The Visitors: Bastille Day (original title: Les Visiteurs : La Révolution) is a 2016 French-Belgian-Czech comedy film directed by Jean-Marie Poiré.
It is the third film in the trilogy Les Visiteurs, following The Visitors II: The Corridors of Time released eighteen years earlier in 1998. The first film in the series was released twenty-three years earlier in 1993.
The film was produced by Sidonie Dumas (Gaumont), Sylvain Goldberg and Serge de Poucques (Nexus Factory), Christian Clavier (Ouille Productions) and Jean-Marie Poiré. Poiré also co-wrote the script with Christian Clavier, as was also the case for the two previous films.
Only three actors from the two previous films appear in this third one, Christian Clavier, Jean Reno and Marie-Anne Chazel. Of those three actors, only Reno and Clavier play the same characters that they played in the previous films, namely the medieval knight Godefroy de Montmirail and his squire Jacquouille la Fripouille. They are accompanied by new protagonists played by Franck Dubosc, Karin Viard, Sylvie Testud, Ary Abittan, Alex Lutz and Pascal Nzonzi.
Filmed from April to June 2015 in the Czech Republic and Belgium, the film is with the remake Just Visiting (2001) the second film in the franchise not to have been filmed in France. It also marked the return of Jean-Marie Poiré to film directing after a long break of almost fourteen years. The Visitors: Bastille Day is a commercial failure in France.
