Paul Marchand's car has "I am immortal" written on its back bumper and "Morituri te salutant" on its front one. The latter is Latin for "Those who are about to die salute you."
The title of the movie which is the same as Marchand's book is a proof of Paul being a fan of the Rolling Stones.
After his wound healed, Paul Marchand went in Chechnya to cover this war and commit suicide by hanging in 2009.
