aka: The Visitors: Bastille Day

Film Synopsis

Once more lured into the corridors of time, Godefroy de Montmirail and his faithful vassal Jacquouille end up being thrown into one of the most turbulent and bloody periods in the history of France: the French revolution.  Just their luck to arrive at the time when Robespierre's Reign of Terror is well underway and heads are falling like autumn leaves.  It so happens that the descendents of Jacquouille La Fripouille are diehard revolutionaries who have confiscated the château and all the personal effects of the descendents of Godefroy de Montmirail, a breed of arrogant aristocrats whose worthless lives hang by the thinnest of threads...
