Kicking buttski. Making you laughski. The Academy is backski!
Just when we thought the Cold War was over, leave it to these guys to heat it up again.
The Russians need help in dealing with the Mafia and so they seek help with the veterans of the Police Academy. They head off to Moscow, in order to find evidence against Konstantin Konali, who marketed a computer game that everyone in the world is playing. With a sequel to the game he wants to put backdoors in all computer systems on which it gets installed, thus providing access to the police and other government systems.

"They've been doing this act for over a hundred years."
posted on 01 Jul 2009What is it that's so resolutely unfunny about Mission to Moscow? Is it the lifeless direction? The disinterested performances? The lack of atmosphere? The joke-free script? It's all of these things, of course, but there's also something inexplicably poor about it that you just can't quite put your finger on.The regulars are the major weak point. While the guest cast have the misjudged enthusiasm to irksomely overact, all the usual culprits seem embarrassed by the whole thing. None of them sell their underwritten, reheated lines, and the fact that Bubba Smith and Marion Ramsey failed to sign up is a damning indictment. What comes through the screen, from George Gaynes to David Graf, is the sense of souls bleeding. "Please get me a proper job, there must be a better way to pay my mortgage" these actors scream with every fibre of their being. Leslie Easterbrook gets her usual single "my character's got big breasts" joke - why does she even bother to sign up for this crap? Michael Winslow looks old, tired, and frankly bored with the whole thing. Was his involvement only confirmed at the last minute? Because while he gives a curiously muted performance throughout, the script also fails to accommodate his talents in almost any way. Note that this is the ONLY Police Academy sequel in which he doesn't do his (admittedly run into the ground) "Bruce Lee" schtick.Police Academy managed to keep up the same level of quality between films three to six - they were all rubbish. But even by their low standards Mission to Moscow plumbs the depths, making Citizens on Patrol look like Annie Hall. New recruit Charlie Schlatter, there for the completely incongruous love interest theme, is never funny and the Russian characters are the crass stereotypes you'd expect. Any film that promises "we're going to kick buttski" is clearly dumber than is tolerable, and a tasteless reference to Chernobyl doesn't help matters.The only Police Academy film made outside the 80s, it was produced five years after the last one - why?!!?? Was there a big demand in the market for sh*te? Some cartoon sound effects (whistles, birdcall, etc.) are added to the action to try and pep things up, but this really is a DOA of a movie. True to form (or should that be formula?) it ends with an extended chase sequence that is neither suspenseful nor convincing.Just look at scenes like the one where G.W. Bailey gets hit in the face with stew. The stew is clearly missing his face and just lands on his chin, so Bailey (the only regular who tries) moves his face so that the full brunt of the stew will land on it. This dedication to duty is admirable, but also perfectly highlights the sloppy desperation of the whole thing.The series' move from the teen fodder of the first two, 15 certificate, movies had been subverted into the last five, PG cert entries. This is at its lowest ebb here; a comedy that seems wholly aimed at the under-5s and doesn't know what to do with its characters. Russian acrobats entertain the kiddies while its ... er... "stars"... are left to stand around like second bananas, giving unfunny reaction shots.Maybe it's the "fish out of water" feel of it all, with the somewhat flat Russian espionage themes failing to ignite. But whatever it is, Mission to Moscow feels like a TV sitcom with the canned laughter track removed. In any other franchise this would be described as an "unfortunate, sad end" to the series. With Police Academy however, finishing with one of the unfunniest comedies of all time seems strangely apt. 2/10.
So bad you'll feel an urge to stab yourself in the leg with a fork!
posted on 13 Jun 2009Watching this film was, without a doubt, one of the most painful and tortuous events of my life. It's not just that the same tired old jokes don't work anymore, it's the feeling of utter despair and sympathy for the actors who have been reduced to turning out this kind of drivel in order to feed their families. I feel like I should sue the studio for depriving me of 82 minutes of my life.
Don't waste your time
posted on 27 Nov 2008This is the worst movie I've ever seen. It's a shame that a funny movie like Police Academy spawned so many awful sequels. Watching it I felt embarrassed for the film's actors, producers, and everyone else involved in its making. Those guys must really need what little money this straight-to-video disaster brought in.
rule of thumb
posted on 19 Oct 2008There is a rule of thumb that goes along with Police Academy: Mission to Moscow, if u liked the first 6 Police Academy movies that came before it..., it doesn't matter you are still going to think this movie sucks. It was obviously just a production company trying to make sure they squeezed the last possible cent out of the series and forgot they should have come up with a watchable plot first.
