If you've got VobSub (included in the rar file), MPC or FFDShow, you can play this trailer with my fansubs.

Looks good IMO (so far).

There's also an old Youtube teaser:

You already know everyone is going to be calling it Jacquou le Croissant...

Most french people don't know what "Le Croquant" means, so I suppose you're right.

Haha, Tchéky Karyo. Can't act to save his life. Eg Wing Commander Movie.

"Jacquou the Cruncher/Crunching" (?)

What does it translate to? i.e - not literally.

Thanks for the trailer I'm downloading it.

Agreed. He always plays the same pissed off (because he can't act) character.

Jacquou is just a first name.
"Croquant" comes from the verb "Croquer", which means "to eat/devour".

If memory serves, "Les Croquants" is what peasants used to call the nobles in the 18th century (give or take a few hundred years ).

So: Jacquou the Noble (sort of).

Re: Tchéky Karyo:
He has a very limited range, but I think he was OK in stuff like Bad Boys, Kiss of the Dragon and Patriot.

D'oh! I typed it wrong then. I used "crocquer" (sp?)

Cheers Tom. Oh yeah he was good in Bad Boys, otherwise pah.

It reminded me of Rob Roy. It looks pretty good, if a little to sentimental.
