About Police Academy 3: Back in Training
When police funding is cut, the Governor announces he must close one of the academies. To make it fair, the two police academies must compete against each other to stay in operation. Mauser persuades two officers in Lassard's academy to better his odds, but things don't quite turn out as expected...
Directed by Jerry Paris, Police Academy 3: Back in Training leans on a strong ensemble — Steve Guttenberg, Bubba Smith, David Graf — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1986.
