Does anyone know what the Merovingian was saying in French? or know a link that can translate it?
Nope :)
It's like 20 swear words in a row, but somehow in a coherent sentence. I knew someone who speaks French and considered it amazing.
According to the website at http://reaincalgary.blogspot.com/ (http://reaincalgary.blogspot.com/) , the Merovingian says
Nom de Dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperie de connard d'enculé de ta mère.
Which translates as:
"Name of God, of whore, of brothel, of s**t, of filth, of jerk, of arse-f**king, of your mother."
I ran it through Altavista Babelfish and got the same answer except that they translated enculé as "a***ole".
Sorry for all the swering in this post, but I guess the phrase "Excuse my French" can be very appropriately applied to this.
I saw this film on opening day.
Maybe I missed this part but who or what the heck is the Merovingian??
I don't recall anyone speaking in French at all during the film.
Who is it and what scene?
Merovingian is the lucky sap who is married to Persephone (Monica Belucci). He's the guy that Neo & company had to meet to try to get ahold of the Key Maker.

That's exactly what I said after paying good cash money to see this movie.
Now how the hell could I have missed this one!
I saw it in the theater & I must not have been paying attention.
Maybe it was that joint I smoked in the car sitting outside the theater that made me forget!
Hehe! Just kidding!

I am going to destroy all my childhood videos now....but that was quite entertaining
"un bordel" actually means "a f**king mess", and can be a very, very useful phrase
The movies were crappy. I left the theatre in both part 2 and 3's showings. The only one which is of value is part 1.
I agree The Burgomaster, these two movies were crap.
