★★★★☆ (4/5) Best for: Nostalgia junkies, slapstick fans, anyone who believes police work needs more banana peels. Larvell Jones David Graf : Sgt
The well-meaning but perpetually confused head of the academy.
The competition culminates in a high-stakes (boat race) where a real-life emergency occurs: the Governor is kidnapped by a gang of thieves. The recruits and instructors must put their training to the test in a chaotic water chase to rescue the Governor and prove that Lassard’s academy is the superior institution.
