What's The Matter With Your World

The last of the academy movies I saw.

Never saw the one where they go to Russia and do not really care too. They at this point really were stretching the premise thin with this one. However, they do try some differing things here so it is not the worst of the series that I have seen. Basically, the academy is just a part of the title to associate it with the other movies. The cast is the same familiar faces and the jokes are about the same too. Here though they are trying to stop a crime wave involving these guys who map everything out and leave very little evidence. There is a head guy who is behind it all and who he is adds a bit of mystery, but not much this is a comedy after all not a crime mystery movie. In the end Hightower has to fight someone just as strong as he is, Takleberry must face down someone as good with guns as he is, and Michael Winslow's character must take down someone as good in karate as he is. After this movie they would thankfully take a break from making these movies, and it looked like it had finally ended until Mission to Moscow would come out. Never saw it so I can not review it, and I am not going to try to track it down just so I can see and review all this movies.
