It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Commandant Lassard's Police Academy is in jeopardy to be closed.That must be prevented.There are some new recruits, including the old gang member Zed.Police Academy 3: Back in Training is from 1986.It's the second and the last of these movies directed by Jerry Paris, who died that year.There is pretty much the old cast there with Steve Guttenberg playing Mahoney.And Bubba Smith playing Hightower (also seen in drag).David Graf is Tackleberry.Michael Winslow is Jones.Marion Ramsey plays Hooks.Leslie Easterbrook plays Debbie Callahan.George Gaynes is there with his gold wish playing Eric Lassard.Art Metrano reprises his role as Mauser.As does Lance Kinsey as Proctor.As does Tim Kazurinsky playing the geeky Sweetchuck.And Bobcat Goldthwait, who was seen in the previous part as the hyperactive Zed, reprises his role.Shawn Weatherly plays Cadet Karen Adams.Bruce Mahler is Douglas Fackler and Debralee Scott his wife, who wants to be a cop too.Ed Nelson plays Governor Neilson.Brian Tochi is Elvis Nogata.Andrew Paris is Bud Kirkland and Arthur Batanides his father, and their beating up each other again.George S. Robertson plays the part of Chief Henry J. Hurst.And Georgina Spelvin is seen as Hooker again.This is a very nice sequel with a lot of funny stuff.Like Proctor's naked adventure.Or the karate moves by Jones and Nogata.And some great action, like the chase on water in the end.Not recommended for people with no sense of humor.

Part three brings back some of the old and also promotes incidental characters to bigger parts. Zed, Sweetchuck, Fackler's Wife, Tackelberry's brother in law etc. are all now becoming police officer. It doesn't add as much intrigue as you would think, as most of the humor still relies on the characters we know and love. Mauser is the villain again, but is joined by the 2 ass-kissing cadets from the first film. The two academies going head-to-head is never really given enough room to develop, because we only see things from one side. We are just told how well the other academy is doing. It should be enjoyable enough for fans.

The series starts to run out of gas a bit with this third sequel. This time our lovable bunch of kooky oddballs have to save their alma mater from getting closed down by whipping up a motley assortment of raw recruits who include Tim Kazurinsky as the timid Sweetchuck, Brian Tochi as ace Japanese martial artist Nogata, Shawn Weatherly as the sweet Karen Adams, the sublimely manic Bobcat Goldthwait as the gloriously crazed Zed, and Debralee Scott as the fiery Mrs. Fackler into shape. Director Jerry Paris does a reasonable enough job of maintaining a steady pace and a lightweight good-natured tone throughout, but alas Gene Quintiano's tired script recycles too many gags from the previous two pictures and offers precious little as far as novel jokes are concerned. Fortunately, the last third delivers an extremely exciting and well staged protracted action set piece involving power boats and jet-skis. Moreover, the cast do their best with the so-so material: Steve Guttenberg as affable skirt-chaser Carey Mahoney, Bubba Smith as the hulking Moses Hightower, David Graf as gung-ho firearms fanatic Eugene Tackleberry, Michael Winslow as zany human sound effects machine Larvelle Jones, Marion Ramsey as the meek, mousy-voiced Laverne Hooks, Leslie Easterbrook as the stern and intimidating Debbie Callahan, Art Metrano as slimy boot licker Mauser, and George Gaynes as the bumbling Commandant Lassard. 70's porn star Georgina Spelvin has a sexy bit as a saucy hooker. Robert Folk's robust and rousing score hits the stirring spot. Not one of the best entries in the series, but nonetheless amusing and entertaining enough for fans.

Police Academy films are a weakness of mine, they are stupid, vapid, idiotic and funny as all hell. I do so love these characters and they are in top form as the goofball graduates from the first Academy come back to save their alma mater.It seems that budget constraints have forced Governor Ed Nelson to close one of the two Police Academies. The first one is run by clueless Commandant Lassard as played by George Gaynes. The second is a discipline factory run by the nemesis of the graduates from the second Police Academy movie, Sergeant Mauser, played with relish by Art Metrano now a commandant of that Academy.So a contest is to be held to see which one stays open and our regulars, Steve Guttenberg, Bubba Smith, Michael Winslow, Marion Ramsey, David Graf, and Leslie Esterbrook go back to help the captain they made life hell for as cadets.When you think about it, are the Police Academy movies any different than the classic Keystone Kops? A lot of the same gags are used and a lot more of them that could never have been got away with back in those days. But the idea is the same, an irreverence for law enforcement in the funniest way.These are not films to write elegant tomes about, they are films to laugh whatever part of your anatomy off you want.
