1!!''Film/{{Fantomas}}'' film series:
2
3* CriticProof: While the films were not critically praised ([[{{Sequelitis}} the sequels especially]]), they achieved popular success in France.
4* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The movie trilogy of TheSixties was bizarrely popular in UsefulNotes/LatinAmerica (especially UsefulNotes/{{Cuba}}) and the [[UsefulNotes/SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn Soviet Union]] (and former Soviet Union). And, just like most of the films with Creator/LouisDeFunes in the place, were very popular in UsefulNotes/WestGermany (and still fondly looked at in UsefulNotes/{{Germany}} nowadays).
5* MemeticMutation: Music/KanyeWest, of all people, caused a memetic reaction in France in 2021 when he [[https://hollywoodlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/kanye-west-mask-backgrid-post.jpg?w=620 wore a mask]] that was oddly similar to this version of Fantômas.
6* OlderThanTheyThink:
7** For SpyFiction tropes, ''Fantômas Unleashed'' predated ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'''s tobacco-gun and VolcanoLair by two years.
8** Speaking of ''Film/JamesBond'', the UsefulNotes/{{skydiving}} sequence of ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'' by B.J. Worth is often considered groundbreaking for having been mostly filmed for real. A similar one was filmed for the ending scene of ''Fantômas Unleashed'' 14 years earlier by Jean-Jacques Dubourg.
