Police Academy 5 Assignment Miami Beach (1988)

Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach is a 1988 American comedy film and the fifth installment in the long-running Police Academy franchise Key Details Director: Alan Myerson Writer: Stephen Curwick (based on characters by Neal Israel and Pat Proft) Release Date: March 18, 1988 Runtime: About 90 minutes Rating: PG (for language and ribald humor) Budget: Around $14 million Box Office: Approximately $19.5 million domestic (worldwide ~$54.5 million in some reports) Plot Summary : The story follows the bumbling Police Academy graduates as they travel to Miami Beach to honor Commandant Eric Lassard (George Gaynes) at a police chiefs' convention. Captain Harris (Lance Kinsey) tries to sabotage Lassard to take over his position. A luggage mix-up leads the team into a chaotic adventure involving jewel thieves, a kidnapping, and plenty of slapstick mayhem. The rookies (with help from local officers played by Matt McCoy and Janet Jones) must rescue Lassard while causing their usual brand of accidental destruction. The Famous Airplane Scene : It's a classic slapstick sequence where the gang is on a flight to Miami. Chaos erupts when a passenger (played by director Alan Myerson) lights up a cigar, leading to confrontations, Michael Winslow's sound effects, Tackleberry's over-the-top "security" measures, Hooks' outbursts, and the plane eventually being filled with extinguisher foam. It's often cited as one of the franchise's funniest pure-comedy moments.
