Police Academy 3: Back in Training

Police Academy 3: Back in Training (1986) is Jerry Paris's slapstick comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Budget cuts force the Governor to shut one of the state's two police academies, and the decision comes down to a head-to-head contest.

Whichever school washes out first gets the axe. So Commandant Lassard rounds up a fresh batch of hopeless recruits and calls back the old crew — Mahoney, towering Hightower, trigger-happy Tackleberry, sound-effects wizard Jones, and Hooks. Across the fence, the weaselly Mauser will rig anything to win, even planting his own people inside Lassard's ranks. From there it's the usual parade of pranks, chases, and obstacle-course mayhem.

Steve Guttenberg, Bubba Smith, and Michael Winslow are all back, with Winslow's mouth-made noises still the series' best running gag. The third entry is short, brainless, and built for exactly one thing: goofing on boot-camp chaos. If the first two won you over, this serves the same dish without surprises.
