      Winslow just has a gift, like literally no other actor I've ever seen before! It's a shame he has been out of movies since the early 90's, because of family trouble. That dude had a LEGENDARY acting career ahead of him, if he kept going in Hollywood!!

      Isn't that weird? It makes sense if a series goes on long enough for the fans of the original entry in the franchise to start having kids but it is a bit odd in the abstract. Another series that charts the same trajectory is "Robocop" which ended up being for the kids by the time the third film happened - MUCH sharper left turn in vibe with those, obviously.

      He had a small part in Cheech and Chong's Next Movie back in 1980. I believe that was his first on screen roll.

Shocking that nobody noticed him back than.

    I feel this series mostly lives on nostalgia. The 1st movie is a fun mildly-raunchy comedy. The 2nd, just another sequel. But the 3rd establishes a formula of silliness that every movie afterwards follows. You go into them knowing exactly what you'll see. It's like seeing old friends again. I could see new, younger viewers being baffled by their popularity. Me, I adore them.

    Fun fact to note: when everybody ducks after Cadet Barbara accidentally fires his shot...the only one to not duck was Tackleberry because he knows proper gun safety despite being "Gung ho" all the time and that sense it wasn't racked (he didn't have another shell in the chamber) it wouldn't fire

    • @vakama9053
      @vakama9053 Рік тому

      Counterpoint: Rule number one of gun safety is "Always treat the gun like it's loaded." Whether or not you think there could have been a shell chambered, you never flag anyone like that, and you should never just stand there and let yourself be flagged either.

    Don't know if it's already been brought up, but I like a very small detail > In the shotgun training scene Tackleberry is the only one who does not get down when Barbara turns around and "flags" all the Trainees... because he's the only one who is enough of a gun nut to know that Barbara didn't rack the slide to insert another shell :P .

    I think it was in 2021 shortly after him popping into AGT as a "reintroduction" of his unique standup routine to new generations of potential fans. I attended a Screening of Police Academy that Michael Winslow did a brief introduction and concluded the screening with a Q&A plus his standup. It was like being on cloud 9 for 3 hours! It was so great to see him in person. He talked about all the stuff that may seem ahead of it's time or maybe didn't age the best, but when you put your head into the mind space of that time it was kinda groundbreaking. Like for example they had like to no budget or any idea how to handle the Blue Oyster Bar. So the director asked the costuming dept. if they had access to any type of costumes that might work...well when they asked what extras they had to get measurements for they went back and forth on how many people would be in the scene and what kinda budget and when it was reveled that there wasn't much of a budget left for either. So as luck would have it all the extras playing patrons in the bar scene was most of the costuming dept. and their partners and friends in their weekend attire with some of them also having taken classes in Ball Room dancing prior to filming! 😆

    It's funny you picked up on Jones just being there for gags. Because he was. He was discovered by someone doing stand up very close to the start of filming. They found a way to fit him in, but he really doesn't have any specific thing he does plot wise (like yeah, he got Mahoney out of the classroom that one time, but had they simply jumped to Mahoney going to Lassards office no one would have wondered). In fact, when George observed the early scene in the interrogation room with Mahoney and Reed it felt like a pick up shot, it might very well have been, since that's when he asks for Jones to go with him to the Academy.

I spent 20 years as a small-town cop in Ohio, and I can neither confirm nor deny the degree to which this film may, or may not have inspired my desire to be a cop! Although, my academy experience was nothing like this! The state and most larger cities do run their own academies, and some are residential, but, mine was a community college program. Oh, and although it varies from state to state, and even department to department, sometimes, the police academy is *generally* around six months, or so, in the US.

    It would be many years before I would know that police academy was not like a military boot camp.
    After watching "Android Death Punch," Simone's look of curiosity reminds me of that character observing and questioning.
    It is not unrealistic for two people to have a so-called relationship as that depicted after just meeting each other a few times.
    The sequels were PG-13 and became a sort of joke, like most movies that were putting out multiple sequels every year or two, as that was not common except with some horror films. Also, there were fewer raunchy comedies like this after 1984. This was sort of the tail end of that trend; others that year were "Hot Dog: The Movie" and "Hardbodies," but this and "Porky's" in 1982 were the biggest hits.
