Police Academy to be rebooted
 
Though it has become somewhat of a clichéd punchline, the original producer of Police Academy is looking to relaunch the storied franchise, according to THR.

Paul Maslansky doesn’t have a writer or a director yet but one can only imagine there’s a strong chance that MANY of the original cast - which included Steve Guttenberg, Bubba Smith, Michael Winslow and others - will be available for cameos. Unfortunately Tackleberry, played by David Graf, is no longer with us.

Quote:

“It’s going to be very worthwhile to the people who remember it and to those who saw it on TV,” Maslansky told THR. “It’s going to be a new class. We hope to discover new talent and season it with great comedians. It’ll be anything but another movie with a numeral next to it. And we’ll most probably retain the wonderful musical theme.”
The first movie - released in 1984 - remains pretty funny and was a huge success. If it wasn’t, it wouldn’t have had those six terrible sequels that ended in 1994 with Mission to Moscow. To restart the franchise and bring it back to its hard R, sexually charged roots, could actually work.

And, worse comes to worse, it’ll teach another generation of Asian kids how to speak English. Wayne’s World, anyone?

I didn't think they were that bad. I mean the first 3 movies were funny. But as you kept watching them it sorta dried out. I also watched them when I was young and anything nostolgic for me always gets a good review!

They're not even so bad they're good- they're just god-awful crap.

Fuck off.... Police Academy is great. The first two flicks are classic trashy 80s comedy.

Anyone see Recruits the Canadian knock off? That was killer and had Thor in it :D

I refuse to fuck off. I never met anyone before who thought those films had an ounce of interest in them.
