How many times l watch more l like....Police Academy is an immortal series that never l'll forget,have seven movies and this won't to anybody...in fact few movies had so many continuations in cinema's history....Commandant Lassard is very funny and bit of nonsense but Captain Harris and Proctor stolen the movie with so many gags and outrage situations along the movie...they are a real stooges,but every characters helps in some way perhaps it's the secret of success of this fantastic series a priceless that never ending series!!!

When "Commandant Lassard" (George Gaynes) comes up with a brilliant idea to develop volunteer citizens to help the police in their neighborhoods, he naturally turns to his best former students to train them. What nobody knows is that "Captain Harris" (G. W. Bailey) still harbors a tremendous resentment towards those in the police academy and will stop at nothing to make Commandant Lassard look bad in the eyes of all of his superiors. Now rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this movie wasn't quite as good as the first two films in this series--but it was better than the third. Much of this success can be traced directly back to Bobcat Goldthwait (as "Zed") who I thought was extremely funny. On the other hand, there were several scenes which reused the same tired, old scenarios from the first three movies which just weren't very effective the fourth time around. Likewise, in my opinion Sharon Stone ("Claire Mattson") was terribly under-utilized while "Billie Bird" ("Mrs. Feldman") was featured much too often. In any case, I have rated the movie accordingly. Slightly below average.

Commandant Lassard decides that the police force is overworked and understaffed, so he comes up with the idea of recruiting civilian volunteers to work side-by-side with officers in a program called Citizens On Patrol.Mahoney and his friends are in charge of training the civilians.Captain Harris wants to take over Lassard's job, and that's why Harris is determined to see the COP program fail.But it's Harris and his right hand man Proctor who mess up by allowing every inmate at the precinct 19 jail to escape....Part four and even Guttenberg had had enough by the end, he flew off with Sharon Stone. But as you may have read on my previous reviews, I was never a fan of Mahoney.It's more of the same here, little sketches before some random criminals escape and they can have a big showdown.Zed is the main draw again, and this time he has fallen in love with some seriously hot woman.That's the highlight of the movie. The makers knew that the series had run it's course, so they were churning these out as quick as they could.But while this film is one of the worst of the series, it still has some funny (albeit brief) moments.Plus, there is a random scene on a boat involving ninjas for no reason at all.If your a fan of the series, it gives you all the characters in funny situations, and then they all get together at the end.But just not as funny.

This movie shows us the first signs of decline of the series. The jokes are getting more and more childish and one-dimensional and there are many things and scenes we have already seen in the first three movies. There are no new interesting characters that have been added to the series and especially the young Sharon Stone does a quite disappointing job and even the presence of David Spade and the cameo appearance of the young Tony Hawk don't help in here and are just interesting side notes.But surprisingly the movie still works as we are happy to meet the old and well known characters again and even if most of the scenes and jokes are predictable, they are still funny and have their moments. When Mahoney and Jones capture two killers with some arrogant citizens on patrol, I really laughed out loud and felt entertained. When Proctor and Harris get fooled over and over again, especially in the toilet scene or the microphone scene, the whole thing is funny as usual even though it is nothing innovating or surprising. While the ending of the third movie and the chasing scenes with the boats was rather dumb, the ending of the fourth part with the air planes is really entertaining and quite spectacular.On the other side, there are many scenes that are somewhat overlong, ridiculous and boring for example the first minutes of the movie or the ninja fighting scene on a boat in the end. The entertaining parts are though still in the majority.Anyone who liked the first three movies should also watch this one as the quality only got a little bit lower and as important characters such as Mahoney and Zed are still on board for a very last time and funny as usual. I would suggest to rent this movie and have some fun and finish the series on a higher note. Only the hardcore fans should maybe go further than part four. I would give between five and six points to the movie and ultimately rate it up for this site as the average vote of this mostly enjoyable flick is still way too severe.
