Another Training Episode
16 June 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Well, it is quite possible that the second one didn't work all that well so it seems that the creators went back to the drawing board, and decided that maybe they would just send them all back to the Police Academy for another round of training - yeah, basically a complete rehash of the first film. Well, not quite because we do have a bunch of new recruits, and the heroes from the first movie, who have now become somewhat more competent, are actually in the trainers' shoes.

The thing is that we have Sweetchuck come back this time wanting to be a police officer, and we also have Zed. Of course this is ridiculous because Sweetchuck would never, ever be able to pass the exam, and well Zed is a convicted criminal. However, what we do know is that the police academy is open to everybody so these silly things sort of add to the whole fun of the series. Mind you, it does seem that the original cast is being whittled down somewhat, particularly since Fackler has dropped from the cast, only to be replaced by his wife (who now wants to become a cop). Also, we do have to throw in the potential love interest for Mahony (because, for some reason, the others just don't seem to hang around).

Anyway, it turns out that this town isn't big enough for two police academies, so one has to go, and the governor will decide at the end of this particular class. Mind you, it turns out that Mauser is running the other academy, and is basically running it like some sort of military grade facility. How Mauser actually managed to go from being a sergeant to running a police academy is beyond me, but then again all of our original cast have now attained the rank of sergeant.

Yeah, this movie isn't all that bad, though of course it is pretty much a rerun of the first, expect we have Mauser, with Copeland and Blankes on the payroll, trying to undermine Lesard's academy. Personally, I didn't find it as good, though of course seeing the police computer being a Commodore 64 is always a bit of a laugh.
