POLICE ACADEMY 1 ZED COSTUME MOVIE
POLICE ACADEMY 1 ZED COSTUME SERIES

But does it contain the best porta-potty-exposed scene in film history? You know, I do think so. Does it even blatantly rip off concepts and plots from the first three flicks? Yuppers. Is it juvenile and appeals to the low-brow among us? Yes. Is Police Academy 4 a superb film? Um, no. He’s funny and frightens the hell out of everyone else. My favorite underdog is Zed (Bobcat Goldthwait), whose voice and face flutters and fluctuates as much as a ’70s cartoon.

Thus follows a long sequence of Harris “This program is going to fail and I’m gonna make it fail,” Mahoney “Just give them a chance, I know they can do it,” new screwballs going through training, a few romances, Evil Guy shows up, everyone saves the day.

They pal around with The Policedudes: The New Batch, which consist of David Spade, a bloodthirsty old lady, and a really fat guy who’s the only one to make it onto Police Academy 5. So we have the old school of Mahoney, Jones, the big guy who is Bubba Smith, the blonde bombshell, and all the rest. That seems like a very irresponsible thing for police to do, sort of akin to luring human shields to protect the Real Cops. In an attempt to pass the torch to a new generation of policemen, our beloved heroes start a C.O.P.

POLICE ACADEMY 1 ZED COSTUME MOVIE

The district is overrun or something by like three skateboarders, one of whom is David Spade in his first movie role. Despite being as famous as Showgirls and rich as many kings, Steve decided that this was it for Officer Mahoney.Īt the film’s onset, we’re treated to the most ’80s rap ever (you know, back when you could understand the words rappers were rapping about) and the worst criminal act known to mankind: skateboarding. You know what I’m talking about - Steve Guttenburgenstein. Although Police Academy 5 was a decent run (and about the last watchable Police Academy movie made), number four is the end of the original franchise. Have I even begun to talk about this movie! Good gravy, no. I don’t need realism when I watch movies, I need fluffy elephants slipping on squirrel leavings and gratuitous music sequences. And happily, there is no attempt at realism. The Big Enemy does criminal acts, but is easily caught after an extended chase sequence. He has no sense of humor and is repeatedly humiliated by said goofballs. The Mean Enemy usually is associated with the goofballs and tries to make them look bad at every opportunity. I personally like the movies, mostly because they embrace the best of what eighties cinema had to offer (collective groan from the audience: “Oh, jeez, not THE EIGHTIES lecture AGAIN! Please! I’d rather have my colon sucked out my belly button than that!”).Ī bunch of screw-ups, all with one-note characters (Look! Jones makes funny sounds! Tackleberry likes heavy weaponry!). The Police Academy movies are seen by many as a low-rent Naked Gun gagfest, or a high-rent episode of COPS. Star Trek IV took Trek into comedy, Critters 4 went to space, and The Next Karate Kid got downright Swanky.

POLICE ACADEMY 1 ZED COSTUME SERIES

Sure, that sheriff might be direct-to-video, marking this film series as a lame joke, but sometimes that sheriff might be rustling up the posse for an a new twist. Justin’s review: Okay, now there might be rules on trilogies, but when a series heads into its forth film, there’s a new sheriff in town. Justin’s rating: Five bullets in six-chambered revolver which loads from a seven-stock belt out of a nine-piece outfit.
