"IP man" has nice fighting, "Beverly Hills Ninja" is very funny comedy with very little ninja, "Kung Fury" is just weird. Bruce Lee movies are dumb, but maybe the one with Chuck Norris.
You will love Turner and Hooch. It gots a young Tom Hanks, a dog(s), action, and an 80s soundtrack. ..oh, and a love story if you like that sort of thing. :)
Fraid there's not many 'Bruce Lee' movies, But i'd say check out some classics like 'Drunken Master'/ 'Rumble in the Bronx' Or 'Method Man', Alternatly if you fancy something more modern, You could try 'Ong Bak', Or 'Fist of the Condor' is great. Also please please please add 'District 13' to your list..awesome action, freerunning and martial arts.... P.s. Yes 'Goodman' is in 'Flinstones'....Its ok, i'd actually say try 'Once Upon A Time In Little Venice' 'Goodman & Bruce Willis' Playing two ageing surfer hippies😉
Greetings from Finland girl!!! All of Police academy movies are watchable in my opinion. These movies brings so many childhood memories ❤ you should definitely check out Dragon - Bruce Lee's story!!! Great movie i highly recommend you to check it out!!! "I'll be back" 😎
The blonde guy in the bar talk to the cops time code 20 minutes if you put a beard and mustache on hymn that's the guy that played Johnny fever on WKRP in Cincinnati
Michael Winslow's Bruce Lee impersonation including the messed up voice dubbing always cracks me up😂 When I saw this movie as a kid I had not seen a Bruce Lee movie yet and didn't get the joke back then. Now it's just priceless!
That kid was played by Jason Hervey, who was also the older brother in The Wonder Years and was in a lot of other stuff back in the day (Back to the Future, for example).
Bobcat is what got me interested in comedy, and as mild-mannered as he is you can tell he grew up in a wild home. I heard about him living with his brother who liked to shoot deer from the bathroom window whilst sitting on the toilet.
The leader of the punk gang was the incomparable Bobcat Goldthwaite. If you’ve seen “Scrooged”, he was the employee fired by Bill Murray on Christmas Eve.
The screamer is Bobcat Golthwait. Became TV director of the Jimmy Kimmel show. Good friend of Robin Williams, who starred in one of his movies, World Greatest Dad.
Robin also had a part in Bobcat's film SHAKES THE CLOWN (1991) - Bobcat's greatest film. The opening scene 'waking up' (or coming to) with Florence Henderson (Mrs. Brady) is worth the price of admission, and the musical interlude chasing down mimes with Adam Sandler along for the ride to the sound of Me And The Boys by NRBQ is pure mayhem!
This is a pretty fun sequel. All the police academy movies are a blast to watch and seeing Vinny eat the cereal after the cat pooped/peed in it was nasty.
@@Beardo2517 Well god bless you, as we all like different things. But I hope you feel ashamed about it, the way I feel ashamed for still having 'Mannequin' on DVD (Mannequin being the reason I watched Police Academy so many times as a kid).
@@petersvillage7447 I don't feel ashamed in the slightest. It's got the best Michael Winslow voice work and it's got Bigfoot for a good clip so I love it.
1:14 That's Bobcat Goldthwait, a fairly prolific writer, director, actor, and stand-up comedian. This persona came from his stand-up. 1:17 Hey look, bacon and eggs. 🐷🥚 1:23 Ladies and Gentlemen....Dr. Johnny Fever!!!👏👏👏🤘 4:53 Pretty sure this was when I started responding "Yo" during roll-call back in the day, to many a humourless teachers' chagrin.
I also checked out after 5. It was ok but without Steve Guttenberg it just wasn't the same. The fake Mahoney guy also didn't help. The only thing he did was remind you that the real Mahoney was missing.
@@FlorianD30 Yeah, Matt McCoy was pretty bland & it makes you miss Mahoney. Had Steve Guttenberg stayed Mahoney would have become a lieutenant (I guess he became a lieutenant in another state off screen). Matt McCoy was also in the 6th movie, but not in the 7th movie, in that one it was another bland character with fear of heights played by Charlie Schlatter (who voiced Flash in Superman TAS & Justice League Action) The irony is that Guttenberg turned down the 5th movie because he was tired of the franchise, but he later regretted doing that (mostly because his career was going downhill, which is my guess). He is more open to return for another movie, but I honestly don't want a reboot.
