It is quiet rare for a comedy franchise to make a sequel that can turn out better than it's predecessor. I can recall 'Caddyshack' failed to follow up to it's original. The outcome to the sequel was terrible. However Police Academy 2 is a highly enjoyable sequel which succeeds in many departments. The main characters return to the screen again for a fun filled adventure. However Callahan was not in the cast and the introduction of Zed and sweet chuck was hilarious. In fact Zed is the main highlight in the movie and brings a smile to the face whenever he comes on screen. His presence is hysterical. His involvement was an integral part to the movie. His acting and comic timing was on target.
Spoiler After completing the training at Lassard's academy the misfit's put their ability and skills to the test on the streets. Lasard's brother is experiencing difficulty managing the worst precinct in the town and demands new recruits. Mahoney and the team are assigned to rid the streets of a gang syndicate that are wrecking havoc. However captain Moser is persistent to make their attempts fail so that he can get senior position. Eventually Mahoney goes undercover to integrate in to the gang so they can redeem themselves. END OF SPOILER
The movie had a shorter running time than the original but this does take away any quality aspects. The comedy portions are more funnier and moser's shower scene is a highlight. The element of senior level corruption is still the main factor in the movie as it was in the original. There is also a plot and the characters had something to do. I could not understand why the character of captain Harris could not be present. But his replacement of moser was not disappointing. He came as a surprise. Takleberry's character had a love interest in the form of Collen Camp which was interesting to watch as a sub plot. In comparison to the first movie this had a more gritty and downtown atmosphere to it. If you're a fan of the franchise, this should be in your collection.
