Movie Info
In this third installment of the slapstick comedy series about novice police officers with less than dubious abilities, two police academies have to compete with each other in order to stay in business. The state's skinflint governor claims he has less money to spread around, so one of the police training academies is going to be axed. Commandant Lassard (George Gaynes) calls back some of his former recruits to train the new batch of students, hoping to get the edge on the rival academy. Among

It's perfectly serviceable.
More of same slap-shtick w/familiar cast of goofballs.
You can argue quality, you can argue taste, but you can't argue the phenomenal success of these cheaply made joke-fests.
Deadly-dull pacing and overuse of old gags ruin Police Academy 3, the first of the franchise to come anywhere near 'enjoyable.'
The franchise hasn't changed, but that means the humor is still amiably the same, too.
