Release
This was one of two films that Jerry Lewis made in the 1980s strictly for European release. They have never been released in the US, although it has been given at least two tentative US release titles: To Catch a Cop and The Defective Detective.
Lewis, speaking about this film and Par où t'es rentré ? On t'a pas vu sortir, said that "as long as I have control [over distribution], you'll never see them in this country [United States]".[2]
