Police Academy Movie Description:
When the mayor of a crime-ridden city loosens the restrictions on entering the police academy in order to get more cops on the street, all manner of oddball characters enlist to join the force. Among the cadets are suave Carey Mahoney (Steve Guttenberg), hulking Moses Hightower (Bubba Smith), beautiful Karen Thompson (Kim Cattrall) and sound effects-generating Larvell Jones (Michael Winslow), who all have to show initiative and courage when they are faced with tough situations out on patrol.
Police Academy is a 1984 American comedy film directed by Hugh Wilson in his directorial debut, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Its storyline follows a new recruitment policy for an unnamed city's police academy to take in any recruit who wishes to apply and study to become a police officer. The film stars Steve Guttenberg, Kim Cattrall, and G.W. Bailey.
The film was produced by The Ladd Company. It premiered on March 23, 1984. It grossed $8.5 million in its opening weekend and more than $149 million worldwide, against a budget of $4.5 million, and remains the most successful film of the series as of 2022. The film spawned six sequels in the Police Academy franchise.

Fun Fact, the tall guy who pushes down the wall in the training sequence was Bubba Smith, who did play in the NFL. He played for the Baltimore Colts in 1967, The Raiders in 1973, The Houston Oilers in 1975, and The Michigan State Spartans in 1964.

[@MrRezRising]

I thought I missed him finding that out. Oh, the irony!😂

[@keithharrissuwignjo2460]

Wasn't he Al Bundy's rival when he scored that one touchdown?

I STRONGLY recommend police academy 2 and 3, i like to this they are even better than the first and have the wonderful Bobcat Goldthwait

[@09corey1981]

Absolutely, they are a MUST! Lmao

[@champagnebulge1]

4 was my favorite as a kid, with the skateboarders that include young David Spade!

[@Bucslife31]

I'm going to have to say citizens on patrol is the most hilarious movies from this franchise

[@JasonGilbert-yl8hf]

Agreed!

[@elizabethlynch6544]

I agree

[@Daveyboy100880]

The podium scene is the highlight of the whole Police Academy series! Marion Ramsey (Hooks) said in later interviews that she was proud of this movie because it was one of the first times in movies that you saw a black man standing up for a black woman in the face of racism, when Hightower flips the car after Dopeland uses a racial epithet. The 80s was an odd transition time, when movies would use racism as a gag and show some progressive attitudes at the same time.

[@voidseeker4394]

They acknowledged that racism exists and is actually widespread. And also clearly showed that it is not ok (only villains of the story are racists).

[@kingscorpion7346]

the first 2 Police Acadamy movies are the best. the second one introduced comedian Bob Goldthwait (aka Bobcat) who started appearing in additional movies through the 80's and early 90's. for my 30th birthday in 1994 my mom took my wife and I to see him live on stage at a local comedy club... the first 5 minutes into his act I thought I was going to have a heart attack I was laughing so hard!

[@The-Rguy]

I'm so glad you're watching it. My grandma and mom watched these movies with me all the time as a kid. Even to this day, you do the blue oyster theme around us, we laugh hard, and join in. As for my favorite, it's a tie of 3,4, and 5

[@garavonhoiwkenzoiber]

11:20 the military/gun nut is the only one that doesn't duck, because he knows the shotgun hasn't racked another round yet, nice touch there :D

[@TheObscureRambler]

That subtle head-shake, too, when everyone else ducks, terrified. "Amateurs." Eugene Tackleberry for the win!

[@clarissa182]

I am so happy you watched Police Academy. I LOVE this movie. It is too dang funny. It was one of my favorites as a kid and still just as hilarious as an adult.

[@BeboRulz]

Bubba Smith (Hightower) was a defensive end on the Colts, Raiders, and Oilers. Always loved seeing him on screen 💜

[@johankaewberg8162]

Is it him in the tv series also? He is so high there that his face is never seen.

[@danielg6566]

I love Michael Winslow in this movie. Actually in all the movies. His parts often have nothing to do with the plot but they're my favorite parts!

[@mcgilj1]

I highly highly recommend sticking with the Mahoney (Steve Guttenberg) era, which is 1-4. Most of the main cast stayed through the entire series though. But there was a steep fall off after 4 that never quite recovered. 1 ,4, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7. The first film was the only one that was rated R. The second film which introduces several new characters recurring in later movies like Mauser, Zed, Sweechuck and Proctor. If you want to watch them. I'd suggest them in order and stopping at 4 (Citizens on Patrol).

[@RandomNonsense1985]

TIL there were 7 Police Academy movies.

[@michaelsk77]

The guy playing Hightower was in the NFL. He used to play for the Baltimore Colts. He also played for the Los Angeles Raiders and the Houston Oilers.

[@TheCoreyd1086]

Definitely do police academy 2,3,4,5,and 6. That was a Pontiac Trans AM. Also the guy yelling at Hightower after hitting the back of his car was the director of the movie

[@iamdadescott]

He was in the NFL. That's former player Bubba Smith!!

