jacobjohntaylor1 This is a very boring movie. It not funny at all. It so boring. Nothing but some stupid collage hummer with cops. There is no point to this movie. It so boring and badly written. Steve G.u.t.t.e.n.b.e.r.g is boring. Do not wast you time. Do not wast your money. Do not see this movie. B.u.b.b.a Smith. is boring. David G.r.a.f is boring. The acting in this movie is mediocre. I can not believe people like this movie. It so stupid and not funny. Michael W.i.n.s.l.o.w is a good actor but he wasted hit talent being in this awful movie. Bruce Mahler is good actor but he wasted his talent being in this awful movie. Marion Ramsey is boring. The movie is stinky pile pooh pooh. Do not see it.
SnoopyStyle The city is crumbling. The worst precinct is run by Pete Lassard (Howard Hesseman). He is given 6 recruits by his brother from the police academy; Carey Mahoney (Steve Guttenberg), Hightower (Bubba Smith), Tackleberry (David Graf), Larvell Jones (Michael Winslow), Doug Fackler (Bruce Mahler), and squeaky voice Laverne Hooks (Marion Ramsey). Meanwhile Lt. Mauser (Art Metrano) is sabotaging their efforts in a bid to get the Captain's job. Bobcat Goldthwait plays the gang leader Zed.This is mostly unfunny. There are some slapstick fun, but it's all very fleeting. Gluing Mauser's hair was one of those moments, but it feels like it's living off of the original's goodwill. I did find that the recruits are too scattered. There is some great comradery about everybody forced together in the original. As for Bobcat, I'm fine with his ridiculous character. It fits the movie. The problem is a basic need for more funny laughs.
FilmBuff1994 Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment is a pretty bad movie with very little story,its mainly just the comedy cops goofing around for the entire with one uninspired joke after another.There were some bits that had me laughing,most of them by Steve Guttenberg's character,but this is a very brutal sequel that was clearly only made to make more money,the first Police Academy wasn't that good to begin with,so it was clearly only money why they wanted to make more of them.Police Academy 2 is basically just one joke after another and makes very little effort with an actual story,even if you enjoyed the first Police Academy,you probably should avoid this one.Now graduated and official members of the police force,the cops are given their first assignment,the toughest precinct in town.
kluseba I really enjoyed the first movie of the series that introduced a bunch of great characters and a lot of people say that the series went quickly into a downward spiral afterwards. Concerning the second part of the series, I really can't agree because this movie is as funny as the first one. The only negative thing might be that some of the characters of the first part have already done but the most important ones are still around and the positive thing is that quite interesting new characters are introduced as well. The weird punk villain Zed is not only memorable because of its great pantomime and horrible voice, the shy and unlucky merchant is really sympathetic and Kirkland is an interesting pendant to my favourite character Tackleberry.The story is not much intriguing or surprising but already more interesting than the first movie that simply hadn't any story at all and convinced only because of its strong lead characters. Mauser and Pronter are some interesting villains as well as the gang around Zed while the was only Harris and two dumb heads in the first part. That's what makes this second part even slightly more interesting than the first one and equalizes the fact that some great characters have gone.Don't believe the harsh critics as the true downward spiral started far later than already in this movie. If you adored the first movie, you should adore this one as well. There are a few very good jokes, fresh and new characters and an acceptable story line. You will get very well entertained and won't see the time go by. After this one, I was really looking forward to watch the third part, too.
