Behind Academy Doors - Secret Files Revealed: Police Academy 1 Documentary Part 1

[@MrDash03]

GW Bailey was a perfect choice for Harris. He’s such a cool dude to play a character who’s not really a villain, he’s more like a neutral.

[@georgepapoulias3562]

Agreed. Loved Captain Harris. He was also funny in Burglar and Mannequin.

RIP Bubba Smith, Marion Ramsey, George Gaynes, David Graf, George R. Robertson, Andrew Rubin, and Art Metrano. You all will always be remembered and are missed.

Police Academy was one of the stupidest series ever released in movie history, but it still worked, never boring and entertaining it always worked! Rest in peace to all those fine actors that made it!

Couldn't of got a more perfect cast than this. Couldn't of been better. Love them all.

[@Bounty_Hunter84]

For a comedy the casting was perfect. Was out the year I was born 1984. Have watched all the movies and love em all. GW Bailey as harris is excellent. The movies he is not in you would miss him. The rest of the cast were 10/10.

[@frankskinner867]

Another fun fact, Bailey and Guttenberg were also in Short Circuit together, both of them fighting, arguing and at odds with each other just like in PA. Bailey was also a hot tempered prick in SC, typical hard ass officer/commander type 😅

I love George Gaynes in this movie, before that I only knew him as Uncle Henry on Punky Brewster.

[@jamesclinesr2511]

What a great actor G.W Bailey was

[@jhdigital]

Still is

[@SimoExMachina2]

George Gaynes was every bit as a comedy giant as Leslie Nielsen. Change my mind.

[@jondstewart]

He did better as Punky Brewster’s grumpy elderly dad than anything else!

[@Watcher3223]

I can't, nor will I try. I can only imagine, however, what kind of comedy we would have had with Leslie Nielsen and George Gaynes as co-stars...

[@brexitannia9703]

It's one of the funniest films I watched as a teenager even my dad laughed at it and he was in his late 70s with a dry sense of humour he was giggling away it was comady gold. Unfortunately they made to many but the first one was brilliant 👏👌🏻

[@LokoJoe6]

Damn, i didn't know about this documental, I'll watch it now, i love Police Academy so much dude ❤

[@sjohnson9536]

Cpt/Lt. Harris is one of the best characters of the entire series.

[@georgepapoulias3562]

Probably my favorite one in the entire franchise.

[@johnkennethwiseman5460]

I have to be honest, Harris was way better than Mouser

Holy shit! Where are these from? I had no idea there were any interviews or documentaries on the films. I was a massive Police Academy fan growing up, and I watched them all again recently, so this is like finding gold! So nice to see that they are all really friendly with each other, and what a delight seeing lovely George Gaines and Bubba Smith.

To This day police academy and the series still as today a great comdey adventures

[@kisfekete]

This movie and its follow-ups did more to tear down the Iron Curtain than the entire space weapons program. In Eastern Europe, whoever had a VHS player also had a bootleg Police Academy tape.

[@christopherygell241]

I watch it from time to time and I always have a great time and mention great actors those who are alive and those who have already passed away, I will always miss these actors in such films. I warmly greet the creators of the film because they did something beyond time

[@jamespaluch3481]

Steve Guttenberg is 1 of my favorites

[@aidanmcgrath911]

He really was the best,but sadly we never found out why he left after the 4th film.

'Ugly' is the word you are politely skipping around.

[@jamesclinesr2511]

Lesley wow

[@jondstewart]

Ever notice the first one, and parts 3 and 4 look totally Toronto, but the second one was obviously L.A.? I know geography wasn’t a high point in the series and anonymity of the setting, but there’s a huge difference with those cities.

[@jondstewart]

G.W. Bailey has done such a great and hilarious job of playing grumpy and annoyed people, especially ones in authority. I don’t think he’s ever received the recognition he’s deserved. Yes, the Police Academy movies were very stupid and juvenile, but quite a few movies in the 80’s were like that and it worked unless uptight movie critics like Siskel and Ebert criticized them.

[@MsDisneylandlover]

We r the meanest instructions here lol
