hongkong666 The first part of the Police Academy series can pretty much be defined as a Comedy classic. Light hearted entertainment, extremely over the top jokes and a great family movie for young and old. Personally I love to see George Gaynes on screen for he was always funny. I'd even go that far and elevate the role of commandant Lassard to be the most important role of them all. If you actually witness how goofy this character is, you will not be surprised about the other characters anymore. Genius minds do work alike!

Eric Stevenson This is the first of many "Police Academy" movies and it seems like everyone agrees this is the best. I was really shocked to find that each one had a lower rating than the last one. It's like in exact order. This is the only "Police Academy" movie to be rated R. It's mostly because there's lots of topless women. No wonder the sequels were so hated.They needed boobies! Anyway, this is nothing but hit and miss. The best joke is probably when the one guy is beating people up only to find they were just taking stuff out of their own apartment. The worst joke was when the guy went in the horse's butt. The guy who does the sounds is really very entertaining. He's so good at it. **1/2

adonis98-743-186503 A group of good-hearted but incompetent misfits enter the police academy, but the instructors there are not going to put up with their pranks. Police Academy is a 1984 comedy film directed by Hugh Wilson, and starring Steve Guttenberg, Kim Cattrall, and G.W. Bailey. It grossed approximately $146 million worldwide and spawned six more films in the Police Academy series. Just like with pretty much everything back then and even now the Original film is always the superior from the sequels because it was something original and for the most part the funniest of them all and this is the case with the first Police Academy film it's not just freaking hilarious and makes you laugh until you can't breath but also the talented behind it alongside the well written and charismatic characters make it a damn good ride and a film as whole. Each gag for back in the day was pretty original and funny and the actors give really great comedic performances such David Graf as Cadet Eugene Tackleberry or Michael Winslow as Cadet Larvell Jones. The fact that Hollywood even thought that they should remake this film is a huge middle finger to the fanbase that enjoyed the Original and even some of it's sequels that weren't as bad as some people made them sound like. Overall Police Academy (1984) is an underrated gold classic that many people to this day love and respect. (A+)

OllieSuave-007 The Policy Academy Trilogy is one of the most memorable cinema work in the 1980s, so, I naturally was hoping that the first movie in the franchise would be a good one.This first movie, about a group of good-hearted but incompetent misfits who enter the police academy after the city's mayor allowed for virtually any one to apply, was just one gag after the other, with little or no plot. The excessive sexual innuendos were over the top and the movie takes a very long time to gain any steam. You might get a few chuckles here and there from the ongoing jokes, but you probably won't mind much excitement or thrills in the action-less plot.The acting, though, was as good as it can be in the film, with Steve Guttenberg, Bubba Smith, Michael Winslow, Marion Ramsey and George Gaynes being the highlight of the show. David Graf's Tackberry character was a little too overzealous and Andrew Rubin's oversexed George Martin character was a turn-off.If you would like to watch the Police Academy movies, stick with the sequels, particularly Parts Two and Three.Grade D-