[@nikkiofsapphires9582]

My father loved this movie. He got me into the movie series. I love Michael Windlow, he is amazing with his lip performance. I also love G.W. Bailey's personality, he still has that sarcasm in the Closer and Major Crimes tv series.

[@KayoMichiels]

Tackleberry doesn't jump away when Leslie Barbara aimed the shotgun at the other cadets and him.. because he knew the chamber wasn't loaded...

[@Vegeta900X]

The actress you though you recognized was Kim Cattrall (most famous as Samantha in Sex and the City). She was in many comedies at the time like porkys and more.

Great reaction! 😊 The first 4 movies are my favorites of the "Police Academy" movie series. 5 and 6 are watchable, but not as great as 1 - 4. Hope that you continue on with this series. At least with 2 - 4. Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊

[@RyanWehr]

That tango scene at the oyster bar 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jasonthompson1604]

As an 80s kid im loving this reaction. Bringing in the nostalgia

[@MrRezRising]

Man, what a throwback! Great reaction! I was 13 and saw this in the theater in nyc in 1984. I forgot how damn funny it was. Yeah, it _is_ like a buncha snl sketches, but so what, like that hasn't been gold before. See PA2 asap!

[@okumabear]

Love the original and the series as a whole, but my favorite by far is Part 4:Citizens On Patrol.

[@johntaylor7029]

So in answer to your question about shaving when going into the military, there's a couple answers. Some of who are that it creates a uniform look amongst recruits and sort of equalizing them. A shaved head requires less care. Also, a shaved head fits in a helmet and other protective gear easier. Another is it's a way to combat potential lice infestations.

[@orlandoruizjr3834]

Police Academy movies were a huge part of my childhood. I like the original, but I love the sequels. My cousins and I loved to watch parts 4 and 5 over and over again. I can't say anything about the 6th one because I never saw it. I do hope you watch part 2 next. Each one gets funnier than the last.

[@darkmex25]

Hightower was played by Charles "Bubba" Smith who played professional football in the NFL across three teams and then retired to take up acting.

[@MikeMcD-sm2ds]

I love how you superimposed your image during the podium scene, that was AWESOME!!!!!

[@RobwLPOC]

That is hilarious that you said Hightower should be playing football or basketball or something. He's not in the Hall of Fame but he was a very well known NFL football player= Bubba Smith, DT, Michigan State 1967-71 Baltimore Colts 1973-74 Oakland Raiders 1975-76 Houston Oilers (nine total playing seasons) 111 career games All-Pro: 1 year All Conference: 2 years Pro Bowls: 2

him and Al Bundy had an amazing rivalry.

[@TayannaStudios]

"I'm Gonna Be Somebody" is a GREAT, feel-good tune!

[@thejamppa]

You never see Hightiwer (Bubba Smith ) run in these films. He got his knees busted in his NFL career, so they made him knock the wall down or something like that show of force instead running. Its kinda running gag how strong Hightower is. He is also one of my fave characters with Tackleberry (David Graf)

[@Do0msday]

I used to watch this all the time as a kid. The first 2 are great. Some of the other sequels were ok -- not great, but entertaining enough. Although I never understood those podium scenes when I was a kid and I'm certain my parents had seen the movie, but somehow still let me watch anyway. 80's movies were on another level haha.

[@PuppetDungeon]

Knew you'd love this. Each film is great in it's own way... this one because they spend so much time getting to know them as underdogs. As for my favorites after this one, I'd have to say it goes pretty much in order. Can't wait for you to see more. Great reaction!

[@robertbroughton1443]

You missed one of the funnier parts. The "FACESMASH" of cadet Copeland. While Mahoney, and Barbara were emptying their trays, Banks, and Copeland approached Mahoney to antagonize him, and Copeland grabbed some mashed potatoes and told Mahoney what he was going to do. He got to ON YOU MARK, GET SET, and before he got to GO, Barbara swung his tray, and face planted it in Copeland's face.

[@d-repaslp.]

Blue Oyster Bar !!!!!🤣 Dancing Just Dancing!

This is a core memory watching this movie as a kid. Some family friends had the first three and let me borrow them and I instantly loved these they were do funny. But ur reaction to the podium scene had me dyinnn🤣🤣

[@texasdustfart]

Nice that you knew Winslow was before watching this movie.

[@tb4744]

Hightower was played by Bubba Smith who played in the NFL

[@UltimateGamerCC]

my favorite Police Academy is a tie between the 4th and 5th films, the 4th one has a lot of extra players, like Bobcat Goldthwait and Randall Tex Cobb, whom the latter was in a TON of movies. then the 5th movie was the Beach episode of the series.

[@jstanley3187]

My wife and I saw Micheal "Jones" Winslow live on stage in Kansas City. We actually met him after the show and he is one of the nicest, friendliest people you could ever meet. I told him how I grew up on the Police Academy movies and he talked with us for about 10 minutes.

[@RandomNonsense1985]

The white female recruit is Kim Cattrall, who was also in Sex and the City, and played Lt. Valeris in Star Trek 6. Rumor is that she posed for some nude pics on the Star Trek set wearing pointed Vulcan ears, and actor/producer Leonard Nimoy ordered the pictures to be destroyed.

