Advantages: Fun, cheesy good acting and story Disadvantages: A bit Dated now!
up to the academy in do really show the films age and some of them really are very funny indeed. The music for the film is good but not all too memorable but it was all appropriate for the places which it was used.
We have the 20thAnniversary special editionDVD which does have some bonus material which includes:-
Commentary by Steve Guttenberg, Michael Winslow, Leslie Easterbrook, G W Bailey, Director Hugh Wilson and Producer Paul Maslansky
All New reunion Documentary Behind Academy Doors - Secret Files Revealed
Trailer
I am not one for bonus features so have not watched these so I am unable to give comments on them.
The running time of this film is 92 minutes which I felt was a good length and the certificate is a 15 as it does contain moderate language and sex references. I really do feel that this is very high ...
Advantages: Another version of an old favorite Disadvantages: The questions seem to come around quickly
**Introduction**
The original Trivial Pursuit was created by two friends in Montreal in 1979. They were arguing over who was the best board game player and to try and settle this they devised there own. They hooked up with two others and almost sold there underwear to get the money to finance it. They even sold shares to friends and family. They sold 1100 in Canada before taking it to america were they did even worse. Eventually in 1982 it was an overnight success! In 1984 alone it sold over 20 million games. It is now available in 28 countries in 18 different languages.
Throughout the history of the game they have tried various different variations. There is the original Genus edition, Kids editions, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, 80's, 90's and even a Post War Baby Boom edition. I think they are on the 6th Genus now ...
Advantages: Its funny, Its cheap Disadvantages: Its very old
I have always loved Police academy from such a young age, I was lucky enough to be given the full collection at Christmas time.
Police Academy 20thAnniversaryEdition
A Little Police Academy
As this is the 20thAnniversaryedition I am reviewing I better set it clear, this particular DVD was released in April 2004.
Police academy first started back in 1984 with the release of the original film "Police Academy" But nobody thought they would be making a film each year until 1989 were they stopped filming these superb films. That was until another instalment was released in 1994. Sadly since 1994 there have been no more Police Academy's released.
The DVD
Sit back relax and enjoy the movie, you will be laughing with enjoyment or with embarrassment.
The film starts with looking a different people from different walks ...

Album Notes
Midnight Oil: Peter Garrett (vocals); Jim Moginie (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Martin Rotsey (guitar); Peter Gifford (bass, background vocals); Rob Hirst (drums, background vocals). Additional personnel: John Ockwell (cello); Jeremy Smith (French horn); Glad Reed (trombone); Warne Livesey (keyboards). Recorded at Alberts Studios in Sydney, Australia. Revered in its native Australia and renowned in other parts of the globe, Midnight Oil didn't achieve runaway international success until its sixth album, 1988's DIESEL AND DUST. Fronted by bald, towering singer Peter Garrett, the politically outspoken rock band certainly exuded no obvious qualities of celebrity, yet its insistent single "Beds Are Burning," a rallying cry for aboriginal rights, turned ears around the world with its plaintive vocals, chiming guitars, bold horns, and driving rhythms. Admirably, the group managed to follow up that ubiquitous song with other fine tunes, most notably "The Dead Heart," a brooding anthem that furthered the former number's anti-colonial stance, and the deceptively upbeat "Dreamworld." While DIESEL is considerably more melodic than preceding Oil outings (see the synth-heavy "Put Down That Weapon"), it is no less passionate in its dedication to social and environmental issues, making it the crowning achievement of the ensemble's decades-long run.
