Still, only enjoyable late at night when delirium sets in, but when it does, you are able to kill time quite enjoyably.Unlike other films like this they actually have an attractive girl in Rocki Garner as Samantha, she looks similar to Cameron Diaz, and everyone knows how gorgeous she is. This film gets a higher rating than most of its kind because even though it's as stupid as it gets, it is never irritating. 5/10

Dumb but beloved

Warning: Spoilers
You'd think I'd stop after three Vice Academy movies. Guess what? I'm the person that watched 160 slashers in October and 130 spy movies in April. I'll watch every single Vice Academy movie that comes my way.
Candy (Elizabeth Kaitan, who played this role in Vice Academy 3 to 6) and her new partner Samantha (Rebecca Rocheford) are up against Malathion (Julia Parton), who has broken out of jail again. Yes, it's the same plot as just about every other one of these films, but you aren't watching this for the plot.
The Commissioner and Miss Thelma are getting married, as long as our villain and her new man Anvil (Steve Mateo, who was Professor Kaufinger in 3 and Brock in 5) have their sinister way.
Rick Sloane based one of the characters in this movie on his mom. Yes, in a sex comedy. That's why I love life. Even when things seem dark, weirdness in all its wonder is all around us.
You will learn nothing from this movie. You will not find the secret to any mystery. You will see some girls in 90's underwear and some dumb cop jokes. That said, perhaps those two things are the answer to life.

Certainly Better Than I Expected
Uriah4313 May 2016
This movie begins with the vice agent known as "Candy" (Elizabeth Kaitan) and a newcomer to the series who goes by the name of "Samantha" (Rebecca Rocheford Davies) at the police station reading a magazine titled "Prison Romance" which they think "Miss Devonshire" (Jayne Hamil) is using to attract male suitors. It turns out that she writes an advice column for the magazine to help both male and female prisoners in their relationships. While she is explaining this a dangerous criminal named "Malanthian" (Julia Parton) manages to once again escape from the prison and the first person she seeks out for revenge is-Miss Devonshire. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film should serve as a model on how to make a successful low-budget comedy. Although the plot was rather basic, what made this film so unique was the really good script which consisted of lines that were so stupid and ridiculous that they turned out to quite hilarious. And the actors managed to play it for what it was worth as some of the expressions on their faces were downright priceless. Having said that, this isn't a great film by any means. However, I thought this movie was certainly better than I expected and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.
Malithion rules!
$TEVE McD5 July 2000
A dreary, threadbare comedy with some of the worst comic timing I've ever seen, but for some reason VA4 is still watchable. The best thing in the movie is definitely Julia Parton as Malithion, who is delightfully comical and over the top and is so gorgeous she virtually lights up the screen. Watch for the two prison guards!
Witless, laughless comedy
gridoon202422 January 2009
These "Vice Academy" films are a strange animal: on the one hand, their completely childish, witless and unsophisticated humor will not amuse even the most undiscerning adults; on the other hand, their subject matter and their (very brief, not more than one minute per film) nudity means that they cannot be watched by little kids. This leaves you wondering what kind of audience they are aiming for, exactly. "Vice Academy 4" almost focuses more on the recurring characters of Miss Devonshire and the Commissioner (as they are preparing for their wedding) than the leading Vice Girls: this does not help much as these two characters are still as overacted and unfunny as they always were. The newcomer in the cast is Rebecca Rocheford, and she & Elizabeth Kaitan are the only bright spots of this movie: in fact Rocheford is so charming and beautiful that she almost threatens to steal the show from Kaitan.

I can't get enough of these blithely stupid flicks!

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm a definite fan of the "Vice Academy" series. Granted, these films are cheap, cheesy and unapologetically low-brow trash that are utterly bereft of any artistic merit. And that's precisely why I dig 'em so much. One doesn't watch a "Vice Academy" feature looking for profound insights concerning the human condition. Instead you watch these flicks strictly for fun. And that's okay by me, man.
Wicked insatiable green-haired nymphomaniac Malathian (broadly essayed with unrestrained hammy panache by Julia Parton) escapes from jail and goes on the rampage. Meanwhile the dippy Candy (the ever-adorable Elizabeth Kaitan) and eager Samantha (likable Rebecca Rocheford) help the persnickety Miss Thelma Louise Devonshire (delightfully played to uptight perfect by Jayne Hamil) with her upcoming marriage to the pompous police commissioner (the hilarious Jay Richardson). Writer/director Rick Sloane pours on the cheerful idiocy with his usual shameless abandon; this time we get suitably asinine jokes about such always uproarious subjects as electrocution, elderly strippers, and women beating up men. Steve Bigharat's bright cinematography makes this picture look more polished than previous entries. That awesomely cool-wailing theme song "Pistol Whipped" and Alan DerMardesian's hard-groovin' score hit the funky bull's eye. The cast portray their parts with tremendous go-for-it enthusiasm: Kaitan and Rocheford display a pleasant chemistry, Steve Mateo is engaging as studly lunkhead mechanic Anvil, and Chad Gabbert nerds it up something dweeby as the commissioner's geeky sci-fi fan son Irwin. The disastrous climactic wedding ceremony rates as a genuine tour-de-force of classical farce at its most brilliant and sophisticated. Better yet, both Parton and Kaitan expose their exquisitely enormous breasts. All in all, it's another radiant comedic gem.

No, no, no....something is wrong.
KarlMaldensNose25 May 2001
If this garbage can presently score 6.5 on the IMDb scale then there is something dreadfully wrong. It would be lucky to get nought! It stinks!!! There is not one sole redeeming factor to this pile of space wasting dross. Despicably bad acting is the least of it's worries. What few potentially humorous lines are lightly strewn throughout this mess are butchered by a mixture of the player's complete lack of comedic timing along with amateurish editing. Several years ago I wrote an IMDb review for another film which I claimed was the worst ever made. I was wrong, This Is! It would be immeasurably improved only by the addition of the absent pornography that inhabits the 70's flicks with which it shares it's qualitative style. No, I sell them short, some of them were better, and funnier. Films such as this can be and sometimes are little gems. This is and should be abhorrent to the sensitivities of any right-thinking person. If Rick Sloane attempts to make yet another sequel in this series, I suggest we concerned citizens hunt the monster down and destroy him.
An Honest Review
generationofswine25 June 2020
Breasts. Generally when you see a movie like this, you know that the basic story is going to be about breasts. This one isn't, this is more about undies. It's almost like this was a movie made like the movies that are made about breasts, but with a different fetish... undies.
However, it does have horrible acting. And when you sit down for these movies and the acting is good it almost makes you do a double take. And it does have male characters that look like they came out of the adult industry wearing costumes that don't seem to fit right and in a manner that you would never, ever, see a police officer wear his uniform... almost as if they were in the adult industry, so there is that too.
And the acting is over-the-top, which is another trope. The special effects are, well, they pretty much aren't there. And the lighting comes out at you like it was done by a guy that took Studio Lighting 101 and passed it with a participation trophy.
"And the plot?" Come on, are you really asking that, of course there isn't much of a plot, and of course no one is actually watching this for a story. These movies are watched for campy fun and a plot would take away from the camp.
So.... it hits it's marks. You aren't going to laugh with it, you're going to laugh at it, and that is what these movies are made to do.
Mission success.
