Synopsis
Fantomas Unleashed (Fantômas se déchaîne, 1965) is a French-Italian crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by André Hunebelle. This is the second chapter in the trilogy about the masked blue-faced super-villain, starring Jean Marais and the great Louis de Funès as the short-fused Commissioner Juve.
A year after letting him slip away, Juve and reporter Fandor learn that Fantômas is back. He abducts a brilliant scientist, hoping to build a weapon that will let him hold the world hostage, and the next target is Professor Lefebvre. Fandor poses as the professor and travels to Rome, only to walk straight into the criminal's hands. Juve and the photographer Hélène rush to help and spring the trap on themselves.
The film leans into gadget-heavy spoofery of the Bond craze: a periscope cigar, detachable prosthetic arms, and a finale chase featuring a flying car. De Funès is at the top of his game, and his comic rage powers the whole thing. Stream Fantomas Unleashed (1965) online on iFILM.
