Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol (1987)

Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

More of the same from the wackiest police force on the streets, and their newly recruited civilian helpers. Goldfish-loving Commandant Lassard institutes a new community policing programme, and slimy Captain Harris (Bailey) tries to sabotage the operation. Plenty of pigeon-shit, superglue and squirting ketchup sight gags, plus the usual smutty verbal innuendo. Highlights again include Goldthwait's strangulated vocal ejaculations, a couple of Ninja movie naff-dubbing jokes, and a signposted life-saving gag featuring the chesty Easterbrook in a wet T-shirt.
