Inspector Blunder

Inspector Blunder (French: Inspecteur la Bavure) is a 1980 French comedy film directed by Claude Zidi. It stars comedian Coluche as a hapless trainee police detective pitted against public enemy number one (Gérard Depardieu). The film was a box-office hit in France. The character played by Depardieu is loosely based on real-life gangster Jacques Mesrine, who had been shot dead by police the previous year. 28 years later, Depardieu would go on to play a supporting role in the biopic Mesrine, this time portraying Mesrine's mentor.
