Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Uriah43 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.

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.

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.

bkoganbing Police Academy films are a weakness of mine, they are stupid, vapid, idiotic and funny as all hell. I do so love these characters and they are in top form as the goofball graduates from the first Academy come back to save their alma mater.It seems that budget constraints have forced Governor Ed Nelson to close one of the two Police Academies. The first one is run by clueless Commandant Lassard as played by George Gaynes. The second is a discipline factory run by the nemesis of the graduates from the second Police Academy movie, Sergeant Mauser, played with relish by Art Metrano now a commandant of that Academy.So a contest is to be held to see which one stays open and our regulars, Steve Guttenberg, Bubba Smith, Michael Winslow, Marion Ramsey, David Graf, and Leslie Esterbrook go back to help the captain they made life hell for as cadets.When you think about it, are the Police Academy movies any different than the classic Keystone Kops? A lot of the same gags are used and a lot more of them that could never have been got away with back in those days. But the idea is the same, an irreverence for law enforcement in the funniest way.These are not films to write elegant tomes about, they are films to laugh whatever part of your anatomy off you want.
