Audience Reviews for Police Academy 7: Mission to Moscow

  "We're all off to Russia to kick many, many buttskies." The Police Academy series may be dead, but they still have one last Mission to Moscow. When the Russian police are unable to catch suspected mobster Konstantin Konali, they naturally turn to Commandant Lassard's Police Academy misfits. The story is ridiculously awful and doesn't make a bit of sense. And the Academy team is down to just Lassard, Tackleberry, Callahan, and Jones (and Harris if you consider him to be part of the team). Yet there are some good actors slumming it here, such as Ron Perlman, Claire Forlani, and Christopher Lee. Police Academy: Mission to Moscow aggressively tries to hit rock bottom, and it does so brilliantly...killing the series.

  The worst sequel of Police Academy and the worst sequel ever produced. How even this movie was made?

  So Russia finally lets the US of A film in their country around important historical communist landmarks, and what is the first production to gain this honour...Police Academy 7. The first sequence in the film and straight away I notice a huge blooper! The news reporter on TV is playing with a Gameboy (I think), apparently playing a new popular game. On closer inspection, as we get close ups, you notice there isn't actually a game cart in the back of the GB, utter fail in the first five minutes. The plot kinda sounds OK when you think about it, the Russian mafia laundering money under the guise of a highly addictive and popular videogame. The bad guys use this game to be able to hack into any computer system it has been played on, hence they are able to commit many crimes. So Lassard and his best men are brought in to bring down this Russian gang led by a well cast Perlman. The cast for this final outing is sparse, we still have Tackleberry, Jones, Callahan, and Harris, but we are missing many of the regular officers such as Hightower, Hooks, Proctor, Fackler, Nick Lassard and of course old Mahoney. This time without Nick Lassard as the Mahoney replacement, we have another replacement, this time for Nick Lassard! This new recruit looks like a young Matt McCoy (Nick Lassard) but has none of the charm, I'm not even sure why he's in the film really as he pretty much does nothing. That is the whole problem with this film, nothing actually happens. There aren't really any pranks, not many laughs, no training sequences (thank god) and not much plot excitement. There is one amusing sequence where Harris and Tackleberry join in on a Russian ballet performance in full get up, but that's about it really. There are some silly acrobatics from some Russian cops that seem to be mute, a mediocre car chase and a small hint of humour. Not even Harris or his Russian equivalent can help this film. Unfortunately its a poor exit for the franchise with this final film, the last film was quite good at times but this is really dull and not at all visually exciting, its all filmed on location in Russia but it looks grim. Cultural differences are of course used but none of it really works, its just not funny. The fact that Cmdt. Lassard spends half the film AWOL with a Russian family merely by accident just seemed like the writers had no idea what to do with him, he's virtually a cameo. Quick mention for Christopher Lee who looks quite good as the Russian Cmdt. but I have to wonder why he agreed to this bottom of the barrel flick. The final curtain falls on this quite historic franchise but not to a standing ovation I'm afraid, bit of a stinker.

  When I reviewed the first six films, the clear indicator of the poor story quality was the rushed pre-production period. This wasn't the case here though. This film is a mess and is an odd mix of slapstick and no storyline. Why did they need to go to Russia? Laughable. It's exactly like going to Miami. They don't have jurisdiction. This was a final nail in the coffin for the franchise and I can't defend the film series. Number 6 has a few well constructed moments, but there is nothing here. No real reason for existing and it's not even by the numbers, it's just bad. One of the worst films ever created and showcases the issue of filmmaking in the studio system. A sad goodbye for the cast and they didn't even respect the audience by bringing back everybody. 12/12/2019
