Talk:Police Academy (franchise)/Archive 1

Untitled
Does anyone think this should be moved to "Police Academy (movie)", and have this article be about police academies in general? Just a thought. Not that I'm volunteering to write about police academies, I know nothing about them... except for what I've seen in this movie, of course. =o)


 * Agreed that it should be moved, but also agreed that someone should write something about real Police Academies! Could perhaps have this as a redirect page for a while? violet/riga 17:54, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Just noticed that Police Academy (movie) is a redirect to this article - perhaps that should be swapped around?
 * I agree. It would be easy to write a stub for the real thing, but there are many, many links that would have to be updated. Spalding 23:43, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

The best way would be to have the actual (real) police academies article at Police academy and retain this at Police Academy (note the capitalisation). violet/riga (t) 23:58, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, I did that. Spalding 00:41, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

Character sections
Was intending to write some more about each of the main characters, hence the sections. Lost a load of edits when I got a PHP error on preview. :( If anyone has the time/inclination they could continue with the detailing, or perhaps the sections could be flattened. violet/riga 20:14, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Profits
"The first film grossed $81.2 USD in America, with the following films earning $150 in total."

I know they weren't the most successful films ever, but isn't there a thousands or something missing here?


 * I don't know what you're on about ;) Cheers, violet/riga

this is incorrect i have no facts CAPS CAPS CAPS CSAPS

Voices
Are those voices for the TV series or for the movies? It's unclear

Police Academy 8
IMDB no longer references this movie. Has it been scrapped?

Number of sequels vs. number of films
Alright, apparently this is a point of conflict as people keep changing the line of "It spawned five sequels, released in consecutive years, and a sixth sequel, Police Academy: Mission to Moscow, was released in 1994." Perhaps this sugguests that this line should be reworded, but for the argument's sake, let me break it down for those that keep trying to change the number. There are SEVEN Police Academy movies. There is ONE Police Academy (the first one). Therefore every film after the FIRST film is a sequel, correct? Right. Which means that there are SIX sequels to the original. Carface 17:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Edit: I went ahead and reworded the sentence to say "The first film grossed $81.2 million in North America, with the following films earning $150 million in total. It spawned six sequels, with the first five being released in consecutive years, and the sixth sequel, Police Academy: Mission to Moscow, being released in 1994." Hopefully this should be less confusing.
