Nowadays, people who rip on the Police Academy movies forget what they were all about in the first place: just because someone doesn't match up to other people's standards doesn't mean they can't be a hero.

People rip on these movies now? I’m such an 80s kid I guess. These weren’t about having a Christopher Nolan type film. IT was about fun and escape . A reason to laugh for hours without apology. Fuck critics we all have an opinion and none of them mean anything to anyone other than ourselves. I for one am so grateful to have grown up during this time period. It really was the best . We weren’t talking about remakes for a reason.

I hate to be the one that goes there, but I do love the message of the imagery that is showed as the credits rolled. All the VIP's rising and saluting was like saying to this group "congrats, you made it, your part of the club". I always get a charge when Callahan yells eyes right, and seeing the group do it. There is so much there, guys, girls, tall short, different colors, its great when the club gets more diverse. Great job on the actors all willing to do it, and I loved how they all brought something to the scene whether they meant to or not. Hooks looked like "see i can do it", Hightower is like "wow, I made it", tackleberry like "yup, this is what I was supposed to be doing", mahoney like "cool dude".

The subsequent films turned Harris into a buffoon, but I like how in this one he's still fairly competent, and the jokes are at the expense of the entire cast, and not just him. In fact, the last few jokes are at Mahoney and Fachler's expense (including a callback to a joke at Lassard's expense), and Harris is pretty much the straight guy/audience POV character at the end, sighing at what a bunch of misfits he's ended up with.

As many many many of us remember, at Lou's Cafe in Back To The Future, Goldie Wilson was motivating George McFly to standing up for himself by telling him he wasn't going to spend the rest of his life at that cafe, and that he's going to do night school and one day he'd be somebody. Marty brought in that he'd become mayor of Hill Valley. Goldie says he'll clean up Hill Valley as Mayor Goldie Wilson. "I like the sound of that." Me? I'm gonna be somebody one day, too. I'm going to become a private detective and open up my own detective agency. "Private Detective Sam Harris." I like the sound of that.

Welcome to the club. I gag the makings of a great police officer there ever would’ve been, but I never got to be because of some “certain people” I trusted. They weren’t police officers, but I did trust them and they let me down. I know what happened and how. Heck, even the police and the military were and are in my family history and legacy. Note, it’s up to me to prepare it ahead for the next generation as a continuance in the family legacy and tradition and history. It’s what our ancestors would’ve wanted. Even my mother (God rest her soul) would’ve wanted it that way.
