Police Academy (1984) Reaction & Review! FIRST TIME WATCHING!!

- čas přidán 14. 08. 2024
- Police Academy was a fairly entertaining film. I did laugh quite a bit since the individual sketches were very funny, but overall, the film had narrative and continuity issues; the scene transitions in particular. The performances were pretty good and the music was great. I don’t know whether it aged as well as The Naked Gun or Airplane, however, I did have a pretty good time with this one. I’d recommend this film for a late night when you’re intoxicated and want to laugh at something that’s not too complicated.

The guy who played Hightower is named Bubba Smith and he was a professional football player
Michael Winslow became famous for his vocal sound effects as a standup comic. That led to his appearance in the Police Academy films and Spaceballs. If you haven't seen his impression of Jimi Hendrix performing The Star-Spangled Banner, you should definitely check it out.
Yes! And he is a real talent for making sound effects. It is a talent he has worked on since he was a kid.
I've seen him live twice. It's unbelievable what that man can do with his vocal cords and a microphone.
He also had a cameo role in Cheech and Chong's Next Movie.
He even provided a lot of the sound effects in Gremlins.
Yes, Michael Winslow was doing all of those sound effects himself. He's a real vocal wonder, and a very talented comedian.
Hooks is probably my favorite in this. I love her character arc. My mom loved Tackleberry and his gun-happy hijinks. This movie has a great ensemble cast of characters.
Between this series, Short Circuit, Cocoon, and Three Men and a Baby, Steve Guttenberg was a big name in the 80’s.
Of course, we all know now the Stonecutters made him a star.
(Simpsons joke, for anyone who’s wondering)
"The Poseidon Adventure" TV mini-series is his magnum opus.
All good movies.
I kinda liked his not so well known comedy movie "Don't Tell Her It's Me". Had fun watching that on VHS back in the 90s.
@@johnlloyddy7016 I remember that. That's he one where he was a cancer survivor. That one was good.
Oh God I remember all those movies.
Michael Winslow was just on one of the talent shows doing his thing. He’s still got man. Apparently he stepped away from acting in the 90s to raise his kids after his wife passed away. He appeared on America’s got talent about a month ago because his son asked him to.
No way! That's pretty much the same reason Rick Moranis quit acting. It's sad for both of them but great to see such great parents.
“He does beatbox”, No he does not just do beatboxing, he is michael Winslow the man himself, the god of sound effects
He returned to the stage as a contestant on America's Got Talent.
My fave is him doing Led Zeppelin without an e-Guitar czcams.com/video/1HHMA1Dpo5M/video.html
“Police Academy 2” is the best of the series. You have to give that one a try.
Love the 1st 2
I used to think so too until I rewatched it and barely laughed... the first one holds up though
3
Agreed!
Part 3 is funny... maybe 4 if your brave and pushing your luck for anything else.
_Police Academy_ still holds up. Every '80s kid knew this movie by heart. More underrated '80s comedies:
👉 _Amazon Women On The Moon_ - directed by John Landis & Joe Dante (1987). One of the funniest movies ever made.
👉 _Real Men_ with John Ritter & Jim Belushi (1987). An '80s deep cut & beloved cult classic.
I could really hope he does Amazon Women On The Moon, and possibly The Kentucky Fried Movie.
Please watch "Short Circuit" (1986)! Also with Steve Guttenberg and G.W. Bailey.
Homer Simpson: "Boy, when Marge first told me she was going to the police academy, I thought it was going to be fun and exiting, you know, like that movie - Spaceballs. But instead it's been painful and disturbing, like that movie - Police Academy."
There was a coherent narrative that drove the movie, and that's is the new mayors directive that anyone can become a police officer regardless of the things that previously would have prevented that. So you see the movie progress as this collection of misfits struggle to complete their training, creating and finding situations that likely wouldn't have happened to a "normal" police cadet. It's all these things and not a collection of sketches...it's the Police Academy.
Yeah a collection of sketches doesn’t makes sense.
How did the reviewer miss the narrative? Its the foundation. We knew it as children.
I feel like the new mayor's directive is more of a premise than a true driving narrative. I mean, the plot is basically "bunch of people go to police academy and then graduate" and you could say the movie itself is mostly just a collection of highlights of the time at the academy... maybe that's what Shan meant by "a collection of sketches". The scenes share a premise, but mostly have little to do with each other.
