*This was recorded before Matthew's visit to the ER, so he isn't exactly "back" yet (no pun intended😏 ).*
He is doing okay, still hurting some but overall he's making it.
Thank you all so much for all the kind words, thoughts and prayers. It means so much to both of us!
That being said, I wanted to apologize upfront for the quality of this video:
Somehow we managed to record our vocals and the movie audio on the same track, so I editing was a real struggle. 😓
Then we kept getting copywrite claims so I had to put the crossbars on. Uggghhhhhh... But it's cool, it's up now and I hope you still manage to enjoy it.
Cheers and much love,
Emily 💖
Didn't notice.
Thank you for this reaction, another great one🤣😂. Hope you're doing more Police Academy reactions in the near future. Matthew, get well soon (handing you an imaginary fruit basket) 👋
George Gaynes played Punky Brewster's adoptive father in the 80s original series
@@adamclifton29 R,I,P... hooks, Hightower, Tackleberry and all the others.....
Back yet. Ehl oh ehl. I love it
"Oh, God, it's a leather bar!" Oh, dear sweet Emily... it's THE leather bar.
And the best salad bar in town!
Dancing sir...mostly dancing🤣
Fun fact: we have an actual seafood restaurant in Houston called The Blue Oyster Bar
That bar is actually the Silver Dollar Room in Toronto
@@LuisDiaz-zr2vs tossed?
During the early 2000's, I worked as a pool-table installer and got to install a table for Steve Guttenberg at his Pacific Palisades home. He is a very nice guy in person, and had a lot of unique and humanitarian awards; one that struck me as neat was Honorary Mayor of Pacific Palisades. After finishing the table install, he invited me to play a round of pool to test out his new table, making him the only customer I ever played pool with.
It's easy to be a nice guy when you are rich.
@@azazello1784 Being nice is free you know
@@azazello1784 Hm no it is great when they stay down to earth.
RIP Hightower, Cmdt Lassard, Hooks, George, and Tackleberry. Some true talent left us.
The podium scene(s) are hilarious.
Mrs. Fackler too, sadly.
Jesus, I knew about Lazard and Hightower, but hooks and tackle berry too?
@@brianlogsdon4824 Yeah...Hooks was recent. Tackleberry was 20 years ago...
I didn't know about Hooks! 😢May they all rest in peace! 🙏
@@stefaniate Sadly, Mauser´s just joined the list... RIP.
Rest in Peace to the lovely Marion Ramsey, who played the cute, sweet, but dangerous Officer Hooks. We lost her at the start of this year, but I absolutely adored her role in this Movie Series.
She based her voice in these movies on Michael Jackson, who wasn't pleased when he found out, he didn't see the funny side.
Nooo....I had no idea she had died....that's a shame. I hope she is Resting in Peace.
Oh my god I didn’t know until I read your comment yes indeed RIP I grew up in the 80’s she was one of my fav characters this is such sad news😢
Oh no. I didn't know that.
Hooks was always my favorite, I always wanted to protect her even as a kid...then the flip when she finds her voice is the greatest thing. It hurts just like when we lost Tackleberry and Hightower.
A bit of movie trivia pointed out to me recently: During the shotgun training range where (I think it's) Cadet Barbara accidentally shoots the cutout of the little girl, then sweeps the cadets behind him? The only one who didn't duck was Tackleberry (because as a gun...we'll say 'afficionado', he was paying enough attention to see that Barbara hadn't racked a new shell, & therefore knew the gun was safe (relatively speaking. Hahaha)). I do enjoy the little attention to detail...
Nice catch, I noticed but assumed it was because Tackleberry was a * a little crazy * lol
@@grantisshananaa4906 I can't take credit for noticing it on my own. A friend of mine pointed it out to me...
Glad I'm not the only one who caught that- he even "shakes his head" at everyone ducking- because they don't have to and are acting like scared children.
