The Exterminators (French: Coplan FX 18 casse tout) is a 1965 spy film directed by Riccardo Freda.

[3] The Coplan films were based on novels by Belgian writers Gaston Van den Panhuyse and Jean Libert.

[1][2] The film did not receive a theatrical release in the United States, but played on television in Los Angeles in 1968 as FX 18 Superspy.

[7] From contemporary reviews, Monthly Film Bulletin noted that "locations [were] used to imaginative effect", that the action scenes were "vividly staged", and that "it shows that Freda can do for the spy-frolic what he did for Dr. Hichcock and the swashbuckler spectacular.

"[8] In France, Image et son [fr]'s reviewer said, "two or three gadgets and as many private jokes are not enough to save an insignificant mise-en-scène at the service of a stupid story.
