POLICE ACADEMY 6: CITY UNDER SIEGE stars (yes, stars) Bubba Smith as one of a number of bumbling Los Angeles police officers trying to catch the Wilson Heights Gang, a band of thieves on a robbery spree. When the gang pulls off a bank job right under the nose of Police Capt. Harris (G.W. Bailey), he calls upon a special squad (the usual crew: Michael Winslow, David Graf, Marion Ramsey, Leslie Easterbrook, Bruce Mahler, and Lance Kinsey) to bring the robbers to justice. Like its series predecessors, POLICE ACADEMY 6 (directed by Peter Bonerz, best known as Jerry the dentist on TV's "Bob Newhart Show") offers only a few funny bits of sophomoric humor, and lame bits of slapstick still predominate. On the plus side, POLICE ACADEMY 6 is skillfully photographed by Charles Rosher, Jr., and has a very good soundtrack, supplied by Robert Folk. Unfortunately, high production values are wasted on films this slow-paced and silly. leave a comment
