Synopsis
This multi-pack contains the first seven films from the popular POLICE ACADEMY series.
POLICE ACADEMY: A big city mayor-elect, eager to make good on a campaign promise to increase-the-peace, waives entry requirements for the police force. The result: mishap, mayhem and mismanagement, as the force is flooded with bumbling buffoons, idealistic idiots, and quixotic quipsters. The crooks never had it so good.
POLICE ACADEMY 2: The crazy "Police Academy" graduates are on the street now, and the not unexpected result is sheer chaos. One of their first assignments is to put a stop to a gang of vicious spray-painters.
POLICE ACADEMY 3: In this second POLICE ACADEMY sequel, the bungling officers' academy is threatened by a state budget crunch, and if more horrible policemen are to graduate from it in the future, then they must find some way to save it.
POLICE ACADEMY 4: Where the cockeyed cops left off in the first three films, the motley misfits have taken over as the C.O.P. - Citizens on Patrol.
POLICE ACADEMY 5: Commandant Lassard is to receive one last honoUr before retirement, having been named Policeman of the Decade for the police chiefs convention in Miami Beach, and his loyal misfits decide to take their vacation and join him.
POLICE ACADEMY 6: The bumbling crimefighters take on a mysterious mastermind and his army of goons.
POLICE ACADEMY 7: The inept Police Academy grads are sent on a top-secret mission to undermine a nefarious Moscow Mafia plot. Filmed on location in the former Soviet Union.
Harmless fun, shamelessly corny, good to have

This may not be Shakespeare and there are times when it makes the Carry On films seem high brow, but for this kind of price and the amount of fun they bring, who can argue? The first four or five work the best, and it's sad to see some faces leave the cast as the films go along, but the spirit of the films never changes and as such this is worth having. Friends cringe at this in my collection but when I put one on for an evening in the background usually, they end up enjoying it and commenting that they weren't actually bad. I doubt most people have seen the later ones, but do give them a go!!!

Classic 80's comedy at a bargain price
Review date: 2007-12-15 Rating: 8 out of 10
Over the years I had bought a couple of the Police Academy films on video cassette; having decided to purchase the DVD box set of all seven films I have not been disappointed. In addition to the seven easy watching and amusing movies, there is an interesting, if short, interview with a number of the main characters in the special features section of each disk (filmed in 2004). Also, the picture and sound quality for all films are good considering six of the seven were made in the 1980's.
A good addition to the collection of any 80's comedy film fan - 4 stars!

Police Academy is without a doubt the best 80s movie out there. The sequels were okay (up to about 3), but this collection is well worth shelling out for "Mahomo!"
MAAAAHOOOOONEY

God I love these films. They cheer me up whenever I feel down. Mahoney is the real star, though he stops after number 4. Harris and Mauser are excellently cast too. Just that fed up look on Harris's face, and Guttenburg/Mahoney's grin are enough to crack me up.
Lieutenant Thaddeus Harris: Remember Mahoney, nobody screws with me.
Carey Mahoney: Well, maybe you'll meet the right girl and all of that will change.
At Last The Collection Is Complete!
Review date: 2005-08-02 Rating: 10 out of 10
At last all 7 Police Academy films are together in one collection:
Police Academy (1984) - It was 2o years ago that the first film was released in what would be a very popular series. The entire film is here with a behind the scenes "Where are they now" extra added to the disk (boy have some of them aged a bit!!!).
If you have never seen this film then you must watch it. Posibly one of the funniest films of the 80's bar none. Join Mahoney, Jones, Tackleberry, Hightower in a laugh a minute movie.
Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment (1985) - The recruits are let loose on the streets of America with hilarious results as they try to stop a gang led by Zed from causing havoc. We are also introduced to Mowser and Proctor, two who play pivital parts in the series. The disc also includes a behinds the scenes making over section.
Police Academy 3: Back in Training (1986) - Commandant Lassard's academy is under threat from Mowser's when it is declared only one academy can remain open. This means action is needed. Lasard calls on mahoney, Jones, Hightower and co to help keep the academy open by training recruits like Zed, who was the baddy in the last film. The results are hilarious. Again this includes a behind the scenes guide.
Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol (1987) - Lasard's plan is to start a C.O.P plan (Citizens on Patrol). To do this he enrols Mahoney and the gang to train the recruits whilst Harris and Proctor try their hardest to stop the scheme going ahead. Again this includes a behind the scenes guide.
Police Academy 5: Assignment: Miami Beach (1988) - Commandant Lassard has passed the retirement age and therefore must retire. In his honour it is decided that he will be honoured at a policeman's ball in Miami. Lassard takes his favourite staff, plus Harris & Proctor with him. However, things are not made easy as a Diamond thief gang also go to the same resort and a bag swap leads to loads of laughs. Again this includes a behind the scenes guide.
Police Academy 6: City Under Siege (1989) - A gang are running wild on the streets and seem to be avoiding capture. Everytime the police get near the gang seem to know what is going on. Is there a mole? It is upto our favourite police officer's to solve the crime and stop the gang. Again this includes a behind the scenes guide.
Police Academy: Mission to Moscow (1994) - Lassard takes a crew of officers to Russia. This is the start of the laughs as Lassard is "Kidnapped" by the Russian Mafia (well he get's the wrong taxi and ends up in a Russian Families house!). Although not as good as the originals this will still have you in stitches. Again this includes a behind the scenes guide.
If you have ever seen the Police Academy series then you know that this is a must. If not then buy it as I think you will be pleasantly suprised.
