And it has a maddeningly catchy song too.

"F. R. Double-E D. D. O. M. spells
(BOOM BOOM)
F. R. Double-E D..."

Thanks for sharing this. My library has a copy that I just requested. I have to see this.

Do you think he saw this and was like “time to make this my whole deal”?

Never heard of it, thank you! I had to stop watching The Boys after season 2, it was too realistic. Vought Industries!

LOVE this movie! William Klein, Serge Gainsbourg, and art directed by Guy Peellaert!!

I hadn't known Peellaert directed anything! Only know him from Jodelle.

he did some great art direction/production design back then, like the INCREDIBLE German TV special with the Bee Gees, IDEA https://youtu.be/oZ9RdE0R-Ts?si=bIu-q9Ndo0b7SCjV

Love that "gun" iconography, and those frequent cuts just so the dude can go "huhh!" That's probably the earliest music video I've seen that actually felt like a music video.

the whole special is like this - incredible stagecraft and setbuilding https://youtu.be/jmklR_5gPaM?si=uoDsv6BUZyUlfEPs
