* AllStarCast: The cast is pretty much a Who's Who of French comedic actors in the early [[TheEighties 1980s]], from the older generation (Jean Carmet, Creator/MichelGalabru, Jean Yanne, Creator/RogerCarel) and the then-new (the Splendid' theatre troupe -- Creator/ChristianClavier, Creator/GerardJugnot, Creator/ThierryLhermitte, Creator/JosianeBalasko, Martin Lamotte, Michel Blanc, Dominique Lavanant, plus Jacqueline Maillan, Creator/JacquesVilleret, Roland Giraud), and then some other famous names in [[TheCameo cameos]] (Julien Guiomar, Jacques François, Jean-Claude Brialy, Bernard Giraudeau). Producer Christian Fechner explained he wanted to give the film an air of ''Film/TheLongestDay'' (which is referred to in the {{tagline}} that says the film "cost more than the Normandy Landings") with such a massive cast in order to compensate for the passing of the superstar he originally intended to cast for it, Creator/LouisDeFunes.
