No matter how bad the other six films can get, they all deliver one or two funny moments. I wanted to be sick at this one as “Mission To Moscow” is nothing more than a demonstration of how not to make a movie. It has no heart and no concept of humour. Making people laugh is the purpose of a comedy, isn’t it?
All you favourites (or should I say, what’s left of the unfunny bunch of the last six movies) return and this time they’re going to Moscow. The Russian mafia leader (Ron Pearlman “Hellboy”) has invented a piece of software that is presented in the form of a videogame but can steal people’s private information (bank account numbers etc…) so it’s up to the dopes in blue to stop him.
None of the characters are funny or even likeable and none of their dialog is good. Michael Winslow (“Spaceballs”) is horrid this time around. None of them are funny but I admit to chuckling mildly at some of his antics but here, I wouldn’t look twice at him. Tackleberry (David Graf “Police Academy”) and Callahan (Leslie Easterbrook “Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol”) are all horrific. Not even G. W. Bailey (“Police Academy”) as Harris can offer any miniscule amount of entertainment.
“Mission To Moscow” is not just the worst “Police Academy” film by far but it’s one of the worst comedies I’ve ever seen. From beginning to end, it’s nauseatingly stupid and uncomfortably boring. “Mission To Moscow” offers nothing that is even remotely positive as it would rather spit in our faces with such disgustingly dumb antics that make the first “Police Academy” look like a reasonable comedy. This movie was meant to be funny like a comedy but instead, it’s closer to a horror. Let’s just pray they never make “Police Academy 8: Here Comes The Fun Brigade”.
