You must remember that the DS is pronounced as "Déesse" in french, meaning Goddess. Also, the lower end model, with mechanical gearbox was called ID, pronounced "Idée" in french, meaning Idea. In the sixties, the bishop of Grenoble wanted to change a car and the discussion was wether it was convenient to buy a DS or an ID. The speech turn came to an old priest who said "S'agissant de l'évéché, il serait tout aussi surprenant de voir une DS y entrer qu'une ID en sortir". Translation : "as we speak of the Bishop-house, it would be as surprising to see a godess enter it than an idea coming out of it".

Louis de Funes was a great comedic actor, very mimical, very physical, often playing a hot tempered authority figure like the police commander. But France had and has very much it's own movie industry, and the movies are very French and a certain familiarity with Frenchness helps enjoying them. The biggest fan I knew here in the Netherlands was a friends dad, tears of laugther when there was a de Funes movie on tv allthough he had seen it before. That family went to France for vacation every year. He was restauring a Citroen DS, he got his son a 2CV to repair at 16, so it could be finished at 18. That was the first car I drove. Anyway, it's not that uncommon for Europeans to love France or be amused by the French, but it's also not to everybody's liking.

You can actually watch some of his movies even without subtitles - I had English-speaking flatmates who watched one of his classics with me, and it's often based so little on text, so much on acting and "physical" action that they had no difficulty watching and enjoying the jokes :) It's all very visual, and the action underlined with just the right music (Louis de Funes was a professional jazz musician as well, and the way the music follows the action was super important in his movies).

She sideswiped into a Mehari at the very end - a plastic bodied version of the 2cv which was marketed as a type of dune buggy. If you want to see a load of classic French and European cars from the '60s and early '70s, watch the 1971 Jacques Tati film 'Traffic'. As well as the Citroen DS, also look up Traction Avant which was their first foray into front wheel drive cars with monocoque construction and had a nearly 25 year production run. They even made them with hydraulic rear suspension in the late '40s (the 15/6 H) and also a rare V8 version.

Someone already wrote in the comments, that Louis de Funes is like the French version of Jerry Lewis. At least he is as famous in Europe, as Jerry Lewis is in the US. He has done tons of movies. Check out "The wing or the Thigh" and "Jo". I don't know how good the English dubbings are, I've only watched the German versions. I am not a expert when it comes to movies, but for this part of cultural work there is obviously a large "One Way" sign hovering over the atlantic ocean. While almost every US movie seems to make it to Europe (though I have recently noticed that we get saved from the very worst), only very few european movies are known in the US. That's sad, not only for the Americans who miss some really good stuff, but also for european actors, who have to move to the US to become recognized "internationally".

Luis de Funés was about the most famous French comedian ever. He acted in dozens of movies, mainly in the late 60s and 70s. His kind of humor was a bit OTT for my taste, much like Jerry Lewis. But some films are really good. If a front wheel drive car can keep driving if the rear is cut off, depends mainly on where the fuel tank is. I'm not sure on that with the 2CV. And of course they put little rollers under the car, so it doesn't grind on the ground. But it basically works on all front driven cars. Yes, take a look at the DS, it was a car from the future when it came out. It even saved a French president's live once, when he was shot at. Check out the episode of "Jay Leno's Garage" - of course he has got one, too - where he shows it.

A reason, why the 2cv cut in half is kind of a movie-classic, is: You have to weld just two points in the suspension and can cut it in half with it still running fine. And afaik it is one of the only cars in that era, where you can pull that off ;)
@dv7533
Жыл бұрын
While I don't have much experience working on 2CVs specifically, I have worked on them a bit. Other than the suspension issue, which is 2CV specific, there are two other complications that would be pretty universal when doing a stunt like this. One is the fuel tank, which I am not 100% sure where it's located, but if I remember correctly it's in the back like with most cars, so a small fuel tank would need to be hidden out of sight instead. The other is the brakes, again I am not completely certain about the layout of the brake hydraulics, but it was common during the early years of the 2CV to have a single brake circuit, so have a fluid leak anywhere and nothing works. In the later years it was common for cars to have two brake circuits with the brakes connected diagonally, so front left connected to rear right and the others on the second circuit. So this would still fail all the brakes since both circuits would be cut, but it it had been rearranged so that both front brakes were on one circuit and the rear ones on the second, front brakes would continue to work with the rear half of the car cut off. So yeah, pretty minimal modifications for such a stunt. The 2CV has the benefit of being kind of like a body on frame rather than a monocoque design, so you can rip off any part of the body without losing structural integrity. This in combination with the front wheel drive and simplicity makes it perfect for this stunt.

