    • Trivia
      Jean-Paul Belmondo performs his own stunts. He was coached by Rémy Julienne.
    • Goofs
      When Minos visits the police station in order to talk to Letellier, two healthy eyes can be seen behind his sunglasses.
    • Crazy credits
      Both the RATP (the Parisian Autonomous Transit Network) and the GIGN (the Intervention Group of the National Gendarmerie) were thanked on the closing credits.
    • Alternate versions
      There are many different run times for this film. The Euro versions run the longest and the US/UK versions (known as The Night Caller)run the shortest. However "The Night Caller" contains some footage not seen in the longer running time versions. The US version runs 91 minutes while the UK version runs about a minute shorter (with some violence cut out.)

    the best french action movie

    This movie was a replacement in France. It marks the entry of a new criminal type(Minos) in a scenery unprecedented(the cold tower).The introduction is very efficient,a woman alone in her apartment,harass by the voice of Minos. Commissaire Letellier will be change his méthods for catch Minos. The opposition between the old-fashion criminal(Marcucci) and the modern(minos) is the symbol of a new area. The stunts are incredible(belmondo=keaton and Jackie Chan)specially the chase on the subway.The Veber's dialogues are very punchy. 8/10
