I did some research on the actors who starred in this movie. So George Gaynes (Eric Lassard) was born in Finland in 1917. He moved to France in his teenage years. In 1940s he escaped the Nazi occupation to Spain, where he was captured by the Franco regime and held prisoner for 2 years. After his release in 1942 he wanted to go to the Netherlands to participate in the resistance against the Nazis, but instead joined the Dutch Navy in the UK. Because of his linguistic talents (Gaynes fluently spoke 5 languages), he was assigned the role of a translator in the Dutch Navy. He served on ships which took part in the Allied invasion of Italy and several in naval battles in the Mediterranean. He got honourably discharged from the Dutch Navy in 1946. He moved to the United States in 1946, got US citizenship in 1948. He didn't enter TV industry until the 1960s, but after he did, he made it big. One of his kids was short-listed to represent the US in the Olympics in 1980. Compare all of that - the war service, his linguistic talents, his acting experience, with all these modern shitty pampered hollywood stars. They don't make them how they used to, you know?
@@rotoscopic8757 That's what makes it work. It's the musical equivalent of telling a joke with a straight face, and jokes always land better if you don't crack up at your own material.
I personally think that rebooting classic movies such as this should be illegal. rebooting ruins the original! R.I.P. George Gaines, David Graf, and Bubba Smith.
every entry in police academy was great. I would rather they leave it alone, they would water it down too much with political correctness likely today. This franchise was based of archetypes and a lot of silly humor.
This is without a doubt the perfect music for the Police Academy movies considering that it's very kickass and triumphant to listen to! Add to the fact that it appeared in all of the movies makes it even more iconic and memorable!
"What do you intend to do about Mahoney??!" "Why- what's he done now, Sir?" (Uncomfortable pause, look of extreme confusion) .."He's done...a very, very, *very bad* thing!" :D

This may be the best movie song out there,, certainly instrumental wise. Love it! Sad the ones that have passed... they were part of our lives in the good ole 80's
Sometimes I feel the only person still alive who likes this series, simply because it shows cops as fallible, goofy, *human* individuals trying to do good despite their(many) flaws(and often succeeding), instead of hypercompetent hardcases(Law and Order) or corrupt, stupid jerks(like most other comedies and some real life incidents AKA Ferguson PD).
@@brendanjrice7307 Yeah, cops aren't racist! The thousands of news articles every year about a cop disproportionately assaulting people of color and arresting much more of them than white folk even though they do the exact same amount of crime is the outlier!
This was one of my favorite movie series of all time when I was in Japan!! Thank you so much for sharing!! Have a wonderful weekend!! God bless you all!!
But tackleberry is still alive and well!! I saw him in the movies yesterday. The actor passed away, but Tackleberry is doing great with all his wacky antics!
80s soundtracks were the best.. Police academy, Footloose, 48 Hours, the goonies, Beverly hills cop, Aliens, back to the future, Halloween, Fright night, robocop and it Goes on and on
Most of the humor went over my head as a child but I still loved these movies. I think it's time to rewatch them. They don't make em like this anymore.
Who watched the movie series on a betamax as a kid because it was rated R, raise your hands! Who watched Rambo 2 at the movie theater raise your hands!
I just love this track! The whole movie is great and the soundtrack is terrific :) the characters are fab My favourite are Mahoney and Tackleberry :) they're simply awesome
Just finished this movie, it should have won awards, the this score is just uplifting and beautiful, ha says clowns for cops too ha great though. I hope most of the cast made it through all the movies, the cast was perfectly picked and a great story!
I’m immediately reminded of the soundtrack for Animal House. A Serious sounding score for a movie that’s anything but. I suppose comedy set to a regal score is funny in itself.
Catchy theme song. I always thought Cary Mahoney was so adorable. Love you Steve Guttenberg!! Rest in peace George and the actor who plays Tackleberry I forget his real name.. rest in peace Bubba.
If it wasn't for Lord of the Rings, these movies would still be my all time favourites, but they're a bloody close second. But the theme is still the best around :D
I watched the very first one the first time in I don't remember how long. It was almost eerie when the original theme came on during the opening credits. It was crazy.
When I first heard that Marge was joining the police academy, I thought it would be fun and zany, like that movie "Spaceballs." But instead it was dark and disturbing, like that movie "Police Academy."
yup, about the only episode of punky brewster I remember was when they did that special when that shuttle exploded. I think Webster did a special on that topic also.
So sad that Police Academy 2 to Infinity totally sullied the basic, immutable and unarguable fact that THIS film is one of the greatest comedies of all time. I will NEVER tire of watching the original and the Best!
Police academy is one of best 80s movie of all time we never forget RIP to some other characters but police academy will remain healthy wealthy and successful film of all time we never forget
