Back to the sequels

"Police Academy 8: Crime Lab Unit"

Originals: The madcap misadventures of L.A. recruits as they bumble through training, bust bad guys and save the day—seven times.

The sequel:  New trainees in the L.A.P.D.'s forensics unit cut up cadavers while cracking jokes and pulling pranks on the Academy brass in this “CSI”-inspired spoof.

Oral sound effects wizard Michael Winslow returns, of course, as Capt. Larvelle Jones—the only character to appear in all previous movies and TV series—but the big news is Steve Guttenberg’s long awaited return as Carey Mahoney, the cop-turned-private dick who lost his badge for “rampant sexual misconduct.” Trainees team with veterans to take down a serial killer who (spoiler alert!) turns out to be gang member-turned-cop Zed (played by Bobcat Goldthwait).
