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 Intercontinentale, the most secure bank of Montreal, in Quebec. 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.

Pregnant Hostage: One of the hostages is a seemingly pregnant woman and Grimm treats her the best out of all the hostages. It turns out she's Lise, Georges' girlfriend and an accomplice who carries the money away in a fake pregnant belly.

Honor Among Thieves: Grimm never abandons his friend Georges no matter how Lise tries to convince him to do it. He also makes good on his promise to buy Jérémie's silence off with a part of the heist's money. Even though Lise wants to dump Georges and leave with Grimm, she asks Grimm to give Georges his due part of the money.

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.

Not Even Bothering with the Accent
 Hold-up / int_43b154c9
comment
Not Even Bothering with the Accent: The French actors playing Canadian Commissioner Simon Labrosse and his aides didn't even bother to imitate the accent from Quebec or use vocabulary from there. The characters sound like they come from Paris more than anywhere else, and Labrosse above all. And neither does the taxi driver played by Jacques Villeret. Amusingly, Jean-Paul Belmondo did use the accent (or tried to) when Grimm escapes the bank disguised as an old man.

We Need a Distraction: In order to get the gang across police roadblocks, Grimm diverts the attention of the police towards another bank in Montreal by causing a fake bomb alert in it.

Expy: Lasky, the burly former inmate and tow truck driver with a dark beard who keeps chasing after Grimm's gang to steal them the money. He very much resembles Bud Spencer's characters from The '70s and The '80s.

Determinator: Lasky is really determined to steal the heist money to Grimm and keeps chasing him in the second half of the film, up to stealing a big rig after his tow truck gets stuck in a mound of salt.

The Taxi

comment
The Taxi: Grimm, Lise and Georges hire Jérémie, a taxi driver (played by Jacques Villeret), to escape in the second half of the film. When the taxi company calls Jérémie to warn him about taking two men and a woman as clients, Grimm has him stop in a forest, and he (willingly) ends up naked in a house while Grimm, Lise and Georges flee with his taxi.

Dark and Troubled Past: Grimm ended up in prison in Mexico a few years before the heist, for reasons that go unexplained. He met Georges there.
