Police Academy is a comedy franchise of seven theatrical films and two spin-off television shows. The 1984 film Police Academy followed the premise of a new mayor requiring the local police department to accept all recruits. The film franchise relies heavily on slapstick humor and physical comedy, as the misfit recruits attempt to prove themselves capable of being police officers, succeeding despite their eccentricities. The first four films follow Carey Mahoney (Steve Guttenberg), a repeat offender forced to join the police academy as punishment. The 1994 film Mission to Moscow marked the seventh installment, with cast members George Gaynes, Michael Winslow, and David Graf appearing throughout the film series.
The first film grossed $149.8 million worldwide.[1] While the subsequent films failed to impress critics, they sustained commercial success, grossing $388 million in total.[1][2] Parallels have been drawn between Police Academy and the British Carry On series,[3] for their common tropes of a returning ensemble cast, frequent use of lowbrow humor, and reliance on sexual innuendo.
Guttenberg announced in September 2018 that a new Police Academy movie was in the works after spending years in development hell.[4]
