Honestly, if I have to choose I rather not have another sequel of the academy, because sequel always disappointed me. Although Ron and Sammuel are main lead, their roles were not astounding as second leads. 1st academy: Michael Mui took the spotlight, 2nd Academy: Michael Tao and Sonja still the show, and 3rd Academy: Michael Tse still the audidence. I think they put Ron and Sammuel there just so it can be "The Academy" LOL wonder who will capture the audience's heart on the 4th one.;

Well TA4 is going to have TaRo in it which should make it more interesting, and EU was great too. OTFB is really the only one which didn't do so well.

I also hope that the 4th installment they finally give TaRo the happy ending they deserve. I think Ron really should end up with Tavia if she come back. No point in breaking Tavia's heart one more time if they don't end up. I still think Ron's best chemsitry go to them.

I am actually very interested in Sammuel and his wife's character. I feel bad for the actress more then the character I guess since everyone is judging her first serie pretty hard, but with a second chance I hope she do even better.. although I hate how TVB does that divorce? Gosh then Sammuel meet another will he end up with his Wife again? I could already see like perhaps they end up and the other girl leave causing some audience to say why? But then if he ends up with the new girl, then some people would leave with a Taro type feeling where Ron and Tavia didn't end up in On the First beat... But lets see how the script really turns out.

I can't wait to see when this start filming and all.

I am also looking forward to TA4, I hope Ron end up with Tavia and Sammul end up with Ka Ki.

Like you guys I hate all the switching female characters in the serie. If Tavia comes back she better end up with Ron, I think the only reason she wasn't able to end up with Ron in the 2nd one was because well Tavia had to film moonlight r. or something and so Tavia can only do a cameo. If she have time this time I think she and Ron after going through all they did they should end up together... It was pretty rediculous how Ron picked Joey but less then a year later in TA4 she gets married with someone else?

As for Sammul I started liking Sammul and Ka Ki since they met in TA4, especially after they got married. Furthermore, the scriptwriter already made it so Ka Ki survived to be with Sammul and not die off like his other close people. If just because she lost her memory they divorce I will feel bad for Sammul because he will felt guilty again even though it wasn't his fault, but I will feel even more sad for Ka ki if she remember him and he starts to like someone else, that is too cliche and sad. lol and it would ruin my perfect image of Sammul's character, he is so ideal giving him another girl will make him look like a player.

I also wonder what is the big case they are going to solve for this serie. TA got better and better, I hope TA4 does even better!

Is the plot for this confirmed?

For them to bring back Tavia is already pretty surprising, but it's nice that they haven't completely gotten rid of her. Aw, Pak-Kiu and Yeuk Bo will divorce? I never really liked this pairing, but I don't want Pak-Kiu to lose his love again! I want him to be happy instead of a 'black charm' again.

even though i dont know whether the 4th one will be filmed or not even though the plot is confirmed to be false....
i think that they should bring back tavia because she wasnt in it for the 2nd and 3rd sequel
in the 2nd sequel, tavia was busy filming heart of greed thus only having a cameo while in the third sequel, she was busy filming moonlight and having a bigger role too... so she cant acept the role for EU
so i think that they should bring back tavia for the 4th sequel since there is no more heart or moonlight in the way

Here is the article regarding the Academy IV...

It seems Pierre Ngo will be the main antagonist for the sequel next year!!!! And the article explained that it is the continuation of the Laughing Gor movie. WHOA!!! It's amazing!!!

OMG, man Ron and Sammul must have a lot of parts. Michael and Pierre will definitely capture attention.

If that i true, I think I will have to definitely watch laughing gor movie!

Wow!!!That's great if it is true.
I haven watch Laughing Gor movie yet.
Will going to watch it.

i wonder who the other cast are
wonder if tavia will come back or not and since ron and sammul will be filming in a new character so tavia can appear as a new character too

So, a Part IV is for real?
Pierre's gonna be a villian. Sigh. Quite sick of him acting in the same roles. They should give him different roles for a change.

