Police Academy: Mission to Moscow

See a boiled egg fly through the air from one mans mouth to another mans mouth and then back again - all in Technicolor!

Comedy - negligible. Interest factor - negligible. Original cast members - negligible. Audiences watching it in the theatres in 1994 - negligible. Box office gross - negligible.

Farting noises - absolutely. Cartoon sound effects - absolutely. Disinterested/embarrassed performances - absolutely. Enthusiastic Russian actors who believe they are performing in a masterpiece - absolutely.

After watching this movie I had forgotten how to smile. I saw somebody else laughing and I had to ask them what they were doing with their face and what the unusual sound meant.

An unnecessary film.

Sometimes it seems producers have a hard time understanding when a movie shouldn't be made. The Police Academy franchise should have ended in the sixth film, and even then it would be ending up pretty worn out. This film, made several years later, was an effort that was simply needless and certainly leaves no one with good memories.

After seeing the movie, I was really sorry that the franchise ended with such a bad movie. It was something that, for me, should have been avoided. Police Academy was one of the most interesting and successful comic franchises of the 80s, and there are still many people who have fond memories of these films today. I myself, as a child, saw them several times on television.

The s...

'Police Academy: Mission to Moscow' brings this franchise - as it stands - to a close. It's not good, but it's not the worst of the series in my opinion; not that it's far off being so, more the case that I 'enjoyed' it a tiny bit more than the sixth entry.

The cast feels bare-bones, at least in terms of the original bunch of characters. Bubba Smith dropped out for this, which is a loss, so only Michael Winslow, David Graf and George Gaynes stayed to complete the run of appearing in all seven films.

It's actually away from them that you find the interesting performers, as Christopher Lee and Ron Perlman turn up. The former doesn't feature heavily, though the latter does and is alright I guess; as noted already, he is better than last ...
