Comedies that aren't funny are pretty hard to defend. I will not even try with this one. One thing I found interesting about this one is the cast. As the head bad guy you get Frankie Valli of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons and GREASE fame. As his main muscle you get, Nicholas Worth, the large imposing psycho from DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE. Also Sonny Bono shows up for a bit. Sadly all of this all-star power doesn't really add much to the proceedings and it's all a rather dull attempt by some mobsters to regain some lost money. The VHS box makes this look like a POLICE ACADEMY rip-off which it isn't but there is a scene which spoofs MIAMI VICE so I guess that's sorta similar but also not particularly funny. Also to add insult to injury it's rated PG-13 so don't expect any boobs which would have at least spiced things up a bit. Pretty good dumb 80s comedy to skip.
The dude from 80s hair-metal band Kingdom Come shows up in this one scene which I guess might be of interest to someone:
