00:21Officer Cary Mahoney in a number of the hilarious hit movies, tweeted on Monday that
00:25a new Police Academy was in the works. Responding to a Twitter user who asked
00:29the star to please film another installment and to do it in London, Guttenberg responded,
00:34Adam, the next Police Academy is coming. No details yet, but it is in a gift bag being readied.

00:44The first film was an adult comedy, rated R, but the rest of the films in the franchise
00:49were geared more toward teens and kids, rated PG-13 and PG. The film franchise helped sport
