| OSS 117: From Africa with Love / int_55232afa | comment |
Politically Incorrect Hero: 117, who else? Though this time he tries to improve things when addressing African people... and fails miserably, which only leads to more Cringe Comedy. Best seen in this exchange with a hotel employee: | |

Forgot Flanders Could Do That: In-universe. After being faced with example after example of 117's stupidity and incompetence, 1001 is both relieved and shocked that he manages to build and code a timed bomb from scratch - it's not enough to restore his Broken Pedestal, though. | |

The Loins Sleep Tonight: Hubert is now older, and fails to have sex with a woman, apparently for the first time in his life. That leads to many gags as he obsesses over this. | |

The '80s | |
| OSS 117: From Africa with Love / int_c10da874 | comment |
The '80s: 117 wishes a "Happy New Year 1981" to whoever would watch the hostage video he's forced to do, before freeing himself from his captors. The film makes several references to television shows of that time, notably a show for kids named L'Île aux enfants (which started in 1975 but continued until 1982). It includes actual pictures from back then on several occasions. | |

Shout-Out | |
| OSS 117: From Africa with Love / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The international title, From Africa with Love, is an obvious reference to the title of the James Bond film From Russia with Love. At some point a communist antagonist fights using a hammer and sickle; this is probably a reference to La Cité de la peur. | |

Africa Is a Country | |
| OSS 117: From Africa with Love / int_cdb2653e | comment |
Africa Is a Country: Played with. It is generally obvious in context that action is set in an unnamed but specific country (see Bulungi below). On the other hand Hubert uses a big, cartoonish map displaying a country shaped like Africa. He names a few places like Ugandanote that is the name of an actual country if you wonder but it is unclear whether that is supposed to be part of the country. | |

| OSS 117: From Africa with Love / int_ef255df8 | comment |
High Turnover Rate: The agency goes through spies like tissues; 117, when he hears the codename OSS 1001,is surprised that they've already gone through all the 800's and 900's. At the end of the movie, he himself says that although 1001 is dead, he will soon be replaced by a 1002,a 1003 and a 1004. | |
