** One of 117's numerous enemies in ''Cairo Nest of Spies'' is Colonel Gerhard Moeller, a former enemy of 117 during World War II, who set up shop in Egypt after the war. The "wacky" part comes from the homoerotic memories he has of his comrade, which mirrors those of 117.
** Heinrich Von Zimmel, the BigBad of ''Lost in Rio'', is a NaziGrandpa who [[ArgentinaIsNaziland settled in Brazil]]. Wacky antics of his include failing to "establish the Fourth Reich", so he'll try to "establish a Fifth Reich", or [[invoked]]''[[CrossesTheLineTwice replacing Jews by Nazis]]'' in Shylock's famous tirade from Act 3 Scene 1 of ''Theatre/TheMerchantOfVenice''.

* IdiotHero: These films turned OSS 117 into a [[InnocentlyInsensitive paternalistically racist, culturally insensitive]], short-sighted, overconfident and nigh-clueless idiot. He has other qualities that allow him to triumph of numerous odds nonetheless, such as his [[BornLucky luck]], his {{determinat|or}}ion, his fighting skills, and being situationally cunning.

This page regroups the films adapted from (or inspired by) the ''OSS 117'' SpyFiction novels by French writer Jean Bruce, about the adventures of the eponymous secret agent, Hubert Bonnisseur de La Bath, {{code name}} [[YouAreNumberSix OSS 117]], created by Bruce in 1949. Unlike most of the ''Film/JamesBond'' series, the films haven't all been made by the same production house over the years. The most well-known ones are those of the series produced by Gaumont in the 1960s, which [[FollowTheLeader were undoubtedly influenced by the success of that other spy film series]].

** Spy fiction-[=wise=], the 1950s film was rather Stale Beer, then the 1960s films went full Martini flavored. The recent films since the 2000s are unabashedly Margaritas.

** The 1950s French political context is lampooned in the first film, with 117's colonialist mentality and his over-the-top affection for (space-filling nonentity) then-French President René Coty.
