 |  | Police Academy 6 - City Under Siege ~ Bubba Smith |  |
Police Academy 6 - City Under Siege~ Bubba Smith is not as good as the first movie. Still it is not any worst then 3, 4 or 5 and I grade it 2 stars. The script could have been written by 100 monkeys at 100 typewriters. The movie is filled as usual with steero typical roles. Some of the jokes like the guy with the sound effects is like old and many others have been like recycled so many times that even the script writers must have known this. Then again it is a police academy movie so to expect a well written script is like asking to much. The acting is terrible and even worst then the previous movies since Guttenberg and Goldwaith are missing and their wit and smarts could like save many situations. The music is some of the worst 80's music I have ever heard and even when this movie was made I must have been hard pressed to identify them. Still you will not get grade A artists coming flocking to a 6th sequell of a movie. If you like Police Academy movies then this will be barely ok, otherwise avoid this pseudo turkey of a movie. Yeah it is not a total bomb, but I can only give it 2 stars.

Yes,Commandant Eric Lassard(George Gaynes) is still here. He was supposed to retire after the end of the previous sequel due to age limits. Commissioner Henry Hurst(George R. Robertson) announced in the last scene that Eric continue being the MPA's commandant until he personally decides to retire. That brought relief and happiness to Eric's colleagues,except Captain Harris(G.W. Bailey) and Lieutenant Proctor(Lance Kinsey),of course. In the sixth film of this Police Academy series,it opens with Harris and Proctor on a stakeout one Sunday morning in civilian attire. They missed the Wilson Heights gang striking. They didn't know until another cop from another precinct told them. It turns out that the mastermind of the gang is the city mayor(Kenneth Mars). Matt McCoy returns as Eric's nephew Nick,now an MPA member. Douglas Fackler(Bruce Mahler) returns after being written out of the previous two sequels. We even see Nick and Doug meeting,exchanging handshakes. The mayor's hobby is collecting model ships,which he built himself. Harris complimented the mayor's fabulous collection,but he accidentally destroyed one of the ships. One funny scene was where a dye pack exploded after Harris walked out of a bank with it. The dye discharged all over him. That almost happened to Nick,who claims he found dropped stolen money and was gonna give it to Commissioner Hurst. The Wilson Heights gang planted stolen jewelry inside Commandant Lassard's office,thus the commandant being falsely accused of the theft,and him and his team being suspended. Harris and Hurst found the stolen jewelry. The mayor,disguised as Commissioner Hurst,is taken away after the MPA learn that he masterminded the gang's crimes. The mayor had the gang set up a crime wave in an area of property that he planned to devalue and purchase. So Eric and his gang were reinstated and in the last scene,at a ceremony,Lt. Hightower(Bubba Smith) and Harris swap assigned seats and Harris ascends into the friendly skies with helium-filled latex balloons attached to the chair he's sitting in. Nick cuts the ties holding the balloons. We hear Harris exclaiming,"Oh,Proctor,Proctor,PROCTOR!!". It's amazing that there were six Police Academy movies made and released one by one in a six-year period(1984 to 1989). It's like a long-running television series. Say goodbye to McCoy since he would not return for the seventh and most recent film.
May 25, 2004This is the second best in the series of seven movies. It has drop down humor, and great jokes. One of my favorites, Douglas Fackler returns. Another great family film and is great for a party. The crew is all here, Larvell Jones, Moses Hightower, Hooks, Doug Fackler, Eugine Tackleberry, Debbie Calahan Nick Lassard, Thaddeus Harris, Procter, and Eric Lassard. And finally, after a long wait, the Police Academy series is coming to dvd. You can buy them seprate, or in a box set that I recommend you buying. The series will be realesed on April 6. This an ok dvd when it comes to features, it has a trailer and a making of reel. Here are some good parts in this movie, when Jones does Terminator, when Fackler knockes a lit cigar into the fireworks box, when hightower raps and when Tackleberry's granade gets shot up into the air and lands on Harris's car. So, mark your calender for April 6 because Police Academy is coming to dvd.
