In this installment, 117 is sent to Brazil in 1967 to obtain a list of French World War II collaborators from an old Nazi. While there, he meets up with a foxy Israeli spy named Dolores who is determined to capture the Nazi. Of course, the idiotic 117 can't stop embarrassing her with his blissful ignorance and prejudices.

* LowSpeedChase: 117 wakes up in a hospital, in the same room as the BigBad Von Zimmel. 117's wounds are more severe than Von Zimmel's, and the latter escapes slowly, using a walker, but 117 still tries to chase him, not being able to run or even walk fast and hampered by his blood transfusion bag. Cue the chase music that would be more appropriate in an action scene.

* PhotoMontage: 117's cover in Rio is as a French reporter/photographer, and throughout he's shown snapping pictures. Over the end credits all his photos are shown. They're either horribly composed with the subjects out of frame, or close-ups of women's bosoms, butts, and legs. (A couple of extreme close-ups of Dolores's butt is followed by her giving him an angry frown.)
