In all honesty, I still joke around about "the Blue Oyster", and a few other gags they had in the first couple of installments. There was some shit in there that was HIlarious.... when I was 14. Ahhh, that Commandant Lessard....
Anyone checked out a Police Academy flick in the past year or so? Do they blow goats now, or is it sill funny? I'm wagering on the goats.
The first one is the only one that was ever any good. I remember one summer, I musta been about 14 too, I watched that thing at least 30 times. A classic in my book.

My brother-in-law got me parts 2 and 3 for Christmas last year (as well as both Ewok movies) and him and I sat up til 3 in the morning laughing at the relative corniness. They aren't bad movies, but Guttenberg is a knob and it's almost painful to watch any scene with Micheal Winslow. You can make a submarine sound. We get it. I also like seeing the "hot" girls in any '80s movie. Outside of Phoebe Cates in "Fast Times..." they're laughable.
I don't think I watched them past part 3 (was that the Miami one, or did I perchance watch 4 of them?????).
The first one, obviously, was the best - a close 2nd in my books to "Revenge of the Nerds" as the finest dumb comedy of the 80s. Man, I was the perfect age for those.
Police Academy was on TV last weekend, which is probably what prompted my initial post. I watched about 10-15 minutes of it. I didn't know that the chick from Sex in the City (and Porky's) was in it. I can't say I ever bothered watching any of the Police Academy films before that. Either that it's been so long that I forgot the entire movie.
