Review by culwin

Well it's better than the second one. About as good as the first. But by this point, you ought to know what to expect from a Police Academy movie. A few characters from the second one are back as new recruits - most notably Tim Kazurinsky and Bobcat Goldthwait. Rather oddly, a few caricatures are back from the first one - the housewife, the rich guy, the attractive blonde. They don't work any better here than they did there, and will be gone from the series again after this. Mauser is back from the 2nd one as the main nemesis and he's alright but not as good as Harris. Bobcat (as Zed) carries a lot of this movie as what I think is the most entertaining character. But otherwise it's just the same goofy slapstick characters you've seen before and will see again in the other sequels (if you are willing to watch that far).
