You always hear on Howard Stern and in the pages of Maxim lot of stuff badmouthing the country that helped the good ol' US of A win the American Revolution AND gave us the Statue of Liberty (ahem).
They also gave us

If Mel Brooks in his prime decided to spoof James Bond and were French, the result might look like this. The cinematographer deserves a major ass-kissing for making this look like a technicolor production from the 50's.
OSS117 is the most arrogant repressed homo on earth sent to Cairo to chase some kind of McGuffin, patronizes the incredulous locals, engages in a lot of cryptic talk, gets caught impersonating a musician, bangs a few hot broads, beats up a mouzzin for waking him up, gets captured by Nazis in the pyramids where the bad guys have a huge bat-cave setup with videocasette recorders but they have to wait for the tubes to warm up (!) and it ends with a sexy catfight. With Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo,Aure Atika and Philippe Lefebvre. A sequel is promised in 2009.
