Review of Police Academy 3: Back in Training (1986) by Tim S — 30 May 2014
Police Academy 3: Back in Training is the third film in the Police Academy series. The previous film was a letdown for fans of the first film, but the third film manages to gain a better story than the last, but at the same time, going with even softer material than before.
Like the last film, the main cast returns, including the breakout star Bobcat Goldthwait. The story now involves two police academies who are being judged by a committee as to which academy is more effective and the other being shut down.
A lot of the slapstick gags are back, with occasionally funny quips, but overall, it's a better sequel than the previous one. This also seemed like a good place to stop with the franchise, but as we all know, they couldn't leave it alone and did more sequels after this one.