@BPhillipdDrummer: You're correct, it was Barbara who accidentally fired the shotgun at the wrong cutout
Another piece of trivia is that prior to filming, all of the actors actually trained with a real police academy in all of these tactics, Kim Cattrall being especially proficient on the firing range
Steve Guttenberg had pulled a few strings himself to go through the same training as his father was a police officer himself
Played *'The Blue Oyster Bar'* music at a wedding once. Every man and his suit was on the dancefloor. The ladies just sat laughing their asses off! 🤣🤣🤣
That is hilarious
Doing it right!
I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall for that one
I'd be on the dance floor but I'd also be trying my best not to crack up lol
The blue oyster bar music when they start dancing make me laugh every-time
Someone just needs to hum those first few bars and I'll chuckle to this day.
Me too.. I once had it as my ring tone!
@@disconnexionsdotcom might be time to bring it back
@@TarossBlackburn I always do the scream when I hear it.
@@disconnexionsdotcom that, my friend, is golden!!
That is Michael Winslow doing those sound effects. Still does today!
And he's still as amazing as ever
He was in Spaceballs too, which they've watched, the random Spaceball radar technician
I remember first seeing him in "Cheech and Chong's Next Movie" which came out before Police Academy. He appears in the welfare office scene, during the part when Chong is waiting in a room with others while Cheech is horsing around in the back with "Donna."
@@skyden24195 Met him in Lon around 10 yr ago , its virtually impossible for him not to be funny , lmao (just meeting him gives you a chuckle)
The 1980's is the greatest decade ever.
@War Pig, "The 80's & the 90's were the greatest decades evah!!!"
Certainly for comedic films.
If it was possible to like a video before even clicking on it I absolutely would have as I read the title. I have been PRAYING for this series to come up on anyone's channel because it trends fast and I'm glad you're the first ones
YES nobody has hever done this one before. This is a great submission. This movie is way dirtieer than you think is academy I love it
Last summer on lockdown I rewatched the whole series (last watched a lot of them when they were new-ish) and was surprised at how consistent they were until the last few when Gutenberg finally left
It was meant to be more lewd and raunchy, but the director kept insisting that they toned it down and several scenes were not shot, but were added to later movies. The scriptwriters kept clashing with the director about the lewdness and almost quit.
4:55 "Dang, she needs to join the Academy." Wait til you get to the 3rd movie.
Marion Ramsey actually got her Hooks voice based on a personal meeting with Michael Jackson and was taken back by how soft spoken he was.
I always loved that low "Oooh shit..." when Hightower stood up.
The King of Norway thanks you for a great reaction.
Police Academy was a staple of the 80's, top ones were from I to IV. Police Academy V (Miami) was the only one I watched in cinema. Other franchise in the same style was _Revenge Of The Nerds_ . Who doesn't remember _Back To School_ (1986)?.
I think Back To School is right up their alley.
My mate Chris and I rode my bike to the theatre literally daily to see 3 the summer it was out- it was the first one to be rated pg. (I'd already seen the first two on VHS, since my friend's parents let him watch R rated movies). There were fewer tiddies but it was still a riot to 12 year old me.
I’ve only seen the original. Got
the impression that the sequels were just cash grabs that weren’t as good
@@lanagievski1540 The original is the best, but the next three have their good moments as well. They introduced some classic newer characters and have some of my favorite Police Academy scenes in them. Anything past #4 is hot garbage.
Saw this and clicked immediately for 3 reasons. 1) Loved the movie. 2) Emily's contagious laughter. 3) I subsequently went through an actual police academy program. Loved your reactions!
Michael Winslow as Larvel Jones steals almost every scene with his sound effects.
Yeah, that guy's incredible.
I'm too poor to be a Patron, but I'd love to see his scene in Cheech and Chong's Next Movie (as well as Paul Reubens' performance as he's also really good in it too. Also Paul Reubens was great in 'Blow' too if the crowd wants to go serious one week.)
