Reception
The DVD/Video Guide by Mick Martin & Marsha Porter gave the first two Police Academy films 2 stars out of 5; and each subsequent film received a Turkey (their lowest score.) Fellow critic/historian Leonard Maltin seemed to concur; he said this film was "...recommended only for people who thought PA#5 was robbed at the Oscars."
The movie performed poorly at the US Box Office grossing $11 million and marking the decline of the Police Academy franchise. It also earned the designation of being the first Police Academy movie not to place first in the US weekend box office.
The movie had a mostly negative response.
