[@sgtpepper1138]

Debralee Scott, who played Mrs Fackler also died in 2005. Very sad story, her fiancé died in the south tower in NYC and she started drinking.

[@almorgan68]

We cannot forget those who have passed away their comedy will live on

[@bonniebrown6960]

I never knew that Police Academy was filmed in Toronto . That's real cool !! I love filming locations !! Police Academy is a funny movie . An oldie , but goodie !! Every time I see Steven Guttenberg , he looks just my brother in law ( my sister's husband ) . Thank you Scott for sharing that with us !! I love it !!

[@elizabethsulliman]

So cool you met Steve Guttenberg. Aaahhhh!!! My dad watched all the police academy movies when it was vhs and then I got them for him on dvd. He laughed so hard...it was great!!

[@bigmanbreakfast]

This video means so much to me, thank you so much for taking the time to make it. I have such amazing memories of watching the Police Academy movies with my grandparents as child, both of them gone now. Those films are a huge part of my childhood.

[@markames3794]

Excellent video. Thank you

[@cindybednar6997]

Loved this movie, thanks for the memories. I’m one of those people from Etobicoke and we didn’t want to amalgamate with Toronto. Lol. The psychiatric hospital was my play ground growing up in the 1970’s being half a block away. We watched them film the scenes there and on Lakeshore. When I was young and my parents took me to Kensington Market you could smell the cheese out on the streets it was so strong. Later when I was older I remember going to all the clothing stores and introduced my children there too. Ty Scott.

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Thanks for sharing those memories Cindy!

[@brandysullivan3870]

Thank you for doing this video! The Police Academy movies are my favorite of all time. :-)

[@mikefitchNYC1971]

Love this exploration! Love the Police Academy series

[@pokes986]

Such an underrated movie series! PA3-COP was the best... but the first 4 are classic.

[@jessewickens1159]

Pokes 98 the jet ski action in that movie was awesome

[@fitz5487]

PA4 is COP. PA3 is Back in Training. Both are class but agree, number 3 is the best.

[@lateshamiller6302]

I miss these kinds of movies...I am a 1975 baby so I was like 9..in 84...I think your funny...Security!!! Lol I am glad u showed the IT house.

[@rodimus371]

Thanks for sharing , I love that movie !

[@Rafael_Yemane]

It's great that you recorded this classic movie location! Almost the entire film was shot in Canada, and I noticed a few scenes filmed in Chicago. I didn't even know it was filmed in Toronto until I found your KZbin channel. I wish they hadn't demolished those iconic movie locations for historical purposes so we could visit them yearly, but that's just my wish.

[@therealrobschroeder]

I enjoyed this tour so thanks

[@denischabriddell986]

Scott I loved seeing all the different filming locations. I am a huge fan of Police Academy and all the sequels. I think I was 10 when I saw number 1.

[@davidk8721]

I love it when Scott is home just way he gets the joy out of it say im home in Toronto ☺️ just warms my heart!

[@janadeubner9883]

I loved Police Academy! Such a funny film! I just love these film locations and you are doing a great job showing us around! I just found out last year that " Tackleberry" was from and is buried in Ohio. This is one of those movies that you can never tire of watching! Crazy funny movie!

[@mynameisvna]

This is a classic! I love watching movies like these! You did a great job!!

[@kristiernay5684]

😂You crushed that one Scott, had me laughing! I love how you give the little details and dig deep into the locations, keep up the good work captain!👨‍✈️

[@johnpatterson4272]

You got a 'cheers' from Steve Guttenberg, that's cool 80s shiznitz. Lots of Canadian born actors in this movie (including the many sequels made thereafter). I remember the Teskey Construction truck in the film. The Teskey company had a mansion on Jane St. north of Teston Side Rd. south of the King Rd. in the early 80s with their own stocked trout pond. It's long-gone now but I remember driving by it daily on my way to work at Canada's Wonderland. In those days Maple and King City still had their own municipal airports. Legend has it most of the Police Academy primary actors (original movie) flew in and out of those airports back-in-the-day. I parked my '77 Ford LTD in that very parking lot (by Roy Thompson Hall) going to see the premier of 'Stayin' Alive' in the spring of '83. Well said about Kensington Market in the 21st century. You will get no more 'real' action than with the TPS homie.