The Boss punk was played by Bobcat Goldthwait who always acted in this his distinctive style. Later he became more known as scriptwriter & director; he was also big friends with Robin Williams! One of the last movies with Mr.Williams was written/directed by Mr.Goldthwait: 'World's Greatest Dad'! Lots of dark comedy & a wee bit of pot; I recommend! 🙂
He's popped up as a voice on Bobs Burgers twice now. Once as a truck driver the family encounters in a Christmas episode, and then a few years later as the music store guy Gene annoys and ends up banning him from his store.
Tackleberry's wedding at the end is quite sad when you know that David Graf actually died of a massive heart attack at his brother-in-laws wedding 9 days before his 51st birthday in 2001.
God I wish I could see that again. I saw the trailer a thousand times on rental videos and when I finally saw the film I loved it - but for some reason it's a nightmare to get hold of where I am. Unlike Better Off Dead, so that's something at least.
I was a very immature young dude at the time, but around the time I got into college, we went to see this and for some reason bobcat had me doubled up in laugh spasms for a solid 10 or 15 minutes
Colleen Camp, who played Kirkland, Tackleberry's partner and love interest, also played Yvette, the maid in Clue. Both Police Academy 2 and Clue came out in 1985. As if that weren't enough, she was also in the movies D.A.R.Y.L. and Doin' Time, as well as episodes of Tales from the Darkside and George Burns Comedy Week, all in 1985.
During the scene where Tackleberry is getting the kid out of the car at school, it reminded me of when I was an EMT, we could pick up law enforcement’s radio traffic, and one day a mom called 911 because her son wouldn’t get out of bed for school. It definitely gave us a good laugh.
I enjoy Police Academy films. Each has its charm. I think Mission to Moscow (number 7) is probably the one most people hate, but I would say watch them yourself and form your own opinion, Jen. Hopefully, you'll share your reaction with us. Another old cop movie you might enjoy is Cop and a Half, Burt Reynolds
Good Afternoon, Jen💜and Let's ALL have some Laughs here today!😂This one is indeed a Fun / Funny follow-up to the First Movie, with Most of the Cast returning for even more Hilarious and Hysterical antics!👍I'm still Hoping You'll watch "Police Academy 3"🙏because that's My Personal Favorite...👌 Fun-Fact: Officer Kirkland ("Mrs. Tackleberry") was played by Colleen Camp, who'd also played that Sexy Maid in "CLUE!"
Sax has made a comeback in stuff like synth/retro/vaporwave music. Like Tim Capello once of the Lost Boys playing with groups like Gunship music. That scene homages a lot of 80s stuff so you might enjoy it.
Ironically, on my way home from the physical skills test for the SFPD academy (which I managed to pass despite missing a chunk of my right leg from a war wound - I was one tough SOB back in the day), I went to Comedy Day in the Park, and one of the comics was "Police Academy 2 (and 3 & 4)" star Bobcat Goldthwait. To this day, I remember him going off on a bizarre tangent in the middle of a grant about the difference between a hamster and a gerbil. Suddenly he shouted "And I'm not saying that making French toast is not a God given ability, but THAT was a looong time ago before we had Pop Tarts AS SUCH! Where'd I lose ya?" Stroke rehab update: yesterday, I was able to single leg press 90 lbs with my stroke weakened leg. At 160, that's still a long way from full weightbearing, but it's 10 lbs more than I could lift a month ago. I'm still kind of slow and sluggish, so I might not make a 100% recovery, but I believe I have a shot at becoming functional enough for a fully independent life which is good because I can't pay for a caregiver, and I refuse to sponge off my step daughter.
