Police Academy 6: City Under Siege (1989)
It’s fair to say the first three Police Academy movies were the best of the series. Much like the fourth installment, Police Academy 6: City Under Siege failed to reinvigorate the plot and it failed to capitalize on the comedy that fans grew accustomed to.
Perhaps Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) described this movie the best when she wrote, “It’s a sequel to a sequel to a sequel to a sequel to a sequel. But it is so much less than that.” This would be the last time fans would get to see Bubba Smith, Marion Ramsey, Bruce Mahler, Lance Kinsey, and George R. Robertson as Hightower, Hooks, Fackler, Proctor, and Commissioner Hurst.
Marking the end of an era, this is the first movie of the series which finished second at the U.S. the box office behind Lean on Me. The film grossed $4,032,480 during its opening week and $11,567,217 at the close of the domestic box office.