Rumors for "The Academy 4"? TVB reveals production plans & plot
(( [WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS to film "TURNING POINT] ))

Following the hit TVB series "E.U", the prequel "Laughing Gor Turning Point" film was created especially for Laughing Gor and has done very well in the box office. There is news that TVB has intentions of making "The Academy 4" bringing back Michael Tse's role Laughing Gor from the dead and allowing him back into the Police Force. Laughing Gor, now "Laughing Sir" will lead Chung Lap Man (Ron Ng) and Lee Pak Kui (Sammul Chan) to battle the Triad. According to sources, the series will continue on with the plot of "Turning Point". Francis Ng's role in the film will be replaced by Pierre Ngo as the series' main villain. However, TVB told the Media that the plan to film "The Academy 4" is not confirmed at all yet.

[Rumor] Laughing Gor comes back and plotted against for murder

Earlier TVB broadcasted a small clip to bring Laughing Gor back and it has been a hot topic in the entire city. TVB executive producer Tommy Leung and the Producer for the last three "The Academy" series Wong Wai Sing expressed that there is a possibility of a part 4 installment.

The biggest villain in the proposed series will be played by Pierre Ngo. In the film, after the last biggest duel before the film ended, it was not clarified about the whereabouts of Pierre Ngo's role. Also, his screen time in the film was not much, he didn't even have a name, we only know that he's a gang member under the leader Francis Ng. It was said that in "The Academy 4", he will come back for revenge, going after Laughing Gor. This TVB artist, Pierre Ngo made a breakthrough with his villain role as the "Big Young Master" - Chiang Bit Man , in "Rosy Business". His popularity has rise and this time he gets another opportunity to develop his skills as the "villain" in the fourth installment of "The Academy". Pierre accepted an interview through the phone and revealed that TVB has already contacted him about this, but "did not receive an official notification to do this series."

Also, in the film "Turning Point" it was never clarified if Tracy Ip, Felix Wong and Yuen Biu died or not. It was said that Tracy was identified, in the film she was the lawyer who represents the Triad, but in the new series, she will play as Pierre's assistant for their revenge. In the film, Felix played a major role as the senior police officer, in the series he will continue to play this role, sounds reasonable.

[Verify] Wait until end of 2009 for the final decision

TVB Foreign Affairs Director Peter Tsang accepted an interview from the press and expressed that "The Academy 4" is not official yet, but the Producer Wong Wai Sing already suggested to TVB for plans to shoot another police drama: "there is a possibility that we will use the original cast members from the series, but it will not necessarily be titled 'The Academy 4'"

Reporters contacted Sammul Chan for clarification, his manager Ivy expressed that they have not received any news about it. "Sammul recently attended the costume fitting for his new series "Comeback Family" (翻叮一族). I don't know when 'The Academy" will be arranged." As for "E.U" main female lead YAU YAU, Elanne Kong expressed that she does not know about a part 4 installment, but she expressed that she is currently recording for her new songs, probably will need 1-2 months for that. From all the sources, it seems like "The Academy 4" will probably happen, may need to wait until the end of the year before we know for sure.

It will be awesome if this is confirmed!! Laughing to be the main lead is going to be so cool! Adding Pierre Ngo and Felix Wong in it is a superb idea!!

i wonder when will this start filming, according to the record of the last three, this should start its filming process next year since it is aired every two years making this year the 6th year of the academy franchise...
i wish to see this onscreen in mid 2011

lol wow there's gonna be another one?! a bit surprised! possibly looking forward to it.

haih...so many rumours on the sequel...hope they will bring back tavia if it's true...looking forward for it !

wat the heck?? Tavia is so much better than Elanne. Ron first love. I bet if the story above really is the storyline of the academy VI, Elanne will have some problem with the TaRo fan LOL like me!

I agree except one thing even though tavia was rons first love i think during the end of E.U ron said Elanne was the first girl he really loved? or something like that but i rather have taro though
