I hope you cover the following sequels (both theatrical and direct-to-video): George of the Jungle 2 (which goes on and on about Brendan Fraser not returning, but not saying the same thing about Leslie Mann, who didn't need to make any more kids films after marrying Judd Apatow) The Lego Movie 2 (that one felt like a rehash of the first Lego Movie) Caddyshack 2 Look Who's Talking Now The Santa Clause 3 Honey We Shrunk Ourselves National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor Inspector Gadget 2 Weekend at Bernie's 2 Jingle All The Way 2 On a side note, if you ever decide to review the 1988 Tom Cruise movie Cocktail, you have to find and read the novel it was based on, please.

I know you're going more for movies and series, but why not someone behind a lot of the great 80's movies. On the original post for the Part 1 video, I made a comment where I was essentially surprised by the mention of "Beyond The Mat". Well, in that thought, why not a career retrospective of Barry Blaustein? I mean, an SNL writer who ends up writing the BEST comedies in the Eddie Murphy catalog, to loads of more movies, to the 3-4 years he spent putting together and filming "Beyond The Mat" (and why it was a big deal in the wrestling world, ESPECIALLY during it's release during "The Monday Night Wars"), to whatever he's doing now. Add in whatever came beforehand, and it's GOTTA be something interesting that there isn't a KZbin doc deep dive into like you've done here with "Police Academy".

Being born in 1980 I felt this series was aimed at my age group (under 10). I often thought it was weird that more films weren’t episodic like tv shows. So the fact they were churned out wasn’t an issue for me. I’m amazed the made as much money as they did, I always thought they were middling performing films reflective of their quality.

New sub here, just found your channel! I was 10 when Police Academy came out and my sister took me to see it at a drive-in theater in Orange County in the back of a pickup. We didn't even know how lucky we were to have done that and laughed our asses off. The snack bars were amazing back then at drive-ins; there was even a playground next to the snackbar that kids played on. It's crazy to think how much the viewing experience has changed in 40 years. Damn, I'm old...

Really enjoying this. A box set should just include a qr code for this video. I can feel the time put into it. Tequila & Benetti. Wow. Rare is it I'm given a glimpse into something I know nothing of from that era. Seeing that with the choppy "rad" intro is like an simulation. A cross breeding of 2 trends, the cop with dog and talking things that don't talk. Incredible. It even had a reboot a decade later. Twice this vid actually. The show with the beauty queens is from out of the void. Maybe I'll give Mission to Moscow a shot.

Also, super into Brian DePalma's filmography of the 80s what with Blow Out, Dressed to Kill and Body Double. And speaking of Body Double, 80s films of Los Angeles. Now I'm getting perhaps too niche but 1980s L.A. was such a genre unto itself. To me, anyway.

I have a great fondness for the first one, but the only sequel I can really say that I like is the third one. The second film showed just how important Lassard and the academy campus were to the series, as the precinct proved to be a rather dull setting, and the decision to focus so much on a zany new antagonist rather than on the antics of the returning cast reeked of desperation at a time when things should have still felt fresh. The third entry, while obviously toned down for a lower rating, restored much of what was missing from the earlier sequel and found a more appropriate use for Zed and Sweetchuck--that is, making them minor supporting characters who didn't overstay their welcome. Yes, the jokes were largely recycled from the first two movies, but at least they chose to recycle the best jokes. And the action sequence at the end is fantastic. Of course, having all the right elements doesn't necessarily mean having a coherent end product, and Citizens on Patrol is easily the most unfocused entry in the series. Mahoney, our protagonist for the first three entries, has been reduced down practically to a cameo to make room for aimless sketches involving Zed romancing Corinne Bohrer that do nothing to advance a plot (if the film can even be said to have one). The TV version, which restores a bit of Guttenberg's cut material, is marginally better, but this is still the franchise at its most meandering, and it's not surprising that a number of the headliners bowed out after this one. But even the fourth film can boast a handful of funny jokes, which is more than can be said about the fifth entry. Assignment Miami Beach gets credit for its setting (which is sufficiently exciting to justify leaving the academy) and for some attempt at a plot. It loses most of that credit for trying to introduce a Mahoney stand-in rather than simply handing the keys of lead actor over to Michael Winslow. The other inescapable problem is that it's almost unforgivable that some of Lassard's most loyal graduates would suddenly vanish when the time came to give him a public honor. The sixth film, while tired in its humor, is without a doubt the best of the post-Guttenberg era thanks to an above-average plot for this series (possibly the best outside of the original film). And while we're back in the boring precinct setting, at least there's a fascinating mystery with a fun payoff to keep things interesting. If only the mystery--or the relatively exotic setting--of Mission to Moscow could save it from being the series nadir. But there's no getting around it: in a franchise full of films that don't inspire much laughter, only one of them moves past "inoffensively unfunny" to "torturously unfunny."

