This review contains an Implied Kitty Carnage Warning!
Synopsis: When the police force opens recruitment to all comers despite any physical or mental impediments all chaos breaks loose.
Kitty Cameo: Recruit hopeful Karen Thompson (Kim Cattrall) is riding to the Academy in a luxury car with her scolding mother (Joyce Gordon) who is holding an equally snobbish cream colored longhair tabby cat on her lap.
Implied Kitty Carnage Warning! Later in the film an old woman begs Officer Tackleberry (David Graf) to get her cat out of a tree. We never see the cat, but Tackleberry pulls out his gun and off screen we hear a shot and the cat screeching.
Final Mewsings: Tackleberry’s tactic proved to be a strong deterrent for cats wanting to climb trees.
Many thanks to Ela for letting us know about the cat in this film.
