Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach

Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach (1988) is a crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM. The squad of bumbling cops flies to Florida, where Commandant Lassard is set to collect a lifetime achievement award before retirement.

The trip goes sideways fast. Lassard accidentally walks off with a stash of diamonds from a jewel heist, and the thieves trail him across the city to get them back. The usual faces handle the rescue: sound-effects whiz Jones, the towering Hightower, screechy Hooks, and trigger-happy Tackleberry. Expect speedboat chases, beach mishaps, and a vacation that falls apart in slow motion.

This fifth entry in the 80s franchise is the first without Steve Guttenberg, though it keeps the same broad gag-a-minute style, with George Gaynes back as Lassard. The humor is cartoonish and undemanding, which is exactly the point if you want to switch off and laugh at cops tripping over themselves. Stream Police Academy 5 (1988) online on iFILM.
