00:00In this video I'll share some possible future easter egg connections to Nintendo video games
00:05and you can see these in the Police Academy crime comedy film series from the 80s. I thought Police
00:12Academy 3 back in training in 86 would be a good place to look for Nintendo references. I can think
00:22of two big direct links to Nintendo Super Mario Brothers series. An easy one is this film
00:29has the exception in the franchise to featuring Art Matrono as Commandant Mauser. He replaces
00:38police nemesis Harris played in the other films by G.W. Bailey. Police Academy 3 features an
00:46extensive cast including Steve Guttenberg, David Graff, Bubba Smith, Michael Winslow, Leslie
00:53Easterbrook, George Gaines, Scott Thompson, newcomers Debra Lee Scott, Tim Kazerinsky, Bobcat
01:01Gothwood. The other easy connection to Mario would be Michael Winslow. In 1987 Mel Brooks
01:09sci-fi comedy spoof Spaceballs. Winslow acts alongside faux Darth Vader Lord
01:17helmet portrayed by Rick Moranis, your link to Super Mario Brothers. He is in the 1986 version of
01:26horror comedy Little Shop of Horrors. The carnivorous alien plant in Little Shop, Audrey 2, very similar
01:34to a Super Mario game enemy, the Piranha Plant. And in the earlier 1960 version, Nintendo fans will hear of
01:47a very familiar tune in the opening. This is the background music to the fortress level of Super
01:55Mario Brothers 3 in 1988. So on to the Easter egg. I thought there may be a future reference to
02:04Mike
02:05Tyson's punch-out in some scenes in Police Academy 3 starting at around 35 minutes 47 seconds. So in the
02:15game
02:16play the character Little Mac, he goes through a series of boxing matches. In the Mario connection,
02:24Nintendo's mascot cameos as the referee. Mouser and Proctor are standing on the rooftop of a building
02:34in what looks like New York City. Proctor remarks on the skyline. Mouser adds,
02:40you can see Mr. Sandman hopping rooftop to rooftop. In punch-out between the fight stages,
02:48there's a scene where you can get a password. It basically saves your progress so you don't have to
02:55fight all the characters again to get to the same point in the game. This scene shows a little
03:03mat training. He's jogging, running behind Doc Lewis. The background is of Manhattan and the Statue of
03:13Liberty. Mr. Sandman is a difficult fighter in the punch-out games. In the original, you fight him just
03:22before Super Macho Man and the final opponent, Tyson. But then at 36 minutes 47 seconds, we have some scenes
03:33from the first annual Inter-Academy boxing matches. And here Bud Kirkland is engaged in a fight. His
03:42character's family is infamous in the Police Academy movies, almost always shown in physical altercations.
