POLICE ACADEMY 1984 🌟 THEN AND NOW 2021

[Music] the police academy franchise consists of seven feature films one live action series and a cartoon despite consistently poor reviews the first three films made a combined total of more than 578 million dollars after inflation the first four movies featured steve guttenberg who achieved mega stardom from it throughout the 1980s along the way the likes of kim cattrell and sharon stone joined in on the ongoing misadventures of the gang of outcasts misfits and just plain unemployable police academy graduates as always you're watching the next episode of how they changed and here are some facts about the beloved movies the idea for the movies came from the right staff producer former maslanski was on the san francisco set of the 1983 movie about the original mercury seven astronauts when a group of police cadets arrived to help with crowd control for a street scene the history of cinema was forever altered when they piled out of the buses to take their posts they were so diverse men women tall short black chinese it was very humorous for me muslanski remembered i asked the surgeon are these all going to be the future san francisco's finest he looked at me and said we've got to take them all into the academy but we can flank him out it started me thinking what if they don't want to be flunked out what if some guy or girl wants to stay in muslansky wrote a two-page treatment that night michael keaton was set to star with dom dallowy's directing by the time the script was finished neither was available producers also wanted tom hanks or judge reinhold for mahoney steve guttenberg beat out some of hollywood's biggest future stars for the part of mahoney in the last throws of bruce willis we found out that willis auditioned for mahoney but he is not the only big-name celeb who tried out for the role michael keaton tom hanks and george reinhold were also considered for the role before losing it out to gutenberg and damn if gutenberg didn't rock the hell out of that bun in the oven t-shirt guttenberg's father was a new york city cop gutenberg's mother eventually couldn't handle the stress of worrying about him and made him quit the police force he then worked at an electronics store at his screen test for police academy 1984 gutenberg wore his father's short with new york police academy on the shoulder michael winslow got the role after opening for count basie maslansky who is also a jazz musician and director hugh wilson creator of wkrp in cincinnati saw winslow perform at the long beach theatre with count basie and hired him immediately basie himself told ms lansken wilson to take care of the young comedian roger ebert really really hated police academy it's really something about road it's so bad maybe you should pull your money and draw straws and send one of the guys off to rent it so that in the future whenever you think you're sitting through a bad comedy you could shake his head and chuckle tolerantly and explain that you don't know what bad is needless to say the movie got a thumbs down bill paxton was set to appear in the second two films holding up the deal was the insistence of the powers that be to pakistan to police academy two and three while that was going on james cameron called paxton to offer him the part of private hudson in aliens 1986. paxton chose to take cameron up on his offer despite it paying half as much as police academy tim kazrenski was only supposed to appear in one scene former snl cast member tim kazurinsky who played karl switchhack originally agreed to work for one day on police academy 2 their first assignment and appear in one scene after the original director jim signorelli was fired three weeks into production and replaced by jerry paris perry said he didn't like most of what was shot except for the scenes with bobcat goldthwait who played zed and the old man in the lamp store kazrinsky apparently paris who also directed the series his third installment knew what he was doing six weeks later bobcat and i were still unset and jerry perrys was saying to us well what do you guys want to do today kazrinsky told the av club it was like the silliest thing of all and we'd say we're in the supermarket and i'll hide in the bananas and both will find me and apparently the kids liked it they had these cards people signed when they leave the theatre who do you like they liked bobcat and they liked the old guy in the lamp store so they had us joined the force next year i was like they want me to be a cop i'm like 50 to 60 years old in this it didn't matter so we were cops in a couple more movies captain harris was so drunk he entirely forgot shooting one of the movies major crime star gw bailey who played lieutenant turned captain harris throughout the film series claimed he was drunk while shooting police academy 4 citizens on patrol 1987 and does not remember it at all i don't have any idea what it was about bailey told tony hawk was fired from police academy four tony hook was dismissed from his duties as the skateboarding stunt double for david spade who made his feature film debut in the film on account of being too tall and unable to hide his face hawke said it was a badge of honor to be fired from such a cheesy comedy hawk recently proved on twitter he was still in the closing credits along with the rest of the skateboarding team the bones brigade michael winslow was the only actor in all seven movies and the live action show david graff tackle barry and george gaines command and lazard were also in all seven movies but having a police academy movie without the machine gun mouth of laurel jones would be sacrilegious winslow is the only actor from the movie to appear in each film of the series as well as the live action police academy the series oddly enough winslow bowed out of plain lava for the 1988 cartoon series but later revisited the character for episodes of taj zero and robert chicken bopper smith dropped out of police academy mission to moscow due to solidarity when smith learned that marianne ramsey who played laverne hooks had been written out of the seventh and currently final installment despite appearing in all of the previous six movies like smith he said he wasn't going to join the 1994 project it was the lowest crossing movie in the series by white margin bill clinton is a fan every time i've seen president clinton he says when he's in a bad mood he turns on police academy gutenberg said no word on whether hillary is a fan he and pill are producing a potential eighth movie keegan michael key and jordan peele have been at work on a reboot of the series for a couple of years their project is rumored to be titled police academy next generation hux's voice was inspired by michael jackson actress marion ramsey developed hook's unique voice after meeting the king of pop in the movie's dvd commentary she described the moment where her character stands up for herself yelling don't move dot bag as catching the sound tech off guard who was accustomed to hook's march me care voice spain has a police academy stunt show next time you're vacationing in madrid you could go to the
