Fantomas versus Interpol (original title: Fantômas se déchaîne ) is a French - Italian crime comedy from 1965 and the second part of the trilogy of the same name about the ingenious criminal Fantômas .
action
Inspector Juve was just enjoying the Cross of the Legion of Honor , which was awarded to him for his victory over the dangerous criminal Fantomas , when the latter reports back in front of the television cameras and embarrasses the hectic little policeman to the bone. At the same time, Fantomas, the master of disguise, is presenting to the public for the first time the mask that he has chosen for his actual personality, namely that ghostly blue-gray bald head with the rigid face and terrifying eyes, which so far only his accomplices and victims have seen.
Of course, Fantomas has long been working on a new coup, one of which is the kidnapping of the scientist Marchand . But before the company takes shape, his old opponent, the journalist Fandor , gets in his way again. Fandor's fiancée, the attractive press photographer Hélène , suspects that the well-known Professor Lefèbvre is also in danger because his research is closely related to Marchand's. Both work in the field of hypnosis and telepathy . Their combined knowledge would be most dangerous if it fell into the hands of a crook like Fantomas. Fandor therefore fears that Fantomas will use Lefèbvre's upcoming trip to a congress in Rome to seize the scholar.
The ambitious journalist wants to set a trap for Fantomas without first letting the police know. He disguises himself in a deceptively similar way as Professor Lefèbvre and, with his consent, goes on the risky train journey in his place. Of course, Hélène is back, but since she has secretly taken certain precautionary measures, Commissioner Juve and his assistants are also on board. The fact that Hélène also has to take care of her teenage brother Michel (played by Olivier, the son of Louis de Funès) doesn't make things any easier.
Like Fandor, Commissioner Juve has adapted the methods of the Fantomas and switched to the art of disguise, but with modest results. Apart from a few strange situations, the masquerade only earned him a stay in the padded cell . However, Fandor's role as a scientist is also overwhelmed. When the professor who stayed at home sees an embarrassing appearance of his double on television, he angrily travels to Rome to save his reputation. In the meantime, Fantomas has also taken on the appearance of the professor, because he actually plans to kidnap him in Rome without being noticed. As a result, a game of confusion develops with three different Professors Lefèbvre (all portrayed by Jean Marais), with Commissioner Juve always throwing himself on the wrong side with infallible certainty.
Ultimately, they all find themselves prisoners in Fantomas' underground realm. But the criminal did not count on the courage of the scientists, who now seem to be working for him without further resistance and are really developing a device with which one can influence people's thoughts over a certain distance. In doing so, they incapacitate Fantomas' armed henchmen, and he himself only escapes because of the device's limited range. However, the small lead is enough for him, because his Citroën DS is equipped with extendable wings and jet engines. Even an airplane that happens to be standing around ready to take off does not bring Juve and Fandor close enough to use the telepathy device. When Commissioner Juve fell from the plane in the heat of the moment, he was lucky that at least Fandor was wearing a parachute and not, like him, just an empty shell. As usual, Fantomas acknowledges the failure of the pursuers with his well-known, robot-like, monotonous laugh.

Reviews
"Fast-paced chase and horror entertainment with considerable technical effort," was the verdict of the lexicon of international films . For the Protestant film observer , Fantomas was against Interpol “[e] in a perfectly constructed, comedically played laughing hit, which deliciously satirized the overused genre milieu. A pleasure from 16 onwards. "
synchronization
Similar to the second part of the Gendarme series, Funès got an unusually different dubbing voice. The dubbing company was Ultra Film Synchron GmbH in Munich.