14:05 That's Colleen Camp. She played the maid in _Clue,_ and as irony would have it, in '77, she was in a movie called _Death Game,_ but in '78, she was in a movie called _Game of Death._
This is a great fun film, great reaction too, Jen. The majority of the sequels are great. As for Bruce Lee films, I'd recommend either; "Fist of Fury" aka "The Chinese Connection", or "The Way of The Dragon" aka "The Return of The Dragon", please remember though, Jen, these film were made for a Chinese audience so, they're subtitled or badly dubbed with American voices, of the two, "Fist of Fury" has the better dubbing over all.
@@vincecotton4947 Thanks, I haven't forgotten, "The Big Boss" aka "Fists of Fury", I just think that the dubbing isn't as good on it as the other two, which might make it hard for Jen's editor, I didn't consider "Game of Death" because it's a bit of a mess, because as I'm sure that you're aware Bruce died whilst making it so it was hashed together with a double and changing the story.
Rewatch: at 23:56, Jen makes it very clear: "You do NOT mess with bears!" Jen, you feel so strongly about this, the admonition appeared (slightly altered) in TWO Wisdom Nuggets: 12 Monkeys and your late, great Anchorman reaction. And now we know Jen is not a fan of Pepto-Bismol pink bridesmaid dresses.
You'd LOVE the wisdom and charisma of Bruce Lee in the interview he did with Pierre Berton! It's only about half an hour, but if you watch you're going to wish it was longer.
A lot of folks mentioned Bobcat's other roles, but let me mention that Bobcat was Pain, one of Hades' henchmen in Disney's Hercules. Doing pretty much teh same voice.
Zed (the gang leader) is played by Bobcat Goldthwait; you probably saw him in Scrooged and/or heard his voice as Pain in Disney's Hercules. Other great comedies featuring him are Shakes The Clown and One Crazy Summer; he also did a lot of standup comedy over the years.
7:25 I double checked and yes the firearms are accurate. Tackleberry upgrades to a Desert Eagle later in the film which was very forward thinking for 1985! The Desert Eagle very rarely appeared in 1980s films.
The original Police Academy went straight to VHS in the UK but this one hit the cinema and it was the first film I’d ever been where the performance, there was about 200 seats and everyone was in absolute hysterics!
Another lovely reaction, Jen! I was impressed when you recognized Buffy and Jody from Family Affair! I had Buffy and Jody manual alarm clock in my room growing up! ☺
Jen might remember Bobcat as the voice of one of Hades henchmen in Disney's Hercules and in Scrooge as the crazed disgruntled ex-employee with a shotgun. :)
Hi Jen, it's great you're continuing with the Police Academy franchise, I like all of them :) I'm glad you liked this, I had a great time watching you react to it. Yes please react to Police Academy 3 & 4 soon, they're the best of the sequels and are a lot of fun. I love watching you react to comedies :) speaking of which; yeah please check out Turner & Hooch (1988), it's a fun dog movie starring Tom Hanks. Also K-9 (1989) too - detective James Belushi teams up with a police dog called Jerry Lee to take down bad guys. It's a fun buddy cop flick :) I'd love to see you react to those & yeah The Flintstones (1994) as well, a good live action version of the cartoon.
Yay! You're watching the sequels! You're the best! I can't wait to see all these if that's what you're planning. Just know not all of these are very good but they do have an indie 80s charm. Bobcat Goldthwait was a very famous comedian back in the day into the 90s. Even into today but with much more limited circles.
Bobcat Goldthwaite (Zed) is a national treasure. Both he and Sweetchuck become trainees in PA 3 (one of my faves) ! Zed and Sweetchuck supercuts on UA-cam are a personal vice of mine.
Fun reaction Jen! For me personally, the first four Police Academy films are the best of the series. Bobcat Golthwait never ceases to crack me up as Zed, the leader of the gang. I love all of your reactions, especially the comedy movies cause your laugh is infectious (in a good way) and it always brightens my day and/or cheers me up! Keep up the great reactions Jen and many blessings to you and yours.
Great review Jen. Glad you liked it, I loved it when I first saw it as a kid back then. The guy who plays Mauser(Art Metrano), also has a small role in the Robin Williams movie "Toys", where he plays a security guard. 😊
Haha nice you reviewed this one! 🙂This is my favorite in the series. So many subtle little things that crack me up, like Mahoney sitting in the chair at his slob partner's house and it just randomly breaks 😆 Plus Mauser is a great ahole to root against. Unfortunately, they start recycling the same jokes going forward and the rest of the series kinda sucks imo.
