Watch The Return of the Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The fun which audiences had due to Yves Robert's ingenuous story telling methods in "The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe" continues without any break in "The Return of the Tall Blond Man". Much of the action concentrates its focus on the notion that if a spy is created for some specific targets to be met, this person can also be allowed to die once those targets are achieved. French actors Pierre Richard as a spy and Mireille Darc as the spy's girl friend travel to Brazil as love birds where they are able to escape danger by being vigilant during all times. A key aspect of this film is about how a bureaucrat would try to do anything possible in order to please a minister ? This sub plot brings a fresh twist to the story wherein direct political involvement in matters of spies are brought to the fore. This situation gives rise to a minor yet decisive conflict between a secret agent and his contemporary.The fun does not seem to end as a lot of comic situations are added in the film to depict the futility of espionage.

Whatever the success of its predecessor, 'Le retour du grand blond' (= French for 'the return of the tall blond man') can safely be labeled as a miscarriage.Its plot, providing an almost endless sequence of just-not slap sticks, nowhere & never carries you away. Even its distant link to James Bond hardly makes sense.The only memorable scene is provided by male lead Pierre Richard, getting stuck with his finger in a street grill.However, a positive exception is made by its shooting, which is fully up to 1974-standards. But sadly that's all there is. Not even Mireille Darc is able to lift 'Le retour du grand blond' from its misery.

The charms of the last movie were lost here. The movie turned a little too absurd for me. It seemed as if a lot of things were forced and they were not able to get me to care for the characters like I did in the last movie. It was funny, but what made the last movie enjoyable just was not there. By making everything a little more ridiculous took away the real nature of the characters. I do not think they needed to make this movie. It was enjoyable as I watched it, but I could have spent the time watching a different movie. I kind of liked the ending, but it was a little predictable. Overall not a great sequel and this is why they should not always make remakes.

Between them the other two posters seem to have got it just about right. In other words this IS a sequel that works as well as if not better than the original. Those who missed the original are quickly brought up to speed with a particularly brilliant precis which concludes with a natural link that enables us to zoom straight into THIS film, picking up 'Blondie' and Christine in Brazil even as back in Paris a colleague of the late Milan is preparing the ground to discredit Toulouse (Jean Rochefort) again utilising Perrin as an unwitting pawn. The stage is now set for more assassination attempts that go comedically wrong and allow the excellent cast to turn in standout performances - Mirielle Darc gets a 'with the participation of' credit and is off-screen for the bulk of the action suggesting problems behind-the-scenes - as they did the first time around. The two films are now available as a DVD package and are highly recommended.
