This film is magnificent,it is absolutely hilarious!.It's like 'Leon' and any comedy Jackie Chan film,all rolled into one,there are bodies,dead and alive,flying everywhere!.The place is Paris,Hubert (Jean Reno) causes a major headache for his superiors each time he takes on a case,he is always so thorough,and so brutal!.However,in one instance,he manages do put the Police cheifs son into hospital,the scene where he goes to apologise the the son is so funny. Yubert is sent on vacation,he gets a call from Tokyo and learns that Miko has died. Miko is the only woman he has ever loved in his life. It has been 19 years since he left Japan,so he decides to go there with the memory of Miko in his heart and with finding out what has happened to his beloved?.He also finds out that he is the executor of her will,and also the father of a daughter he knew nothing about. There is plenty of adventure with Yubert,his old friend and secret policeman,Michel Muller,and his daughter.There is gunfights and very many knockabout scenes,plus a really hilarious one involving golf clubs with the Japaneze Mafia.

Les rivières pourpres (2000)
This is a somewhat very disturbing film,and quite a good and original thriller really.
People are being murdered in a little Swiss village,and  two cops are unexpectedly thrown together.One is Jean Reno playing a cop,Pierre Niemans who has come to Switzerland from Paris for his case,he is investigating the grisley murders.A man is first found hanging off of the side of a cliff in the fetal position,his eyes have been gouged out,and his hands have been cut off.The other cop is Vincent Cassel playing Max Kerkerian,who is investingating the desecration of a mausoleum in the local cemetry.Pretty soon these two are investingating the very same case,and with some very horrific findings.