Bob "Bobcat" Goldthwait. He reclaims this roll on part three. He was in "Scrooged" as the drunk guy that got fired. "One Crazy Summer" and "Hot to Trot " that movie has John Candy as a horse name Don. Those are the only others I can think of with him off the top of my head.
Since Jen is such a music/score enthusiast, a special list that has both amazing scores/great films: -Ladyhawke -Mr. Holland's Opus -Meet Joe Black -Last of the Mohicans -Troy
Police Academy 3 is my favourite in the series, can’t wait to see your reaction to that one. for Bruce Lee movies Fist Of Fury and Way Of The Dragon. Also (Dirty Harry 4) Sudden Impact
Bobcat Goldthwaite plays the ATM mugger with the weird voice. He co-starred in SCROOGED (1988). His best movie is SHAKES THE CLOWN (1991) - A kid's party clown with a drinking problem, and people either Love it or Hate it - If you have a sense of humor it's hilarious. A young Adam Sandler, Julie Brown, Robin Williams, Florence Henderson, etc. appear. Please React!
The Gang Leader was in the Christmas movie "Scrooged". He was the guy that Bill Murray fired. He looks so different in the movie but still sounds the same.
This is my favorite Police Academy movie out of all seven. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. The song you want for your playlist is "Dirty Work" by Tony Warren. I don't know about for anyone else but to me it's impossible to get for some reason. I've been trying to find it for years.
"Turner & Hooch" is a good movie, but for a great movie about a dog I recommend "K-9" with James Belushi. It's one of the more unusual buddy cop movies out there.
"What is this guy from?!" I believe you saw Bobcat Goldthwait in Scrooged, as the fired employee who seeks revenge. Top picks for more Bobcat and his iconic scream - One Crazy Summer, Shakes The Clown, and Hot To Trot
Bobcat Goldthwait is a comedian, writer, director, etc and was in Scrooged. He also directed a BRILLIANT comedy/prank/kinda documentary called "Windy City Heat" (2003). I dont want to ruin any of it in case you decide to check it out, but its hilarious and absurd. Jimmy Kimmel was involved also.
7:52 To be fair, Nestle Crunch is a Top-Tier Candy Bar....and ants are high in protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals.😋 13:10 Jen's appreciation for the 80's is endlessly endearing, especially considering she was still Star-Dust back then. 🌠 17:33 That's a Wall Bed, more commonly known as a Murphy Bed (though that's a brand name, like snowmobile vs. Ski-Doo). 20:43 I feel like Carey Mahoney really influenced the character of Jake Peralta (Brooklyn Nine-Nine).

You will love Turner and Hooch.
It gots a young Tom Hanks, a dog(s), action, and an 80s soundtrack.
..oh, and a love story if you like that sort of thing. :)
Fraid there's not many 'Bruce Lee' movies, But i'd say check out some classics like 'Drunken Master'/ 'Rumble in the Bronx' Or 'Method Man', Alternatly if you fancy something more modern, You could try 'Ong Bak', Or 'Fist of the Condor' is great.
Also please please please add 'District 13' to your list..awesome action, freerunning and martial arts....
P.s. Yes 'Goodman' is in 'Flinstones'....Its ok, i'd actually say try 'Once Upon A Time In Little Venice' 'Goodman & Bruce Willis' Playing two ageing surfer hippies😉
Greetings from Finland girl!!! All of Police academy movies are watchable in my opinion. These movies brings so many childhood memories ❤ you should definitely check out Dragon - Bruce Lee's story!!! Great movie i highly recommend you to check it out!!! "I'll be back" 😎
The blonde guy in the bar talk to the cops time code 20 minutes if you put a beard and mustache on hymn that's the guy that played Johnny fever on WKRP in Cincinnati
RIP Cmdnt Lassard (George Gaynes), Hightower (Bubba Smith), Tackleberry (David Graf), Hooks (Marion Ramsey), Mauser (Art Metrano), Pete Lassard (Howard Hessman)
it drove critics INSANE(!!!) that these movies kept making money 🤭 enjoyed your reaction 👍☺
Michael Winslow's Bruce Lee impersonation including the messed up voice dubbing always cracks me up😂 When I saw this movie as a kid I had not seen a Bruce Lee movie yet and didn't get the joke back then. Now it's just priceless!
