Trivia
According to his autobiography, Bubba Smith had initially made a verbal agreement to reprise his role as Hightower, but Marion Ramsey later called Bubba in tears, uncertain as to why she had not been asked to return. Bubba knew Marion was hurting financially, having already given her a small loan not long before. Bubba said he would see what he could do. When Bubba called the producers to ask if Marion could join the cast, he was told that Hooks could not be written into the script. In defense of Marion, Bubba made the decision to withdraw from the movie. In a peculiar case of life imitating art, this situation mirrors the scene in Police Academy (1984), when Hightower is forced to leave the academy after standing up for Hooks.

Lighten up folks!! This movie is funny.

I've just watched this film with my (russian) wife and her sister (who can't speak English) and the 3 of us laughed all the way through. I'm amazed at its "position" and totally agree with a previous reviewer: most people are missing the point. Yes, it's daft, stupid, childish & immature. It's SUPPOSED to be and, on that level, it works brilliantly. I loved it. The extended car chase near the end is hilarious & the running joke of Commandant Lazzard spending the whole film with a funeral party never gets boring. Apart from that, can anybody name me ONE other Hollywood movie shot so extensively in the middle of (beautiful) Moscow ??? Steve Guttenberg may have been the star of the Police Academy series but (in my opinion) he was far from being the best actor, or the funniest character. George Gaynes ( a wonderful classically-trained actor) David Graf (RIP) and G W Bailey were always better. In fact, I missed Eric Lazzard's goldfish more than Mahoney. Perhaps a russian version of The Blue Oyster Bar would have added to the fun but all-in-all I enjoyed this film throughout. Just watch and enjoy for what it is. 7 out of 10.
