Highly Overrated But Still Good
... View MoreBest movie ever!
... View MoreI am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreA gang is terrorising citizens by robbing stores in the Wilson Heights district of town.Since a leak in the department is suspected, the Governor has chosen the officers from the police academy along with Captain Harris and Lt. Proctor to catch the criminals using old fashioned police work.When Commandant Lassard is indicted, the officers must bring the gang and Mr. Big to justice to clear his name....What grabs me so much about this movie is how much it reminds me, especially in the last twenty minutes or so of Tim Burtons Batman.Not plot wise, but just the feel of the whole thing. Maybe it's because it was released around the same time as that movie, or Burton had a spare set going.Other than that, watching this movie through rose tinted glasses doesn't do the film any good. The first time I saw this film, I was 12, and I liked it, largely because Police Academy had been shoved down my throat, thanks to the yearly sequels.Seeing it now, you realise how poor the actual film is, and that the screenwriters couldn't come up with an original idea between them.It's all the same stuff. Hightower shows his strength and has one scene where he looks frustrated.Jones makes lots of noises and does bad Kung Fu.Hooks shouts.Tackleberry has a big gun.Callahan shows her guns.Harris and Proctor get things wrong.It's what we get, time and time again, and it gets less and less funnier.
... View MoreHaving seen #5 I had profound doubts that this series, that has exhibited a relentless decline in quality per sequel, could collapse to a less refined sedimentary layer of contemptible trash. Now these eyes have been exposed to the unabated cinematic horror of #6 I must stand corrected. Improbably, the descent to the very yawning maws of the comedic Underworld have abundantly gathered pace through this bloodied abortion.I refuse to believe there was a script. My theory centres on a colonic explosion, smeared upon a roll of toilet paper, that the piffling "stars" were encouraged to interpret through their acting "skills". How else can such loathsome mental detritus be explained?
... View MoreFinally, almost done with the Police Academy sequels, I finished the 6th movie in the series, Police Academy 6: City Under Siege, now this movie by no means is the worst movie ever, but it's the weaker of the movies and disappoints more than makes you laugh. With the earlier sequels, I've been surprised, with all the low ratings, I still was laughing at the movies, just because I think people were taking the movies too seriously or comparing too much to the original Police Academy. Now the last Police Academy may not have had Mahony, Steve Guttenberg's character, but it still made me laugh, but I miss the old gang, they were what made the sequels a lot of fun. I also once again missed Zed and Sweetchuck, certain characters just made these movies into fun comedies, but City Under Siege tries too hard.The class is back together to save the city from jewelery thieves, but the plot thickens when they find out that the leader of the gang is connected with the police. But of course Harris is after all the credit of making the bust on the jewelery thieves and taking the credit, even by mocking the old class that always pull something over their heads. But they find out that there is something deeper than just having the jewels, the thieves are going to own this town unless the police academy stops them.Police Academy 6: City Under Siege still delivers some really good laughs here and there, you always have to love the pranks the class pulls on Harris, G.W. Baily plays them off so well and makes the memorable. Also you have to love Bubba Smith who is the classic big guy you just don't wanna mess with. But as far as the sequels go, this was without a doubt the weaker, from what I understand Mission in Moscow is the worst, so I'm going to do my best to have faith and just hope the series ends with a bang. Police Academy 6: City Under Siege, I recommend it if you are looking to see the series, but as a comedy, it's just alright.3/10
... View MoreThis time the pretext is a rip off of Police Academy 2, with a group of thieves starting a crime wave, while facing police corruption in the city in this atrocious sequel which leaves the viewer begging for death. This sequel is without a doubt one of the lamest comedies ever, the humor is dated, the actors bored and no laugh is contained in this horse manure. One could call this a really bad action movie, with the humor it contains. This is seriously the pits, as bad as movies get and just think Mission To Moscow was even worse. Of course that's why this I voted it a 2 rather than a 1.City Under Siege, indeed!1/5 Matt Bronson
