This may be a Police Academy rip off..sure, but it's funny too!, 24 December 2000
Author: cinematic (cinematic@fido.ca) from Toronto, Canada

Does this film look like a Canadian Type film??? No, especially since it was done in Toronto back in '86 when most Canadian films all looked like CBC had it by the balls. This film has a lot of up coming actors ...like Lolita D. / Mike McDonald / .... It looks very American and if it were released in the year 2000, it would still hold up as being entertaining. Any ways...most of the best Police Academy films were done in Toronto.
