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.

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?

Those movies were crap. Why bother?

agreed 100%

Crap was the exact word i was going to use.

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.

With age comes wisdom....and NE is brilliant :D

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.

High five.