A great classic slice of humourings.
posted on 29 Aug 2008I am liking this movie very nicely.It is about a group of silly policemen who go to Russia with their crazy personalities and cause much frivolity.I have never seen such funny scenes crammed into one movie. They should have extended this movie to 3 hours, indeed. So much was the plottings and humourings. Nice.I loved the scenes with the banana skin for the slipping on. I wet my pant at the sight of G.W. Bailey crashing through the wall. So funny.I dripped urine at the sight of the big boobed woman causing the Russians to get all hot and sweaty. Very funny, indeed.I laughed until I bled at the sight of Lassard coughing an egg into the mouth of the Russian guy, and laughed even harder when the Russian guy coughed the egg back into Lassard's mouth. I thought I was going to die! Such was my hilarity. Indeed.
The first time in my life I've ever consciously missed Bobcat Goldthwaite…
posted on 02 Aug 2008Ah, so here we are. Rock bottom. The Police Academy series has been through a lot of ups and downs over the years. They seem to have been hugely popular during their times of release, and really, if you look at the numbers, it's not hard to see why such a prodigious stream of sequels was made. The first movie was made for a budget of around $4.5 million and brought in a stupendous $81 million at the box office. The second movie brought in $55 million, part 3 brought $43.5 million, part 4 $28 million, part 5 almost $20 million, part 6 a meager $5 million, and Mission to Moscow proudly raked in a whopping $126,000. If nothing else, the Police Academy franchise stands as a perfect example of a film series that was played out until it was officially a very, very dead horse.The awesomely moronic plot this time involves a Russian mafia boss named Konstantine Konali (played by none other than Ron Perlman, now better known as Hellboy), who is marketing a video game that he plans to use to secretly distribute a computer virus that will allow him to hack into government security systems and like, take over the world or something. The movie opens with a scene that is meant to show us how purely addicting this game is. We see a news report where a woman is giving her news report, and her co-anchor, a man in maybe his 50s or so, is sitting next to her oblivious what's going on because he's so entranced by the Game Boy he's playing. I imagine we weren't supposed to notice that there was no cartridge in the machine he's playing, but no matter. I'm willing to let that go in order to enjoy the avalanche of stupidity that was to follow. So why are the members of our beloved Police Academy in Moscow in the first place? Well, it seems that the Russians need help in dealing with the Russian mafia, so they have recruited the help of the most famous police academy in America. And mostly the gang is all here except for Mahoney and Zed, both of whom I am sad to say are missed. Lassard, of course, is his usual self, so he has gotten himself lost and ends up at a Russian funeral within a few hours of touching down in Moscow, so the rest of the team occupies themselves with trying to compile evidence against Konali while Harris follows along two steps behind waiting to jump in at just the right moment and claim credit for everything. As usual this provides plenty of opportunities for bonehead comedy, but they just pulled out all the stops with the low brow humor this time. Harris and Tackleberry end up dancing in full make-up and costume in a Russian ballet in one of the movie's most embarrassing scenes, Harris attempts to spy on Konali and instead gets a dog peeing in his eye through a periscope, and Jones has developed the ability to open safes with his noise effects. Sigh. In the movie's defense, it does have it's moments. Well, it has it's moment, anyway. There is a scene where Tackleberry jumps at the opportunity to give a speech to the Russian authorities about American law enforcement tactics, and he launches into a vicious beratement of the piddly "excessive force" policies that are tying his hands back in the states. Yeah, the movie is spectacularly stupid, but this might have been one of Tackleberry's two or three best scorns in the entire series. If you ever find yourself watching this thing on DVD, make sure to watch the short supplemental video that's included! I have to admit that I have found it particularly interesting and amusing to watch these videos for each installment in the series, where much of the original cast come back together and discuss the movies. I especially love G.W. Bailey (who played Captain Harris), who clearly has grown weary of having ever had anything to do with the series. In the video for part 5, he sarcastically mentioned people who would approach him years later and ask if he still had "Dork" tanned across his chest. For this one, it is noticeably difficult for him to conceal his resentment as he talks about his past in performing Shakespeare on stage, and now he's remembered for a dog peeing in his eye. Don't worry, Mr. Bailey, haven't you seen the box office for this movie? No one's seen it!