[@lorih2924]

I loved Police Academy movies. It was so funny. Thank you for showing us the filming locations

[@Fibr3Optix]

They filmed a few scenes behind my house. It was tacklberry forcing 2 little girls to drop their stolen ice cream cones.

[@theshape3988]

This is so awesome! I really appreciate you documenting these places. Bc in the future most of them will be gone. And atleast you are putting them in an archive. They deserve to be documented for history. Vulgar display of power is my favorite album

[@HiddenJackpots]

I loved that video! Being from Niagara I had no idea that Police Academy was filmed in Toronto.

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Yup! And greetings to Niagara ! Love it there!

[@marie-louises.4701]

Amazing!! Yes it is true many movies are filmed in Toronto. Love your video. I am born 1984. love from Sweden. Thank you so much Scott.

[@JoshNC78]

I love police academy 1-7 anyway it's Michael Winslow does all the noises n voices, I've met him in person, very nice guy, I get free tickets to his US-NC tour stops...love him

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

He’s so freaking talented. Love that guy awesome that you met him

[@ckdanekfan3397]

The movie was very underrated just like your video man. But real fans appreciate it. Good work bro.

[@SerenaTheFANurse]

Another, Great job on your video!!! Thank You. 👏🏼👍👏🏼

[@tripface78]

wow, awesome. steve guttenberg in the video. as a kid of the 80's these movies were awesome. haven't seem them in years. have to go watch them again.

[@TheSuperman559]

awesome video one of my all time favorite movies

[@evenkeel6131]

A bunch of Land of the Dead was shot around Cherry Street/Lakeshore right around where you were at.

[@TheRealBeepW2025]

Where the riot starts is at Dundas St West and High Park Ave..you can see the Buskett Bakery in the background..down the road a bit, we see at about the 1:15:00 mark, a thug goes to a pool hall and announces that there's a riot going on..that was Mimmo's Place at 2907 Dundas St W.the owner at the time, Dominic, is in this scene at the right playing pool with an old lady. The next street over to the east of that is Mavety Street so if you went down there and turn right at the laneway, that's where Barbara beat up his bullies, directly behind Mimmo's. If you go back up to Dundas St. W towards Dupont/Annette, you'll run into the old 5 Star Pizza at 2733 Dundas Street West. It's seen at the 1:18:24 mark as the cadets are being dispatched by Harris. You can still see the Italian flags on the front window to this day. My father lived in the top apartment there in the final years of his life. He died on Friday, April 13th, 2018, the same day I was in the area at the Revue cinema watching a screening of Friday, the 13th The Final Chapter. Anyways, thought I would share.

[@MarkPritchardGuitar]

Scott you deserve way more subscribers man, I only found this channel last week but I will share the shit out of it. Love your work mate. Mark from UK.

[@elizabethmckenna5397]

I actually met Steve Guttenberg outside of a Dunkin’ Donuts in Seaford, Long Island. Such a nice guy! Took the time to talk to me for a few minutes Loved him in Police Academy and also Cocoon

[@TexasChicano]

Very cool story

[@paulrolen6571]

Scott dude I've watched a lot of your videos not all of them. yet I didn't realize how funny you are bro you had me cracking up on this one. thank you good matchups as well.

[@thunderbird66613]

Back then Kim Cattrall was known for Porky's

[@rocket767]

o yeah loved Porkys I think it was filmed in the Florida everglades and Fort Lauderdale

[@lambjack1]

Good job as usual Scott

[@therealrobschroeder]

Ontario Police College = Police Academy

[@coldvoid]

Great research! :)

[@hectorlopez1069]

This movie rules.

[@inthinkable]

Only 50 seconds in, already laughing, another great job by Mr. Scott.

[@hectorlopez1069]

Everybody was so hilarious and funny in this.

[@vinnyrogers1499]

An intro with guttenberg!! Rock on!! This vid was a pleasant surprise this morning with my coffee and danish. Scene after scene in that movie is hilarious.I still own a vhs copy.A few fave scenes is of course the gymnasium hand to hand combat scene,tackleberry headbutting the car because''there was a firefight sir..and he missed it''...many times my friends and i would quote the ''dont moveee..dirtbag!!'' and of course winslow ''playing the video game in his dormroom'' and when so and so walks away you get the 'aaassshhhooollleeee''.

