A sequel was announced as being in development months before this film was released to theaters, with returning screenwriters Xavier Dorison and Fabien Nury working on the script, as the film was considered a guaranteed hit. However, after it failed to reach expectations at the box-office, the project was shelved.
Based on the hit French television series of the same name.
Jean Dujardin, 'Lorant Deutsch' and Vincent Perez were approached to play the Tiger's Brigade inspectors.
Les Brigades du Tigre (Tiger's Brigades) got that name because they were created by Georges Clemenceau, then interior minister (in charge of the police) whose nickname was The Tiger.
The character names "Le Préfet" is modeled after the real-life Prefect of Police Louis Lépine.
