Who else but the most intellectually-challenged police force in America, in the sixth installment of the Police Academy series. The Wilson Heights Gang, three thieves whose success as criminals is in inverse proportion to their outwardly-displayed intelligence and criminal talent, are managing to terrorize the city in spite of themselves. The increasingly feeble Commandant Lassard (George Gaynes) and his much-put-upon second-in-command Capt. Harris (G.W. Bailey) are instructed to bring the crooks to justice; of course, with the Police Academy regulars as their task force, that's much easier said than done. Bubba Smith, Michael Winslow, Leslie Easterbrook, Marion Ramsey, and Bruce Mahler are on hand once again as the comical cops; Peter Bonerz, a former regular on The Bob Newhart Show, stepped in as director. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Martin Scribbs, Low IQ Canadian
Par for the Academy course, the comedy is so-so but the 'action' sequences are dull beyond belief.
Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum
I believe this was the first movie I ever walked out of, before it came to a close.
Gary Brown, Houston Community Newspapers
A walking, talking billboard for mandatory euthanasia.

What can you expect from the sixth movie in a comedy action series? Not much, so don't expect much. The story is okay, but the jokes are old.
Luke B

One thing you notice about this movie is the abundant reliance on those one note characters. Matt McCoy gives up on being a Guttenberg replacement and is now left as an actual serious cop. He isn't a lot of fun, as everyone around him is quirky or funny.

Police Academy Trilogy is a great Piece of tasty Cake but the I was shocked by the last part "Mission Moscow"
Anthony L

Not brilliant.

Yo! We've jumped down yet another notch with a Police Academy movie #6. It seems smaller scale and cheaper made. The city seemed changed too. The jokes are spread further apart and the quality of writing seems down. Many of our favorite characters from previous films were missing. But not as bad as the next one in the series.
Dean !

A silly entry to the series, which lacks the laughs of previous films.
Dean M

There goes the same worst ones again with dull three veteran <i>Police Academy</i> cops vs three bank robbers scenes.
Jason S

Funny but silly.

There goes the same worst ones again. The jokes are spread further apart and the quality of writing seems down. Many of our favorite characters from previous films were missing.

Oh how this must have been the worst of the installments.
