Editorial Review:
Astoundingly silly but incredibly popular, Police Academy is the first film in a seemingly endless franchise that takes aim at the men in blue. After a police academy drops all of its entrance requirements, all manner of misfits flood in, hoping to make it onto the force. One of these misfits, a lazy, aimless cadet played by Steve Guttenberg (Cocoon, Three Men and a Baby), was forced to enlist and tries whatever he can to get kicked out. But once he decides to stay, he tries anything and everything to finish his training, even as his drill instructor tries to shove him out. Featuring a wild bunch of strange supporting characters, from a female trainee who speaks below a whisper to a dominatrix instructor to a human sound-effects machine, Police Academy is mindless but fun. --Robert Lane

Rating:  - All Roads Lead To The Blue Oyster Bar
There certainly isn't much light I can shed on Police Academy. Anybody who was old enough to watch a movie in the 80s is familiar with this film as well as it's many sequels(and lets not forget animated and live action TV series. Well, it's probably a good idea to forget the live action series). The story of a bunch of goofballs(let into the academy due to a new rule put forth by the mayor which allows anybody to join) and their shenanigans are stuff of legend. Characters like Hightower, Jones, ... Read More
Rating:  - STILL FUNNY
THIS MOVIE IS STILL FUNNY AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS. I COULD WATCH IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. MAHONEY (STEVE GUTTENBERG) WAS ALWAYS FUNNY AND GETTING INTO TROUBLE AND MAKING THE BEST OF THE MOVIE. HE CONTINUED ON THROUGH THE MOVIES UNTIL THE 5TH ONE. IT JUST WASN'T THE SAME WITHOUT HIM. ALL OF THE HUMOR WAS GONE. BUBBA SMITH(HIGHTOWER) WAS ALSO ONE OF THE MOST SCARIEST ONE BECAUSE OF HIS HEIGHT AND HE COULD SCARE OTHERS AS WELL. TACKLEBERRY WAS HILARIOUS BECAUSE OF HIS GUNS AND SO WERE SO MANY MORE. I GIVE ... Read More
Rating: - Sequels are Better
I watched Police Academy Two and Three before this one. I was disappointed with some of the sensual humor, and then later realized it was rated R. I had assumed it would be rated PG like the sequels. Also, I didn't think it was as funny as Two and Three. Don't get me wrong, it contained the classic Police Academy humor, but it took more time getting the action going due to the introduction of the characters, whereas the sequels got the characters immediately into action. So, in the case of Police ... Read More
Rating: - Police Academy (20th Anniversary Special Edition) ~ G.W. Bailey
Police Academy (20th Anniversary Special Edition)~ G.W. Bailey is the only good movie of them all. Guttenberg plays an amazing role, and the script is not as paper thinn as the rest of the sequells. This makes the rest of movies look look the winner of the nobel prize. The dialogue is not as horrid as the later sequells either but is kind of well developed. I love tackleberry the Vietnam craze and all the other steroetypical charachters in this movie. I also love the blue eyester bar scene. The rest of ... Read More
