City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume (Nicky Larson et le Parfum de Cupidon) is a French action comedy and a Live-Action Adaptation of the City Hunter anime and manga directed by and starring Philippe Lacheau. It was released in February 2019. The story is like a classic City Hunter anime episode, and the film is titled Nicky Larson in French after the Protagonist Title of the (more comedic) French dub version of the anime that aired in The '90snote Ryo Saeba is then named "Nicky Larson", Kaori is named "Laura", Saeko is named "Hélène" and Umibôzu is named "Mammouth". As such, the film is heavy with nostalgia for what French fans call the "Club Dorothée era", Lacheau being a part of that generation himself.note The Club Dorothée was a TV show that introduced a whole generation of French children to Japanese anime and tokusatsu television series like Fist of the North Star, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Saint Seiya, Ranma ½, Sailor Moon, Choudenshi Bioman, and of course City Hunter — albeit with heavy censorship and many a Dub Name Change, inconsistencies and hilarious voices at the time. A client, Mr. Letellier, hires the City Hunter duo to protect the so-called "Perfume of Cupid". When Ryo doubts the perfume's effect, his client (a man in his 60s) uses it on himself and makes Ryo smell it. The effect is almost instantaneous, Ryo falls in love with his client and gradually loses interest in women. Worse, Umibozu barges in and steals the perfume with the countermeasure in it, but the two chemicals then end up in the hands of an unrelated civilian named Mr. Skippy in the ensuing scuffle. To fulfill his job and return to his normal self, Ryo must then follow Skippy's trail as the latter quickly discovers the potential of the perfume. Hilarity Ensues as well as badassery and drama.Lacheau has talked about his ideas for a sequel project, which could be a crossover with another famous Tsukasa Hojo creation, Cat's Eye. He also had a hand in importing the contemporary anime film City Hunter: Shinjuku Private Eyes in France.For the 1993 film starring Jackie Chan, see City Hunter.Although in its native language the movie uses the names of the bowdlerised French dub of the anime in the late 1980s/early 1990s, this page will use the Japanese names for the sake of clarity.The movie got a Japanese release in November 2019 under the name City Hunter - The Movie: The Most Aromatic Mission in History. | |

Canon Foreigner: Mr. Skippy and Poncho are major characters who aren't in the original series, obviously created so as to star alongside Lacheau again after their previous successful comedy team-ups. | |

Love Potion | |
City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_14a8974a | comment |
Love Potion: The Cupid's perfume. If sprayed on someone, anyone who smells it will fall in love with the user not long after; the attraction is near instantaneous and will stick if the antidote is not applied in the following 48 hours. Moreover, one can spot if someone is under the effects of the Cupid's perfume by their reddish eyes. Finally it's revealed that the perfume doesn't work for someone who's already in love with the user, as Kaori happily learns. | |

Diegetic Soundtrack Usage | |
City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_19e9b150 | comment |
Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: When Ryo arrives at the gala, the orchestra is playing a remix of the Nicky Larson theme from the French dub of the anime — and the singer is Jean-Paul Césari, the original interpret of the song. The chorus would cause someinvoked Fridge Logic within the movie's context since it repeats "Nicky Larson" several times, but these parts are always covered by the dialogue. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The infamous trailers undersell the City Hunter license and focus a lot more on the Poncho and Mr. Skippy characters, obviously aiming for the mainstream French audience and more playing on the success of the director/actors's previous comedy films. | |

The Cameo | |
City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: There's an appearance of Frédérique Hoschedé, better known as "Dorothée", as an airport employee. She was the host of the late 1980s/early 1990s show Club Dorothée, which featured the dubbed City Hunter anime on French TV (as "Nicky Larson") and contributed to the familiarization of French audiences with anime in general (albeit with very bizarre, comical or nonsensical French dubs). | |

Visual Pun: As well as a Shout-Out. Ryo has put a painting in his bathroom, one that shows a "Chevalier du Zodiac" (in English, a knight on an inflatable dinghy). It's a visual pun in reference to Les Chevaliers du Zodiaque, the invokedFrench title of Saint Seiya when it was first broadcast in France in the Club Dorothée show, which the movie homages here and there. | |

Attractiveness Discrimination: Skippy regularly abuses the Cupid's perfume to get better client service and secure his path to his idol Jessica Fox. He uses the perfume to seduce an airport clerk to get a flight to Monaco, gets three top models to push his car to the hotel and is implied to get a room at a full hotel thanks to it. | |

Apparently Ryo underwent therapy for his sex addiction, not helped at all by the therapist having an Embarrassing Slide in his Rorschach blot slideshow, showing him trying out archery in a nudist camp. Later, Ryo tracks down Umibozu, after he grabbed the Cupid's Perfume, into a hospital, where he meets the therapist again... only now he's a patient. With an arrow in his ass. | |