FR tho Michael Winslow is in Next Movie for ~4 of the most confusing (but hilarious,) minutes ever filmed.
His Jimi Hendrix impersonation in part 6 is hands down one of the funniest and most impressive impersonations I've ever heard.
The guy that Hightower drove into the back of his car in the learning to drive scene was the director.
The person that was suppose to do that scene was too drunk to do it.
Steve Gutenberg showed up to the audition in his dad's NYPD uniform to get the role of Mahoney.
Also, most of Police Academy was filmed in Canada.
My Dad always read Roger Eberts column. He knew that if Ebert hated it, it would be a good movie.
Truly a wise man, your father.
Tackleberry at the gun range... "come with me..." , (goes off the chain) 🤣🤣
Dude, when Tackleberry blasts the one cutout several times from behind it, kicks it out, then stomps out of the building himself, my favorite part of that scene/sequence!
To this day the Blue Oester song is still engraved in my mind. Everytime someone says some a little gay we send the theme song of the bar for them in our group chats.
10:28 Tackleberry is the only one that doesn't duck and cover because he knows the shotgun wasn't pumped with another shell to fire after the accidental discharge.
😁😄😆😂🤣Emily has such an infectious laugh! My father was a police officer and brought us to see this opening weekend based off of radio advertising not realizing what it really was. . .as we found out in the opening credits: A comedy classic!! I envy your first time experience with this. *In my opinion* only watch up to Police Academy 4: Citizens On Patrol. Without Steve Guttenberg, the last three entries suffer a lot!
7:00 judging by the facial expression, I'm guessing Callahan made teenage Matthew happy 🤩
Callahan made many teenage boys happy. I had a crush on her when I was young.
Certainly made me happy! 😍
@@BrickNewton Especially with her wet tee shirt scene in PA4!😛
Leslie Easterbrook brought much joy to young me and my brothers.
now THIS is exclusive content...the only PA reaction anywhere! And Emily won't be shocked to learn that during sneak previews, after the infamous podium scene, the director reported that dialogue couldn't be heard into the next scene for a full minute, the laughter unstoppable. 🤣
I loved Matthew's calm exterior, even as Emily just collapsed into uncontrollable giggles.
And it's always a joy, to see Emily's joy, at the appearance of " you know what! 😁
Yes. Someone reacted to police Academy, only got 6 more to go. Lol. Now you need to do[ Short Circuit ]
Lassard is such a loveable autist. "I'm trapped here?" "Oh, we all are."
Goes existential at the drop of a hat like a true asperger brother.
Notice how Tackleberry doesn't duck when Barbara accidentally points his rifle at the crowd? It's because he's a weapons expert and he knew that rifle couldn't fire again without being pumped.
That's a nice detail.
Fuck I've always seen this but never really "noticed" it.
The Blue Oester song is so iconic and all the stereotype leather rocker or cops are really funny. After all these years it is still super funny. Especially that whoever enters the bar the song just plays immediately :-D
You have made the "Blue Oyster Bar " a joke again . Bless you .
I know Matthew may not feel much like smiling right now, but I loved the fact that he was trying so hard not to laugh so Emily could catch the jokes first. I love all the Police Academy movies. I hope you do more. Get well Matthew!
Another development from the series, that was not mentioned, was a series of action figures.
I wish more people reacted to Police Academy movies, but I am very happy you guys did it.
Lassard is my favorite part of this movie. He's just kind of out of it, when the Chief said everyone had johnsons, Lassard says "and what a lovely sight it was..." with a confused look on his face, when he's all exasperated in front of Harris trying to say what Mahoney did but being too embarrassed, then just asking if he can go..
The sequels might be bad but the first movie is GOOD.
When I was a kid there was nothing funnier than Airplane!, National Lampoon’s Vacation and Police Academy.
Add Blazing Saddles and that'd be the comedies my family watched over and over as a kid. All of them are superb.
