Directed by Georges Lautner

Antoine helps two acquaintances escape the country, who repay him with a debt transfer. All he has to do is collect from Léonard Michalon, but for that, he will have to go into much trouble to keep the man alive #filmsky #nw

Yay! He’s looking very determined 😸😸 So cute!
Nice 😁 And yes what an ending that would be!! I can 100% picture it.

There’s got to be a way to make these ideas happen somehow - I wouldn’t dare replace the actors, but continuing the film series with comics or a video game… (paging Toei!)
Oui pareil, vraiment on ne s’en lasse jamais 😌💫
15 (for the other trucker duo), 17 (because Ichibanboshi and Torajiro are a match made in heaven) and 20 (I assume it will have an explosive finale 😃)
😁😁

Fun fact - recently I was invited to dinner at someone’s house in France, and the host opened a mega strong, mystery digestive… Cue the whole table quoting this scene, one line after the other!! 😂😂 (it did slightly taste of apple 🤣)
Ok, I absolutely *love* your pitches - I would watch every single one of them!! 😁🚚 Yakuza, sukeban, international flair, double rivals, Torajiro, Fuji and Joe the Ace - what more could you want 🤩 Plus driving Ichibanboshi to his own wedding (…with Botanko?)?! Sign me up. 😃
I wish there had been 20 more!
Yes please, bring on the pitches 😁

Stéphane Du Mesnildot (dont je ne peux que vous recommander la lecture de son excellent Soleil Rouge) à propos de Theater of Life :

"Chef d'œuvre du mélodrame yakuza, esthétiquement sublime."

Très fier de cette première sortie mondiale en blu ray.
