I bought the 4-pack DVD of this the other day. I would like to have part 5 too. That's how I learned sunscreen can be fun.

Anyone remember the cartoon?: Yep, I used to watch it. I even had the Mahoney toy.

I remember a point when I was in middle school being kind of obsessed with these movies after recording the first three on TBS one night. I had part four on tape and watched it fairly often, but after seeing the first three, I would practically watch them every day after school and I would come up my own sequels and draw the movie posters. I would also try to listen to the theme song at the beginning of the movies before going to school, so I would have the song stuck in my head the whole day. I went through some strange fazes as a kid.

A few years back I worked in a community theater production of The Pink Panther Strikes Again. For the scene where Inspector Clouseaugh dances with a cross dresser, I tried so hard to persuade our director to use the Blue Lagoon bar theme.

Yep. I used to watch it. I even had the Mahoney toy. What sucked was how hard getting Harris was. He was a mail away that was eventually replaced by Sweetchuck, so he is incredibly rare. I liked Mahoney's police brutality nightstick swinging action and Mr. Sleaze had that awesome under the tie gun. Series 2 of the figures kind of sucked though. The 2 bad guys were uninspiring and there were only 2 new cadets, and they didn't even have Lasard or Hooks...yet they make f***ing House? House sucked.

Anybody else remember the short lived live action TV series from about 1997, Michael Winslow was a regular in it and so was Joe Flaherty. I think some of the other actors from the movies popped up.

They had a pretty decent formula to these movies
For the first 3/4 of the film, they would be comically inept, but then at the end of the film, something more serious would happen, usually involving a series of major action sequences and a final confrontation with the villain, where they would ultimately prove to be pretty decent cops.

Loved the series, had the cartoons on VHS and have the DVDs. Ironically I just met Sweet Chuck a few days ago as he is doing the national tour of Wicked. Awesomely nice guy who talked with me for a few minutes

Awesomely nice guy who talked with me for a few minutes It amazes me that the actor is in his 60s now. I thought that's how old he was back when he did the movies in the 80s.

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. There's an eighth one? I lost interest after City Under Seige. Great series that gets way too much hate.

30 years of painful and disturbing films.
Seriously, I liked the first two, but the others sucked, particularly "Mission to Moscow". When the highlight of that film is a guy ordering room service and then shown on the toilet, that's not good. However, I still think the fifth one with the off-the-street recruits was the worst of the bunch.

First saw part 2, on TV at some point, then part 4 (which left me bewildered how Bobcat was now on the team). Then I saw part 5 in the theater. Twice.
Never got to see the cartoon but was aware of it, so I grabbed Marvel's comic version and my 'rents got me all of the major characters from wave 1 of the toys for Christmas one year.
Then we finally rented the first one and...well, we didn't realize it was R, so it got awkward with the family as all the boobs were flying past the screen.

And I liked part 4.
