a weird but very cool and very 90's action movie where Jackie Chan basically fights people with almost anything and everything, it had a lot of 90's explosions and sharks, and it was just as weirdly amazing experience.

I'm putting this as a placeholder for all the Police Academy movies cause there's a good bit of them, they were weird, very 80's action movies, where the comedy was just.. so weirdly bad that it was so good.
