Bezu Fache's ID card

I found this picture on-line:

Is it a screengrab and if so, could anyone with a Blu-Ray version get a better one? Love to replicate his ID card!

Looks very similar:

Rick, I've got a template of the French police card which I copied from a genuine one.
I'll email it to you though as it was used until fairly recently, may be a bit too recent to safely put on here.

 

[RickDeG]

Thanks, looks great! That'll do, although a screen-cap is still wanted for the photo of Fache and his details...

What you have found is a scrn grab from:
Crimson Rivers II: Angels of the Apocalypse
where Jean Reno plays a Police Detective.
He also played a cop in 'French Kiss'
and there are scrn grabs of that ID around too,
so if you get stuck for a photo there's a chance of more than just one around.
I dont think he shows his credentials in the Da Vinci Code but I'll have a look for you

If you need any info about filling it in just let me know. The front only has the rank & photo added.

P.S. I've got a Jean Reno ID pic I already knocked up if you want it?

 

[RickDeG]

You guys are awesome.

I'm wondering now if the DCPJ have a different card from the Police Nationale.

My version, low res, just for fun:

Very Nice. :thumbsup

I hope to have something put together soon with the files Kenny shared.

Thanks again Kenny!

Just want to make clear in case of concern that these templates were made by myself (with a couple of elements scanned from a real card), not sent to me by other RPF members.

And remember as elsewhere there are different law enforcement agencies in France, not to mention changes in card design through the years, so one card might not suit the character you want the card for.
Cheers

I used to have one of these prop french Police (Gendarme) ID cards. Its not the same force as Police Nationale. I got mine in the early 90's and I think it was a stock 'french police' ID made in either the US or Canada for various productions in the 80's & 90's. Anyway, here's a better scan if anyone wants to create a Bezu ID.
