I miss this kind of stupid-funny movie. It's probably difficult for some people today to understand the innate harmlessness intended by this movie but for the rest of us it was a fun movie. Thanks for reviewing it.
It was definitely fun at the time. They don’t even make comedies anymore. I don’t remember the last one that came out:
@@JayHarangueI hadn't thought about it but yeah, that's true. I can't recall any comedies coming out lately either, certainly not any good ones. I suppose in a way that is a good thing in that it makes your videos a bit of an oasis in the desert. Thanks for the respites, Jay.
Kim Cattrall looked really good in this and Porky's
Agreed!
Not gonna lie... Leslie Easterbrook could dominate me, any day!
Very true.
I'll be watching this later! Loved these films growing up in the 80s.
I did too. 5,6 and 7….not so much.
Loved the first 3 films! They are still classics, obviously some of these jokes would not fly today though.... lmao "Feather Beanie" 🤣
Yeah, I loved the first three. It's hard to imagine how this was NOT aimed at kids yet had all the "Jonesey" jokes in it. Makes me wonder if their plan was for kids to beg their parents to take them to see it or get the video.
I love your takes on these movies keep them coming ….TY
Thank you. And thanks for watching. 🙂
@@JayHarangue no thank you
Gay leather bars were definitely a thing. An early example in film was Cruising (1980).
I’m sure they existed. But if a straight person walked in accidentally…was that taken as “consent?” 😂
@@JayHarangue Only if they were wearing the wrong colored handkerchief. ProTip: stay away from the yellow, brown, and red ones :)
@XploitationRR Thanks. Although I’m unlikely to ever be a) wearing a handkerchief or b) walking into a gay leather bar by accident. I think that’s something that happens to people who leave the house.
Ah yes, the inspiring story of a group of misfits that overcome all odds against them and join The Fuzz.. heartwarming stuff really
I think so, yes!! 🥰
Loved these movies when I was a kid. 2 and 3 were the best ones for me
Yeah, they get SO bad after 3 or 4.
Good, clean harmless fun...... aren't words I'd use to describe this 😂
I trust you will be covering all 7 films?
I’ll see how this one goes down first. I’m certainly prepared to though. After the Andy Sidaris stuff, the Police Academy collection will be a breeze. 😃
@@JayHarangue"the Police Academy collection will be a breeze" You won't be saying that by the time you get to Mission to Moscow 😅
@@FranzSanchez-ky9up Sadly, I've seen it before and yes....it's terrible
New subscriber! I love old school movies! I collect vhs tapes! And I’ve got police academy!
Thanks and welcome. 😃
@@JayHarangue can you shout me out in your next video like say everyone go check out this person then tag me haha
@ITZJASON That’s really not the sort of thing I do. You’re probably better off going to the “Blu Tube” community for that.
Just checked out your channel and see you’re into the retro stuff. Check out my friend @videotasties He wont promote you in his videos but he’s got a s**t load of VHS tapes and has a great community for people of all ages.
To be honest, apart from a couple of "suspect" moments, I think it still holds up for the most part ; the infamous "Blue Oyster Bar" scene is so ridiculous and in retrospect, downright naive, that I don't see anyone taking it to heart... though I'm too old to speak fòr the zoomer audience.
Oh SOMEONE will be taking it to heart…trust me. 😂
These movies were definitely a product of their time. Leslie Easterbrook tho.
Definitely of their time. Although I think there was a TV show in the 2000s that tried to incorporate the same humour!!! I’ll have to look into that.
@@JayHarangue Never saw the live-action show, but I remember the animated series ; it used to be on ITV on Saturday mornings in the early 90's. I doubt it's held up, but who knows.
@@FranzSanchez-ky9up I don't think I ever saw the cartoon. I'm gonna guess it's better than the live action series. I've been told the only original cast member to appear in it.....was Jones!
@@JayHarangue there were action figures for that animated series as well. I remember Kenner repurposed their Ghostbusters firehouse for Police Academy HQ. I have to wonder what kids actually collected those.
@@Chainsawhappy Now that you mention it... I had the Jones action figure, but none of the others.
This'll be GREAT. I think I dropped out on the 3rd movie. Please do all 8!
Sadly, I've seen them all. If this one does well, I'll do the second one and se how it goes. The thought of rewatching "Mission to Moscow" makes me sick.
@@JayHarangue they sold all of them in a box set that I didn't get, now department stores are cutting their dvd section?! Could been the last movies I was able to buy new, in a store.
@SinCitizenGent I throng I had the DVD set years ago. I definitely had the American pie and Naked Gun ones.
To be fair, the Police Academy films did understand that just throwing the doors open to anyone did very little in terms of reducing the crime figures!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
As I get older I side more with Harris
OH 100%! Unthinkable to a 12yr old me. 😂
Yeah but Callahan was sooooooo sexy.
Back in the day, absolutely! I didn't even notice Kim Cattrall.
And those original lines is why you watch this with the hillarious dubs in Germany increasing the humorlevel to 10 thousand ^^
also you messed the hooker joke up as when Lassat wants to check the Podium Mahoni trys to get out is seen and he smiles at him so Lassat thinks he was it.
I left a LOT of the “jokes” out! 😂
Thanks for watching. 🙂
I saw a retrospective on youtube about this declining series. Its like aliens and die hard in that each movie got worse. Maybe i should see all these backwards? Also, the retrospective mentioned a 6 movie series knock off, vice academy?! May be worth seeing, too?
I saw the same video I think! Yeah, that vice academy looks AWFUL! 😂
@@JayHarangue it's the video where they got into the importance of music and how music video tie ins were so important in the 80's. It mashed my nostalgia button all to hell
The horse. 😂
SO bad!! 😂😂
The film called police academy that came out in 1984 is about 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 Mahoney, hulking Moses Hightower, beautiful Karen Thompson, and sound effects generating larvell jones, who all have to show initiative and courage when they are faced with a tough situations out on patrol.
These were good goofy fun. But yeah, they're crap.
Should have had that on the poster. 😂
Ruining "good" 80s comedy for me now? I wont stand for it LOL
If you dont think doesn’t age well, listen to the lyrics of popular 80s songs
Oh I’m fine with 2 Live Crew. 😂
It’s not the offensive thing for me obviously, just the type of comedy. Sadly comedies don’t seem to even exist anymore. When was the last one released (not including Daily Wire)?
