I have a lot of sympathy for the Police Academy venture, and the third episode does still pack quite a few memorable scenes, but especially in its second half (starting with the party), it does run out of steam and becomes formulaic. I didn't like the megaknockers-meets-Chinaman affair between lieutenant Callahan and cadet Nogata, and the denouement (academy staff and cadets prove their worth by riding around on speedboats) is total hogwash.
This third part got a lot of exposure, and many people assume that, because it's somewhat bit shoddy, the previous episodes must have been just as lacklustre or even worse, which really isn't the case.
It still works as brainless fun, especially if you fast-forward through that final marina chase segment.
