This fourth part in the well-known Gendarme series, because the rest wants to help an amnesiac colleague to regain his memory, resembles a sequence of scenes from the previous parts, which of course it just is!

Although clearly uninspired and easy part, the first half hour is hilarious and the dismantling of the bomb towards the end also gave me a few bursts of laughter.

A meager six, or three stars.

As a child I loved to watch the comic adventures of the famous French comedian Louis De Funès. They were therefore regularly broadcast on Dutch, Belgian and German television.

This also applies to this film and several films have also been made of the "Le Gendarme". The light-hearted somewhat bland story in itself is not that much, but the execution is funny and the film also exudes a nice summer atmosphere (of course the images of the beautiful French coastal town of Saint-Tropez also play a large part in this). Louis De Funès does it nicely and, as usual, provides the necessary humor, but the other people in the police force also contribute.

All in all just a nice comic summer film and of course also youth sentiment. I think it's funny that the genre says action, because that doesn't apply at all

The fourth film in the series now and the rinse is a bit thinner in this one than with the predecessors, but nevertheless there are enough nice scenes to entertain the viewer. At the beginning of the film, there are many references - even with footage - to the previous gendarme films. Furthermore, they have also processed a new take on the nudist scene , which is also not exactly innovative. The infiltration of the gendarmes on a psychedelic hippie party is successful and entertaining. Also the finale with the nuclear missile shutdown is nice - typical cold war material. The idea of Louis de Funés' wives and the adjutant going out with other men is nice, and could have been developed further.

A film with little consistency and it is recommended to have seen the predecessors first to be able to enjoy them to the fullest. The producers assume that the viewer is very familiar with the clumsy gendarmes. But still a generous score because I enjoyed myself.
