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.

The third Police Academy movie, and I'm still liking it! Why? It's still funny, has all the same actors, and the story's not bad. If you liked the first two, see this one too.

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.
