why did whiney get mad abt police academy, doesn't he like it when that guy makes funny sounds with his mouth?

iirc the odd-number movies, up till 5 at least, are pretty funny but the even numbered one (2, 4, 6) suck a dog

2 or 3, maybe 4, I mean they're pretty much on a level imo but Bobcat definitely adds something to the mix.

basically fuck a non-R-rated police academy movie IMO

Wow I haven't seen one of these in a very, very long time.

lol. wouldn't be surprised if they DID get a reboot tbqh.

One of my best memories about the original Police Academy movie is that I went to see it at the theater with my best friend whose dad was a detective and we met a bunch of his cop buddies at the movie. There was something a bit more funny about watching a bunch of old cops laugh at a movie about cops.

wonder what these dudes think abt consumerism vs religion.

Fuck why did I not know that Tackleberry is dead? Deep sadness.

i saw the first one in some leisure centre tv room when i was about 9. they'd put this film on to a room full of under-15s, for some reason.

Reason being it is awesome.

would've been just as happy with The Goonies at that point

No tits in The Goonies iirc.

one minute you're cool with kids doing bible studies, next...

Well rounded world view innit?

A romp involving a bunch of kids trying to procure jewels from a character known as One-Eyed Willy had no corruptive effects on me at least.

4: citizens on patrol. best.

went downhill after mahoney left.

they've been showing all of these on er paramount i think, and for six and seven they've switched to adverts of a kind of 'yes, these are awful but you're going to watch them anyway' line

Pretty sure I saw 1-6. As the release of those installments neatly spanned the duration of time in which I was in elementary school, I matched the ideal demographic for the series perfectly.

I think 4 is the one that started out with an extended street-skating montage featuring the Bones Brigade? I recall thinking that was beyond awesome, so I'll go with that one.

I think I've seen 1-6 :-(

AT LEAST THAT DUDE THAT MAKES THE FUNNY NOISES

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

tried to watch all of these in order one day and fell asleep during five.

we watched V at my 4th grade slumber party and laughed our asses off. My ranking back then went 1-2-5-4-6-3 (3 not really having any jokes of its own, just retreads from the first 2), but I haven't actually seen Operation Miami Beach since to reaffirm its alleged glory.

always disappointed that no one ever gets Blue Oyster Bar references when I make them. I realize the problem is probably me.

Would rather live in a world with no Steve Gutenberg, even if it meant no printing press.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

always disappointed that no one ever gets Blue Oyster Bar references when I make them. I realize the problem is probably me.

A friend once told me she had one of her friends visiting Helsinki, and this guy was like from some small town where there are no gay bars. So they were in Helsinki and they were walking past a local gay pub (called "Fairy Tale", so you can make no mistake about it), and they saw a couple of leather dudes walking out. Immediately the guy started humming loudly to the tune from the Blue Oyster scenes ("El Bimbo"), and she was like, "Shut the fuck up!".

Saw 3 in the cinema whilst on an exchange trip to Nuremberg so it was dubbed into German. The intricacies of the dialogue were beyond my linguistic abilities, but recall enjoying the (undubbed) vocalisations of Goldthwait and Winslow.

I think 4 is the one that started out with an extended street-skating montage featuring the Bones Brigade? I recall thinking that was beyond awesome, so I'll go with that one.

I found it! This was a big deal to me at the time b/c I'd gotten heavily into skateboarding & was reading the magazines and such, tho I didn't yet have access to *real* skate videos (& is wasn't all over television w/ the xgames & such like nowadays), so the opportunity to see the Bones Brigade in action, even in a supercheesy montage like this, was a real treat.

christ i doubt i even understood what was going on in the blue oyster bar scenes when i first saw police academy. they're pretty good-natured really.

xp - o shit, I never knew it featured David Spade, & in a Rat Bones t-shirt no less!