[@migiplayz91]

I think you're going to enjoy the whole series (except 7) its a well worth series to watch.

[@andreshernandez1180]

16:51 The driver who gets angry after Hightower hits his car is Hugh Wilson, the movie´s director.

[@jrobertlysaght]

"That dude should be in the NFL..." Yeah, funny you should say that

Depending on the properties. Also, if it is a federal or state property. Security can use firearms as long as they take the proper training and get the proper paperwork.

Aw brings back memories of watching these movies with my Gran. Don't remember this one the 2nd,and 3rd I think .Big congratulations on getting to 201k Subscriber's . Your hard work and consistency for the last year all paying off. And with your cheeky charm goes without saying . Sending lots of love. Until tge next one ❤

[@TheNorthlander]

All these movies are great in my opinion, they're just fun, and any minute with Michael Winslow is the best.

[@KaiyaAquamarine]

I know it may not be as popular of a movie - but I think it gives the same weird but funny vibes as Police academy; is the movie Mannequin. As for the rankings of the police academy academy movies; I have to put the first one in the top spot. Just so nostalgic.

[@WaTahBasTard]

Random funny thought 🤣 💭 Maybe Mahoney got the daisy dukes and "One in the oven" shirt from the guys at the blue oyster bar? 😂 My theory is he usd to work there as a bartender so he friends friends with some of the bar's patrons 🤣😂😂

[@TheNextStep851]

Always good to see a new Police Academy reaction. Hope you do a reaction to the 2nd one, it's a great sequel.

[@Vohaul86]

Seen Michael Winslow on his tour once, and he was truly phenomenal (favorite being him dubbing sound effects from Star Wars). Also George Gaynes who played Lassard was born here in Finland in 1917, just before we got our independence from Russia. I'd also have to say I do have a soft spot for Lt. Harris; he's just so fun antagonist, and constantly great from movie to movie.

[@MrMerkzz]

One of my favourite movies growing up, the second and third are just as good!

It has been a requirement for so long that it is both a rite of passage and a tradition. Short hair has become the norm for almost all services for ease of uniformity, convenience, and safety. While regulations slowly adapt and stay, the induction haircut has become a timeless part of many military traditions.

[@bernie472]

The guy that Hightower hits in the back of the guys car, was the Director Hugh Wilson who gets out of the car to confront Hightower,

[@chrisbell9075]

They get to being like how you imagined them to be, Mello, full of more practical jokes & chaos, as they go along, at least they do in 2, 3 & 4. After that, they drop off. But the first 4 are definitely the best of the series. I personally felt like they were still finding their footing in the first one. But once Proctor & Zed & Sweetchuck & some of the other characters join the current cast starting with the very next sequel & are no longer rookies anymore (Lt. Harris will leave & be replaced by this guy named Mauser, but Harris will then return for the remainder of the series, btw), then I think you would really start to enjoy them a little more. I myself grew up having seen the 3rd & 4th films more than the others, so the 4th film in which they train local citizens is one of my personal favorites. Give it a couple more films & I think you will see why people love this franchise even more..

The big guy that played Hightower actually was in the NFL in real life in his earlier years, but then took up acting. RIP to Bubba Smith (his real name)

[@bidwell13]

6:24 skin color plus he figures they’ll do whatever he wants them to do no questions asked. 7:12 because he wants them to fail out or quit. 10:51 that was the style back then. Over the years guys shorts got longer and girls got skimpier. 19:53 that’s where he was prior to joining the academy. 20:16 that’s how a lot of stuff happens. The cadet changed clothes so they wouldn’t see him as a cop. 21:24 love how Lassard had to think for a moment before saying whether to fire. 22:47 it’s funny how Tackleberry acts after the riot. He really wanted to shoot a gun. I’m betting he failed joining the military.

[@Koldeman]

Whenever I'm asked what my favorite movie is, my immediate reply is "Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol." Everyone knows I'm a film aficionado & even took a couple of years in film school. I can quote lines from some of the most obscure movies & have encyclopedic recall of release years & cast/crew. I grew up with a hearty intake of Steven Spielberg & and George Lucas' films. My admiration for filmmaking goes from Coppola to Tarantino & everyone in between. I have an unquestionable love of sci-fi, fantasy, & adventure epics. That being said, my answer of PA:4 is my favorite movie is usually taken as a joke. But the funny thing is, I think it might really be so. I had that thing on VHS & wore out the tape.

[@johankaewberg8162]

It is silly and stupid. But also funny :-) Love Mr sound effect guy, Hightower, Tackleberry. Do also watch (the extremely shortlived) TV series.

[@johankaewberg8162]

"Why does he have a gun?" is something people have probably been asking about Tackleberry since he was in kindergarten.

[@danelicker317]

Notice how Tackleberry doesn't duck out of the way when the sloppy shooter turns his gun towards them. It's because he's a gun expert, and he knows that gun can't be fired again without being pumped. Always liked that part.
