Reviews
Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times of July 23, 1993 that the film did not start promisingly - as another unnecessary sequel to a film that everyone but investors had forgotten (“ just one more unnecessary sequel to a movie which, while entertaining, has probably been forgotten by most of those without a direct financial stake in the retread "). Then he worked on Ebert. The relationship between the characters of the cops is affected, while Garrett says what they think, what O'Donnell plays well. Farina makes " witty " the best of his supporting role. The rest is not so good, but it has its moments. Films like this one are like chewing gum for the mind - but this one tastes better than most of them.
The magazine Cinema wrote, the film offers "chaotic fun with terrific gags" , "where a Blake Edwards his joy would have had" .
The German Film and Media Evaluation FBW in Wiesbaden awarded the film the title valuable.