Bad Medicine, Revenge Of The Nerds, Weekend At Bernie's, Back To School, and lot more…
I walk through that Police Academy every day. Its actually a regular college but it's fun to imagine all these characters hanging around.
The Amazing Leslie Easterbrook. Sgt Calahan is the reason I always respect physically strong women. Even though it was in a comedy, if the lady is capable, she gets the respect. I was 5 years old and caught it late night on HBO back in the day.
HA! I first watched this movie in 1984 in the theatre (was 14 back then and was old enough with Canada's 14+ rating system). I've watched it multiple times since then and know all the jokes inside out...
But you know how they say laughter is contagious--- I was killing myself laughing tonight along with you laughing at this great comedy! Loved your reaction!
Confession: I've see Police Academy IV: Citizens On Patrol a lot more than any other PA movie, because it was always on cable TV when I was growing up, and I mean ALWAYS!!!!
Citizens on patrol trol trol trol :D It was the same in the UK, it was the one that was always on for some reason.
All Police Academy films were cable tv's staples back then.
I must've watched the 5th one, Miami Beach a hundred times when I was a kid. There was just something about that movie that I absolutely loved.
@@rickylyon3846 Yes! That 5 and 4 were cable TV staples when I was growing up.
@@jkhoover Cattrall , Sharon Stone , Janet Jones and Leslie E......zoinks :p
That was the must delightful collection of "Emily laughing" so far. Bless you guys. ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜
The guy who played Lassard is named George Gaynes. He is also best known for playing Henry Warnamont in the TV show Punky Brewster in the 1980s.
Yep, and he's my favorite actor in the film "Altered States."
And he's Fantastic in "Tootsie" too... "Does Jeff know??" Lol
@@mcgilj1 That should be the next reaction video! "What do you mean _'How could I have let him up here?'_ he was *singing!* 🤣🤣🤣
@@PhantomFilmAustralia such a wonderful supporting cast.. Coleman, Lange, Gaines, Murray, Garr, Durning.... And on top a very young topless (lol) Geena Davis... Amazing cast.
@@mcgilj1 Don't forget director, Sydney Pollack as his agent! Hoffman and Pollack scenes were gold.
I have no idea why the scene where Les joins Dorothy on the love swing, sits down and breaks it, cracks me up so much?
Or when John is invited up to 'Dorothy's' house, the way he scadoodles off the street with that grin?
The subtle things (for me) have the greatest impact. 🤣🤣🤣
The fact that I watched this movie so much as a child is the reason my humor is the way it is as an adult.
FYI - The lady who played Hooks just passed away a few months ago. Hightower and Tackleberry years ago as well. Captain Lesard (sp?) was played by George Gaines who was known as Henry in Punky Brewster TV series (he also passed away a few years ago).
Emily - "Dang, she outta be a police officer'
Me - "spoilers...'
The only thing is the best line is from the edited for tv version. When asked what to say to a burglar Takleberry says “Drop that stereo before I blow your gosh darn knees off egg roll”.
Definitely one of the funnier edits I've ever heard.
Emily, your infectious laugh is, without a doubt, the best part of these reaction videos. You make these movies so much fun.
Welcome back Matthew, I hope you're feeling better.
The biggest laugh this movie got out of me waaaaaay back when I saw it in the eighties as a kid was the part where Mahoney is casually drinking the beer while staring at the showering female cadets, Harris busts him and takes the beer. He then leans over the rail and really looks, like he didn't realize what Mahoney was doing there, the women start screaming, and Harris tries to do this forced casual stance that fails miserably. He tosses the beer and runs away.
I don't know why, but the actor's attempt at looking casual sent me into giggle fits for like ten minutes the first time I saw it.
Because of all the far less funny sequels, people forget what a comedy gem this first one was.
