On the project “Police Academy” (1984 film), actors, screenwriters and directors still could not know what kind of fame this comedy would bring them. The creators of the picture showed the audience a sample of entertainment tape for family viewing.
about the project
In the comedy “Police Academy” (1984 film), the actors embody the director’s task to show the police with a “human face”. It is now difficult to judge the customer of such a topic, but the US government often used cinema to reconcile society with its security forces. In the same way, a number of films embellished the American army. Now, probably, the goal was set to popularize local law enforcement.
The budget of the comedy at that time did not distinguish this film from the rest of the thousands of the same works in American and world cinema. The relatively modest $ 4.5 million dollars did not at all guarantee the producers and the director a huge success at the box office. It is unlikely that the creators of the picture could then suggest a stunning upcoming success.
The reaction of the audience after the premiere will force a few more sequels to fit the continuation of the story of funny guys from ordinary citizens in police uniform. Only in the fifth film did it become apparent that the idea had fully exhausted itself. But the ancestor of the next few sequels, "Police Academy" (film) was sorted into catchphrases. Individual episodes retold by viewers around the world.
Steve Guttenberg
The cadet Mahoney will play in the comedy, and over time the mere mention of this name among viewers around the world will cause a smile. His role will be not only the main, but also this character will largely determine the success of the picture at the box office.
Guttenberg not only became the key to success at the box office, but he also received from his participation in the comedy quite good "dividends" in his career. After filming the film "Police Academy" (1984 film), the actors will still live a successful cinematic life. Among them, Steve in the comedy genre will be especially successful.
Steve Guttenberg was born in 1958 in a successful and educated family, he is a native of New York and he received a good education. His parents were very respected people in their profession. Dad was a successful and sought-after engineer, and mom, as a medical worker, assisted surgeons in the operating room. Such parents took care of a good education and upbringing for their son.
Guttenberg's main role
On the project “Police Academy” (1984 film), the majority of actors still did not have much experience in cinema. Guttenberg, the leading actor, will not be an exception. At the time of filming, he managed to appear on the big screen in only a few small projects. Those 8 films will not bring him much popularity or recognition from colleagues yet.
But at the age of 26, he receives an invitation to play a non-mercurial rebel in the ranks of cadets, who were accepted by the police academy, the 1984 film will be truly fateful in his career.
Steve made his debut on the big screen at the age of 19, the young man quickly got used to the comedy genre. And after that, he almost never made any noticeable attempts to get out of this role. The only change comes down to the fact that films with his participation were already more family than comedy.
At the moment, the actor has almost lost his former popularity, he is now 59 years old.
Michael Winslow
For him, the first tape and subsequent sequels about students of the police academy will be the most glorious episode in the cinematic career. Now the face of an actor in the world can be recognized by this role alone. Winslow played the closest friend of the protagonist among the cadets of the Academy.
His dark-skinned character with the legendary Mahoney will also be one of the main secrets of the success of the tape at the box office.
After the premiere of the film “Police Academy” (1984 film), the actors and roles in it remained under the scrutiny of viewers and critics. It was Michael who gained particular popularity, his talent was appreciated by millions of fans of the picture.
But in terms of his acting skills, the guy was hardly distinguished from other partners on the set, but Michael could rely on his most obvious talent. It is this quality that will bring him fame.
The guy phenomenally accurately reproduces various sounds and human voices only by the power of his voice.
