Truly Dreadful Film

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

In an effort to cut costs the decision is made to eliminate one of the state's two police academies. As a result, a special task force is sent to both academies to determine which one is the best. The first police academy is headed by "Commandant Lassard" (George Gaynes) while the other is run by the villain in the previous movie, "Commandant Mauser" (Art Metrano). Being the good guy that he is, Commandant Lassard has every intention of playing by the rules and in that regard he hires some of his best former cadets to hopefully save his academy from the chopping block. Unfortunately, Commandant Mauser is perfectly willing to do whatever it takes to win and for that reason he has two of his own men infiltrate the other academy in order make it look bad. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film fails to distinguish itself from the previous two movies in large part due to the fact that it rehashes the same worn-out gags without hardly any variance at all. A joke gets old after the first time or two. Add in a very lengthy and boring chase scene at the end and even the presence of Bobcat Goldthwait (as "Zed") couldn't save this movie. Below average.

Contrary to wide opinion, I presume, this cheesy number is consistently funny, as if the movie involved a lot of short skits. As one of two academies has to close down, the bumbling Lassard's being one of them, our favourite recruits return, to train a batch of new fish. We have some more screw ups, involving Zed from number 2, plus a cute little guy with glasses, a laughing stock who bunks with Zed. We have a role reversal in one scene, featuring the accident prone, Fachler, this time the one hanging on the front bonet for dear life, before being flung off in the academy grounds, by his resilient (obstinate) wife. Speaking of laughing stock, did I mention Proctor having a bad night, when being robbed of his whole attire by that notorious, under the podium lady, played by real life adult star, Georgina Spelvin. Proctor is one character, involved in dirty play, and we know who the others are, in making sure this academy falls on it's face. But good always triumphs evil, most of the time. We have a great speedboat chase sequence, Winslow looking so cool. What's funny if classic, is his non formal introduction to the new recruits, where he uses his vocal talents once more. They come in handy especially in fighting ar..kissing. If almost surpassing the first PO, but really with anything, how can you beat the original, this short sharp sweet academy has so many funny moments, I'd be spending tonight and tomorrow, going through all of them. You're better off watching the movie, where you could bust a rib, laughing, somewhere through this watch. Total hilarity.

Steve Guttenberg, Bubba Smith, Michael Winslow, David Graf, Marion Ramsay, Leslie Easterbrook, Bruce Mahler, Brian Tochi, Tim Kazurinsky, Bobcat Goldthwait, Art Metrano, Lance Kinsey and George Gaynes star in this 1986 comedy sequel. In this entry, Commandant Lassard (Gaynes) learns that his police academy is failing and seeks help from new instructors, Mahoney (Guttenberg), Hightower (Smith), Jones (Winslow), Tackleberry (Graf), Hooks (Ramsay), Callahan (Easterbrook), and Fackler (Mahler). The academy must compete with another led by Captain Mauser (Metrano) in order to succeed. Soon, a committee ranks both academies and Mauser tries to sabotage Lassard's academy. Unexpectingly, a group of thieves take a Governor (Ed Nelson) hostage and Lassard's team attempts to rescue him. Kinsey returns as Mauser's assistant, Proctor, Kazurinsky as Sweetchuck, Goldthwait as ex-gang leader, Zed and Tochi plays Nogata, a new recruit who falls for Callahan. This is pretty good, but I think G.W. Bailey should've also returned as Harris. I still recommend this.

The series starts to run out of gas a bit with this third sequel. This time our lovable bunch of kooky oddballs have to save their alma mater from getting closed down by whipping up a motley assortment of raw recruits who include Tim Kazurinsky as the timid Sweetchuck, Brian Tochi as ace Japanese martial artist Nogata, Shawn Weatherly as the sweet Karen Adams, the sublimely manic Bobcat Goldthwait as the gloriously crazed Zed, and Debralee Scott as the fiery Mrs. Fackler into shape. Director Jerry Paris does a reasonable enough job of maintaining a steady pace and a lightweight good-natured tone throughout, but alas Gene Quintiano's tired script recycles too many gags from the previous two pictures and offers precious little as far as novel jokes are concerned. Fortunately, the last third delivers an extremely exciting and well staged protracted action set piece involving power boats and jet-skis. Moreover, the cast do their best with the so-so material: Steve Guttenberg as affable skirt-chaser Carey Mahoney, Bubba Smith as the hulking Moses Hightower, David Graf as gung-ho firearms fanatic Eugene Tackleberry, Michael Winslow as zany human sound effects machine Larvelle Jones, Marion Ramsey as the meek, mousy-voiced Laverne Hooks, Leslie Easterbrook as the stern and intimidating Debbie Callahan, Art Metrano as slimy boot licker Mauser, and George Gaynes as the bumbling Commandant Lassard. 70's porn star Georgina Spelvin has a sexy bit as a saucy hooker. Robert Folk's robust and rousing score hits the stirring spot. Not one of the best entries in the series, but nonetheless amusing and entertaining enough for fans.
