- TriviaKelly Preston: As Reese calls his girlfriend from the Eiffel Tower cafe, Kelly Preston can seen sitting behind him. She is wearing sunglasses and seated at a table with two children.
- GoofsDuring the car chase Wax leans out of the passenger side window of the Audi, aiming his rocket launcher across the roof towards the terrorist's car, which travels on the driver's side. In several shots it is clearly visible, that the Audi has a glass sun roof. This type of roof can always be opened with Audi. So rather than leaning at high personal risk out of the passenger's side window, it would have been the logical thing to do for Wax to open the sunroof which would have also provided a much better field of fire and be at the same time be far less risky.

FBI agent Charlie Wax: This motherfucker hates Americans so much, even though we saved his country's ass in not only one world war but two, he still won't let me through with my cans!

Featured review
Wax On, Wax Off
What a ride! After enjoying instant cult action movies like 'Banlieu 13' and 'Taken', I was reluctant to watch what Pierre Morel's latest work was going to turn out to be. The verdict: kick ass.
As his previous movies, the french director continues to carry out his trademark. He makes the viewer dive into the action right from the beginning and in a vertiginous ride that is maintained until the end of the movie. It is what you expect from the excellent action scenes: gun shooting, explosions...but the thing is that they are directed by a real specialist, so you won't be disappointed.
Again, one kick-ass character is revealed and this one, Charlie Wax is a surprise because it is brilliantly portrayed by a metamorphosed John Travolta. Metamorphosed because he simply rocks with his bald head, goatee, earing, taliban scarf, gun techniques, martial arts moves and how can we forget his 'lady' gun. He simply is the movie's main attraction.
As usual, some people will criticize the plot for what it is and they could be right. Sure it's not an academy award winning one, but as to me, I thought it was decently competent and it had some nice twists in it too.
Finishing, 'From Paris With Love' is a kick-ass action movie and rollercoasting ride settled in the lovely Paris. This genre lovers will not be disappointed as well as Pierre Morel's fans - 7/10.
