Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hold-up is a 1985 Franco-Canadian heist action comedy film directed by Alexandre Arcady and written by Arcady, Daniel Saint-Hamont and Francis Veber, based off the novel Quick Change by Jay Cronley.Grimm (Jean-Paul Belmondo) is a clever French scoundrel who plans to rob the most secure bank of Montreal, the Intercontinentale. Dressed as a clown, he takes 30 hostages in it. While confusing and ridiculing the police and Commissioner Labrosse (Jean-Pierre Marielle) in particular with his strange behavior, he calmly manages to rid the bank of $2.3 million and flee with his accomplices, his friend Georges (Guy Marchand) and the latter's girlfriend Lise (Kim Cattrall). But then trouble arises with Lise's personal feelings for Grimm and a former prison comrade of Grimm chasing them...The novel was adapted on film again in 1990, in the USA this time, as Quick Change, with Bill Murray and Geena Davis.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Accidental Pervert: When he's wandering naked in the forest, Jérémie the taxi driver bumps into a couple that's having a romantic picnic that's getting intimate, interrupting them to ask for help. The couple's man gets angry at him and mistakes him for a pervert, since he's naked with just leaves to conceal his crotch.

Actionized Adaptation: The film added much more car chases than the book had. Jean-Paul Belmondo wouldn't have had it any other way, since he loved to invokeddo stunts himself up to this point.