God I love this film so much, they used to show the cleaned up version on Saturday afternoons when I was little. It’s 1:30 in the morning here and I’m crying with laughter in to my pillow so I don’t wake the wife next to me! 🤣. I had the music from the Blue Oyster as my ringtone for a very long time in the mid 00s. It was fun seeing the ones that knew the tune smile when it rang while out shopping. 🤣🤣 There’s to many moments to pick from for me.
All of the Police Academy films are great, never gets old 😄
They really lose a lot of their charm after Gutenberg left the series. The guy they got to "replace" him wasn't nearly as funny. Personally I stop watching after Part 4.
I watched this recently and it has got very old.
Are u sure about that?
@@Thundarr100 Eh, he was ok. Definitely not on the same humor level as Guttenberg though. He's great on those Hartford commercials though these days (yep, that's him).
@@alucard624 Like I said, not nearly as funny as Guttenberg. I'm not saying that he was terrible, just that Guttenberg was SO MUCH better.
I snuck out in the living room in 80's, when my parents and My Aunt and Uncle were over watching this for the first time! They watched it on VHS. I watched this out of the corner of my eye. I was so little!!!
One of my absolute favorite movies growing up. This, Ghostbusters, and Revenge of the Nerds
I'd like to see what Emily makes of Porky's. The podium scene reminded me of the way that the slow-burn scene in the principal's office always kills me whenever I watch Porky's. That one long shot is a perfect example of letting an extended, unedited take build the comedy and relying on the actors' reactions create effortless comedy out of basically nothing.
If that isn't in the top 5 funniest scenes in the history of the cinema...then you need to replace the judges on that survey.
Honestly, I would watch a 2 hour movie of Michael Winslow and still not be satisfied.
Funny man. The only issue, I saw his stand up show about 10 yrs ago, it's almost all the same material from the movies.
When i was a kid, every now and then we watched it with whole family or just with my gran and grandpa . Brilliant film.
I saw Michael Winslow live in the Mid 80s, he really is THAT GOOD.
Tackleberry and his guns, It is hilarious when the audience gets to actually meet his family. EVERYTHING suddenly becomes clear as day.
My dad and I would go watch these everytime a new one came out. It was our guys day out.
George Gaynes (Eric Lassard) was in the 1982 movie, Tootsie. And in the 1984 TV show, Punky Brewster.
the way she is beside herself thru this entire movie is just so sweet to watch😁
Lassard's reaction to the shoe polish has me scream-laughing every single time. I'm surprised it didn't make the cut.
Hey so it's 1am in the UK and I came to RUclips looking for sad songs and found this in my recommendations (I'm subscribed) and it's what I really needed. So thanks for this, and also sending love to you both, I hope Matthew feels better ASAP and all goes well with the physio and all that. Very best wishes to you from over here.
Thanx for reminding me how good the first Police Academy was. The first one is the raunchiest, but the ones that follow are pretty decent too. It’s the franchise that made The GUTE super famous ☺️👍🏽
Lassard was played by George Gaynes - he also played a guy called Henry who adopted Punky Brewster. :)
The Lessard podium scene where you two just cracked up was AWESOME! The first few in this series were AWESOME!
My favorite scenes were all of the "This is the house. I am the burglar." moments.
You know, I have seen Emily dying from laughter several times (who put that crab there? there were two of them, they always work in pairs!) but the podium scene is the first time I've actually feared for her life. Glad you enjoyed this movie. Keep up the good work, guys, and get well soon, Matthew.
Welcome back guys 💙 glad you’re doing better Mat
I thought Emily was going to die laughing during the podium scene. hahahaha
Before I even clicked this video, I knew Emily was gonna like this for a nice pair of reasons.
The Commandant Lassard podium scene is one of the funniest scenes committed to celluloid. The change in his voice as things develop is hysterical.
Your reaction to this classic comedy....was absolutely PURE GOLD! LOVED IT!
The first 3 movies were definitely the top for me and were 100% part of my childhood. Older and with better grasp of English, they are even funnier than 35 years ago.
