10 Worst Reviewed Films That Still Made Money

The Police Academy series of films is one of the best known and longest running spoof film series of recent memory. As with most efforts that wander down the path of endless sequels, reboots and spinoffs, there is always going to be a drop off in quality but as long as the audience is happy to pay to see it, they will continue to be made.

The fourth of an eventual seven films, Police Academy 4 - Citizens on Patrol garnered the ire of critics for being the same old tired tropes trotted out for cheap laughs, half-baked gags and low-effort comedy.

It won a Golden Raspberry (the infamous satirical award that is meant to be the opposite of an Oscar) for one of its songs, was the last instalment to feature Steve Guttenberg, took the already paper-thin plot of its predecessors and stretched it further... but still turned a profit of nearly $60 million dollars.

Despite being the critical low-light of a series that has never fared particularly well in these stakes, it easily surpassed the profit of the first entry and ensured, for better or for worse, that further sequels were on the horizon.
