Review of Police Academy (1984) by Jesus H — 17 May 2012

Humorous first entry to the franchise with a couple classic scenes and introducing us to the motley crew of characters. It's easy to see how the novelty wore off with subsequent installments though and it doesn't really hold up to repeat viewings particularly given the nonsense riot scenes toward the end.

Kim Cattrall looks fantastic - it's a shame she only appeared in obscure movies (with the possible exception of Mannequin) for over a decade after the success of this and Porky's and opted not to return for any of the sequels.