I'm in de bathrooooom...
posted on 12 Jul 2008SPOILERS (as if anybody cares!)I just found this movie on IMDB's Bottom 150 films and as a longtime fan of the PA series, decided to watch it again to see if it's really as bad as people are claiming it to be.Folks, it's not THAT bad...It's just your average slapstick comedy of errors. I wonder how many people that trashed this film actually watched it. And I wonder if they are the same ones that sing the praises of Deuce Bigelow Male Gigolo. There is at least two genuinely funny scenes, one of which I referred to in the subject. I won't spoil the other one for you. The plot isn't completely contrived either. The premise of the Russian video game as a criminal tool is great. I wish it had been explored further. Konstantin Kanali (Ron Pearlman) is genuinely funny and charismatic. Cmdt. Lasard (George Gaines) also steals a few scenes. I never tire of his deadpan expression.This isn't Citizen Kane but it might induce a few chuckles. Just don't try to analyze it as if it were the Godfather. **/*****
the Citizen Kane of comedies
posted on 27 Jun 2008Police Academy: Mission to Moscow is without doubt up there as the Citizen Kane of comedies. It has revolutionised comic conventions as we know it and holds a very grand flame atop the highest mountain known to man.I would like to mention everything that is so remarkable about this seminal movie but I feel I would be doing it an injustice if I decided to go in too deeply. I am sure any Russian or Eastern European would agree that Police Academy: Mission to Moscow grants this particular part of the world such a unique and generous perspective. The movie's socio-cultural analysis of Russian society and its insightful perceptions into the inner workings of the Russian psyche are just mindblowing and a joy to behold.Every scholar, creature, and living organism should gallop wholeheartedly towards what I can only describe as a masterpiece of contemporary cinema. It does not only reflect cinema but art as a whole. You can appreciate Michelangelo's David, Bizet's Carmen, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, but you can also appreciate Police Academy: Mission to Moscow. That can be inserted quite confidently into the same category. I think I will walk away and cry as a result of my never to be forgotten experience. Send me to heaven, send me to hell - I will never forget the authenticity of this monumental moment in my life.
My review on the 7th installment in the "Police Academy" series...
posted on 28 Apr 2008"Police Academy" first came out in or around 1984, I think. The first time I've seen this movie (and this was not in theaters, this was way later, on TV, I think), it was funny. It was like "Car 54, Where Are You?" Almost.Several parts later, the Police Academy jump the pond...all the way to Moscow, Russia! There, they have to deal with the Russian Mafia. I've read the tagline for this movie, and that made me laugh: "Kicking buttski. Making you laughski. The Academy is backski!" You gotta love the "ski" part of Eastern European languages; believe me! You have to try that sometime! I hope there will be an 8th "Police Academy" movie in the works soon!
awesome movie!
posted on 16 Apr 2008Great movie! How in the world did Forrest Gump win the Oscar over this movie? It's such a travesty that not one person from this film was even nominated for an award! How could the people who vote for the Oscars overlook such a great script and phenomenal acting? Oh well, I can't wait for the next Police Academy movie. Hopefully the next one won't get overlooked come Oscar time!
I hate Mowser and yet... I love Proctor!?!
posted on 07 Apr 2008Not since the last time I saw a duck gang raped have I seen something so horrifyingI wept like a teased vagina when I saw this movie, not because of the obvious sentimentality due to it being the last film in a classic series, but because it's the worst film since Ricky Gervais is the Godfather part 3. I have accidentally seen this film thirty seven times, on one such viewing I struggled to hear the monged dialogue under the unsavoury and mournful sounds of my uncle puffing forcefully into my youngest cousins rusty trombone, I tried to block the grotesque noise out to no avail. After 11 to 13 minutes of intense tromboning, I grew rather tired quite frankly, not of the film, nay, I grew tired like a hungry angry hobo desperately chasing a tattered and unusable dollar bill attached to a nylon hemp mix string, the string being tugged on by what can only be described as a mad Texan oil tycoon on a llama genitalia bender with no wilful end in sight. An oil tycoon upon first sight, looked to be the kind of man who would don a pimp hat and cape and escort his good lady wife Veronica (who is also a dribbling aubergine) out in a lace nightgown and squire her about town as if to say "look at me! I have an erection!" To think about the hopes and dreams young Guttenberg, trigger happy Tackleberry, tall ass Hightower, crazy sounds Winslow and that dirty snake rat Mowser had for this series to be the next A-Team, it makes my heart bleed like fresh sex change operation scars in a hot bath. Thanks to this detritus, the film makers now have film making pie all over their custom made