Having said that, I like this movie and especially like that aspect of the movie because it makes it feel different, though I can understand some people not liking that kind of format as much.
The misfit or underdog overcoming all odds (including racism, sexism, and all kinds of bullies) was a major trope in 80s movies.
See also: Back to the Future, Beverly Hills Cop, Short Circuit, Innerspace, Weird Science, ... one movie even had the title "Against All Odds".
The main characters weren't highly trained or with superpowers, they were everyday people everone could identify with.
Police Academy basically set a standard in the way it puts a funny angle on it while still addressing those issues people today consider 'woke'.
Mostly because of its many beloved recurring characters, this movie got six sequels and a animated TV show.
People also took notice when an actor of this movie passed away:
David Graf (Tackleberry, 2001), Bubba Smith (Hightower, 2011), George Gaynes (Lassard, 2016), Marion Ramsey (Hooks, January 2021)
Shan is treating it as if it were a drama film.
These were so hilarious in the 80s. As a kid, I especially loved the third one the most
Yea part 3 made the concept work for sure, my fav of all of them :)
This, Part 2 "Their First Assignment", and Part 3 "Back In Training"were all good. The franchise started going downhill after that. Part 4 "Citizens On Patrol" was ok, but nowhere near as fun as the first 3.
@@JNewt-gq5lq Agree, however, the sixth one (the Russia one) was a huge improvement over 4 and 5
@@Songfugel We'll have to disagree on that. It didn't hold my attention very well for some reason. Then again, that was some time ago. Maybe I should give it another try.
True story: I grew up with this series and watched them multiple times on video. Years later, I was taking a summer course at Humber College Lakeshore in Toronto. Walking around I thought, "Hey this place looks familiar... If this was Police Academy, Commendant Lassard's house would be to my right." Sure enough, there it was. Looked almost the same as did in the movie. The whole movie is a time capsule of Toronto in 1984.
I like Police Academy 2 more than the first one. It has an actual storyline, and a proper villain.
Haha yeah Bobcat Goldthwait played such a funny bad guy.
this has a story line and a villain as well.
The film is fun, but the cult comedy usually lies in its sequels, mainly 2, 3 and 4 which is a lot more sillier, before 5 and later Jumped the Shark entirely. Would still recommend 2-4 though for a laugh
Bobcat was a wacky fun villain.
Yeah, the strength of Police Academy is its recurring cast of characters.
The first was OK but like many of that time period, the sequels were too many and got progressively worse. True aficionados of the art of cinema will avoid them.
@@mikelarsen5836 Thanks for just off-handedly condescending on everyone in this comment thread... mind sharing a reason or two, why the sequels are so bad? Specifically 2, 3 and 4.
Not going to recommend the cartoon or TV series?
Slapstick humour? My dude, this is nightstick brilliance.
I highly recommend SHORT CIRCUIT!
But not the sequel.
@@tomf3150 Sadly yes
Will be interesting to see his reaction to Fisher Stephens’ character. 😳
I loved Short Circuit 2 as well.
@@tomf3150 I like the sequel.
You are one of these reactors I just enjoy to watch along with, sir. Safly hit the like up front :-) In school, we always had guys wanting to be like that guy with the soundeffects.
This franchise has a law of diminishing returns. The original is goofy fun. The sequels are repeat offenders with the unusual suspects until Guttenberg made bail.
Yeah they do kinda go down the drain, but I have to admit personally that I love 3 and 4. 2 is an OK sequel, but it's mood is so different to the first imo. Plus once they get past this first movie they go all in on the screwball comedy (I mean the original has plenty of it of course) to the point where it's like an Airplane movie or something lol
I think you should check out Time Bandits. So many great cameos and it was written by Terry Gilliam. George Harrison put up the money to have it made
Never knew about George Harrison’s involvement. Cool!
@@rustybarrel516 I believe he sold some office buildings. He somehow got hold of the script and thought " I want to see this movie". He wrote and sang the theme song as well
and Sean Connery, which Shan seems to be a fan of, is in it.
A great movie!
@@EdgeWhyGuy And Ian Holm. I know he loves Bilbo. Plus all the Monty Python guys, Shelly Duvall, and R2D2
I saw Michael Winslow's stand up act about 20 or so years ago. Had a great time. His routine is all about the mouth sounds. Comedians generate great laughs out of their audience. Good times!!
