Whether you’re a die-hard fan of Mahoney or just love classic movie trivia, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes insights you won't want to miss.

Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:

Former US President Bill Clinton once mentioned to Steve Guttenberg that this was one of his favorite movies and that it helped him get through a tough period. During his speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, he also said that his wife, Hillary Clinton, found his parenting decisions questionable after he watched six "Police Academy" films back-to-back with his daughter, Chelsea Clinton.
The "shoe polish on the megaphone" comes from a prank played on British director Michael Winner during the filming of one of his movies. Hugh Wilson chose to use this gag after hearing the story from a crew member.
