I miss this show. My family used to watch it every time we went to the park. It's how I learned about the concept of an audience plant as a child, lol.
@@TheWanderers99 Yes exactly! Once you're old enough to understand it, you know exactly what to look out for, but it was a heck of a shock the first time I saw it as a 8-year-old lol.
@@TheWanderers99 His name was always Rodney, from Tasmania. 😆 I also used to watch this show every time we visited when I was a kid in the late 90's, I once even got selected as the child audience member to stand on the road and blow the whistle. 😄 Anyway, of all the times I saw the show, 99.9% of the time his name was Rodney from Tasmania, and the police captain always said to him: "I bet you've never seen so many people in the one place, that you aren't related too." 😂🤣 Guess they changed that last line by 2008. 😆 There also used to be a spot at 17:33 after Rodney and his girlfriend enter the Blue Oyster Bar, where Rodney would fire a pistol out the window above at the robbers, only to have an officer slam the window closed on him and take his arm off. 😆 It would then be somehow magically reattached when he stumbles out later for the explosive tool shed spot. Anyway such a shame this is gone now. When I last visited in 2018, it had been replaced with a bland stunt show with the cars spinning around, a jump or two, and zero storyline or audience interaction. 😢 P.S: The heat from that fireball at the end from the exploding chopper, on a hot Queensland summer day, was absolutely insane. 🔥🥵
@@TheWanderers99haha yes! I visited the show multiple times as a kid: it was Always the same story and i guess also the same person 😂 The set looked exactly the same, Like nearly 100% match. This surprised me the most. But since a lot of years years its not the „Warner bros. Movie world“ park anymore. Now it’s „Movie Park“ totally random.
My friend mad Mike used to work the comedy in the crowd. He ended up at dreamworld doing AVPX when I met him properly and on off days, I used to come into the park and help him out. A brilliant comedian and a great person.
Oh wow I remember him doing comedy as the crowd was loading into the stadium, he was the best!! From memory, he was there for ages. Things weren’t the same after he left.
Here you go, we found the pre-show footage showing Mike doing some of his routine! I have created a new Extended cut version which includes the pre-show that you might be interested in. ruclips.net/video/yJi-2PMA-kw/видео.html
@TheWanderers99 thanks so much. Haven't seen him for ages. That was just before the unpleasantness that caused him to move to dreamworld when I was there. We pinched lurch too. He's a giant of a man but movie world lost 2 great people at the same time. Thank you again. 20 years adds a few pounds and wrinkles sadly
Thanks for uploading this, I saw this show a few times in the mid 90’s. I remember Rodney & those flames were hot! The Gremlins ride was pretty awesome too & the Lethal Weapon ride. Great Timesheet !
Thanks for watching, that’s right the fireball was instant heat for a few seconds! Did you see we recently posted some old footage of the Gremlins ride also! Good times at movie world ☺️
Ah good old Rodney from Tasmania! 😆 Every time I hear that name for the rest of my life, I still hear it in my head in the mocking voice Captain Harris does to him, "Rod-neeey". 🤣 I also used to watch this show every time we visited when I was a kid in the late 90's, I once even got selected as the child audience member to stand on the road and blow the whistle. 😄 Anyway, of all the times I saw the show, 99.9% of the time his name was Rodney from Tasmania, and the police captain always said to him: "I bet you've never seen so many people in the one place, that you aren't related too." 😂🤣 Guess they changed that last line by 2008. 😅 There also used to be a spot at 17:33 after Rodney's first fall, when he and his girlfriend enter the Blue Oyster Bar, where Rodney would fire a pistol out the window above at the robbers, only to have the female officer Lepinksy slam the window closed on him, and take his arm off. 😆 It would then be somehow magically reattached when he stumbles out later for the explosive tool shed spot. 😂🤣 Anyway such a shame this is gone now, it really inspired my love and appreciation of stunt work, comedy, and pro wrestling, back when I was 10 in 1999.😅 When I last visited in 2018 though, it had been replaced with a boring, bland stunt show with the cars spinning around, a ramp jump or two, and zero storyline or audience interaction. 😢 P.S: The heat from that fireball at the end from the exploding chopper, on a hot Queensland summer day, was absolutely insane. 🔥🥵 P.P.S: It's a shame this video doesn't include the crowd usher in police uniform who would direct you to your seat before the show. His antics with Asian tourists would probably be considered racist and inappropriate these days, but as a kid I absolutely adored it! ❤️😆 He would always find an Asian tourist family, offer to take a photo for them with their expensive late 90's camera, then switch the camera with a prop, and pretend to drop it on the concrete, on the track, or find some other humorous way to completly destroy it. 😂🤣 The poor tourists would always panic and freak out, till he pulled out their real camera and returned it to them to laughs and hugs from the tourists. It was usually the last gag he did before the female officer came out to address the audience and start the show. 😆 P.P.P.S: I heard they auctioned off these old Los Angeles style police cruisers a few years back. I definitely couldn't afford it, but I would have loved to purchase one of them. They don't make cars like that anymore. 😢
Thanks for watching! Yep same here, every time I hear the name Rodney it takes me right back! Unfortunately by the time I recorded this I don’t think the crowd usher was doing his act anymore, however good news I do think I have a recording of him doing his routine on VHS which I will try and upload soon!

@@VitZ9Went yesterday and they still have the Tasmania jokes, but just a little toned down 😂
Thanks for posting. This show was brilliant. Shame it's no longer at movie world
No worries, thanks for watching!
I agree the new shows are not as good. I will keep searching my archives for more old Movie World footage.
We also had a Movie world in germany and we had the EXACT same show here as well!
Wow very interesting! Did they also have a stunt person in the audience that would end up in the show? 🤣

Funnier than Police Academy 7.
Haha 😂
22:28 to 22:47 was always my favourite part when it came to Rodney 😂😂😂
Haha thanks for sharing! Yep as cheesy as it was, that sketch was definitely a crowd favourite! 😂
@@TheWanderers99 I doubt cheesy has anything to do with it since it's more than just a crowd pleaser

I stopped going to Movie World when this show ended
Yes the park sure has changed over the years.
@@TheWanderers99bad changes
@@wherestheaudio1 Yes, hopefully some good improvements on the way! 😊🤞
@@wherestheaudio1 not all bad
I only saw this twice. I wonder if the police cars ended up in the hands of private collectors.
I’m glad you got to see the show! :) Yes they had a large auction a few years back. Sadly they sold a lot of MW props including the police cars.
I remember seeing the show years back twice. Rodney has to be a stuntman and part of the show
@@sebtodd-lj3mm Yep he sure was a stuntman! Fooled many of us over the years 🤣 Have you seen the new show that replaced Police Academy, we just posted it on our channel! 😃
One of them still used for fright nights I think
@@TheWanderers99 no I live in Adelaide and haven’t been to the gold coast for over 20 years
Very rare to see to be filmed in HD quality from a video camera in 2008!
Thanks, yes I wanted to ensure I could archive the original show in as best quality I could at the time. Thanks for your comment and watching :)
GIO ninja
Was the guy in the Hawaiian shirt part of the show or some bystander?
Yeah they tried to hide it, but he was definitely part of the show! Tricked many audiences over the years. Did you notice? 😂
@@TheWanderers99 yeah after watching it a bit more of the vid I realized he was part of the show. Cuz no way they would do that to an audience member.
@@kpopfan9832 I thought it was a great gag though. It helped keep the audience engaged and add a bit more humour. I do miss that show!
