Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment Audience Reviews

Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Leofwine_draca The first POLICE ACADEMY sequel is already a step down in quality from the first film. Gone is the slightly crude, cutting humour, the level of wit you'd expect from a successful '80s comedy, to be replaced by straightforward slapstick and exaggerated character humour. It's still a fun film, but only in a mildly amusing kind of way, and more than a little childish.There's virtually no plotting here to speak of, other than having most of the characters return to set up base in a run-down precinct where they get up to the usual hijinks. It's notable that many of the original cast members have little to do other than play on expectation, with the exception being Michael Winslow who continues to delight as always. The newcomers are the ones who really steal the show: Bobcat Goldthwait is unforgettable (and not necessarily in a good way) as the gang leader, but it's Art Metrano who really shines as the new adversary. I even preferred him to G. W. Bailey in the first film, and that shower gag is the movie's highlight for me.
Jamesfilmfan905 Is the sequel to the 1984 original film which did surprisingly well at the box office but wasn't a success with the critics but anyway it made a sequel out of it stars Steve Guttenberg Mahoney , Bubba smith hightower , and many more as the new police academy recruits who have graduated from the academy and they are sent on there first assignment to clean up Howard hessman Pete lassard commandant lassards brother whose police force is the worst in the city and also have to contend with Art metrano lieutenant mouser and ambitious officer who wants to make captain and make his dumb lackey proctor played by lance Kinsey . Anyway to all those who read this is the last police academy sequel that actually provides you with laughs Don't look at the sequels after this one there rubbish seriously the worst sequels ever made please don't watch them after this one iam doing you a serious favour
Petri Pelkonen A gang is causing trouble on the streets.The police academy recruits are needed to bring back the peace to the streets.Of course they do just the opposite.Peter Lassard's (Eric's brother) precinct is the worst in the city.He is given 30 days or he is out.Lieutenant Mauser wants his spot.Now this guy tries to make the job of these recruits, that were given to the precinct by Eric, as hard as possible.Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment (1985) is directed by Jerry Paris.The cast is pretty much the same as was in the first part.Steve Guttenberg plays Officer Carey Mahoney.Bubba Smith is Moses Hightower.David Graf is Eugene Tackleberry.Michael Winslow plays Larvell Jones.Bruce Mahler plays Douglas Fackler.Marion Ramsey is Laverne Hooks.George Gaynes plays Commandant Eric Lassard.This fine man was born on May 16, 1917 in Helsinki, which means he turns 95 today.It's always a treat to watch him do his thing.Howard Hesseman plays his brother Peter 'Pete' Lassard.Colleen Camp plays Sgt. Kathleen Kirkland.Her violent family members are played by Arthur Batanides (Old Max), Jackie Joseph and Andrew Paris (Bud).Art Metrano is Lt./Captain Mauser.Bobcat Goldthwait plays plays the part of the gang leader Zed.Ed Herlihy is seen as Officer Dooley.Jason Hervey (now 40), who was also seen in Back to the Future that year playing Milton Baines, plays Brat in this movie.G.W. Bailey is seen only as Wedding guest.This is as good as was the first part.Winslow is once again funny with his voices.Like when he's having fun with the couple on a date.And the pranks Mahoney pulls on Mauser.The romance between Tackleberry and Kirkland, two gun-crazy love birds, is sweet.And Zed is a great add to the series.
SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain It's a natural progression, but the film was certainly rushed into production. Because of this they dropped the ball in certain aspects. Only 6 of the original cadets are able to appear, which forces more focus onto a love affair for Tackleberry. This actually works out, as Cattrall's boring character is nowhere to be seen. This allows Mahoney to go free and not be tied down. Unfortunately Harris is out, due to Bailey being busy with other commitments. Luckily the new antagonist isn't terrible, but he just misses that spark. Seeing the cadets out on the beat is quite smile inducing, if repetitive. Winslow uses his vocal techniques, people are taken aback by Smith's size, Ramsey is belittled because of her voice etc. It's familiar territory, and the new characters are hardly stand-out. Let's face it, if a film franchise like this had tried to develop its characters, we'd be even more disappointed.
