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!!!

Commandant Lassard creates a new program Citizens on Patrol. Of course, Captain Harris is against the idea and works to undermine it as the temporary commander. Mahoney (Steve Guttenberg) and the gang have to train the ragtag group of new citizen recruits. The newcomers include elderly Lois Feldman (Billie Bird), Laura who likes Zed, skateboarders Kyle (David Spade) and Arnie. Reporter Claire Mattson (Sharon Stone) is doing a story on the program.The franchise is tired. The old gang isn't doing anything particularly funny. The new people aren't given great material. Laura and Zed could have been good but everything else sucks. Even the return of Harris can't save this. None of this is funny.

This one and part three are the best ones in the series that I've seen. Harris macing his armpits is one is one of the more memorable gags in the series. The cinematography is stark and bare, with only the soundtrack adding some effect. It's not a good movie, but it is a good Police Academy movie. The acting is very effective. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. We watch here a deep study of the rural countryside of the deep America. Great performances help to enhance this amazing story.

Argh! How bad is this!? From director Jim Drake and writer Gene Quintano, the typical decline of the movie series finished with this film, "Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol". "Police Academy" went from very funny to indescribably woeful in just four tries. They were still churning these out at the rate of one a year back then.No wonder Steve Gutenberg bailed after this one. I guess none of the others could find alternate work. Michael Winslow, David Graf, Leslie Easterbrook, Bubba Smith and even G.W. Bailey all returned. Also starred Sharon Stone!Sunday, January 9, 2000 - Video
