[Captain Harris, with the word Dork burned into his chest, approaches a bar where Cmndt. Lassard, Chief Hurst, Chief Murdock, and the Mayor of Miami are seated]
Capt. Thaddeus Harris:
Oh Mr. Mayor, excuse me sir. I don't mean to insult your city, but the people on this beach are very rude and hostile.
Mayor of Miami:
Well, I'm sorry to hear that... Captain Dork!
[the gentlemen at the bar break down in laughter, and Harris finally realizes what has been burned on to his chest]

This may not have been THE best of the Police Academy film series, but it also wasn't the worst. As with most comedy film series, old and new elements(and characters) are mixed together to bring you a new chapter to the continuing story. Some of the "gags" may be similar, but unless you're going to sit down and watch all seven of the films back-to-back-to-back-to-back.., you may not notice. The Academy Officers go down to Florida to honor Commodant Eric Lassard (George Gaynes). Eric's nephew joins in as the new male lead, taking over for Steve Guttenberg's 'Carey MaHony' character. Comedy insues along with a chase, or two. It's great when a sequel comes along, and most (if not all) of the original cast shows up, too! In this case, most do! :)