"Oh, not on broccoli."
I know that's not Winslow, but man I've been saying that quote for like 40 years now. 😅
Kirkland was the Yvette the Maid in Clue!
“Did he call his mom bird face?” “What a shit” 😂 and you mimicking the kid’s face was perfect Jen.
Pretty sure that kid was Kevin’s older brother from “The Wonder Years” and a little brother to Marty’s Mom in Back to the Future.
That kid was played by Jason Hervey, who was also the older brother in The Wonder Years and was in a lot of other stuff back in the day (Back to the Future, for example).
Bobcat is what got me interested in comedy, and as mild-mannered as he is you can tell he grew up in a wild home. I heard about him living with his brother who liked to shoot deer from the bathroom window whilst sitting on the toilet.
And his brothers funeral story, kills me everytime.
Wild as a "bobcat"
7:16 "That's a nice piece."
"Her bum or the gun?"
It's _Tackleberry._ Of _course_ he's referring to her gun.
You literally stole the words out of my mouth. Haha!
The leader of the punk gang was the incomparable Bobcat Goldthwaite. If you’ve seen “Scrooged”, he was the employee fired by Bill Murray on Christmas Eve.
The screamer is Bobcat Golthwait. Became TV director of the Jimmy Kimmel show. Good friend of Robin Williams, who starred in one of his movies, World Greatest Dad.

Bobcat Goldthwait (the gang leader) is in Police Academy 2, 3, and 4.
So does Tim Kazarinsky (Mr. Sweetchuk)
Comedies suit you Jen! We all love watching you have a good time 😊
This is a pretty fun sequel. All the police academy movies are a blast to watch and seeing Vinny eat the cereal after the cat pooped/peed in it was nasty.
What, even City Under Siege?
@@petersvillage7447 That's my favorite one haha
@@Beardo2517 Well god bless you, as we all like different things. But I hope you feel ashamed about it, the way I feel ashamed for still having 'Mannequin' on DVD (Mannequin being the reason I watched Police Academy so many times as a kid).

1:17 Hey look, bacon and eggs. 🐷🥚
1:23 Ladies and Gentlemen....Dr. Johnny Fever!!!👏👏👏🤘
4:53 Pretty sure this was when I started responding "Yo" during roll-call back in the day, to many a humourless teachers' chagrin.
I think I lasted until Police Academy 5 but I had to tap out after that. When they lost Guttenberg they were definitely in trouble
6 is better than 5. Give it a try. 7 is a mess.
I also checked out after 5. It was ok but without Steve Guttenberg it just wasn't the same. The fake Mahoney guy also didn't help. The only thing he did was remind you that the real Mahoney was missing.
The 6th movie was ok, though that one felt more like a TV-movie. But the 7th movie was the weakest/worst movie in the series.
@@FlorianD30 Yeah, Matt McCoy was pretty bland & it makes you miss Mahoney. Had Steve Guttenberg stayed Mahoney would have become a lieutenant (I guess he became a lieutenant in another state off screen).

Tackleberry's wedding at the end is quite sad when you know that David Graf actually died of a massive heart attack at his brother-in-laws wedding 9 days before his 51st birthday in 2001.
There's actually a callback to something specific about the wedding,in a later sequel.
@@MarkDemeo Yup, Part 6. 😉
7:47
Interesting Fact for you, Jen:
Bubba Smith, the actor who played Hightower, actually played for the Buffalo Bills before he had become an actor
@@CasperC1451 I could've sworn that he'd played for the Bills also
Bobcat Goldthwait. Loved him in the film. “One crazy summer “
God I wish I could see that again. I saw the trailer a thousand times on rental videos and when I finally saw the film I loved it - but for some reason it's a nightmare to get hold of where I am. Unlike Better Off Dead, so that's something at least.
