| 1 | * BTeamSequel: Nicolas Bedos directed the film instead of Creator/MichelHazanavicius (the [[Film/OSS117CairoNestOfSpies two]] [[Film/OSS117LostInRio previous]] films' director) this time around. Hazanavicius didn't like the script and got busy elsewhere with ''Film/LePrinceOublie'' and ''Film/FinalCut'', and his AssociatedComposer Ludovic Bource did not come back either. |
| 2 | * CompletelyDifferentTitle: The film's original French subtitle is ''Alerte rouge en Afrique noire'' (''"Red Alert in Black Africa"''). |
| 3 | * CreativeDifferences: Michel Hazanavicius didn't come back to direct this one because he didn't like the script. |
| 4 | * DelayedReleaseTieIn: The first trailer for the film has 117 (Creator/JeanDujardin) tell the viewers to meet up with him on February 3, 2021. The movie's release date was moved to April, 14 then August 4 due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic lockdown for public-welcoming businesses being extended past early February (it eventually ended in May). |
| 5 | * DuelingWorks: Came out two weeks after ''Film/KaamelottPremierVolet'', another long awaited French comedy sequel that was SavedFromDevelopmentHell with the last installment (the final season of ''Series/{{Kaamelott}}'') dating back to 2009 (like ''Lost in Rio''). Both have some really stupid protagonists trying to work things out in service of their country. |
| 6 | * ReleaseDateChange: It was originally due to come out on February 3, 2021. It was moved to April 14 due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown being extended for many businesses, theatrical included. Then it was pushed to (and released on) August 4. |
| 7 | * SavedFromDevelopmentHell: A third Film/OSS117 film with Dujardin was planned shortly after the release of ''Film/OSS117LostInRio'', but many problems got in the way. Dujardin was also reluctant for a time because he thought society in TheNewTens got way too sensitive regarding humor that's perceived as "politically incorrect". He liked the final script enough to give it a go over a decade later, eventually. |
| 8 | * SequelGap: Came out twelve years after the previous one, ''Lost in Rio''. |
