- —Narrator
"C'était un Communiqué de la Prévention Routière" is a skit that aired as part of Donkey Kong Planet. The skit is a public service announcement for road safety, showing the dangers of not driving safely.
Summary
The skit stars Donkey Kong, who is driving along a country road in a Peugeot 406 above the speed limit, at 180 kilometers an hour, while also not wearing his seatbelt. He then almost crashes into Funky Kong, narrowly avoiding him. After dodging Funky, DK sees many deer on the road. He tries to avoid them, but his brakes malfunction due to the speed he was at, causing him to lose control of his car and drive off the road.
Notable mistakes and errors
- Throughout the skit, two differently-colored Peugeot 406's are used. In far shots of Donkey Kong driving along the country road, the Peugeot is gray in color, but in closeup shots, the car turns silver.
- In some closeup shots of Donkey Kong driving along the country road, one can see that the outside and the skylight have not been rendered properly, with them still showing the blue of the blue screen.