Would have been nice showing the Blue Oyster Bar and the “don’t move, dirtbag!”
And Hooks having fun driving the course
At least he left the Lassard's speech scene.
I grew up watching this movie, one of my favorites. It's sad some of the cast has passed away. David Graff (Tacklebery) Bubba Smith (Hightower) and recently Marion Ramsey (Hooks)
Actually the whole premise of the film, that restrictions were lifted on police recruits and practically anybody could apply to be an officer, happened in several major American cities in the late 70s/early 80s. I guess that explains where we are now in America.
Great movie. I don't how you see them as a series of sketchs I think it has a very clear story. You should see Top Secret 1984
lol. story.
@@schnubbel76 Yes a bunch of guys goes to the police school simple it is not random sketchs,
@@totomomo18 Whatever you say. If you feel like it is a story, i cant deny your feelings.
@@schnubbel76 So I guess for you movies like Revenge of the nerds has no plot just random sketchs of nerds going to college or Animal House for that matter.
@@totomomo18 So you are saying, that what i do think about one film has to apply to the other film as well?
Fun Fact: The car Mahoney "parked" was a 1978 Trans-Am with the brownish/gold Smokey & The Bandit style bird on the hood. The car was painted white because that bird was only used on black and red models. Other '78 models were black birds with red outline and white in the wing tips.
The '77 Trans Am had my favourite design, the black bird with bright blue outline and white feathers. Any of those models from the late 70s would go for about $20,000 which is a sweet deal if you can find one.
Try an other 80s comedy next. A Fish called wanda!
My 4th favourite film of all time after Die Hard, Halloween and High Anxiety.
Steve Guttemberg had some really good movies back in the day, I was a big fan when I was a kid. Cocoon or Short-Circuit were my favorites. He was even in The Boys from Brazil, (about the nazis and Mengele, if I remember correctly) with Gregory Peck or Sir Lawernce Olivier, among other legends.
And three men and a baby haha.
Cocoon and short circuit way better though yes.
Best behind the scenes bit - the sound guy was so used to upping the sensitivity for Hooks’ whispered voice, that when she did ‘don’t move, dirtbag’, it nearly blew the sound equipment (and possibly his eardrums).
This series is fun, crazy, ridiculous, stupid, and insane. One of my all-time favorite series. The police academy series grew It's fanbase over time. It was one of the cult comedies of the 80's era along with airplane, caddy shack, Porkys, Weird Science, Ferris Bueller's, Day off, Coming to America, Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure, Adventure's in Baby-sitting, Fast times at Ridgemont high, Sixteen candles, Pretty in pink, The breakfast club, and MANY MANY more. I've seen all of these multiple times throughout the years.
I see what you did there, and i chuckled many, many times.
KIM CATTRALL IN THE 80s & 90s.
OHH MY.....
@Gerald H THE HOWLER
@Gerald H Oh my god Porkys. That coach, Balbricker? Watched it on HBO as a kid
Wow, this is a departure. The Director is the creator of one of the greatest TV sitcoms in history, "WKRP in Cincinnati". (Here's the most often quoted scene from the series, czcams.com/video/BGFtV6-ALoQ/video.html)
Damn right. Gotta love the mighty KRP.
There are some good clips of interviews with Hugh Wilson on CZcams from the Writers Guild Foundation. He’s a fun story teller and really down to earth. He even wrote the theme song himself and has a good story about the closing credits song.
Best holiday episode ever!
Police Academy isn't a "Cult Classic" it was the 6th highest grossing film of `1984 grossing more than Footloose, Romancing the Stone, Star Trek 3 and Splash!
1984 was a fantastic year for box office hits btw as the top 5 films of that year are Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Gremlins, Karate Kid and Beverley Hills Cop so coming in 6th on that list is no insult!
Police Academy spawned no fewer than 6 sequels with 2,3 and 4 all being if anything better than the first, though it did go downhill later as most franchises do that outstay their welcome.
Cult Classics are defined by not doing well at first but gaining a Cult following over time - Police Academy is the very opposite of a Cult Classic as it's very much of its time and has lost popularity over the almost 4 decades since it was released.
