Serge Gainsbourg with a machine gun and a chicken coup

Cannabis or 'French Intrigue' as it was called on the North American video release is a low budget film with not much to see in it besides a naked Jane Birkin getting it on. Serge Gainsbourg Smoking one cigarette after another plays a unshaven, hoodlum involved with a international drug smuggling conspiracy. Jane Birkin is a girl Serge meets on a air-plane, and nudity ensue, not Gainsbourg though which is a scary proposition seeing him in that Lemon incest video. Another memorable scene is Serge in a huge Chicken coupe shooting it out with other baddies. Soundtrack is by Gainsbourg and is very cool as with everything the man did.
