    • Trivia
      According to Bubba Smith, he made more money from his work on this film alone, than he had earned in ten years of playing professional football. This was due to Bubba having requested a 2 percent piece of the movie's profits, in lieu of a higher salary prior to shooting.
    • Goofs
      When there is a fight at the Blue Oyster Bar and Hooks go to find the address, Proctor says the address is 621 Cowan Avenue. When Mahoney and Hightower get there, the number on the door says 655.
    • Quotes

      Lt. Mauser: [Mauser and Proctor are spying on Lassard greeting the new recruits in his office] So... these academy rats are going to save the precinct?

      Proctor: Hey, personally, lieutenant, I hope they fall flat on their asses.

      Lt. Mauser: That can be arranged, you know?

      Proctor: What do you mean?

      Lt. Mauser: Well, if they fail, I take over as commander of the precinct.

      Lt. Mauser: So?

      Lt. Mauser: So... we make sure they fail.

      Proctor: Who?

      Lt. Mauser: The new recruits.

      Proctor: Why?

      Lt. Mauser: If they fail, Lassard's out, I'm in. And I'm gonna need somebody to be the new watch commander. And you know who that's gonna be.

      Proctor: [confused] Who?

      Lt. Mauser: [annoyed] You, dickhead, you!

      Proctor: Oh... oh... well, good idea.

      Lt. Mauser: You're not playing with a full deck, are you?

      Proctor: Oh, I don't play cards.

    After this sequel, Police Academy dried up what little laughs it already had!
    Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment was the last film to be remotely funny out of the further Academy films. No wonder almost every single orignal cast member dropped after the 4th film. My favorite character in this film however, and the only being who made it funny, was Bob Goldthwait. He and his raspy voice are hilarious, and make this film worth watching. I saw it on at 1 am once. I guess it's the only time slot the channel figure that no one will be watching. Anyway, it's worthy of a one time viewing, as the first, though they are both rip-offs of the film stripes. But still, see 1 & 2 once, and don't bother with the rest. 2.5/5 stars.
