History Film / OSS117FromAfricaWithLove

* LogoJoke: The [[https://youtu.be/HB6BPlzrHXQ Gaumont]] VanityPlate for the film is that of TheEighties instead of a more recent one, to fit the movie's setting.

Previews: [[https://youtu.be/UtXKfVHndys Teaser #1]], [[https://youtu.be/IvZdRtW_RY4 Teaser #2]].

* {{Bulungi}}: The film is set in an unnamed country that is a former French colony.

** The film makes several references to television shows of that time, notably a show for kids named ''L'Île aux enfants'' (which started in 1975 but continued until 1982). It includes actual pictures from then at several times.

* AfricaIsACountry: Played with. It is generally obvious in context that action is set in an unnamed but specific country (see Bulungi). On the other hand Hubert uses a big, cartoonish map displaying a country shaped like Africa. He names a few places like Uganda[[note]]that is the name of an actual country if you wonder[[/note]] but it is unclear whether that is supposed to be part of the country.

* ShoutOut: The international title, ''From Africa with Love'', is an obvious reference to the title of the James Bond film ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove''.

* VerbalTic: 117 loved using the word "tantôt" in the previous films. He uses it once again in the first trailer.

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: 117, who else? As seen in the second trailer though, this time he ''tries'' to improve things when addressing African people and fails miserably, which only leads to more CringeComedy. Best seen in this exchange with a hotel employee:

In 1981, French agent Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath, a.k.a. OSS 117, is sent to UsefulNotes/{{Kenya}} to help the country's president against an armed rebellion as part of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Françafrique "Françafrique"]] policy. He also has to team up with a younger agent named Serge, aka OSS 1001, played by Pierre Niney.

* TheLoinsSleepTonight: Hubert is now older, and fails to have sex with a woman, apparently for the first time in his life.

** 117 wishes a "Happy New Year 1981" to whoever would watch the hostage video he's forced to do in the first trailer, before freeing himself from his captors.

* HostageSituation: In the first trailer, 117 is taken prisoner by Soviet soldiers and filmed to send a message, then escapes on his own.

* TheEighties: 117 wishes a "Happy New Year 1981" to whoever would watch the hostage video he's forced to do in the first trailer, before freeing himself from his captors.

The film is set for release on August 4, 2021 in France.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: 117 directly addresses the audience upon escaping in the helicopter in the first trailer, inviting them to watch the film starting February 3, 2021 [[note]]the previous release date, the film will come out on April 14 instead[[/note]], and so does the beautiful woman who pilots the helicopter.
