GazerRise Fantastic!
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
jacobjohntaylor1 This pretty mush might has well be a remake of the first movie. It is not really a remake but is might as well be. Police academy 2 is a better movie. And that was pretty bad. This is an awful movie. It very boring and not funny. The story line is awful. Michael W.i.n.s.l.o.w is a great actor. He wasted his talent being in this awful movie. It so mush like the first one. And the first one is boring. It is even more boring then this one. But still this very boring. Leslie E.a.s.t.e.r.b.r.o.o.k is great actresses and she wasted her talent being in this awful movie. I can believe people like this movie. It is so stupid and not funny at all.
videorama-759-859391 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.
Petri Pelkonen Commandant Lassard's Police Academy is in jeopardy to be closed.That must be prevented.There are some new recruits, including the old gang member Zed.Police Academy 3: Back in Training is from 1986.It's the second and the last of these movies directed by Jerry Paris, who died that year.There is pretty much the old cast there with Steve Guttenberg playing Mahoney.And Bubba Smith playing Hightower (also seen in drag).David Graf is Tackleberry.Michael Winslow is Jones.Marion Ramsey plays Hooks.Leslie Easterbrook plays Debbie Callahan.George Gaynes is there with his gold wish playing Eric Lassard.Art Metrano reprises his role as Mauser.As does Lance Kinsey as Proctor.As does Tim Kazurinsky playing the geeky Sweetchuck.And Bobcat Goldthwait, who was seen in the previous part as the hyperactive Zed, reprises his role.Shawn Weatherly plays Cadet Karen Adams.Bruce Mahler is Douglas Fackler and Debralee Scott his wife, who wants to be a cop too.Ed Nelson plays Governor Neilson.Brian Tochi is Elvis Nogata.Andrew Paris is Bud Kirkland and Arthur Batanides his father, and their beating up each other again.George S. Robertson plays the part of Chief Henry J. Hurst.And Georgina Spelvin is seen as Hooker again.This is a very nice sequel with a lot of funny stuff.Like Proctor's naked adventure.Or the karate moves by Jones and Nogata.And some great action, like the chase on water in the end.Not recommended for people with no sense of humor.
Woodyanders 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.