Italian zeut suits, unlike any other film made pastry, this doesn't wash off using traditional detergents. An angry sherpa once crossed the street to give me a freshly felched child worth of free advice, he spake and I quote "Once a film series goes past six movies, well... you may as well put one half of a fully grown cantaloupe on your head and yell I'M A HAMSTER, I'M A HAMSTER and waste many a summer night crying over so much spilt milk on your brand new mink and lilac flavoured carpet freshly laid by a Mr. Russell (Rusty) Ramirez, because then, only then does your soul go to Mount Blackafelch in the arid regions of Upper Ramsbottom. Where it shall receive numerous donkey punches and strawberry shortcakes about its person, not to mention the complementary pair of Arabian Goggles given unto thee by Hot Karl" well... suffice to say, these words have stuck to me like bed linen on the stitches of a tracheotomy patient in a training hospital, I feel truer words have never been spoken...that is... until now... of course... Holla!!! P.S I hate Mowser and the duck died of A.I.D.S
Not very smart
posted on 29 Mar 2008First and foremost this is a funny movie. Problem is, it's been done six times before. We have here the seventh installment to the ever popular Police Academy series and not the best in the bunch, not the worst either. Personally, I thought part six was worse than this.Having the Academy go to Moscow and reek havoc was so much of a good idea that it might work. It does work for a while until it becomes routine comedy. Slapstick is one but routine gets tiresome. Now I hope this is the final part in the series, 'cuz it gets old too fast.The acting was okay, the direction was fairly decent, and that parts finding the person's DNA and habits with the hair and front desk clerk posing as the commander while sitting on the toilet were well done. The main plot was the sleeper here, and the small comedy parts were the interesting parts in this movie hence the 5 out of 10 rating I give.
What happened?
posted on 14 Mar 2008This film is the worst film that I have ever seen in my entire life. Where is Guttenberg and all the funny charachters? Why is the tall, blonde women being betin up? What in every courses names is going on in this movie? The first movie in this serie was good. The second one good, third one good, fourth was funny at it's places and so was also the case of the fifth...number six was very bad and number seven is so f***ing bad that im crying when i see the piece of crap.
everything about me....is real
posted on 22 Oct 2007the gang are all back this time in moscow in part seven in one of the least successful franchises of all time.the plot(ha!)involves a video game and a Russian crimelord who wants to use the game as a key to do all diabolical things.... so the Russian police invite police academy to help them catch their man (have they never seen the previous six movies?)all involved look ashamed to be involved in this film, and apart from captain harris, the characters have all lost their traits that made them so likable in the first place.the story is a farce and the jokes are as stale as month old bread. Christopher lee should know better and Clare Forlani should wipe this off her CVabysmal in every sebse of the world.i will never get that eighty minutes of my life back.don't let it happen to you.
Only one laugh
posted on 01 Sep 2007I had said in my review of the first "Police Academy" that I had never seen the seventh film in the series subtitled "Mission to Moscow". Well guess what? I just happened to catch it on TV, and I wish I hadn't. The "Police Academy" series did hit absolute rock bottom with "Police Academy: Mission to Moscow". I only laughed once through the entire picture. Only once.1/2* (out of four)
Score another one for the wacky cops we all love!!
posted on 12 Jun 2007I eagerly awaited this film as I had seen the others and laughed like crazy. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it until recently and have not yet been able to urge IMDB readers to go and rent. Tackleberry and Commandant Lassard are back, as well as all those great sound effects from Michael Winslow. (Check out Michael Winslow's website, by the way!) Seriously, I haven't enjoyed such hijinks since Dunston Checks In. Not an oscar winner, but a fun, "let-it-all-hang-out" kind of comedy. Enjoy watching our men and women in blue wreak havoc on foreign soil.
Even the tagline suckski!
posted on 24 Feb 2007Terribly unfunny addition to the "Police Academy" series involving no plot whatsoever. Guttenberg is gone, Goldthwait is gone, and pretty much the entire original cast is gone. Not that they were any good to begin with.Continuity errors, including charactrs' names being misspelled on numerous occasions, make this (hopefully!) the last "Police Academy" film to come along. I'd actually like to see another one made, just so I can say, without a doubt, that this is the most-milked franchise ever.0/5 stars -John Ulmer
Not as good as the others!
posted on 19 Jul 2009If you have never seen a police academy movie, than this one might be ok to watch. It has its entertaining moments but nowhere near compares to the original. It does not deserve the low rating it has recived on this site.
