one of my absolute favorites!
... View MoreThis is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

... View MoreThis movie begins with the vice agent known as "Candy" (Elizabeth Kaitan) and a newcomer to the series who goes by the name of "Samantha" (Rebecca Rocheford Davies) at the police station reading a magazine titled "Prison Romance" which they think "Miss Devonshire" (Jayne Hamil) is using to attract male suitors. It turns out that she writes an advice column for the magazine to help both male and female prisoners in their relationships. While she is explaining this a dangerous criminal named "Malanthian" (Julia Parton) manages to once again escape from the prison and the first person she seeks out for revenge is—Miss Devonshire. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film should serve as a model on how to make a successful low-budget comedy. Although the plot was rather basic, what made this film so unique was the really good script which consisted of lines that were so stupid and ridiculous that they turned out to quite hilarious. And the actors managed to play it for what it was worth as some of the expressions on their faces were downright priceless. Having said that, this isn't a great film by any means. However, I thought this movie was certainly better than I expected and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.
... View MoreOkay, I'll admit it. I'm a definite fan of the "Vice Academy" series. Granted, these films are cheap, cheesy and unapologetically low-brow trash that are utterly bereft of any artistic merit. And that's precisely why I dig 'em so much. One doesn't watch a "Vice Academy" feature looking for profound insights concerning the human condition. Instead you watch these flicks strictly for fun. And that's okay by me, man.Wicked insatiable green-haired nymphomaniac Malathian (broadly essayed with unrestrained hammy panache by Julia Parton) escapes from jail and goes on the rampage. Meanwhile the dippy Candy (the ever-adorable Elizabeth Kaitan) and eager Samantha (likable Rebecca Rocheford) help the persnickety Miss Thelma Louise Devonshire (delightfully played to uptight perfect by Jayne Hamil) with her upcoming marriage to the pompous police commissioner (the hilarious Jay Richardson). Writer/director Rick Sloane pours on the cheerful idiocy with his usual shameless abandon; this time we get suitably asinine jokes about such always uproarious subjects as electrocution, elderly strippers, and women beating up men. Steve Bigharat's bright cinematography makes this picture look more polished than previous entries. That awesomely cool-wailing theme song "Pistol Whipped" and Alan DerMardesian's hard-groovin' score hit the funky bull's eye. The cast portray their parts with tremendous go-for-it enthusiasm: Kaitan and Rocheford display a pleasant chemistry, Steve Mateo is engaging as studly lunkhead mechanic Anvil, and Chad Gabbert nerds it up something dweeby as the commissioner's geeky sci-fi fan son Irwin. The disastrous climactic wedding ceremony rates as a genuine tour-de-force of classical farce at its most brilliant and sophisticated. Better yet, both Parton and Kaitan expose their exquisitely enormous breasts. All in all, it's another radiant comedic gem.
... View MoreStill, only enjoyable late at night when delirium sets in, but when it does, you are able to kill time quite enjoyably.Unlike other films like this they actually have an attractive girl in Rocki Garner as Samantha, she looks similar to Cameron Diaz, and everyone knows how gorgeous she is. This film gets a higher rating than most of its kind because even though it's as stupid as it gets, it is never irritating. 5/10
... View MoreA dreary, threadbare comedy with some of the worst comic timing I've ever seen, but for some reason VA4 is still watchable. The best thing in the movie is definitely Julia Parton as Malithion, who is delightfully comical and over the top and is so gorgeous she virtually lights up the screen. Watch for the two prison guards!
