Police Academy

[raptorsfan29]

how many have watched the Movie series, i have watched the first one, i will get around to watching the rest, i did see on IMDB that they are coming out with a Police academy 8. Anyone interested, it's coming out in two years.

I think I saw the first one years ago.  ...maybe the 2nd.

Why would you put yourself through watching those?  There are a bunch of them and they're progressively worse.

I think I watched these when I was young. They were horrible.

I've seen the first five.  They're worth a laugh.

Michael Winslow (Jones) was the bomb.

To tell you how bad the movies were, I was hoping this thread was about a real police academy.

Michael Winslow (Jones) was the bomb.

That's why i like the first one, he's hilarious

I liked Tackleberry in the first one...but Dave's right, they got progressively worse as they went along.

luckily all of them are on youtube, so i can watch for free, for the time being that is.

Funny you mentioned that.  I've noticed that YouTube is really cracking down on removing movies.  About a month ago, I watched Starship Troopers on Youtube.  Within a week of me watching it, it was gone and the user's account was banned.

There are very movies where the squeal was worth making and watching -- Star Wars, Indiana Jones come to mind.

But with the vast majority - Death Wish, Rocky, Home Alone, Naked Gun, etc the sequel was little more than a cheap repeat of the same formula with nothing new.

Seen it? I lived it!

If there is any similarity between the movie and your job than that is really fucked up.

On New Years I had a few Buddies over , one I went through the academy with. We got to talking and I had forgotten about all the kooks we had in that class!We laughed our asses off ! 10 years later and more than half of them are not in Law Enforcement anymore.  Hell......a good Percentage after making it through the Academy were not able to land a Job because they couldn't make it through the Field Training. Thank God for Lie Detector tests and Psych tests because a lot of people in class 101 were not Fit for duty!

i was actually thinking of being a police officer and work up to being a detective, Don't know if there is a police academy in Maine.I am thinking of at least being a summer officer.
