Animal

Animal (L'Animal, 1977) is Claude Zidi's French comedy, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Jean-Paul Belmondo takes on two roles at once: Mike, a hot-tempered stuntman nobody wants to hire, and his lookalike Bruno Ferrari, a pampered movie star who could pass for his twin.

Mike's awful temper wrecks both his career and his wedding, and his bride Jane (Raquel Welch) is ready to walk out on him. Then an action film rolls into town packed with stunts that grow wilder by the minute, and only Mike can stand in for the cowardly Ferrari on camera. What follows is mistaken identity, car chases, brawls, and one man trying to win his love back while getting punched, dropped, and set on fire for the script.

The real draw is Belmondo himself, who pulls off nearly every stunt in person, no safety net. Zidi shoots it fast, loud, and with that trademark Gallic energy where a fistfight tips straight into farce. Best for fans of old-school slapstick and Belmondo at his daredevil peak.
