Trivia

For the final scene, two hundred fifty Russian military police officers were required as extras. In the midst of a local food shortage, 758 police officers showed up on the day of shooting, because they had heard that lunch would be served. Producer Paul Maslansky and his team of Hungarian cooks left in a small van, and somehow managed to return with a hot meal for every person who had turned up to the set that day.

Goofs

During distant shots in the circus scene, the ringmaster's voice can be heard over the loudspeakers, even though he is not seen talking into the microphone, nor is his mouth moving.

Worth Waiting 5 Years For...

...said no one ever. So, the last Police Academy sequel was in 1989. It was terrible. This one came out in 1994 and it proudly picks up where the last one left off. Christopher Lee plays a Russian police commandant who can't catch criminal kingpin Ron Perlman. So he sends to America for the Police Academy losers. This is surreal. The plot is so deeply stupid that I lose IQ points just typing it. Series regulars George Gaynes, Michael Winslow, David Graf, Leslie Easterbrook, and G.W. Bailey return. No laughs are to be had. The cast, whose likability kept the series afloat early on even when the jokes missed the mark, can do nothing to save this sinking ship. Actually, it had already sunk by this point. Now it's just a few survivors desperately trying to stay afloat before the sharks eat them. Avoid unless you are a glutton for punishment.
