Inspector Blunder (Inspecteur la Bavure) is a 1980 French crime comedy film directed by Claude Zidi, starring Coluche and Gérard Depardieu. Vladimir Cosma composed the soundtrack.Michel Clément (Coluche), the son of a police hero, follows in his father's footsteps and becomes a police inspector. The thing is is, unlike his father, he's a bumbling (and unlucky) idiot. In spite of his blatant inaptitude, he is tasked with protecting a young journalist (Dominique Lavanant), who is the target of a dangerous criminal, Roger Morzini (Depardieu). | |

Shout-Out | |
| Inspector Blunder / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Michel's mother approximatively quotes La Rochefoucauld ("l'hommage du vice à la vertu") when she criticizes Michel's friends. When he invites Roger Morzini in his flat, Michel Clément quotes a poem by Victor Hugo from La Légende des siècles to describe his father. | |

Badass Longcoat | |
| Inspector Blunder / int_d01cffbc | comment |
Badass Longcoat: Parodied. Michel's father wore one when he was shot. Michel's mother wants him to wear his father's longcoat (with the bullet holes) when he is appointed as a police inspector. Later, he wears a longcoat again to impress Marie-Anne Prossant when he arranges a meeting between her and Morzini. | |
