Title: Did Arkin even watch the other versions?
Review: I had not heard of this film until I found it in a bargin bin at one of my local DVD shops. For a few dollars I thought it might be worth a go,......wrong! This had to be one of the worst spinoffs that I have ever come across. It makes me wonder if the script writers and Arkin had even bothered to watch any of the other versions. Arkin comes across as an arrogant tot, not like the much beloved fumbling fool as we have come to know in other films. The language he uses it nothing like what we have come to expect from the inspector, and the accents are some of the worst on screen, and if not for the scenery of the day, it's hard to find anything worth watching in this film. I had to fast forward to the end, just to see if there might be anything of interest. Unless you can find this for a dollar in a used ex-rental bin, don't bother with it.
Is the review positive or negative?