@@petersvillage7447 it’s free on UA-cam with adds
He also appeared in a couple of music videos for Twisted Sister songs:
Their cover of "Leader Of The Pack" and the song "Be Crool To Your Skool"
I was a very immature young dude at the time, but around the time I got into college, we went to see this and for some reason bobcat had me doubled up in laugh spasms for a solid 10 or 15 minutes
Zed and Sweechuck are one of my favourite things in this franchise. The best is yet to come.
The men at the Blue Oyster never forced their way upon anyone. It was always classy, consensual dancing.
Watched the Flintstones movie as a kid, the song, the B-52 cover of the theme song still haunts my dreams
Ohhh THAT'S who those guys were😂😂😂 I was too young to know about em
Colleen Camp, who played Kirkland, Tackleberry's partner and love interest, also played Yvette, the maid in Clue. Both Police Academy 2 and Clue came out in 1985.

holy sh i had no idea she was the maid in clue, lol. 8 year old me really, really liked her in that movie 🤣🤣
Ahh yes... Luv hearing Jen laugh!!!😂😂 keep the comedies coming Jen!😅❤️💛
During the scene where Tackleberry is getting the kid out of the car at school, it reminded me of when I was an EMT, we could pick up law enforcement’s radio traffic, and one day a mom called 911 because her son wouldn’t get out of bed for school. It definitely gave us a good laugh.
7:36... The exact moment you won my heart, with the Spicoli comment. 🥰
I enjoy Police Academy films. Each has its charm. I think Mission to Moscow (number 7) is probably the one most people hate, but I would say watch them yourself and form your own opinion, Jen.
Hopefully, you'll share your reaction with us.
Another old cop movie you might enjoy is Cop and a Half, Burt Reynolds
7 has Ron Perlman 😅
I second Cop and a half. Very cute, if a little silly. Burt's attempt at a Kindergarten Cop type feature
Good Afternoon, Jen💜and Let's ALL have some Laughs here today!😂This one is indeed a Fun / Funny follow-up to the
First Movie, with Most of the Cast returning for even more Hilarious and Hysterical antics!👍I'm still Hoping You'll watch
"Police Academy 3"🙏because that's My Personal Favorite...👌
Fun-Fact: Officer Kirkland ("Mrs. Tackleberry") was played by Colleen Camp, who'd also played that Sexy Maid in "CLUE!"
Sax has made a comeback in stuff like synth/retro/vaporwave music. Like Tim Capello once of the Lost Boys playing with groups like Gunship music. That scene homages a lot of 80s stuff so you might enjoy it.
That flip down bed is called a "Sto-away Bed." They were very popular in small apartments that had little floor space.
7:48 Bubba Smith was a great professional football player. He also made several guest appearances on Married...with Children.

Police Academy is a rare series in that it starts with four good movies, beyond those results may vary
This is a great fun film, great reaction too, Jen. The majority of the sequels are great.
As for Bruce Lee films, I'd recommend either;
"Fist of Fury" aka "The Chinese Connection",
or
"The Way of The Dragon" aka "The Return of The Dragon",
please remember though, Jen, these film were made for a Chinese audience so, they're subtitled or badly dubbed with American voices, of the two, "Fist of Fury" has the better dubbing over all.
Don't forget "The Big Boss" aka Fist of Fury. You can skip Game of Death.

The fellow who owned the chandelier store is Tim Kazurinsky who was an alum of both Second City and SNL during the 1980's.
He's always cracked me up. He had some excellent SNL skits.

Turner and Hootch is an AMAZING movie, Tom Hanks and an epic doggo
The Police Academy movies are so crazy you can`t help but laugh.
Not only is 3 worth watching, but 4 is as good as the first.
3, 4 & 6 are my faves
A lot of folks mentioned Bobcat's other roles, but let me mention that Bobcat was Pain, one of Hades' henchmen in Disney's Hercules. Doing pretty much teh same voice.
