On the occasion of the broadcast of the “Belleville cop” tonight on TMC, zoom in on Omar Sy's career with a quiz where you will have to recognize 9 of his films.
While he will be the hero of an American action film Friday on Prime Video, Shadow Force, Omar Sy can also be found this evening on TMC in another action film, French this time, although shot in Miami, the Buddy Movie the Cop Belleville.
On this occasion, we offer you a quiz on the actor, with 9 of his films to find. But before you get into this not so obvious test, here are some anecdotes on the feature film by Rachid Bouchareb released in 2018.
Did you know?
A seasoned screenwriter
To write the scenario of Belleville cop, Rachid Bouchareb called on the scriptwriter Larry Gross, author notably of the Buddy Movies Cult 48 hours and 48 hours more, with Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte.
Between the fatal weapon and the piss
“”The Belleville cop is undoubtedly at the crossroads of The fatal weapon And The pissinterpreted by very large actors“, points out Rachid Bouchareb, before continuing:”Lino Ventura And Jacques Brel bring a very French quality of game and Mel Gibson And Danny Glover bring a very American sensitivity. I wanted Ricardo, of Cuban origin, embodied the United States and that Baaba Keita, which is black, represents France, because with them, it is our world that is advancing!“”
Omar Sy and Luis Guzman
As the film is a police comedy of action, Rachid Bouchareb wanted an original and interesting tandem: “Luis Guzman And Omar Sy were made to be united. I had already made a film with Luis Guzman (The way of the enemy) And I had found him a great comic potential. I had never worked with Omar Sy but I think he is a talented actor with whom I would also like to shoot dramatic films.“”