Lingerie Scene: Plenty at the gala with gorgeous models, since it's sponsored by a lingerie brand. Ryo even wanders into their dressing room, but he's too affected by Cupid's perfume at this point to care about the scantily clad women. Kaori too ends up in her underwear after a Stripping Snag from an elevator, and is mistaken for one of the lingerie models by guests, to her acute embarrassment. | |

Said man ends up being Poncho. Mr. Skippy ends up taking the perfume's briefcase, mistaking it for his own, kickstarting the plot of the movie. | |

Butt-Monkey: All of the featured characters are made fun of at their expenses. Umibozu falls in one of Ryo's mean traps. Grab a man's penis when trying to take his gun, is knocked out by Kaori when fighting Ryo after she used a syringe with a general anesthetic on him. Then Ryo puts him on in a bed in line for plastic surgery. Next time we see him, he gets all his "bottom" hair removed by laser surgery. He's not happy about this after. Mr. Mokkori, the mayor of the fictional city where the characters lives. He gets punched in the dick multiple times, gets disfigured by needles. Is defenestrated naked and lands on a bus while unconscious. The next time we see him, he gives an interview with a very ugly and disfigured face. Poncho is usually on the receiving end of jokes and punchlines. Ryo and Kaori try to get rid of him at every possible occasion. One of the Black Hand mooks go through more than a few Amusing Injuries, including being dangled by his underwear during the P.O.V. view fight or thrown out of a car (in slo-mo) and slamming into a billboard. And at the end he's the one to get the bomb belt around his waist, which he doesn't notice until it's too late and he already walked outside the factory. Boom. | |

Truth Serums: Half into the movie, Ryo is injected with a very effective truth serum. He always answer truthfully to any question without lying. Hilarity Ensues After Ryo kicks the truth serum's syringe at one of the bad guys, he too can't tell a lie to save his life. He accidentally reveals that he's a mole for the cops and that he was having sex with his colleague's sister — at which point they start fighting each other, allowing Ryo to escape and kick their asses. | |

City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_4cbc7f95 | comment |
Blasting It Out of Their Hands: Ryo first blasts the Black Hand boss's gun after he fires on Kaori and hits Mrs. Skippy, but the latter refuses to surrender and throws them a grenade. Ryo later blasts the Black Hand's gun out of his hand, from hundreds of meters away, through a concrete wall and by shooting several times at the same spot to get through it. | |

Thinly-Veiled Dub Country Change | |
City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_5b0a14b1 | comment |
Thinly-Veiled Dub Country Change: The movie's crew didn't have the money to film the movie in Japan and it would lead to strange things — a movie full of French-speaking French living in Japan. So the movie was shot in France but the city in which the characters lives is made to look like Tokyo via careful selection of the sets. But the last part of the movie references southern France. So it does happen in France but doesn't look like Paris at all. | |

Kaori is strapped to a bomb belt which will go off if she takes it for too long and gets out of the factory she's in. Cornered by henchmen and out of bullets, Ryo takes out Kaori's belt, puts it on after forcing Kaori to safety, and prepares to meet his doom. It is then revealed that Umibozu saved him and he faked his death to trap the final bad guy. | |

City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: At the end of the movie, the Black Hand is unmasked and is thrown in jail. Then Ryo and Kaori use the last remnant of the perfume encased in a small glass ball and shoot him with it. Everyone around him falls in love with him, including two burly inmates, a prison guard and a dog. The Black Hand can only mutter "Oh crap, OH SHIT!" | |

Shoot Him, He Has a Wallet! | |
City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_94e7d8f | comment |
Shoot Him, He Has a Wallet!: When Skippy walks toward Jessica Fox with a hand in his jacket, the bodyguards try to stop him. He's so entranced by the star, however, he doesn't even acknowledge that they are beating him up (in slo-mo). They find out afterward that he was just pulling out his cell phone to ask for a selfie. | |

City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_9cdef1ef | comment |
Lovable Sex Maniac: Ryo, who else? At best, he's misusing his sniper rifle to look at women in a gym or invites his best friend to a hostess club. At worst, he solicits sex from a bride (during her wedding), a grieving widow (during the funeral), or a nun (during her prayer). Nonetheless, he's an honorable guy who cares for Kaori. | |

Foreshadowing: Ryo describes Umibozu as a Punch-Clock Villain. In the climax, he's talked Umibozu into a Heel–Face Turn by convincing him that they had both been played by the Big Bad. The Black Hand boss has a dog he always plays fetch with. He is then Hoist by His Own Petard when he throws a grenade but the dog gives it back to him all the same. At the beginning of the movie, Mr. Letellier talks about the rumors he heard of Ryo's exploits, including how he supposedly "can shoot six bullets at the exact same spot." In the movie's last climax, Ryo does exactly that to defeat the Big Bad. | |

No-Sell: At the very end of the movie, Kaori uses the perfume to have Ryo fall in love with her. At first glance, it doesn't work on him, his behavior doesn't change and he doesn't get all lovey-dovey at all. It's implied it's because he already loves Kaori, so the perfume doesn't have any effect whatsoever. | |

