Following the trend of raunchy direct-to-video sex comedies popularized in the early to mid 80s, director Rick Sloane (Hobgoblins) decided to take his own stab at the sub-genre, creating the surprise hit franchise VICE ACADEMY in 1989. Featuring the comedic exploits of undercover female vice cops who go head-to-head with everything from smut film producers to arch villainesses with plans for sexual world domination, each film mixes T&A with broad slapstick humor and hijinks.
Starring iconic scream queen Linnea Quigley (Night of the Demons) and erotic film legend Ginger Lynn Allen (Trashy Lady), the VICE ACADEMY series was a staple of late-night TV throughout the early to mid 90s. Known for their absurd plot lines and surprisingly robust and colorful visuals, Vinegar Syndrome Archive presents VICE ACADEMY 1-3 all newly restored in 2K from their original 35mm camera negatives and together in one handy collection.

Woof
"Not good comedies, not good cop movies, not good for beatin' the meat. But if you're into garbage, then you get it three times here."

USA Up All Night Classics
"Absolutely lovely ladies in the most ridiculous over the top police comedies. Take Police Academy, make it way, way dumber, and cast way, way hotter actresses. . . and you get these RIck Sloane classics. Yes, the same man who brought us Hobgoblins (Rake Fight!). He can truly do no wrong."
— Jeffrey P. (5/5)