What a brilliant summation of the series as a whole - you should make your own Police Academy documentary! Really interesting viewpoints on the merits of each, you're totally right about part 6.

You’re right about the theme, it should be the national anthem and I wished we lived in the timeline where they made that Scotland Yard one as a triumphant ending to the series
@CultureSlice
@CultureSlice 3 ай бұрын
Oh yeah completely, from a nostalgia perspective I still enjoy them to this day...I mean, I quite liked part 6 even though objectively it couldn't be classed as a good film. I also enjoyed Ski Patrol so maybe there is no hope for me! I really wish they'd been able to make the Scotland Yard idea a reality, it could have genuinely been a proper way to bring the series to a close...but at least we will always have the theme!

Great video. I live in Australia and saw the first 6 at the movies with my Dad as a kid. Part 3 is a little better than part 2 in my opinion. The second one always felt a little flat to me. I think the first 4 are good though. When I was a kid part 4 was actually my favourite but now I can see it’s not the best one. Part 5 and 6 are ok and not as bad as people make out. I remember there being barely anyone else in the cinema for part 6 and knew it was over. Part 7 is just embarrassing. I have no memory of it at the time. I only know it now because I own the box set

As for part seven…the less said, the better 😂

We’ve never been in a period where we’ve seen less originality or risk taking in Hollywood, if we’re going to see an attempted reboot of the Police Academy franchise, this is definitely the time.

My mum and I used to watch PA films together too, think I enjoyed them more than her generally but she liked Police Academy 4 for some reason?! Not sure why but I enjoyed part 6 a bit when I watched it back, think your evaluation about them losing it later isn’t that far off though. 6 was kind of back to basics, a lot of the humour wasn’t actually funny but it was strangely reassuring. Thanks again for your message and all the best.

I remember being dragged into the cinema by my friends to watch PA5. I was already secretly hating the franchise by then, but everyone was still crazy about it, so I pretended to be too so not to stand out. PA5 was miserable - no Mahoney, unfunny jokes, nothingburger of a plot, yet my friends were laughing like maniacs and I did my best to keep pretending I was having a good time. Thankfully, by the time PA6 arrived, it was no longer "cool" to be a fan of the franchise, so I was spared the suffering. I did ultimately watch all the sequels out of morbid curiosity, but at least I was free from having to fake enjoyment, so it was much less painful overall.

This is a beautiful beautiful doc for a very underrated and sadly forgotten franchise. Thank you forever for making it. Far too many reactors just watch the first one and annoyingly and ignorantly ignore all the other movies bc they're punk GenZoomers. I grew up with all of these movies as a kid and we went to see 6 in the theaters when my dad took us. As an adult, I always appreciated the more "grass roots" feel of the first 4, and appreciated the higher production values of 5 and 6. It almost feels like 2 eras bc the absence of SweetChuck, Guttenberg and Bobcat Goldthwait are definitely felt in part 5, despite the movie being better (I disagree with the movie being bad bc I feel like a few of the earlier ones are worse in how they feel like cheap comedy sketches sewed together). 5 and 6 feel more mainstreamed and 7 really shouldn't ever have been made but I get why they did. Anyway, a great classic franchise that wasn't always great film-wise but still greatly holds an 80s charm. The decade would not have been the same without these films!
@CultureSlice
@CultureSlice 3 ай бұрын
Thank you so much for the praise on the doc, it is massively appreciated! Totally see your point about 5 feeling more like a properly made movie - the sitcom vibe is a bit too strong with some of the films in the franchise 😆 You are totally right on the decade not being the same without them, even though the actual content within them wasn't always great...it's a massive shame there aren't more (or really any) movies like these in cinemas these days!

According to Brown, Steve Guttenberg was not very nice to her on set. While filming the street fair scene, where Mahoney takes Chloe on a date by riding the Ferris Wheel, Guttenberg refused to go through with their scripted kissing scene, telling Brown that his character would not kiss hers. The entire romantic subplot with Mahoney and Chloe ended up being removed from the final cut. Without context, Chloe's appearance at Tackleberry's wedding as a bridesmaid (and the one who catches the bouquet to boot) is confusing to the viewer.