Adaptation Name Change: Zigzagged trope. The movie is an adaptation of the French version of the City Hunter anime, which already underwent Adaptation Name Change to make the names more familiar to French audience. Thus, in a way it is both faithful to the French dub which the French are familiar with, yet does deviates from the original material. Ryo Saeba is "Nicky Larson", Kaori and Hideyuki Makimura are "Laura" and "Tony Marconi", Umibozu is named "Mammouth" and Saeko Nogami is "Hélène Lamberti". | |

City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_deecc9eb | comment |
Awful Wedded Life: Mr. Skippy is quite unhappy in his marriage, between his vulgar harridan of a wife and his disrespectful son. No wonder he jumps on the occasion to have an adulterous tryst with his idol when he gets his hand on the perfume. | |

Dub Name Change | |
City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: As it is also an Homage to the bowdlerized so-bad-it's-good dub of the anime in the late 1980s/early 1990s, which is very well-known in France, the movie uses the French bowdlerized names of the characters: Nicky Larson for Ryo Saeba, Laura Marconi for Kaori Makimura, Tony Marconi for Hideyuki Makimura, Helene Lamberti for Saeko Nogami and Mammouth for Umibozu. This page uses the Japanese names for the sake of clarity. | |

Only a Flesh Wound | |
City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_e663d3ef | comment |
Only a Flesh Wound: Ryo being Shot in the Ass by Kaori is treated entirely comedically, and only as a minor annoyance. He later says that he was lucky that she only grazed him. Mr. Skippy is hit in the shoulder with a bullet that was destined to Kaori. Afterward, he's only seen wincing in pain a bit and still go on unhindered. That doesn't even spare him from suffering more Amusing Injuries. | |

Strapped to a Bomb | |
City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_e7e3674 | comment |
Strapped to a Bomb: After being kidnapped by the villains and brought to the abandoned factory, Kaori is strapped to a bomb belt that react to her pulse, and thus would explode if they try to remove it or if she leaves the perimeter. (Theoretically, it also means it would go off if she's killed, but that doesn't stop the bad guys from trying to gun her down too during the big shoot-out.) The bomb forces Ryo into a (seeming) Heroic Sacrifice to save Kaori. | |

City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_e7e558 | comment |
The Oner: The P.O.V. Cam scene, including Ryo's interrogation by the bad guys, then him managing to free himself and fight the henchmen, is at first a fairly long unique shot — for an extremely complex scene involving lots of fighting, special effects (the revolvers being caught by the scrapyard electromagnet) and concluding with a car crash. There is one cut to Kaori, before returning to the P.O.V. Cam again to finish the fight. | |

Lie Detector | |
City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_e8b49369 | comment |
Lie Detector: The gala features a special attraction to entertain the guests: a booth containing a lie-detector machine manned by a "fashion police detective". Kaori isn't enthused by the prospect, but is forced to hide inside to not get caught by guards. There's no cables involved, the subjects just put their hand on a glass pane which detect their vitals, and the whole booth glow red when they lie. Questioned about her love life, Kaori's responses hint she's in denial about her feelings for Ryo. | |

Groin Attack: Kaori hides a crab inside of Ryo's bubble bath. Ryo actually spots the crab and takes it out of the water but forgets to put the crab away from his crotch anyway. Kaori is delighted to hear his screams of pain. In the scrapyard brawl, we have one mook suspended from a crane by his underpants, while another one is headbutted in the nuts. | |

Stripping Snag | |
City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume / int_eb5571a6 | comment |
Stripping Snag: At the gala, the tip of Kaori's dress gets caught in an elevator door as it is going up. She avoid getting stripped at first by stubbornly clinging to her dress, which results in her being lifted from the floor. Then Poncho tries to help her, but the elevator is stuck and he has to go up one floor by the stairs to make it move down. Of course, he mucks it up by going one floor too low, and this time Kaori's dress is ripped off her body, leaving her in underwear and garter belts in the hallway. | |

Ironically, the backer would have been a typical pretty client of Ryo's in normal circumstances. | |

Also, one of the henchmen of the Big Bad, under the influence of a Truth Serum, infuriates a co-worker when he reveals that he dates (or rather considers as a one-night stand) the sister of this other henchman. | |

And it wasn't even him who did it, it was Black Hand. She gets another shot to expose him instead, at Ryo's fake funeral. | |

He notably mentions that his son isn't their biological child, that they found him on a parking lot at a time he and his wife were thinking about adopting a dog. The son is indignant... that his mother always refused him to have a dog. | |

Shown Their Work: The film has an almost perfect, incredible respect to the original manga and anime, dubbed or not. The attention to details, scenes taken right from the manga and the overall personality of the characters is spot on. Philippe Lacheau even had a meeting with the original author Tsukasa Hojo with pages from the manga to illustrate his story and what he wants to adapt in the movie. Tsukasa Hojo noted that he received multiple propositions for a City Hunter movie but refused them all until then (except the Jacky Chan movie) because they were mostly action movies or Die Hard clones and that's not really what the story is about. | |
