Alligators and Crocodiles in Movies   OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009)   Spoiler Alert ! Some of these pictures and descriptions may give away plot details that you might not want to know before watching the film.   This is a follow-up to OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2006). (Both made by the Oscar-winning director of The Artist.) Both OSS 117 films are spoofs of classic spy movies and star Jean Dujardin as the handsome, vain, incompetent, sexist, and antiquated secret agent OSS 117, who most women find irresistible. It's 1967 and OSS 117 is on a mission to find an exiled Nazi officer in South America. After crashing in an airplane in the Brazilian jungle, OSS 117, his partner Dolores, an Israeli secret agent, and a young Nazi hippie, hike to a river. Standing on the riverbank, OSS 117 sees a crocodile or a caiman in the water and shoots it with his handgun. He drags it onto shore and tells Dolores that she should make dinner. She refuses, taking it as a sexist insult. He somehow manages to put the giant beast on a spit and tries to roast it over a fire, but it takes so long to cook, he goes hungry. It's a comic scene, so the fact that we see a giant rubber fake crocodile instead of a real one, makes it funnier.