Also man Kim Cattrall was so unbelievably beautiful! Not to take anything away from her performances. I liked her in everything I saw her in the 80s. Even in the 90s, who can forget her as Valeris in my favorite Star Trek movie!
I have been waiting SOOOOOOO long to see y'all react to this movie. The rest of the sequal is great too. Now, when you get back to reacting, check out "Porkys"; Emily, youwill LOVE that movie. If you can't wait for Mathew, a solo reaction to Porkys by Emily would be hilarious.
I'd pay money to watch her react to the Principal's Office scene in Porky's!
great idea! Porky's movies are awesome
They will have to do a lot of heavy editing for porky's there's a ton of nudity and sexual scenes but it's funny as hell and it's a classic I love it.
Porky is a franchise I never liked, even today I find it utmost disgusting, all three films. Revenge Of The Nerds' and Police Academy's franchises are hell superior to Porky, and highly rewatchable too.
@ Revenge of the Nerds doesn't hold up at all, sadly. Especially the "main character rapes the popular girl" climax (so to speak).
It warms my heart to see Natalie find her happy place😁
Rober Ebert has been wrong on multiple occasions. Siskel too. I don't feel like getting started. Suffice to say, as a slasher movie fan, I take issue with a lot of their BS.
I mean, they were right about PULP FICTION and HOOP DREAMS...but man, were they wrong a whole lotta times.
Oddly enough, Siskel was dead-on about SPEED.
@@ericjanssen394 Yeah, there were. Though as professional critics, I would have appreciated it if they treated every film as its own and not dismiss certain genres outright. Even a low-budget cash grab can surprise if given the right elements. Everyone has preconceptions, but the ability to put them aside is a useful tool.
Joe Pesci made the exact same speech as Hightower at the Oscars.
The way your eyes lit up when you realized what the Blue Oyster Bar was.
Sensational! Just the beginning of a great franchise reaction. LOL! Good to see Matt recovering okay. Have a wonderful weekend, guys. 😊❤
It's so nice seeing other people react to movies I loved as a kid!
Twice the sentimental ringtones for me, since it was shot in my hometown of Toronto. As a kid, I loved sneaking a viewing of it when it came on "late night TV"... for certain reasons.... lol😉🤣
Oh yeah, HBO after 11:30 p.m. parents in the other room, sound down low, he he, tiddies!
Micheal Winslow is a gift to humanity.
This guy did and still does, On man shows and stand up, his material is great.
LOVE the Police Academy movies!! #3 is perhaps my most favorite so please add it to your master list!! Keep up the great videos! Keep hanging in there Matthew! 🙏🙏
RIP Marion Ramsey (aka Hooks from POLICE ACADEMY). RIP Bubba Smith, George Gaynes, and David Graf.
Yay! Been waiting for this one. Movie’s flipping hilarious. Love y’all’s reactions...
And I just noticed your signs in the background. Love it 😀
Finally, someone reacting to Police Academy!!!
Hoping that Matthew is mending fast and feeling much better. ✌💯😁
Tackleberry was the other member that was in all the films of the series. And definitely was my favorite of all the characters.
With Emily's sense of humor, she could have written the script for this movie.
Loved watching this with my father back in the 80s LOL Good times!! RIP Pop
I love how you cat puts its paws over her cushion thing so cute
One of my all time favorite comedies! CLASSIC
RIP Marion Ramsey ( Hooks )
I was genuinely not expecting this but I am all for it. Veeeery good choice y'all!
How the heck did this video get lost in my subscriptions? So looking forward to watching this. Classic 80's comedy.
Ahhh the classic." IN THIS NEXT...SLEEEYYYD!.... WE...SEEEEE....OUR...MAIN BUILDING!"
The podium scene is sheer genius! Never gets old! This is a great movie but the sequels are not to the same high standard.
The fact that you two know about good bad flicks tells me I'm in the right place. I knew you two would enjoy this movie. 😎
