  Not-so-fun in the sun. Being the fourth sequel in the series, it's not surprising this lacks the ingredients that made the first few films so funny. The script is a mess, the bad guys really corny and like something out of a second-rate Disney movie. Sure, it could be worse, but… More
  Not-so-fun in the sun. Being the fourth sequel in the series, it's not surprising this lacks the ingredients that made the first few films so funny. The script is a mess, the bad guys really corny and like something out of a second-rate Disney movie. Sure, it could be worse, but it's so obviously a product made just to cash in on its name. And you know it's a bad sign when a B-movie star like Steve Guttenberg declined to be in it. I'm gonna watch the last two as well, just to have seen them. But considering the state of this one, it'll be a miracle if I don't end up with any scars on my soul.

  This was the worst Police Academy movie I've seen so far. Moving the setting of a series to Miami is usually a bad sign, I guess. Still it did have a couple of laughs, so I didn't rate it any lower.

  Choosing plot over simply adding in numerous characters proves to be the downfall of the Police Academy series. Without Guttenberg there's no clear anchor for the film. We get the cliched and simple (though still charming) side characters in abundance. Matt McCoy tries to fill… More
  Choosing plot over simply adding in numerous characters proves to be the downfall of the Police Academy series. Without Guttenberg there's no clear anchor for the film. We get the cliched and simple (though still charming) side characters in abundance. Matt McCoy tries to fill Guttenberg's shoes, but we're not buying it. Callahan gets a bit more screen time which is always nice, and a Miami setting does her character justice. The final scenes of the series have included foot chases, airplanes, jet skis.etc. So now we have a hovercraft chase. Gaynes has more to do, but people such as Winslow are just on repeat. It's amazing that they will try the kung-fu voice over joke 5 films in a row and expect it to work. Not a difficult watch, and it does have an alligator fight, but this vehicle is low on fuel.

  Hold everything! The cadets are dropping in on Miami Beach.

  After a wave of sequels that seemed to get progressively worse with each one, this one picked the series back up and is probably the best of the sequels, IMO.

  Crap but I?m quite found of it. Probably my favourite of the series

• Jason S

  
  Funny but played out.

  The one with the boats, is about all I remember. Wayne Gretzsky's wife was in it too. There's some busty babes to be seen, and some of the familiar Police Academy wont-go-aways as well. The new setting took it off the streets to the beach. Forgettable I'd say.

  Probably my 3rd favourite of the series. Has a few laughs but the final chase scene is done well.

• Dean M

  
  This is the worst <i>Police Academy</i> series I ever saw that the ones who keep doing totally stupid things very loudly.

• Stuart B

  
  Super PLOP!

• Steven V

  
  This is the worst Police Academy series I ever saw that the ones who keep doing totally stupid things very loudly. With no Steve Guttenberg from this point on, the series takes a dive.

• Joseph E

  
  Not as lame as you would expect, but not as good either.
