Routine follow-up with usual ingredients , mayhem, giggles , entertainment and lots of fun. From the beginning, they were a breed apart. They were raw, inept, blunderheaded civilians who signed up for the Police Academy. And they became raw, inept, blunderheaded cops. The misfit Police Academy is already graduated creating a special but bumbling team to accomplish a training for new recruits . Then, the bumblers in blue took to the streets to confront a crime wave . And somehow refrained from waving back. Now the lovable lunkheads with the fun-track minds are at it again. Determined to save their alma mater from getting the ax during a state-wide budget slash are the gifted, goofy original Police Academy grads: Mahoney, Hightower, Tackleberry, Jones, Hooks and Callahan, all led by the befuddled but unbowed Cmdt. Lassard. Also in the arresting cast are several returnees from the school's second adventure, including meddling Cmdt. Mauser. Now that's the kind of school people can trust, the kind of school whose grads fight crime with slapstick instead of nightsticks. Those goofy oddballs in blue are going to tangle with the pinhead punkers. The Police Academy regulars, from meathead Mahoney to the others impeccably inept cops are back again to answer law enforcement's most uproarious role call. Take off with the original cast... and some new recruits as they take to the streets and the skies to fight crime . On land, on sea, or in the air, no place is safe from them! Assignment: new recruits . Objective: Laughs. Hold everything! The cadets are training for an all new adventure ! The alumni of Commandant Lassard's Police Academy (1984) return to the school to train new recruits and prevent its closure. The Law Enfarcement Saga Continues!. Run for cover!. A Completely Arresting Comedy Hit!. An open-and-shut case of nonstop laughter !.

Police Academy 3 has the most dangerous assignments and in this second sequel to original Police Academy (1984) , there's humor , thrills , pursuits , action and abundant diversion . Funny and very cheerful film filled with action-packed , thrills , hilarious set-pieces, tongue-in-cheek , amusement and lots of humor . The premise is simple and plain , as a misfit , botcher squadron from the known police force is assigned to train rookie cops and subsequently to undertake a confrontation to a dangerous gang . Director delivers a professional work but with no much interest , his knack of getting the most out of characters and situations without ever going over the top making for some very big laughs . This production pays tribute to previous film , taking parts here and there , and repeating former sketches. The jokes and frolics come as thick and fast , hit and miss as usual and it is done in good spirit if not always in good taste . Fun picture with accent on sight gags , and humour that stems from the diverting roles established in other movies . The sympathetic cast formed by the motley band of misfits giving charming interpretation causing confusion , laughs and chaos . Showing up habitual actors in the popular series, such as : Seve Guttenberg as the constant prankster Mahoney, Bubba Smith as the hunk Sgt Hightower , David Graf as gun-lover Sgt. Tackleberry , Michael Winslow as Sgt. Jones , Marion Ramsey as Sgt. Hooks , Leslie Easterbrook as busty Lt. Callahan , Art Metrano as Comdt. Mause and adding a newcomer cadets : Tim Kazurinsky , Bobcat Goldthwait and Shawn Weatherly . While G. W. Bailey had hoped to return as Lieutenant Harris, but was passed over in favor of Art Metrano as the antagonist in this film , but he appeared in Police Academy 4 and others sequels . In addition, David James Elliott's film debut ; Doug Lennox and porn-actress Georgina Spelvin reprised their roles from the first film Police Academy (1984) as the main bad guy and the hooker. However, original cast members had allegedly complained about losing screentime to the new cast members. It contains an attractive and lively score by Robert Folk , series' regular , including the classic leitmotif . As well as atmospheric and appropriate cinematography . The motion picture was uneven and professionally directed by Jerry Paris , but with no originality . This was Jerry Paris' final film. It had originally been the intention that this film and Police Academy 4 (1987) would be shot back-to-back, but Paris was too sick during production for this to work, and so Jim Drake was hired to direct the next film .

The series produced by Paul Maslansky , being based on the characters written by Neal Israel and Pat Proft , they focused on a storyline involving those roles the audiences were most responsive to in the previous films , the episodes of the Police Academy is as follows : Police Academy 1984 by Hugh Wilson .
