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.
@@kingwacky184 Unless you literally know it's not lol. I'm not diving in the dirt if there isn't an actual threat. I DO get what you're saying though. Tell my kids the same thing.
"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.
Do I remember correctly that it's part 4 that has a pool rescue scene involving Callahan?? Still remember my brother saying DAMN and my mom smacking his head and e1 behind us cracking up 😂😂😂
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.
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.
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!!!’ 😅
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 UA-cam about that show. He’s fun to listen to - harkens back to a time before entertainment became fully corporatized.
"Hightower" - Bubba Smith "Tackleberry" - David Graf "Hooks" - Marion Ramsey "Commandant Lassard"- George Gaynes "George Martin" - Andre Ruvin "Captain Reed" - Ted Ros "Mrs. Fackler" - Debralee Scott "Chief Hurst" - George R. Robertson May they all rest in peace.
I have a soft spot for this movie, because it was filmed in my hometown! It's always a trip to see Toronto from waaaay back in the day! Brings me back to my childhood!
Bubba Smith (RIP), Hightower, may not be Joe Frazier but he was a thought guy himself. At 6’7” he played defensive end for the Baltimore Colts, Oakland Raiders, and Houston Oilers.
i was 7 when this movie came out. watched it religiously till i was 18. Still watch it at least once a year at 46, just stupid brain gravy full of fun.
They vary in quality, but even the bad ones are alright. Michael Winslow (Larvell) is the reason to keep watching (and the recurring Blue Oyster joke).
Michael Winslow is one of the best in the film series as Jones! 'The Man of 10,000 noises' 🤣 My fiancée & I went to see him perform about 10 years ago when he came here to the UK 😁👍🏻
Everyone wonder why the heck Tackleberry is so serious and all till like half way through the movie when they realise that is literally his personality.
31:50 I was waiting for your reaction to that scene, and it didn't disappoint. lol An all-time classic comedy. I think it's a must-see of the 80s comedies. Some of the sequels were pretty good, too.
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
Oh man this movie is one of the GOATS! The Lassard podium scene still to this day makes me laugh so hard i cry, I absolutely love every character especially Callahan 😏
I've always loved this franchise. It suffered the longer it went like all franchises that try to milk stuff. But the running gags, and jokes are top notch.
Great reaction! 😊 This is such a hilariously great movie. I grew up with the "Police Academy" movies. I hope that you end up watching the whole series. 1 thru 4 are my favorites. Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
When I was a kid my mom and I rented all the Police Academy movies on VHS we could find, no matter how terrible and inappropriate they were for my age 😂😂😂 My favorite pairing was later on with Sweetchuck and Zed (played by screamy comedian Bobcat Goldthwait). And can you believe there was a Saturday morning cartoon too? Ahh, the '80s...
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!
"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.
That podium scene got me 😂 , hilarious, let’s hit the 👍 like button, make sure you’re subscribed, hit that notification bell 🔔 for further drops from the best reactor on the planet 🌎 you don’t want to miss anything, hi 👋 Leo , thanks for this one 🫶🏻💕🫶🏻
Oh and you know Michael Winslow/Larvell Jones from Spaceballs. He was the one making sound effects in the scene with "The Bleeps, the sweeps and the creeps" getting Jammed
I grew up on these movies. Literally. I saw this first when I was 9 or 10. I was an 80's kid. That's how we rolled. I didn't understand the sexual stuff, but I still found the film funny. The podium bit, I didn't understand what she was doing, I just thought his facial expressions were funny.
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.
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.
turkish person here. about the same age as the mr. video. this movie and sequels were on about every other week at 90's here. most amazing thing to me would be him really not seen this before.
Real comedy without censorship is the best laughs ever. Watching the late 70's & 80's stand up comedians like Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, and Robin Williams were some of the best times of my life.
This movie was just topped of with Michael Winslow's amazing sound FX and vocal talents! His stand up bits are incredible. Give Bella some scritches for me!
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.
I'm sooo happy you finally watched one of my all time favorite comedies! These are absolutely epic!! Love the stupid silly humor! P.s. Please please do the rest! (Well except maybe the last one😅).
Loved your reactions to one of my favorite movies ever! I've been down with this movie since it first came out! Def check out the many sequels! And Hightower (Bubba Smith) was a real life badass NFL Defensive football player! 👍
Watched this movie about 20 times the summer of 85’. I was 10 and kept the movie all month, my old man was pissed when he seen the late charges 😂 classic movie!!
I remember watching Bubba Smith (Hightower) when he played pro football, he was great in this one, look forward to your reactions to the other police academy movies.
