Since Guttenbergs Police Academy checks kept clearing, he starred in Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol co-starring Sharon Stone.
Its easy to look back and criticize Guttenberg for appearing in 4 Police Academy movies. They were obviously crap. But audiences loved them and they provided Guttenberg with steady work for four straight years. Decades later, these are the films he is still best known for.
Police Academy 4 was Guttenbergs last film in the franchise. With hits like Cocoon and Short Circuit, he no longer needed the safety net they provided.

When the Allan Quatermain films flopped in back-to-back years, Stone went back to paying her dues. But at least she was paying her dues on the big screen. In 1987, she appeared in Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol.
I know what you are thinking. Police Academy 4? Really? Is that any better than Silver Spoons or TJ Hooker?
Well, before you get too judgmental, Police Academy 4 was the last film in the series to feature Steve Guttenberg. If its good enough for the Gute, we shouldn't be turning our noses up at it. Im sure we can all agree that the series didn't fully come off the rails until Police Academy 5: Even the Gute Said No.
