Few comedy franchises epitomize politically incorrect entertainment like Police Academy did in the 80s. What began as an R-rated mashup of the decade's basic training-centric movies Stripes and An Officer and a Gentleman became the biggest surprise hit of 1984. It made an unlikely star out of Steve Guttenberg as the charismatic straight man Cadet Carey Mahoney. Similarly, his fellow ragtag cadets became comedy icons, including human sound effects funnyman Michael Winslow, ex-football star Bubba Smith, and the screechy-voiced Bobcat Goldwait. With insensitive sight gags that translated perfectly in foreign territories, Police Academy evolved into a PG-rated brand spawning six sequels, an animated series, a toy line, and a short-lived syndicated television show.
