Should have stopped after the 4th one. I pretty much agree with this. While the first movie had it's moments, it also had some pretty lousy cadets, such as the fat guy or the Latino lady killer. Thankfully, the second movie introduced some better characters, such as Zed, Sweetchuck and Proctor, but the move to the new precinct and the addition of lousy officers like the dirty guy or the hardass who worked with Jones. The third movie was okay...but it seemed WAY too overpacked. The fourth movie had probably the best force yet. The only disappointment was Kyle (or Chad) disappearing, and Mauser's unfortunate departure, although Harris will always be known for being slightly better, I just think Mauser had the better gags played on him. The fifth one sucked outside of the villain. The loss of Mahoney is clearly evident here. The sixth one brought back Fackler...because everyone he was what the series was needed. The seventh movie was flat out terrible. They got the kid from Diagnosis Murder as the lead...yeah...awful. As far as an eighth movie? Well, two of the most prominent characters are dead. Making these movies without Tackleberry or Hightower would just be depressing. |

Third one is the best. I liked the competition between the red and blue academies

is it weird that I like the first one the least? granted, 5 and 6 are not great movies but I feel like I enjoy watching them more than the first one.

Gotta say I really enjoyed the first one, and the rest not so much. There was a more serious tone in the first movie thst was dropped in the sequels. Yes, there was slapstick humour as well, but it was the kind of slapstick you'd find in an episode of "M*A*S*H" and not the Looney Tunes stuff that followed.
And I liked Lesley's story (the fat guy).

First one: I never watched this one as a kid, WB11 never showed it but I liked it when I watched it a few years ago.
Second one: My favorite as a kid. My favorite bit is Mauser blinded with his hands glued to his hair. I read Howard Hesseman hated this movie, disappointing since I thought he was funny in it.
Third one: I liked this one as a kid but that's because I didn't see the first one. Basically all the funny gags from the first one, they redo in this one but with no context. Really lazy. I imagine the response at the time was "how can they call it police academy when they're not at a police academy?" so the remade the first one.
Fourth one: Awful, horrendous. The only one that doesn't open with the classic Police Academy theme, a clear sign of it's inferiority and what ended Steve Guttenburg's participation in Police Academy.
Fifth one: Not good either. Matt McCoy does his best as the Mahoney stand-in.
Sixth one: Not as bad as it's reputation. Much like the second, has it's own non-police academy related story. I like the return of Fackler.
Seventh one: Only one I've never seen from beginning to end. It was on TV and tried for 5 minutes and had to quit. It's made worse they used a really cheap camera, it looked like it was shot on tape.

LOL when Mahoney chooses the name Jughead to go undercover in PA2 , "Jughead" lol  I like PA5 and 6 (the twist in PA6 was nice , plot made sence as the value of real estate would plunge due to crime waves......I liked the gang too , esp when they went up against our heroes) Trivia : Lisa Rinna was in PA6 (cut scene) |

I'll say it once, I'll say it a thousand times. It's hard to believe a movie franchise actually got worse once Steve Guttenberg left.

I still find it odd that David Spade's film debut was in Police Academy 4.

I liked that when Mahoney and Harris were held hostage, they were not joking around.
As a little kid I loved Police Academy for the boobs. Watching it ten years later I got most of the actual jokes and liked it even more.
Special shout out to part 5 for having Mr.House as the villain.

Great series. Probably saw every movie a dozen times.

Wow, I think I'm in a weird minority here - I liked 4, 5 and 6, and the first 3 were.....fine.
The 5th was my first Police Academy movie, so I'm actually rather fond of that one.
However, I'm in the camp of those insisting the 7th movie was something people just imagined and didn't really ever happen.
