  This sequel isn't as good as the first, but it's still very funny and enjoyable, and I especially liked Goldthwait, he really makes this movie better than it would have been.

• Lady D

  
  Always a comical watch and one of the best American comedy film series from the 80's. Memorable scenes and a good bunch of characters.

• Luke B

  It's a natural progression, but the film was certainly rushed into production. Because of this they dropped the ball in certain aspects. Only 6 of the original cadets are able to appear, which forces more focus onto a love affair for Tackleberry. This actually works out, as Cattrall's boring character is nowhere to be seen. This allows Mahoney to go free and not be tied down. Unfortunately Harris is out, due to Bailey being busy with other commitments. Luckily the new antagonist isn't terrible, but he just misses that spark. Seeing the cadets out on the beat is quite smile inducing, if repetitive. Winslow uses his vocal techniques, people are taken aback by Smith's size, Ramsey is belittled because of her voice etc. It's familiar territory, and the new characters are hardly stand-out. Let's face it, if a film franchise like this had tried to develop its characters, we'd be even more disappointed.

• Cassie H

  
  Hilarious sequel to the first one. Steve Guttenberg still was hilarious and Bobcat Goldthwait made me crack up too! This one is definetly worth a watch! :)

• Wahida K

  
  Watch out! They've got to clean up the worst crime district in the world. But that's no problem. They're the worst police force in the universe.

• Anthony L

  
  So bad that its quite good.

• Jani H

  
  "What you got there, cologne? -No. lt's gun oil" Mahoney and his gang are back! But what made the first "Police Academy" a special comedy and a future classic in its own genre, is totally missing in this sequel. The film lacks decent comedy. There's… More
  "What you got there, cologne? -No. lt's gun oil" Mahoney and his gang are back! But what made the first "Police Academy" a special comedy and a future classic in its own genre, is totally missing in this sequel. The film lacks decent comedy. There's only just irrelevant scenes that try to make a film. Some of the scenes are funny, like the asian restaurant scene, but most of them are just plain boring. "Police Academy 2" proves that sequels are something that can, if only made to cash in easy money, ruin the good memories of the original movie.

• Derek D

  
  Not as good as the first one, but still better than the 237 sequels that followed it. What's Johnny Fever doing as a cop, anyway?

• moon r

  
  i already saw it, and i don't want to see it

• Lafe F

  
  Maintains the high quality of fun the first one had, with its goofy assortment of characters and situations. Bobcat Goldthwait's hilarious character of a gang leader taking over the city zoo is introduced.

• Dean !

  
  Watched it a little while ago and no where near as good as I remembered......one of the weakest in the series.

• Steve K

  
  Oh come on, you watched this 9,000 times when you were a kid and you laughed every time.

• Dean M

  
  Suddenly the second one doesn't look quite so bad. Police trainees fire off jokes indiscriminately in all directions.

• xGary X

  
  Sigh. The first was lame. The rest are just a waste of celluloid.

• Jason S

  
  I liked this one. It brings back most of the cast while adding a couple ne folks.

• Steven V

  
  A definate step down from the first Police Academy. Suddenly the second one doesn't look quite so bad. Police trainees fire off jokes indiscriminately in all directions.

• Joseph E

  
  Tried to hard, to do what did in the first movie. Making all the mediorce installments less than average.

• Lee K

  
  bobcat goldthwait's performance is the only reason to watch this one.

• Leo L

  
  Very funny!

• Christopher B

  
  You know that Slim Whitman song, "I Remember You"? I will never sing that song about this movie.
