Louis De Funes, of course, is a wonderful actor. Especially for those who like classic comedies. I do, so I collecting his movies for a couple of years. Many can say that Gendarmes is commercial series, and it's not showing the true talent of Louis de Funes, I will not agree with it. Maybe Gendarmes in New York and Gendarmes and Gendarmettes is not a great movies, but they have their good parts too. Of course, it's not the same to the Funes's greatest hit Oscar, but it costs it's price! It's truly the best part of the Gendarmes Series! De Funes and others doing their best there. Many can say that Gendarmes from Sent-Tropes is much better, but it's not. Because there is many great jokes but not much of an action. So, I think that's it's the golden middle of the series. This movie is a wonderful piece of constant action and great jokes. Jokes there aren't the same as in modern pictures, maybe sometimes they aren't funny at all, but if you look at the people who jokes(gendarmes) - you'll see what I mean. So, for me it was a good movie in my childhood and now...it became classic!
