He has no sense of humor and is repeatedly humiliated by said goofballs. The Big Enemy does criminal acts, but is easily caught after an extended chase sequence. And happily, there is no attempt at realism. I don’t need realism when I watch movies, I need fluffy elephants slipping on squirrel leavings and gratuitous music sequences. Have I even begun to talk about this movie! Good gravy, no.

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. You know what I’m talking about - Steve Guttenburgenstein. 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. The district is overrun or something by like three skateboarders, one of whom is David Spade in his first movie role. In an attempt to pass the torch to a new generation of policemen, our beloved heroes start a C.O.P.
That seems like a very irresponsible thing for police to do, sort of akin to luring human shields to protect the Real Cops. So we have the old school of Mahoney, Jones, the big guy who is Bubba Smith, the blonde bombshell, and all the rest. 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. 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. My favorite underdog is Zed (Bobcat Goldthwait), whose voice and face flutters and fluctuates as much as a ’70s cartoon. He’s funny and frightens the hell out of everyone else. Is Police Academy 4 a superb film? Um, no. Is it juvenile and appeals to the low-brow among us? Yes. Does it even blatantly rip off concepts and plots from the first three flicks? Yuppers. But does it contain the best porta-potty-exposed scene in film history? You know, I do think so.
