#1 is insane enough to be one of the great screwball 80's comedies, but the sequels became almost literally a TV sitcom with sequels instead of episodes. Like Guttenberg, most of the audience gave up after #3, but the producers went on to 7 & 8, and "Police Academy sequel" became the audience slang buzzword for a studio movie no one wanted.

Amusing, to be sure. In a similar vein: :The Naked Gun: from the Files of Police Squad" which stars the hilarious Leslie Nielsen, of "Airplane" fame.

Steve Guttenberg (Mahoney) stars in Police Academy 1-4. And I love him in each of these movies, no matter how cheesy and ridiculous these movies are. :)
