Quasi is a 2023 comedy film based on The Hunchback of Notre Dame produced by Broken Lizard. It was released on April 20, 2023 by Searchlight Pictures and is currently available on Hulu.

==Plot==
Set in medieval France, Quasi, a hunchbacked torturer, and his co-work and hut mate Duchamp, are torturing a torturing culinary student Michel when it is announced King Guy is to marry Queen Catherine in an effort to unite the kingdoms during Pope Week, where Pope Cornelius is to be in attendance. When Pope Week commences, a drawing is held in which the winner will be able to meet the Pope, to which Quasi wins with Duchamp's borrowed ticket. This causes Quasi to become extremely popular throughout the town, much to Duchamp's jealousy.
Quasi then plans to lead a rebellion against he and DuChamp's boss, Lucien, and Catherine becomes interested in him. He is then invited to meet with King Guy, who tasks him with killing Cornelius, otherwise he will kill Quasi. When he is at his meeting with the Pope, he tasks Quasi to kill the King during their union ceremony. When King Guy sees that the assassination was not done, he then moves his plan on the day of the ceremony as well. He tells his assisstant, Henri, that once the deed is done that he will kill Quasi, to which Catherine overhears and confides in Quasi about it.
Quasi, Catherine, and Duchamp come up with a plan where Quasi will attack both the Pope and King at the same time, but he would then be "killed" by Duchamp, and will be hailed a hero. Quasi then hides out in a cave, and the townspeople ignore Duchamp and instead mourn Quasi, whom they presume died. When Catherine goes to visit Quasi one night, Duchamp sees them getting along and leaves the cave, heartbroken over their dissolved friendship. He later drunkenly tells Lucien that Quasi is still alive, to which Lucien has Henri capture Quasi to be tortured. 
Catherine kills Lucien and saves Quasi. They learn that they both have royal blood and therefore cousins, and they decide to have sex. They escape together and attempt to find Duchamp, who they learn told Lucien about the hideout. Duchamp is captured and ordered to be publicly executed, and Henri convinces Quasi and Catherine to stay and save their friend while planning to leave town. At the execution, Quasi tells the townspeople about the planned assassinations the King and Pope ordered him to do, and Catherine reveals to the townspeople that he has royal blood. They rally behind Quasi.
King Guy and Cornelius, among a fight that had broken out that had killed Michel, Henri, and the assistant to Cornelius, stab each other and, in their dying breaths, declare their love for one another after a misunderstanding in university where they were cheated on by the same man. Quasi makes up with Duchamp and admits his love for Catherine, who reciprocates it, and they become the new rulers of France.