"Drunken Master " from 1978 with Jackie Chan, is a good, fun martial arts movie. Not Bruce Lee, but worth checking out.
Zed (the gang leader) is played by Bobcat Goldthwait; you probably saw him in Scrooged and/or heard his voice as Pain in Disney's Hercules. Other great comedies featuring him are Shakes The Clown and One Crazy Summer; he also did a lot of standup comedy over the years.

The captain is Howard Hessman who played Dr. John Fever on WKRP in Cincinnati. The series is work watching. Very funny.
The original Police Academy went straight to VHS in the UK but this one hit the cinema and it was the first film I’d ever been where the performance, there was about 200 seats and everyone was in absolute hysterics!
Another lovely reaction, Jen! I was impressed when you recognized Buffy and Jody from Family Affair! I had Buffy and Jody manual alarm clock in my room growing up! ☺
When I saw you were going to do this, I knew I had to watch your reaction, you have the best laugh!
Jen might remember Bobcat as the voice of one of Hades henchmen in Disney's Hercules and in Scrooge as the crazed disgruntled ex-employee with a shotgun. :)
The voice of Pain
Bobcat Goldthwaite has another strange role in the movie "One Crazy Summer" that stars a young John Cusack. It's silly fun, too.
Hi Jen, it's great you're continuing with the Police Academy franchise, I like all of them :) I'm glad you liked this, I had a great time watching you react to it. Yes please react to Police Academy 3 & 4 soon, they're the best of the sequels and are a lot of fun. I love watching you react to comedies :) speaking of which; yeah please check out Turner & Hooch (1988), it's a fun dog movie starring Tom Hanks. Also K-9 (1989) too - detective James Belushi teams up with a police dog called Jerry Lee to take down bad guys. It's a fun buddy cop flick :) I'd love to see you react to those & yeah The Flintstones (1994) as well, a good live action version of the cartoon.
Yay! You're watching the sequels! You're the best! I can't wait to see all these if that's what you're planning. Just know not all of these are very good but they do have an indie 80s charm. Bobcat Goldthwait was a very famous comedian back in the day into the 90s. Even into today but with much more limited circles.
Jen. Bobcat Goldwaith is from the Christmas movie Scrooged with Bill Murray.
Bobcat Goldthwaite (Zed) is a national treasure. Both he and Sweetchuck become trainees in PA 3 (one of my faves) ! Zed and Sweetchuck supercuts on UA-cam are a personal vice of mine.
And, apparently, there are eight _Police Academy_ movies (that get progressively more slap-sticky) and an animated _series._
Jen, you'll love Turner & Hooch (1989). 😃👍
Thank you for continuing this franchise and I would love to see the others as well. Keep up the great reactions.
Citizens On Patrol is a good one, and that's basically where the good ones end (#4)
Fun reaction Jen!
For me personally, the first four Police Academy films are the best of the series.
Bobcat Golthwait never ceases to crack me up as Zed, the leader of the gang.
I love all of your reactions, especially the comedy movies cause your laugh is infectious (in a good way) and it always brightens my day and/or cheers me up!
Keep up the great reactions Jen and many blessings to you and yours.
I enjoy all of the Police Academy movies. Some are much better than others but they're all fun.
@4:20 Arrested Development reference? 😮
Great review Jen. Glad you liked it, I loved it when I first saw it as a kid back then. The guy who plays Mauser(Art Metrano), also has a small role in the Robin Williams movie "Toys", where he plays a security guard. 😊
Bobcat Goldthwaite, the screaming punk and Michael Winslow's sound effects -- doesn't get any better.
classic 80s Jen. Police Academy 4 is my favorite of the franchise.
Sorry I missed the premire, in Montana it's a 90 mile drive to Walmart so a day trip, the comedian is Bobcat Goldwaite.
Haha nice you reviewed this one! 🙂This is my favorite in the series. So many subtle little things that crack me up, like Mahoney sitting in the chair at his slob partner's house and it just randomly breaks 😆 Plus Mauser is a great ahole to root against. Unfortunately, they start recycling the same jokes going forward and the rest of the series kinda sucks imo.
