Comedy-Police Academy

Beta Tape Police Academy Comedy…20016…Color…96 min…Warner Home Video….Starring..Steve Guttenberg, Kim Cattrall, Bubba Smith and George Gaynes….. Be a police officer. All you do is join the farce. The lady mayor of a lalrge U.S. city has thrown open the doors of the Police Academy to a new generation of recruits: anybody who wants to join, without regard to height, weight, age, sex, race, religion or educational background. When you see who shows up, you ll think its a crime. Police Academy is a side-splitting satirical salute to the forces of law and order — the men , women and borderline cases whow dedicate their lives to protecting the public from people very much like themselves. It s also the funniest, sexiest, most irreverent comedy since Airplane! The roll call of D Squad reads like a Who s Who of weirdos. There s Moses Hightower (Bubba Smith), a former florist built like a brick arboretum; Larvelle Jones (Michael Winslow), a master impersonator of machine guns; Jorge Martin (Andrew Rubin), a Latin love who comes, sees and conquers (not necessarily in that order); Leslie Barbara (Donovan Scott), the blimp in blue; Laverne Hooks (Marion Ramsey), Miss Timid of 1984; and Eugene Tackleberry (David Graf), a gun buff who arrives on the training scene loaded for bear. To deal with this class of kooks would require the patience of a saint. Unfortunately, training instructors Harris (G.W.Bailey) and Callahan (Leslie Easterbrook) take a more devilish attitude; wash theses trukeys out, quick, before anyone can mistake them for cops. When a real-life riot breaks out, the recruits of Police Academy graduate to the streets — and even the bad guys die laughing!
