Marseille movie

I have to say I'm not a fan of Besson's productions, but this one is a good surprise. If you're looking for a very clever plot, forget it. But if you want to enjoy beautiful views of the glorious city of Marseille and have a thrill at the gangster's atmosphere it used to live in, this is the one. Jean Reno is solid like usual, Kad Merad -such a good actor- doesn't find his comfort zone in the bad guy, Marina Fois is brilliant, what on earth is Richard Berry doing in his own movie where his role has no impact? Overall a good moment, not Borsalino or French connection, but i definitely recommend it. If you want to see more of this mysterious city, try to locate the following titles: Comme un aimant, Taxi, Un ange, FC 1 and 2, Borsalino 1 and 2, movies with Raimu...
