Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach
A ragtag squad of bumbling cops heads to Miami Beach to honor their retiring commandant, only to find themselves tangled in a high‑stakes jewel heist that forces them to protect the priceless diamonds and keep chaos from ruining the celebration.
“Hold everything! The cadets are dropping in on Miami Beach for an all new adventure.”
Synopsis
The misfit members of the Police Academy travel to Miami Beach for Commandant Lassard to receive a prestigious lifetime award in anticipation of his retirement. The situation changes when Lassard unknowingly comes into possession of diamonds stolen in a recent jewel heist.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 50+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.4× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
