Police Academy was one of the most successful film franchises of the eighties. From 1984-1989, Warner Bros churned out an entry every year, and the movies were all decent-sized hits and giant in video rental stores the entire decade. But how did the franchise start? How did an R-rated comedy about a bunch of misfit, wannabe cops launch a family-friendly franchise? In this episode of What Happened to this Movie, we dig into how Steve Guttenberg’s Mahoney, Michael Winslow’s sound-effects spewing Jones and the rest of the misfit gang became screen icons.

Does the first Police Academy movie hold up well? Let us know in the comments.
