Let us be clear: Les Visiteurs 2 has zero interest in historical accuracy regarding Xerxes. The real Xerxes was a sophisticated administrator and builder. The film’s Xerxes is a screaming caricature of Orientalist despotism—but it is a self-aware caricature. The film mocks all eras equally: the Middle Ages are brutish and superstitious; the modern era is sterile and bureaucratic; the Persian Empire is opulent and irrational.
On the surface, Xerxes (played with gleeful mania by actor and comedian – wait, correction: Xerxes is actually played by Franck-Olivier Bonnet ? No, let's be accurate. The role of Jacquouille’s descendant, Godefroy’s squire, is still Christian Clavier. Xerxes is the name Jacquouille takes later? No— The Corridors of Time introduces a new, separate chaotic element.) les visiteurs 2 les couloirs du temps xerxes