Yea boy I've been waiting for another police academy reaction
I'm excited to hear your take on it since I've enjoyed your reactions for a while now
Saw this movie as a 8 or 9 year old my mom purchased it on VHS with a whole bunch of other movies she picked out... She knew it was a funny movie so she let us watch ..quickly With certain scenes she realized it wasn't really for kids.. I had many questions as a young boy.. The only one that answered my questions,, was my older sister she explained things to me.. Of course I didn't believe her ,,, but she was telling me the truth...lol . this was Sometime in the 80s. it's funny how certain movies bring out certain memories of your past...
If you want to see why Kim Cattrall is called Lassie, check out her first movie outside of made for television movies called Porky's. That movie might be to risque for you, but it still has some hilarious parts in it.
Michael Winslow was the only actor to appear in every Police Academy movie and he starred on the tv show. He got his start opening for Cheech & Chong's stand-up shows in the 70s, his first movie role was in Up In Smoke doing sound effects in a welfare office while Cheech has sex in the office behind him and a crazy old man laughs throughout the entire scene, all one take and funny as hell.
I love watching your movie and TV series reviews. You're smart and understand what makes a movie genuinely brilliant and emotional. Can I recommend "Invasion of the Body snatchers" (1956) and "The Haunting" (1963)? Two of my black and white favourites, made before I was born. Mike G
YES! I have been waiting for you to see this film glad you liked it and found it funny the cast is great.
Police Academy is a 80s comedy classic !!!! Its brilliant !.
Hightower is named Bubba Smith, who I believe was 6'7". Was a defensive lineman in the late 60s and played until about 76'.
Yes the sound effects are real he's known for this used used to do a stand-up routine a little known fact in *(back to the Future 3)* when *Michael J fox/Marty McFly* is doing the moonwalk that's actually *Larvelle*
Kim Cattrall and G.W. Bailey repeat in Mannequin (1987). Kim as the lead role and Bailey as Captain of mall security in similar fashion to Lt. Harris in Police Academy.
This is a movie that can only be truly enjoyed by an adolescent mind. If you never saw it as such, you will likely have a wholly different opinion of it, which unfortunately, cannot be replicated.
Love the channel, Shan. Big fan. Keep up the good work!
Kim Cattrall was in a lot of 80's movie's in Porky's they called her Lassie you'll have to watch Porky's to find out why. Kim's in Big Trouble In Little China, Mannequin, of course you already know about Police Academy. So I think you should watch Porky's because it will have you falling out of your seat with Laughter.
Steve Guttenberg was fairly popular back in the 80s and early 90s. He had quite a run of fun, and even touching films.
I do agree that there where some continuity issues like with Mahoney getting kicked out, but then he's suddenly there when they take the bus to stop the riot, but I guess you can argue that he still followed and kept a low profile despite being kicked out. It's still one of the best 80's comedies and I'm one of the people who grew up with these movies. There are 6 sequels, the 2nd movie was also good and funny, while the others are both hit and miss, but they still had some funny moments and introduced other memorable characters. It even got a cartoon show and a live action tv-series. Before Steve Guttenberg got cast as Mahoney other three actors were considered for the role - Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis and Judge Reinhold.
The city they're in is Toronto, Canada. A popular stand-in for US cities, the city in the movie is supposed to be Los Angeles.
This movie series was so popular with kids, it became a weekly Saturday morning cartoon.
Cinematography, plot, and narrative were not high priorities for most 70s, 80s, and 90s comedies. The short sketches and hijinks based around a simple storyline were pretty much the standard blueprint. These movies whole purpose was just to be a fun 90 minutes or so, and never meant to be life altering masterpieces. Simple laughter to brighten your day.
That's why they are so loved by fans of the genre.
Loved the first 4 of these growing up. Watched them far too many times 😂 Tackleberry, Motormouth Jones and Zed (he doesn't come in until the 2nd one) were my favourite characters.
The human beatbox was also featured in the Mel Brook’s movie Spaceballs. Steve Guttenberg was also good in It Takes Two. My Kim Cattrall suggestion is “Mannequin.”
Back when I was a kid these movies were huge. And I loved them. But watching them now I can't help feeling the same way you feel. Just a sequence of sketches stitched together.
It's really interesting, I saw Police Academy the same way I saw, for instance, Ghostbusters. But Ghostbusters really holds up, whereas PA doesn't.
Was my aunt's favorite movie. Old christian woman could recite it word for word and still laugh to she couldn't breathe. I miss her
I actually saw Micheal Winslow doing stand up comedy. I got up to go to the bathroom and he started making “peeing” sound effects. Guy was hilarious!
