History Film / OSS117LostInRio

* {{Tsundere}}: Dolores, who gets pushed by 117 pretty strongly to the cold side

* AllAsiansAreAlike: 117 can't remember which Asian country allied with the Nazis. He also calls all Asian people "Chinamen".

'''''OSS 117: Lost in Rio''''' (French: '''''OSS 117: Rio ne répond plus''''') is the second of two French films detailing the comic misadventures of Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath, aka OSS 117, a bumbling French secret agent in the 1960s. In this installment 117 is sent to Rio to obtain a list of French WWII collaborators from an old Nazi. While there, he meets up with a foxy Israeli spy named Dolores who is determined to capture the Nazi. Both this film and its predecessor, ''Film/OSS117CairoNestOfSpies'' star Jean Dujardin as OSS 117, a character who might be best described as Sean Connery's James Bond, if Bond were both amazingly stupid and kind of racist. Based on a not-at-all satirical series of French spy novels.

* ActionGirl: Dolores.

* [[ArgentinaIsNaziland Brazil Is Naziland]]

* ChekhovsGun: 117's fear of heights. Of course, he gets over it when needed.

* HotAndCold: Dolores, who gets pushed by 117 pretty strongly to the cold side

* IncrediblyLamePun: 117 makes a few. In the end, he exchanges puns on the name Lee until his superior tells him that it isn't funny anymore.
* InsistentTerminology: 117 corrects the Mossad agents several times that his code number is "One Hundred Seventeen" ("Cent dix-sept"), ''not'' "[[Film/JamesBond Double-One Seven]]."

* {{Jerkass}}: Bill Trumendous.

* NaziHunter: Dolores.

* RunningGag: The Chinese assassins trying to kill 117 for killing their brothers in Gsaadt. Eventually [[spoiler: one kills Bill Trumedous for killing his brother, one of the assasins who tried to kill 117]]

* {{Tsundere}}: Dolores, who gets pushed by 117 pretty strongly to the tsun tsun side

* AffectionateParody: Of ''Film/JamesBond'' and other sexy spy thrillers of TheSixties.

* VertigoEffect: The whole scene is pretty blatantly stolen from ''{{Vertigo}}'', in fact.

* RunningGag: The Chinese assassins.

* CallBack: The way 117 chases the villain down the walkways around the waterfall is the same way he chases the villain down the streets of Cairo in the previous film. He pauses at every intersection to look around before dashing off in one direction, even though this time he should be able to see the exact path to the villain no matter where he is (not to mention the fact that some paths are ''obviously'' dead-ends).

* AllGermansAreNazis: 117 has heard about the theory that all the German are not all Nazis. He doesn't think much of it. Ironically, he chastises Dolores for generalizing that all Nazis were SS.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: [[invoked]] 117's anti-semitic comments are one thing, having a Nazi war criminal rage against the unfairness of hunting them down by quoting [[Theatre/TheMerchantOfVenice Shylock's]] famous speech...

* DistractedByTheSexy: 117 forgets about the case when he sees topless girls on the beach.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Bill Trumendous, the CIA agent.
* BlackVikings : During the Nazi Party scene, a few of the SS officers in the backgrounds are black. That was probably intentional.

-->'''Von Zimmel :''' I am a Nazi. Hath not a Nazi eyes? Hath not a Nazi hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? If you prick us, do we not bleed?

* HypercompetentSidekick: Dolores.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Lampshaded. 117 is relaxing at a party with a bunch of comely Chinese ladies when a squad of Chinese assassins burst into the room to kill him. 117 promptly engages in a gunfight that winds up with him and his girlfriend unscathed, but with all of the assassins AND all of the other girls dead. As he stands among a pile of corpses 117 says, "That almost got bad."

* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys: The CIA tells 117, "We're only allies when you need us to liberate you."

* CrossesTheLineTwice: 117's anti-semitic comments are one thing, having a Nazi war criminal rage against the unfairness of hunting them down by quoting [[Theatre/TheMerchantOfVenice Shylock's]] famous speech...

* InsistentTerminology: 117 corrects the Mossad agents several times that his code number is "One Hundred Seventeen" ("Cent dix-sept"), ''not'' "[[JamesBond Double-One Seven]]."

* SplitScreen and SplitScreenPhoneCall

* InsistentTerminology: 117 corrects the Mossad agents several times that his codenumber is "One-Seventeen," ''not'' "[[JamesBond Double-One Seven]]."

* CallBack: The way 117 chases the villain down the walkways around the waterfall is the same way he chases the villain down the streets of Cairo in the previous film. He pauses at every intersection to look around before dashing off in one direction, even though this time he should be able to see the exact path to the villain no matter where he is.

* HypercompetentSidekick: Dolores in ''Lost in Rio''.

* {{Padding}}: A largely pointless epilogue after TheBigDamnKiss.

* HypercompetentSidekick: Dolores in ''Lost in RIo''.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: 117 is sometimes utterly clueless and frequently misses the point.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: 117's anti-semitic comments are one thing, having a Nazi war criminal rage against the unfairness of hunting them down by quoting [[TheMerchantofVenice Shylock's]] famous speech...

* HypocriticalHumor: 117 thinks that all Germans are Nazis, but chastises Dolores for implying that all Nazis were SS. "Don't generalize!"
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Parodied. 117 gets into several gunfights at close range and makes no attempt to dodge. In another scene while under a hailstorm of gunfire, he goes back to retrieve a briefcase full of money, then goes back to get his jacket and sunglasses, then pauses a third time as if wondering if he's forgotten anything else.

* InsistentTerminology: 117 corrects the Mossad agents several times that his codenumber is "One-Seventeen," ''not'' "[[JamesBond Double-One Seven]]."

* SexyDiscretionShot: Lampshaded. 117 and his girlfriend start getting busy, so the camera pans away to two birds on the windowsill--and the birds start having sex.
