Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The flying car scenes used a real Citroën DS modified with hidden wheels; the 'flight' was achieved by driving off ramps at speed.
Fantômas originated in 1911 French pulp novels and became a surrealist icon—Breton and Éluard worshipped him as the ultimate anarchic spirit.
