In general, all of the movies and television shows depended on low-brow humor, usually based on simple characterizations and physical comedy. As with many similar movies, the theme was a group of underdogs struggling to prove themselves while various stereotyped authority figures tried to suppress them. The films have not been well received by critics over the years; indeed, in 2004, the magazine Total Film said that making more than one Police Academy was the eighth "dumbest decision in movie history".

[edit] Main characters
[edit] Carey Mahoney Played by: Steve Guttenberg Steve Guttenberg (August 24, 1958), sometimes credited as Steven Guttenberg, is an American actor. ...
Mahoney is the lead character of the first four movies of the series. A troublemaking, womanizing cad with a heart of gold, whose worst habit is retaliating against insults in bizarrely effective ways. For instance, the last straw before his police career was when he was a parking lot attendant when he was forced to park a car of an abusive driver in a full parking lot; he put the car into a side-wheelie and crashed it between two cars and proudly proclaims, "It fits!". Mahoney was forced to join the police academy as an alternative to jailtime after several minor run-ins with the law. He is best known for protecting Cmndt. Lassard and playing practical jokes on Harris, Mauser and Proctor as the three view Mahoney to be unworthy of being a police officer due to his carefree attitude about life. Despite his womanizing and his habit of breaking the rules, Mahoney is portrayed as being a good and courageous person willing to help those in need, regardless of the consequences. The fact that he graduates with a decoration for bravery speaks to that personal valor. Commandant Eric Lassard is a character in the cult classic movie Police Academy, as well as its six sequels. ...
A popular and potentially hazardous practical joke is to completely block someones doorway while he/she is in the room. ...
[edit] Moses Hightower Played by: Bubba Smith Charles Aaron Bubba Smith (born February 28, 1945 in Orange, Texas) is a former professional American football player in the 1960s and 1970s who became an actor in the 1980s. ...
Featured in six of the seven films, Hightower was a florist before joining the academy. He is best known for his immense stature and inhuman strength. (Hightower practices for his driving test by ripping the front seat out of a compact car (a Honda Civic owned by Copeland), and steering comfortably from the back.) His character often breaks things or uses force to threaten the bad guys. He can also drop easily into bad-cop mode, to gain the trust of crooks he's about to arrest. However, he too graduated from the academy with a decoration for bravery. Floristry is most often understood as referring to the cultivation of flowers as well as their arrangement, rather than to the business of selling them. ...

[edit] Eugene Tackleberry Played by: David Graf David Graf ( April 16, 1950 – April 7, 2001) was an American actor, best known for his role as Sgt. ...
Tackleberry is in all seven films and is best known for his love of firearms. He is portrayed as a Rambo-type figure in the movies. In the second film, it is revealed that although he is 28 years old, he is still a virgin. However, upon meeting his police partner, a beautiful and equally gun-obsessed woman, Sgt. Kathleen Kirkland (played by Colleen Camp), he falls in love and they eventually get married. This leads to a series of gags involving the Kirkland family, in which the son and father love to fight each other, often involving brutal punches. The mother is fairly oblivious to all this. The chance for a reprise of this character is unlikely, as the actor who portrayed him, David Graf, died of cardiac arrest in April 2001.

Sergeant Kathleen Kirkland started on the second film as a trainer, and has become one of the main female personalities of the series.

Authoritative and gun-crazy, she makes the perfect match for Eugene Tackleberry, whom she falls in love with and marries in the second movie. She is from a police family, her father and brother being police officers themselves. She is best known for her army-style mannerisms and commands. [edit] Debbie Callahan Played by: Leslie Easterbrook Leslie Easterbrook (born July 29, 1949 in Los Angeles, USA) is an American actress. ...
This character is best known for her pure sex appeal. She is shown to be an avid weightlifter. In the first film, she has a relationship with Cadet Martin.

He is often portrayed as confused or absentminded. He is generally amicable, even to criminals, and is also accident-prone.

Mauser (or Miser in the series) is a similar character to Harris, and his role in the movies is essentially the same.