Bobcat was an iconic comedian in the 80's and 90's.
Bobcat Goldthwait was also in "Scrooged" with Bill Murray.
I can't believe you recognised Family Affair with Buffy and Jodi. I haven't seen that show since the 70s.
Bobcat was the voice of one of the charachters in disneys Hercules.
As Pain one of Hades minions
Bob "Bobcat" Goldthwait. He reclaims this roll on part three. He was in "Scrooged" as the drunk guy that got fired. "One Crazy Summer" and "Hot to Trot " that movie has John Candy as a horse name Don. Those are the only others I can think of with him off the top of my head.
I loved the 80s. Watching even these silly movies brings back so many good memories. -- And the world wasn't on fire for a short time back then.
Since Jen is such a music/score enthusiast, a special list that has both amazing scores/great films:
-Ladyhawke
-Mr. Holland's Opus
-Meet Joe Black
-Last of the Mohicans
-Troy
Oh cannot wait for the next one, the third movie is my fav
Police Academy 3 is my favourite in the series, can’t wait to see your reaction to that one.
for Bruce Lee movies Fist Of Fury and Way Of The Dragon.
Also (Dirty Harry 4) Sudden Impact
Bobcat Goldthwaite plays the ATM mugger with the weird voice. He co-starred in SCROOGED (1988). His best movie is SHAKES THE CLOWN (1991) - A kid's party clown with a drinking problem, and people either Love it or Hate it - If you have a sense of humor it's hilarious. A young Adam Sandler, Julie Brown, Robin Williams, Florence Henderson, etc. appear. Please React!
Tackleberry's training officer was the maid in "Clue".
Way of the Dragon is probably the next Bruce Lee movie to watch, Miss Jen. Featuring a super cool fight between Lee and another legendary fighter!
The Gang Leader was in the Christmas movie "Scrooged". He was the guy that Bill Murray fired. He looks so different in the movie but still sounds the same.
Go with K-9 instead of Turner & Hooch ( I realize it's Tom Hanks ) just my opinion
The finale was shot at the abandoned Griffith Park Zoo in Los Angeles
Bobcat was in Scrooged too.
Bobcat Goldthwait was just great as Zed!😂
"TACKLEBERRY"...... LOL! My fave idiot of all time and I've got a lot of time behind me!
This is my favorite Police Academy movie out of all seven. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. The song you want for your playlist is "Dirty Work" by Tony Warren. I don't know about for anyone else but to me it's impossible to get for some reason. I've been trying to find it for years.
"Turner & Hooch" is a good movie, but for a great movie about a dog I recommend "K-9" with James Belushi. It's one of the more unusual buddy cop movies out there.
1:25 The captain needs to move this precinct to the... head of the class.
"What is this guy from?!"
I believe you saw Bobcat Goldthwait in Scrooged, as the fired employee who seeks revenge.
Top picks for more Bobcat and his iconic scream - One Crazy Summer, Shakes The Clown, and Hot To Trot
Bobcat Goldthwait is a comedian, writer, director, etc and was in Scrooged. He also directed a BRILLIANT comedy/prank/kinda documentary called "Windy City Heat" (2003). I dont want to ruin any of it in case you decide to check it out, but its hilarious and absurd. Jimmy Kimmel was involved also.
This is my favourite Police Academy film! The next 3 are worth a look as well.
To this day, I can drop a "Hey! My greengrocer!" and know who I can be friends with based just on their reaction.
14:38 That guy on the right is a coupla Jason Vooeheeses and a coupla Michael Myerses.
7:52 To be fair, Nestle Crunch is a Top-Tier Candy Bar....and ants are high in protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals.😋
13:10 Jen's appreciation for the 80's is endlessly endearing, especially considering she was still Star-Dust back then. 🌠
17:33 That's a Wall Bed, more commonly known as a Murphy Bed (though that's a brand name, like snowmobile vs. Ski-Doo).
20:43 I feel like Carey Mahoney really influenced the character of Jake Peralta (Brooklyn Nine-Nine).
Turner and Hooch awesome 80's Tom Tanks but be prepared to cry
