Primary
The film is a lighthearted slapstick comedy centered on bumbling police officers catching jewel thieves. Its primary focus on apolitical humor and a generic 'good triumphs over evil' narrative, without engaging in deeper societal critiques or endorsements, places it firmly in the neutral category.
The movie features a visibly diverse ensemble cast, a characteristic of the Police Academy series, but does not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative is a lighthearted comedy that avoids critical portrayals of traditional identities or explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Police Academy 5: Assignment: Miami Beach does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative and humor focus on other elements, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the film.
Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's narrative is centered on comedic police antics and a crime plot, with no content related to transsexual identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This film is a direct sequel in an established series. All returning characters maintain their original gender, and new characters introduced are not gender-swapped versions of previously established figures. Therefore, no gender swaps occur.