But I have the feeling that the brakes would have been much less of a concern for that stunt as I'd fear any braking would make risking a frontflip a certainty. But I might be wrong here. And regarding me saying that it was one of few to be easy with in this era: A friend just suggested that, another car that would also be easy to do this with, might be the Trabant with just some electrical wiring and the brakes to take care of, as the fuel tank, conveniently, is put in the front already.

The only modification that it (or most FWD) would need to run in that state would be the fuel tank (apart from modern safety / sensors / modules that may stop it) One thing to note on the 2CV (and most Citroen with the hydro suspension) is that rough roads / terrain doesn't take much out of the car due to how smooth it works. It's the same system used on high end s class mercs and Bentleys and Citroens were used for years as camera cars, especially for horse racing as they provided the most stable base on the rough tracks for the tracking shots. IIRC Top Gear did a piece on it (James May specifically) Which if you have never watched, is really worth a look. I'd say season 3 to season 12ish was the best, started to go much more ridiculous after that and into the grand tour.

My two cents: Louis de Funes was more or less a famous in Europe as the Marx brothers were in America. And the only reason why the halved 2CV would not have worked is that the fuel tank is behind the back seats.

The name of the actress is France Rumilly. For the most famous movie scene with a 2CV, you have to look at the introduction scene of "Le corniaud".

Aahhh, the one we (our family) used to call: "the flying nun". I did think about her as soon as I saw you "discover" the Duck (Yes, that is what we call that car in the Netherlands)

Here's a tentative translations of the Nun's few lines: 2:16 "Thankfully I know the shortcuts!" 3:00 "Thank you God, very cool!" 5:06 "Wait for me! I'm coming! I'm coming! Woohoo! I'm coming!" Louis De Funès was a French National treasure for sure, very well known for his antics and yes, faces. A very expressive man with impecable acting and comedic timings.

Louis de Funès's carrer came out late, actually when he got around 50+ yo. In regards to car gags, i suggest you take a look at the movie 'le corniaud' with that same actor de Funès. His repartees are legend in France. He also inspired a French series called Kaamelott (Round table knights) which had a great success in France.

You may want to look into the Citroen ID-19 series, an entry-level DS (ID is said "Idée" in French which means idea). Citroen made ambulances, station wagons, convertibles, a presidential limousines in the DS format BTW. Also the DS Pallas was produced, a luxury model.

That particular big Citroen was an ID 19. The later ones with four lamps were the DS. They used to split in movies, too. You ought to see the racing 2cv with BMW power!

I don't know if they're dubbed or even have subtitles but if they do, I suggest you watch some of Louis de Funes movies, they are definitely dated but if you found this segment funny, dude you're gonna love what he did :)

There have been 6 films in the series of "Gendarmes de Saint-Tropez". One of them is "Le gendarme à New York"" the only way to flip a 2CV on flat ground is to turn the steering wheel all the way and reverse at a good speed.

Even to this day in France, he is considered one the best actor to ever exist. Everybody knows him and saw his movies. His humor is based on ridiculous situations, a thing that we see less nowadays but it looks like it’s making a comeback lately.

Take a look at DAF cars (They made cars till that branch was sold to Volvo) and learn about "het pientere pookje" (the smart shifter, literally translated) DAF only makes trucks these days, and is 1 of few Dutch car brands... (the cars were great in driving backwards, due to the gearing system they invented)

Sorry my english is so bad, i will write in french. En france dans les années 80/90 nous avions des courses de "tape-cul", c'était des voitures coupées en 2 auxquels on rajoutait des roulettes à l'arrière et ça se roulait sur terre, c'était super drôle à regarder. J'ai toujours pensé que c'était directement inspiré de ce film.

At the end of the clip the 2cv hit a Citroën Méhari is a lightweight utility vehicle produced sice 1968 to 1988. It was inspired by the Citroën 2CV and was designed to be a versatile and easy-to-maintain vehicle for use in a variety of situations. And you may like The Citroën 2CV 4x4, also known as the Sahara, was a four-wheel-drive version of the iconic Citroën 2CV car that was produced in limited numbers from 1960 to 1971. The 2CV 4x4 was designed to be a lightweight and rugged off-road vehicle that could handle rough terrain. The 2CV 4x4 featured two engines, one in the front and one in the rear, each of which powered the respective set of wheels. This gave the car excellent traction and made it capable of tackling steep inclines and rough terrain. The car also had a dual ignition system, which provided added reliability in remote areas.

Funny story, in my hometown in France(population of around 3000 at the time) there was a nun who drove a 2cv, exactly like in the movie. And she was absolutely crazy behind the wheel, taking corner like pros and flat out in the small streets, she wasn't doing stunts as the girl in the movie but it wasn't far from it. Everybody knew her and hid when they saw her coming!
