best movie i've ever seen.

Absolutely the worst movie.

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

A gang is terrorising citizens by robbing stores in the Wilson Heights district of town.Since a leak in the department is suspected, the Governor has chosen the officers from the police academy along with Captain Harris and Lt. Proctor to catch the criminals using old fashioned police work.When Commandant Lassard is indicted, the officers must bring the gang and Mr. Big to justice to clear his name....What grabs me so much about this movie is how much it reminds me, especially in the last twenty minutes or so of Tim Burtons Batman.Not plot wise, but just the feel of the whole thing. Maybe it's because it was released around the same time as that movie, or Burton had a spare set going.Other than that, watching this movie through rose tinted glasses doesn't do the film any good. The first time I saw this film, I was 12, and I liked it, largely because Police Academy had been shoved down my throat, thanks to the yearly sequels.Seeing it now, you realise how poor the actual film is, and that the screenwriters couldn't come up with an original idea between them.It's all the same stuff. Hightower shows his strength and has one scene where he looks frustrated.Jones makes lots of noises and does bad Kung Fu.Hooks shouts.Tackleberry has a big gun.Callahan shows her guns.Harris and Proctor get things wrong.It's what we get, time and time again, and it gets less and less funnier.

The Police Academy franchise is like Chinese food. The first PA movie was like when you first bring it home from the restaurant, it's fresh, new, tasty, and superb. The second PA movie was like the next day leftovers. Not quite as good as yesterday but still a pretty satisfying meal. The third PA movie is still edible but starting to become pungent. The fourth PA movie is when it becomes the equivalent to pig slop that you can barely keep down.And by the fifth and sixth PA movies unless you have the stomach of a goat, you'll be puking your guts out. I didn't bother with the seventh but I'd imagine it would be lethal by then.

Never saw the one where they go to Russia and do not really care too. They at this point really were stretching the premise thin with this one. However, they do try some differing things here so it is not the worst of the series that I have seen. Basically, the academy is just a part of the title to associate it with the other movies. The cast is the same familiar faces and the jokes are about the same too. Here though they are trying to stop a crime wave involving these guys who map everything out and leave very little evidence. There is a head guy who is behind it all and who he is adds a bit of mystery, but not much this is a comedy after all not a crime mystery movie. In the end Hightower has to fight someone just as strong as he is, Takleberry must face down someone as good with guns as he is, and Michael Winslow's character must take down someone as good in karate as he is. After this movie they would thankfully take a break from making these movies, and it looked like it had finally ended until Mission to Moscow would come out. Never saw it so I can not review it, and I am not going to try to track it down just so I can see and review all this movies.

Police Academy 6 is a fine piece of social comment. It is analytical in it's approach to two sections of modern society on opposing sides and the eternal struggle between them. Director Peter Bonerz goes straight for the jugular in his approach to individuals battling authority,( eg: Hightower breaking the leg on Harris' chair.)However, this battle must also be fought with the demoralised underclass, who have taken to grand theft. These villains are not stereotypical. Peter Bonerz infuses their character with dynamic and spectacular character abilities. Somersaulting bank raids are the order of the day here. Most interesting, however, is the neo- classical manner in which the films villain is unmasked,echoes of nineteenth century pantomime abound. On the whole, a rewarding experience for those of us who have had their fill of unfunny comedy productions.