[@johnd2371]

Hi Scott. Thank you for another interesting video. I am happy that they restored the old Sanitorium on Lakeshore Blvd. I am a Humber College Grad! LOL. I've bought lots l retro clothing in Kensington Market...and even recorded at Kensington Sound! Keep up the good work!!!

[@brittanywaller4938]

Cool to see the lake from the Canadian side. I live near Lake Ontario in NY

[@mikegancarczyk419]

Good vid bud! 🍻

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Thanks Mark!

[@tausti]

When you went back to the academy, that was incredible! I'd love to go there!

[@adestickbaby]

Thank you for your time and effort. Michael Winslow signed my DVD cover with one 'M' only before realising the ink was beading and stopped. I bought shitty cheap pens. I am one of many who find this sort of thing interesting. I stay alone and live vicariously through movies and others. Ha

[@MrMikepresley]

Scott, you gotta vlog "King Of Kensington" locations

[@mr.nibbles2369]

Love the police academy movies, such classics

[@dannyharris5310]

Good job Scott

[@controlZchannel]

Humber College is used as a high school in the Netflix series Locke & Key. Immediately recognized it and had to Google it. I was correct. You happened to be standing exactly where they always film scenes of the kids coming and going

[@shawnoverton7625]

I love police academy all of them from shawn Overton.

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Me too Shawn!

[@stevebetker829]

Never would have guessed police academy and so many other movies were filmed in Toronto. So cool. By the way with your LAPD hat on you sure remind me of Joe Friday. You even sound like him. Hollywood should give you a call. Thanks for sharing in this tough time. Lord bless you.

[@Meng4Now]

I did my own PA 2 & 6 location tour in Los Angeles a few years ago. Great times.

[@albertam3715]

My family and I love the movie and they glad you did film locations of it they didn’t know it film in Toronto

[@billy3167]

Hey Scott you need to do another video there so many more locations part 2 please............................................

[@pielero70]

Great vid but would have loved to see the street and intersection where Lt. Harris and the horse 'met'.🤣🐴

[@l4taylor]

I’d have been thrilled if you’d found the lakeside location where they trained - including where Lassard and Harris talk just after Mahoney has tricked Harris with the boot polish on the mike

[@sandrahunter5749]

I grew up watching Police Academy movies and they are funny ! 😎

[@amyconway9923]

Awesome that movie is hilarious a classic.. u go scott

[@karenbavington1870]

I saw Police Academy long ago Scotty and just remember a few bits and pieces from the movie. Will have to watch it again. The locations and the whole environment there makes me want to go back to Toronto. I don’t think I went to Kensington market but did go to the Eaton Centre and Gerrard Street. My friend lived in Brampton at the time and it snowed for me just for one day in April. Flights cancelled to the US and Canada now. Looks like I will be visiting March/April next year. Winter this year wouldn’t be a good idea. Let’s see. I enjoyed watching this video Scotty. Thanks. Must mention I love your hair. You look really cool. All the best. Take care. Be safe. Lots of love❤️🤗✌🏼💕

[@SuperRobbie1976]

i'm watching the movie right now.

[@MrLocationsBorisMigliore]

Congratulations Scott as always! I wanted to ask you two things: can the campus be freely visited any day? Have you tried going inside to check if the interior scenes were actually filmed there?

[@billiardball9650]

i was 2 years old on the top of that tower were over visiting family , i dont remember being in the tower lol but great pictures in the family album i have to visit canada again sometime nother great video bud

[@richardkelly3177]

[@hectorlopez1069]

I sure do miss these kinds of movies. What happen to movies like this. Lots of movies were filmed in Toronto canada.

[@daradiant1]

MAHONEY! TACKLEBERRY! Better yet, The Blue Oyster 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@alexanderpatrick4866]

That was really cool. Thanks again Scott. I haven't seen that film since the 1980s. I think there was like five six or seven more am I correct? Pretty crazy. See you later!

[@scottakaswb7545]

I use to live in Etobicoke. I would bike ride down to the campus to watch them film it. I lived at lakeshore and royal york.

[@Hunter-fs7ql]

Scott you did a good job on this videoI can't wait to see what's next I wouldn't mind seeing Tommy boy or Billy Madison well good video Scott 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