I liked this franchise until Steve left the franchise. The black guy that plays Jones is the same guy that was in Space Balls.
I've lost the bleeps, I've lost the sweeps, and I've lost the creeps
@@smokeyverton7981 We've been jammed, Sir! Raspberry, Sir!
Hugh Wilson was the creator of the brilliant comedy series WKRP in Cincinnati.
Great movie and great video. This movie is so funny, I remember seeing this in the theaters when it came out. Keep up the great work
The podium bit is the funniest gag in the movie.
Police Academy 2 is definitely worth seeing for the intricate plot twists, inspirational character arcs and breath-taking cinematography.
Just kidding. But it is really funny!
One of my favorite comedy movies. I like the actor G.W. Bailey. His personality is funny, especially in the TV series the Closer and Major Crimes. I recommend reacting to The Jackal (1997) with Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, and Sidney Poitier.
By coincidence there's a Korean TV series airing named 'Police Academy'. Well, that's a direct translation from the Korean. The official English title is 'Police University' for copyright reasons, one would guess.
This is sort of a common writing style you see in the 70s and 80s for comedies. I theorize that some of these movies were originally meant to be tv shows like police academy. It almost looks like a comedy sitcom. It was not till the 90s that this sort of thing phased out though there are a few exceptions you can still spot once in a while.
I grew up watching Police Academy movies. The 1st two movies were good. I really liked Police Academy 5, which was set in FL and was the first of the series without Guttenburg
Welcome to the world of "Police Academy" You need to watch them all for the full experience. Looking Forward to each of your reactions
All of the cadets have superpowers in their own way
PS Bobcat Goldthwait is in the sequel. He was kinda of a revolutionary character at the time
FINALLY... You are here . I was wondering when you would get here. I love this movie. I figured you would love after viewing "Naked Gun" .
This movie was a bona fide hit in 1984 which it rode to six sequels, a live-action tv series spin off AND a children's cartoon with tie in toy line. But I suppose you can call it a cult film for the small-ish but very loyal following it has in 2021.
Steve Guttenberg had either amazing luck or an uncanny eye for successful scripts in the 80's. Probably both (or maybe it really is the Stonecutters!!!)
For such a vanilla actor...he's not bad in my opinion, just pretty bland with his biggest positives is his cute smile and he's at least a competent actor...for an actor like that it's quite an achievement that 4 movies he was in not just within the decade but in just that same amount of time or less, were successful enough to spawn sequels.
Best Regards!!!
Police Academy is loosely based on a true story.
The Director was at a movie shoot or something when he saw some very bizarre looking people in uniform serving as security. He walked over and asked someone what was going on and he was told that the Police Department was accepting anyone.
Here's a rather off-color factoid about the film. The actress who is in the podium scenes...first with Lassarde and then Mahoney...was actually an adult film actress named Georgina Spelvin, most famous for movies made in the porn chic era of the 1970s. The most famous film she starred in was 'The Devil In Miss Jones'. She had been a legitimate actress on Broadway performing in musicals mainly as a chorus person. Anyway...her character returns in the third film, 'Police Academy 3: Back In Training'.
“Who knows how these things get started?” spoken by the one who threw the apple.
Michael winslow isn't a human beatbox. He did all kinds of sound effects and a lot of voiceover work in hollywood.
I just watched 2 different reactions to a 2004 comedy called .....'Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story'....starring Vince Vaughn & Ben Stiller. I'd almost forgotten about this film. VERY funny & loaded with cameos. In case you want to add it to your list.
Absolutely love that movie!
I agree!
Steve Guttenberg favorites for us are Short Circuit, and Three Men and a Baby. Police Academy were bad movies guys would take you to see on dates. Then they would quote lines from it for months. It was so funny to see G.W. Bailey years later as a police lieutenant in The Closer and Major Crimes!
"It was so funny to see G.W. Bailey years later as a police lieutenant in The Closer and Major Crimes!" now that you mention it, I should have watched those shows for Police Academy cameos.
no blue oyster bar :(
Most of these are set in Chicago, although they don't make a big deal out of it. But you see Chicago landmarks regularly.
Two films in the same genre, made about the same time, is this one and Revenge of the Nerds.
If you want to see why Police Academy is the one people remember, check out Revenge of the Nerds. That one did not age well at all. It is still a geek classic though, worth watching still.
