Simply A Masterpiece
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The acting in this movie is really good.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
The seventh POLICE ACADEMY film and the one that notoriously killed off the franchise (TV series and planned remake aside). This one sees the few remaining familiar faces heading off to Russia to combat an evil megalomaniac who plans to put Trojan horse software into a popular video game franchise he's created.It's as ludicrous as it sounds, but what really hurts MISSION TO MOSCOW is the lack of talent involved. I never thought I'd miss Steve Guttenberg but I really did and David Graf is no substitute. Michael Winslow is the only one I have any remaining liking for and even he's more annoying than funny here. Poor old George Gaynes and G.W. Bailey play out the same tired gags that they've been running since the first instalment.It's fair to say that I never laughed once during this puerile gag-fest in which all the jokes are well telegraphed, the slapstick is painful rather than amusing, and the acting embarrassing. This is the infamous POLICE ACADEMY that Christopher Lee appeared in as a favour, although thankfully he's not on screen too much. As for Ron Perlman's villain...well, Perlman has made his disdain of the movie widely known, so there's not much more to be said than that.
Michael Winslow, David Graff, Leslie Easterbrook, Charlie Schlatter, Claire Forlani, Ron Perlman, G.W. Bailey, George Gaynes and Christopher Lee star in this 1994 comedy sequel. In this final entry, Commandant Lassard (Gaynes) and his team of misfits, Jones (Winslow), Tackleberry (Graf), Callahan (Easterbrook) and Harris (Bailey) visit Moscow to stop a Soviet mobster, Constantine Konali (Perlman) In the process, Lassard unwittingly becomes a member of a Russian family. Schlatter plays rookie cop, Kyle Connors who has vertigo, Forlani plays Katrina, a woman who Connors gets romantic with and Lee plays Soviet Commander, Ratkov. I think this could've been better and upset that Bubba Smith and Marion Ramsay were not in it.
A Russian mafia boss(Perlman, who can't not be a badass... he is only human, though, and he can't save this; neither can a Stalinesque Lee) has put out a new cartridge(played on the GameBoy, available from Nintendo at your local stores in a variety of colors!; also, going by the first scene(by the way, did they have nothing to cut to?), you don't need to insert it to play it), and there's some crime or somesuch. Clearly the writers didn't care, so why should we? Trust me, when you find out what the supposed plan is, it's beyond ridiculous. I watched the second movie, the third and then this on TV. Not sure why they skipped the three inbetween... I have a hard time imagining that they were worse than this. At this time six years had passed since a flick in the series(you know, back when they cranked them out as if their oxygen supply was depending on it). You might think this time was spent on a script. You would be wrong. This is violently unfunny, with extremely poor, uninspired and half-assedly executed gags. Do you laugh when you see things flying back and forth through the air? If so, this is for you. Literally, I think that was their goal. Try to count the amount of objects that you'll see this happen to. They're also unbelievably culturally insensitive. If this stuff was at least clever, or had genuine observations, but it's based on a proud ignorance(and clear fear) of anything beyond the borders of the US. Had this been seen by many ex-Soviets, the Cold War may have started back up. Not just because it's offensive, no, also on account of how incredibly stupid it makes its country of origin look. Look. I have guilty pleasures. We all do. This one, however, crosses a line that I'm not sure anybody realized existed. You see, whenever the production of a creative enterprise is undertaken, there's an expectation that actual effort will go into it. If nothing else, by accident. This manages to avoid that entirely. A lot of energy must have been spent on keeping it out. The acting is bad. Characters are cartoons. The "humor" is screwball without skill. Cinematography and editing are average at best. At least there are hot chicks. There is brief nudity in this. I recommend this to those who have to experience the dread for themselves. 1/10
Resting down on the toilet, I released my bowels.Police Academy: Mission To Moscow splattered all over the toilet bowl.Good lord, it stunk. I mean really, really stunk. I had to open the window.Mrs. Blandflapp from next door could even smell it. " Hey, Gruber! Have you been shitt*ng out Police Academy 7 again? Stop it or I'll take legal action."This 'movie' is truly a shocker. It lacks humour, atmosphere and virtually everything else required to make a film watchable.My insane cousin loves it, though. He splits his pants at the sight of Lassard getting into a funeral hearse and later spitting out an egg. He drips urine at the sight of Captain Harris dressed as a ballerina. My cousin is also completely mental and dangerous.
