With his wife gone, Frank realizes that police work is all he has left in life and returns to the force. Nielsen and Presley are game for anything in this outing and their pairing continues to generate laughs. The film element used for this transfer displays less film grain and fewer blemishes than those used for the previous two movies. There is a slight softness to the film s cinematography, which the transfer reproduces accurately, although there is a nice level of underlying detail in the image. Colors are vibrant and are recreated without any visible flaws.
Blacks are accurate and the picture displays good depth.
Digital compression artifacts maintain a very low profile throughout the presentation. The re-mixed Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack offers good channel separation across the forward soundstage, as well as some interesting sound effects from the rear speakers. In regard to sound effects placement, this mix is also a bit livelier than the first two installments. Dialogue is cleanly reproduced, so no one is going to miss any of the jokes. English and French Dolby Surround soundtracks are also encoded onto the DVD, as are English subtitles.
