History YMMV / LesVisiteurs

** Creator/ChristianClavier played Jacquouillet, Jacquouille's 18th century descendant, who accompanies UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte at the end of ''The Corridors of Time''. Fours years later, Clavier played Napoleon himself in [[Series/{{Napoleon}} a miniseries]].

** ''Les Visiteurs: La Relique de Sainte Rolande'' is a third-person adventure game that received negative reviews (mostly for its bad graphics, horrible camera angles and badly designed labyrinth-like levels). It has been reviewed by ''WebVideo/JoueurDuGrenier'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4XX3k8Sllg here]].

** ''Les Visiteurs'' on PC, a boring and glitchy PointAndClickGame and the characters' modelizations haven't aged well. It uses a lot of bits from the first two films as cutscenes.

* ReplacementScrappy: Creator/ValerieLemercier's roles, Frénégonde de Pouille and Béatrice de Montmirail, were among the most lauded things about the first film, especially her {{Sour Prude|s}} portrayal of Béatrice, to the point she won a César Award for Best Supporting Role for it. She refused to come back for the sequel out of CreativeDifferences and was replaced in both roles by Muriel Robin (complete with a FlashbackWithTheOtherDarrin) and it didn't sit well with fans and critics. Robin looks nothing like Lemercier, the writing of her Béatrice lacks the wit and nuance of Lemercier's version or interesting things to do, and she poorly tries to imitate the posh accent Lemercier had.

* CriticProof: Critical reception to ''The Corridors of Time'' was mostly negative. It still was the third highest-grossing film in France in 1998 with approximately 8 million tickets sold. It was only surpassed by ''[[Film/TheDinnerGame Le Dîner de Cons]]'' (9 million) and ''Film/{{Titanic|1997}}'' (20.5 million) that year.

* HarsherInHindsight: In the first film, Godefroy telling Jacquouille the TimeTravel has started to rot him from the insides to convince him to come back to TheMiddleAges. By ''Bastille Day'', the bodies of both of them are rotting ''for real'' (RapidAging then tumors) from too much {{Time Travel}}s.

** The opening theme of the first film, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvTEBsfMFyQ&nohtml5=False "The Knight of Montmirail"]], which is ''heavily'' inspired by Music/MichaelKamen's ''Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves'' theme.

* FirstInstallmentWins: The first film is still unanimously considered as the best.

* CriticalResearchFailure:
** A minor one for trailer of ''Bastille Day'': the date 1789 is dropped in it. The movie is actually set in [[ReignOfTerror 1793]], which is a completely different part of the Revolution altogether.
** The English title for the same film features a similar error: ''Bastille Day'' refers to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storming_of_the_Bastille storming of the Bastille]], which happened in 1789. The movie is set in 1793, and the historical and political context was ''[[ReignOfTerror way different]]'', again.

** [[spoiler:Christian Clavier played a [[LaResistance resistant]] in ''Papy fait de la Résistance'' (''Gramps Is in the Resistance''). Now he's part of LesCollaborateurs, at the end of ''Bastille Day'']].

** Christian Clavier played Jacquouillet, Jacquouille's 18th century descendant, who accompanies UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte at the end of ''The Corridors of Time''. Fours years later, Clavier played Napoleon himself in [[Series/{{Napoleon}} a miniseries]].

* {{Sequelitis}}: So far, none of the sequels surpassed the original or lived up to it.
** ''The Corridors of Time'' did not get anywhere near as good a reception as the first.
** Ditto ''Bastille Day'', which was critically panned.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: ''Bastille Day'' was largely thrashed by critics, but many agreed that Nicolas Vaude playing UsefulNotes/MaximilienRobespierre was probably the best thing about it. Probably a case of TookTheBadFilmSeriously.
