I love when Barbara turns around with the shotgun on the shooting course, everyone freaks out and ducks, but not Tackleberry..... He knows that shotgun hasn't been cocked after firing, he's knows there's no threat. Tackleberry knows his guns.

"To me, marriage is a sacred institution. So tell me, you and the wife do it doggie-style, or what?" First Police Academy movie pretty much just introduces the characters, next 3 sequels play with those characters (and a few newcomers) very well, which I hope you guys react to. Also, RIP Bubba Smith aka Hughtower, Marion Ramsay aka Hooks, David Graf aka Tackleberry and George Gaines aka Eric Lassard.

Hightower is the great Charles “Bubba” Smith: Played at Michigan State and was the no.1 NFL draft pick by the Baltimore Colts in 1967. His position was defensive end. He still remains the only Michigan player picked first, iirc. Played in Superbowl III and V with the Colts, winning Superbowl V. He went on to play 9 seasons in total for the Colts, Raiders, and the Houston Oilers.

Lassard is so very, very, very precious and best character in series.

[@marybethgoeggel4658]

My favorite tidbit about this movie was that the sound engineer was used to upping the sound sensitivity on the mikes when Hooks was talking. Well, when they get to the stairwell scene, he pre-set the increased sensitivity - then just about got his ears blown off with ‘Don’t Move, DIRTBAG!!!’ 😅

[@LunarisArts]

Oh, I absolutely LOVE Lassard. Kind, fair, adorably scatterbrained and oblivious, yet surprisingly sharp.

[@S.Parrow]

the "Blue Oyster Club" was filmed in an old blues bar called The Silver Dollar Room in Toronto. I used to live down the street from it and it was impossible to go by it without whistling that song they were dancing to.

YES!!!! This movie is tailor made for a Mr. Video reaction. Me and my buddy had to lie about our age to get into this at the theater. It holds up very well today. Hugh Wilson, the director, was also the creator of the classic sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. There are some good interviews with him on KZbin about that show. He’s fun to listen to - harkens back to a time before entertainment became fully corporatized.

[@electronash]

Respect to the actor who played Lassard, btw (George Gaynes). It's difficult to imagine anyone else playing that character. He was hilarious, and his comic delivery was always spot-on. He passed in 2016. :( A lot of the other main actors from this movie series have also passed now, sadly. Quite a few before their time. Bubba Smith (Hightower) (1945-2011), David Graf (Tackleberry) (1950-2001), Marion Ramsey (Hooks) (1947-2021). Sorry to put a downer on it. lol

Underrated from an acting perspective, everyone was so great it was hard to say who was funnier or more genuine. And I will say the lack of gratuitous nudity in modern films bugs me. These were supposed to be escapes into a fantasy world, only a real tight ass took them seriously. Guaranteed the entire cast and crew were dying laughing each take!

[@jayeisenhardt1337]

"the lack of gratuitous nudity in modern films bugs me" I'm thinking of, what was it, the superbowl wardrobe malfunction? People these days acting like 27:55 over a titty. Movie ain't bad and rated R right? So like you I'm wondering where the problem is. Also I never saw that malfunction so just assume it was a planned publicity stunt.

[@GruffyddFO4]

George Gaynes was an unappreciated comedic genius. His timing was always perfect, and he made his inept yet caring Commandant Lassard so likeable. His brilliant delivery during the podium scene is probably the highlight of the movie. You should definitely see the rest of the ones with Steve Guttenberg in them. They're variable in quality, but all fun. I think you'll enjoy them. After Guttenberg left the quality started going downhill dramatically. On the plus side, it gave some decent paychecks to actors who were regulars of the series who weren't getting many jobs elsewhere. Another comedy from this time period that I think you'd really like, that NOBODY reacts to, is the early Tom Hanks comedy "Bachelor Party". You should definitely check it out.

[@michaelcunningham2808]

Many years ago when I was in college a bunch of us watched this movie at our friend Jerry's apartment. Jerry had the reputation of being very well endowed and his last name just happened to be Johnson. When it got to the "They all have Johnsons" line everybody there turned and looked at ole Jerry and he got really embarrassed.

Your Pit in the intro: "But daaaaaaddddd I wanna be in the video to... See I'm a lap puppy..." I remember my Pit doing the same thing. Also, I was a cop. The whole Police Academy series made me laugh as a kid. After going through the Academy, I wish my experience had been like this. But noooo, my instructors were hardcore. Step out of a line at the academy; do PT. Tick off an instructor? You had 12 up your rear end until you corrected yourself. Obviously in my state most of us went through FTO (Field Training Officer) for almost a year before we went to the academy so you had better have yourself squared away before you went to the academy. I spent 6 months in FTO, several of which were on my own as a Patrolman Basic before heading to the Academy. 16 weeks at the academy with me driving 3 hours back to my city on Friday evening and then having to work my shift Saturday and Sunday then drive back to the academy Sunday evening and do it all over again Monday through Friday. I worked 7 days a week, 8 hours Saturday and Sunday, and 12 plus hours at the academy Monday through Friday with no days off. Graduated, and then returned to the PD and went through extended trainings, that then sent me back for a month to three months to get various certifications, plus extended training at the PD. It's not as easy being a cop as everyone thinks. I was also going to night school to get my BA in Criminal Justice while doing all this. Needless to say, it was nothing like the Police Academy movies, SWAT movie. Closer (minus the shootouts) is Third Watch. Want to see real Police work? Live PD (now called On Patrol Live on Reelz on Dish network). Cops only shows the "exciting" parts of law enforcement. Cops doesn't show the heart break of having to deal with a death. The mundane of traffic stops, paperwork, boredom waiting on calls or running radar on a city street or patrolling.... They never show the boring crappy parts of the job. Hope you see this comment brother. Hope it helps humanize the badge.
