Police Academy: Mission to Moscow (1994)

The Russians need help in dealing with the Mafia and so they seek help with the veterans of the Police Academy (1984). They head off to Moscow, in order to find evidence against Konstantine Konali, who marketed a computer game that everyone in the world is playing. With a sequel to the game he wants to put backdoors in all computer systems on which it gets installed, thus providing access to the police and other government systems. Police Academy 7 is definitely my least favorite of the Franchise and even tho it's not awful it's nowhere near as good as the other six films plus kind of disappointed with the characters of Lee and Perlman. Overall just a decent conlusion nothing more.

Needing help to deal with a powerful member of the Russian mafia, "Commandant Rakov" (Christopher Lee) of the city of Moscow requests the assistance of "Commandant Lassard" (George Gaynes) along with some of his best police officers to advise and assist them. However, when his team gets there they discover that there are those within the Moscow police department who aren't so keen on obtaining their help. Likewise, "Captain Harris" (G. W. Bailey) has his own agenda which isn't necessarily the same as everyone else as well. At any rate, although the movie started off well enough it soon reverted to the same old gags featured in all of the other films in this series and everything—and everyone—seemed to be simply going through the motions. Additionally, nobody really stood out one way or the other either. In short, although there were a couple of fairly entertaining films in this series, the sad fact is that everything has pretty much run its course and the thrill is clearly gone. I have rated this movie accordingly. Below average.

I am a HUGE glutton for punishment and deliberately try to see the very worst films. I think much of it is a reaction to all the foreign and art films I have also watched, as I am trying to see every film at the extremes of the bell curve! Well, this one was a chore, as I am NOT a fan of the "Police Academy" films--particularly as the series progressed. And you KNOW that this is a terrible film, as many of the folks from the original films are notably absent! And, if even Steve Guttenberg isn't willing to be in the film, you know it's going to be horrible!! So imagine how shocked I was to see that Christopher Lee appeared in this one! Now I know that Mr. Lee has appeared in about 1382083 films (many of which were a bit cheesy), but to appear in this is very sad--even more sad than his Fu Manchu films! So was the movie as bad as I'd assumed? YES. 'Nuff said.

Easily the worse comedy I've seen to date. Everything was horrible about this film. You get the feeling that when they were halfway through filming this heap they must've said to each other "You know, this film is truly going to die at the box office, let just do any old crap, film it and send that out to the cinemas. They'll buy it, it got Police Academy written on the box after all".The best bit that just completely sums up how bad the film was ***SPOILER WARNING*** (Like I'll spoil anything anyway lol) was when Jones and Tackleberry go to collect lassarde from his hotel room. They arrive outside his door and they become suspicious that all is not well inside. So they decide to investigate. Now at this point you'd think Tack would simply kick the door open and shout "Freeze", as is normal procedure for cops to do in America. No, not for this film, they decided that the methods for kicking doors down was downright silly. Instead Tack decides he needs the aid of an Icebucket...on his head. Clearly when he went through the academy they showed him differently the way to gain entry into a locked room - by putting a bucket on your head and ramming it against the door presumably. He puts a hole through the door anyway, stands up, takes the ice bucket off his head, sighs and then walks away with Jones without even going inside to investigate. All that stupidity for nothing and not one bit funny, logical or rational. ***SPOILER OVER*** I think about halfway through the film I began to realise this was not getting any better. I found myself becoming entertained by the site of my dog licking her rear in front of me. It was funnier too.Anyway I recommend you to watch this "film" just purely to see how bad the series had become and to find out just how bad films can be in general. On the other hand I recommend you NOT to watch it if you want to stop your brain melting out of your ear holes with boredom.
