GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Phil Hubbs The first PA film I saw back when I was but a mere sprog and to this day I still think its probably the best of the bunch. Pretty much all the cast return for this assignment, well the main cast, and the story continues on from their graduation of the Police Academy. I do like that this film series manages to keep continuity time after time, gotta give kudos for that with such a big cast.The plot is again very simple, the new officers are all doing well in their respective roles but are called on to help Cmdt. Eric Lassard's brother. It seems his precinct is the worse in the city (unknown which city) thanks to a ruthless gang of thugs. So its up to the new rookie officers to clean up the neighbourhood, Academy style.So yes the story continues on from where the last left off which is good, the cast are all present and correct which is good and there are some new officers to enjoy in this new precinct. Again this film is still aimed towards an adult audience which assists it in being a much better comedy vehicle in my opinion. The old characters are on form and all doing their thing as expected, Mahoney still being a wet little goodie goodie, Tackleberry with his array of weapons etc...but they are now up against a new superior in the form of the excellent Art Metrano as Lt/Capt. Mauser.Now I really must give much kudos to Metrano here, this guy is even better than Bailey as Harris, in a different way. I really really liked this ass kissing slimebucket so much, the way he ridicules the new rookies, the way he bullies his sidekick Proctor and of course the way he kisses ass. The tomfoolery on show is even more outrageous and rude than the previous film with nudity, especially from Metrano, but this guy just makes it work. The way he screams out 'Proctor!!' and the way he verbally duels with Mahoney can be at times really funny.Lt. Mauser: 'Mahoney, what kind of clown do you think I am?' Mahoney: 'A juggling clown?'Kudos also to Lance Kinsey as Sgt. Proctor who is another fine example of a dimwitted sidekick. He doesn't do much apart from suck up to Mauser but its just the way he does it. Love the way he switches from a grovelling butt licker with Mauser, to trying to be a strong authority figure around the other officers. This duo are the best thing about this film and the franchise really.Chief Hurst: 'Mauser, you're the most incredible ass kisser I have ever seen.' Lt. Mauser: 'Thank you very much, sir. I do my best.'There are some other good new characters here too. Howard Hesseman as Capt. Peter 'Pete' Lassard actually puts in a good heart warming performance as the all round good guy Captain, one of the few actors giving the film some proper credibility. This film also has the great honour of introducing the insane Bobcat Goldthwait to the world as the infantile gang leader. Can't deny his performance is unique but I still do wonder about this guys mental makeup, and I still don't know if he actually talks like that in real life?. Small mention for the other odd looking character in Tim Kazurinsky as Sweetchuck who certainly gives a good show as an elderly little man, was he suppose to be elderly? Again the comedy duo of Sweetchuck and Zed is actually pretty good, cool that it continues into the third film too.Of course the humour is totally childish and puerile but I think by now we all know the game here don't we. Most of this film actually consists of the boys in blue doing something, Mauser sticking a spanner in the works and then Mahoney getting revenge with some silly prank. The best of which is easily the glue in the shower sequence which leads to Mauser wearing a wig for the rest of the film. So utterly immature yet quite a nasty thing to do lets be honest, but admittedly hilarious. Never let under age kids see this film because it is most definitely a bad influence, making dogs run out into heavy traffic?? errrr...keep the kids away!I think the start of the film is much better than the finale, the rookies getting to know Mauser and being shown the ropes etc...The ending does become a bit cartoonish with some nasty pratfalls and hokey ass gang member action, but when that musical score begins to swell you can't help but kinda enjoy it. Still not too sure why they have that 90 year old looking officer in the police station just sitting around, why would he be there??8/10

gwnightscream Steve Guttenberg, Bubba Smith, Michael Winslow, David Graf, Marion Ramsay, Bruce Mahler, Art Metrano, Lance Kinsey, Colleen Camp, Howard Hesseman, Tim Kazurinsky and Bobcat Goldthwait star in this 1985 comedy sequel. In this installment, an inner city gang of thugs led by Zed (Goldthwait) tries taking over the neighborhood. Rookie cops, Mahoney (Guttenberg), Hightower (Smith), Jones (Winslow), Tackleberry (Graf), Fackler (Mahler), and Hooks (Ramsay) are sent to help it and it's failing precinct headed by Pete Lassard (Hesseman) who is captain and brother of commandant, Eric Lassard (George Gaynes). Metrano plays despicable lieutenant, Mauser who tries to take over Lassard's job, Kinsey plays his right-hand assistant, Proctor and Kazurinsky plays Sweetchuck, a wimpy store clerk who gets hassled by Zed. Tackleberry also finds romance with his new partner, Kirkland (Camp) in the process. This is a good sequel with a great cast and Mahoney going undercover as a thug is definitely one of the highlights of the film. Gaynes also makes an appearance and I recommend this.

Petri Pelkonen A gang is causing trouble on the streets.The police academy recruits are needed to bring back the peace to the streets.Of course they do just the opposite.Peter Lassard's (Eric's brother) precinct is the worst in the city.He is given 30 days or he is out.Lieutenant Mauser wants his spot.Now this guy tries to make the job of these recruits, that were given to the precinct by Eric, as hard as possible.Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment (1985) is directed by Jerry Paris.The cast is pretty much the same as was in the first part.Steve Guttenberg plays Officer Carey Mahoney.Bubba Smith is Moses Hightower.David Graf is Eugene Tackleberry.Michael Winslow plays Larvell Jones.Bruce Mahler plays Douglas Fackler.Marion Ramsey is Laverne Hooks.George Gaynes plays Commandant Eric Lassard.This fine man was born on May 16, 1917 in Helsinki, which means he turns 95 today.It's always a treat to watch him do his thing.Howard Hesseman plays his brother Peter 'Pete' Lassard.Colleen Camp plays Sgt. Kathleen Kirkland.Her violent family members are played by Arthur Batanides (Old Max), Jackie Joseph and Andrew Paris (Bud).Art Metrano is Lt./Captain Mauser.Bobcat Goldthwait plays plays the part of the gang leader Zed.Ed Herlihy is seen as Officer Dooley.Jason Hervey (now 40), who was also seen in Back to the Future that year playing Milton Baines, plays Brat in this movie.G.W. Bailey is seen only as Wedding guest.This is as good as was the first part.Winslow is once again funny with his voices.Like when he's having fun with the couple on a date.And the pranks Mahoney pulls on Mauser.The romance between Tackleberry and Kirkland, two gun-crazy love birds, is sweet.And Zed is a great add to the series.

SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain It's a natural progression, but the film was certainly rushed into production. Because of this they dropped the ball in certain aspects. Only 6 of the original cadets are able to appear, which forces more focus onto a love affair for Tackleberry. This actually works out, as Cattrall's boring character is nowhere to be seen. This allows Mahoney to go free and not be tied down. Unfortunately Harris is out, due to Bailey being busy with other commitments. Luckily the new antagonist isn't terrible, but he just misses that spark. Seeing the cadets out on the beat is quite smile inducing, if repetitive. Winslow uses his vocal techniques, people are taken aback by Smith's size, Ramsey is belittled because of her voice etc. It's familiar territory, and the new characters are hardly stand-out. Let's face it, if a film franchise like this had tried to develop its characters, we'd be even more disappointed.
