Police Academy
New rules enforced by the Lady Mayoress mean that sex, weight, height and intelligence need no longer be a factor for joining the Police Force. This opens the floodgates for all and sundry to enter the Police Academy, much to the chagrin of the instructors. Not everyone is there through choice, though. Social misfit Mahoney has been forced to sign up as the only alternative to a jail sentence and it doesn't take long before he falls foul of the boorish Lieutenant Harris. But before long, Mahoney realises that he is enjoying being a police cadet and decides he wants to stay... while Harris decides he wants Mahoney out!

To me, this movie is perfection.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
I guess seeing parts of one or two of the sequels had soured me on the franchise. But, this original is hilarious. And did I mention that it is about the most NON-POLITICALLY-CORRECT movie ever. Did I mention that I an giving it an extra star for driving today's politically-correct fools crazy. Can you imagine how many blood vessels pop whenever one of today's politically-correct fools dares to watch this? Countless. I recommend all of today's colleges show Police Academy & Animal House non-stop in all their official "safe spaces". I'm giving another star for Bubba Smith. Beyond that, well, good speech.
If you've ever wanted to know how the real police academy operates then look no further. Police academy, home to the newest recruits, and also a new way of allowing normal civilians to make a dream come true. Heritage has shown that most academies look for those who have stamina, strength, the right height, right weight, and Johnsons. Yet as the times change so do the police forces. Much like this film who shows that no more discrimination is allowed among the young cadets. Which brings us to the protagonist Carey Mahoney (Steve Guttenberg). A brash trouble maker who pulls pranks long enough to finally get himself thrown into the academy to become a better citizen. How will the city survive? Along with Mahoney comes a motley crew of misfits misunderstood by society such as Marvell Jones (Michael Winslow) who usually passes the time by making sound effects that sound so real you would think the sounds were authentic. Such as gun fire, harmonicas, or even an arcade game. In between these two are other characters such as Tackleberry (David Graf) Hightower (Bubba Smith) or Hooks (Marion Ramsey). Put these people together you get the next generation of cop that most would sacrifice their life for to keep them in their neighbourhood.Although learning is part of the ritual, for which you will need a rough, tough, and hardened Lieutenant Harris (G. W. Bailey) and his sidekick who is not only beautiful but cruel as Harris is Sergeant Callahan (Leslie Easterbrook) Together they make the best drill instructors this side of Siberia with their relentless training regimes of push ups, sit ups, running, push ups, obstacle training, push ups, and more. But also there are the butt kissers such as the two squad leaders such a Copeland, and Blanks who during this feature gets dancing lessons by some very mean looking S+M Blue Oyster club members.Put it all in one can you have one hell of a thrill ride from frame one to six thousand. Full of laughs, action, and great actors such as the most beloved academy leader Commandant Lassard (George Gaynes) who only wants to see his cadets graduate with Honourable pride. Police academy was one of the top grossing films during the eighties, which inspired many people from all walks of life to enlist hoping to become the next Carey Mahoney. Yet to do that one only has to park a car sideways, and listen to Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Since the first film it spawned five more instalments making it one of the successful franchises in recent years including their own animated series. To remake this kind of humour would need some very intelligent writers that do not need CGI or special effects, only cut throat humour that can make an audience laugh from start to finish.However to make it work for the Commandant position since the passing of George Gaynes it will be some time before it can actually get off the ground. In the mean time sit back, and enjoy a real gem from the eighties as Police Academy breaks all the rules, with gut busting laughs, and fun. Highly recommended for ages fourteen and above.
First things first: I fully agree on the bad reviews about the sequels .. but this one is different. The first Police Academy Movie comes up with lots of funny ideas (mostly slapstick gags) and even an not to uninteresting plot. But unlike the other PA parts this one doesn't exaggerate the slapstick humor keeping gags and story on a balanced level. As far as i can see it most of the bad reviews here like so often resulted out of wrong expectations. This movie is not to be intended to be a smart and sharp satire but rather just a movie for simple unpretentious entertainment. If you only are able to laugh about movies that mentally challenge you Don't WATCH THIS ONE or you gonna waste your time/money.
The Policy Academy Trilogy is one of the most memorable cinema work in the 1980s, so, I naturally was hoping that the first movie in the franchise would be a good one.This first movie, about a group of good-hearted but incompetent misfits who enter the police academy after the city's mayor allowed for virtually any one to apply, was just one gag after the other, with little or no plot. The excessive sexual innuendos were over the top and the movie takes a very long time to gain any steam. You might get a few chuckles here and there from the ongoing jokes, but you probably won't mind much excitement or thrills in the action-less plot.The acting, though, was as good as it can be in the film, with Steve Guttenberg, Bubba Smith, Michael Winslow, Marion Ramsey and George Gaynes being the highlight of the show. David Graf's Tackberry character was a little too overzealous and Andrew Rubin's oversexed George Martin character was a turn-off.If you would like to watch the Police Academy movies, stick with the sequels, particularly Parts Two and Three.Grade D-
