What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on Patrick Alexander's novel *Death of a Thin-Skinned Animal* (1976).
  • The final scene of the film was shot at the Château de la Ferrerie estate, near the town of Rambouillet.
  • The cars involved in the chase scene are a Fiat-131 "Mirafiori" for the protagonist and a Peugeot-504 for the secret service agents.
  • In the film, the main character hangs his badge on the dead commissar. The badge bears the inscription “BEAUMONT Josselin 56-322-460”. These numbers can be deciphered as follows: 56 is the population density per square kilometer of Côte d'Ivoire (literally “Ivory Coast,” the place of Josselin “Joss” Beaumont’s imprisonment) or its ranking in the list of countries by area at the time the film was released; 322,460 is the area of Côte d'Ivoire in square kilometers.
  • Filming took place from May 5th to July 13th, 1981.
  • The rifle used by Jocelyn Beaumont in Africa is an Armalite AR-10.
  • The cars involved in the chase scene: a Fiat-131 "Mirafiori" for the protagonist and a Peugeot-504 for the special agents.
  • In the film, the protagonist hangs his badge on the dead commissar. The badge bears the inscription “BEAUMONT Josselin 56-322-460”.