I never realized that it was that Apple that started the riot. LoL 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
You don't know *Steve Gutenberg* he was in everything in the *80's* that means you haven't seen *(Short Circuit 1 & 2)*
That was one of the most popular american comedy in Czechoslovakia after revolution 1989, they even made czech version later.
"Everybody can become a police officer regardless of their background" ...
Well, a mad man and a criminal can become a politician these days..
Glad to see you were able to get a laugh. Was a bit worried about you after my boys gave your arsenal that beating. Lol
hahahaha! we are so screwed 🤣
@@ShanWatchesMovies yea your club has been racing towards the cliff like Cartman chasing a chocolate bar for the last 6-7 years. It's just further proof that successful people can be really dumb. Theres a study from Georgetown University that showed stupid rich people outperform smart people. Its just so easy to fail upwards for wealthy people.
You should watch Kim Cattral in "Porky's". Granted, it's just a minor part. I just want you to consider watching Porky's which started all the high school and college comedies.
"Animal House" spawned them.
Sad how many of these guys are no longer with us.
ya got to check out D>C> Cab. Another 80's Slapstick comedy with MR t and tons of other 80's celebs. Great flick
I bet you will never look at something called the Blue Oyster the same ever again
I immediately heard the music kick in
Vaguely remember seeing this in movie theaters when I was a kid. And Porkys, which I really don't think I should have seen at that age - and I don't recommend you watch it either! And where is the Q and A video?? Hahahaha.
I recommend you check out Stripes. Directed by Ivan Reitman and starring Bill Murray and Harold Ramos, it’s similar slapstick but in a military setting. It also has John Candy and PJ Barr among others. I’d love to see your reaction. Among reactors, I find your commentary to be the most articulate, intelligent and meaningful. I find myself discovering new things and new perspective while seeing it through your eyes.
That's the fact, Jack
It would have been better to see Stripes first, as Police Academy follows the trail laid by Stripes (just not all the way to Czechoslovakia), in a police instead of military fashion. I don't mean to step on any toes, of course.
I loved these movies so much when I was a child
That theme song sounds like an anthem!
Awww no reaction to the Blue Oyster Bar scene but I guess I can understand wanting to steer clear of being seen laughing at it these days.
Another three recommendation for great comedy movies are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990), Ace Ventura - Pet Detective and The Mask. All of them are worth watching. :)
I would never expect you to love a movie like this or ask you to react to it, as some movies you either grew up with or you didn't... this is the type of movie people have fond memories of from their childhood, and you love it because of that. I remember this being shown in an elementary school birthday party on VHS...and most of the sexual stuff went right over our heads at that time.... so watching them through a critical lens decades later as an adult doesn't always make sense or capture the impact it had at the time. Some movies can stand the test of time remarkably, like Lord of the Rings, but this isn't that type of movie. It's a great childhood memory, filled with nostalgia and some very funny and rememberable scenes, but it's not something one enjoys by critically analyzing it. It's like Space Jam. That movie had a huge impact on me and my best friend and made us start playing basketball when we were kids, when we knew nothing about the sport, which lead to years of enjoying basketball. But critically watching that movie as an adult and trying to rate it, is a waste of time.
shan is probably gonna "hate" me for this but its GOO-TEN-BERG even though its spelled guttenberg
They do the bit with Fackler and his wife again in the 3rd movie (or 4th) except he is the one trying to stop her now, lol.
One of my favourite comedy series.
Like Terminator I think the second one is the best
Like people have said Winslow is a marvel at voice impersonation. I HIGHLY recommend watching his shot at America's Got Talent. Like Rick Moranis, another funny actor of the same era of cinematography, he chose to leave Hollywood to raise his family. He tried AGT for a chance to return. His skit was very funny.
Tacklberry's introduction always reminds me of a story my dad told me when he was on the police force. One night they got an alarm call from the Chevy dealership and responded. As they were moving through the dark my dad saw the outline of a big, burly looking form, so he shouted for the man to get on the floor. He didn't respond. He shouted again for the guy to get on the floor, this time shot at him three times and the guy still didn't move. When his partner turned on the lights, he'd been shouting at a cardboard cutout of Mr. Goodwrench. Put two in the chest and one in the neck
That sounds terrible!! A guy could have been killed for not getting on the floor???
Part 3 and 4 are also very entertaining.
