Steve Guttenberg, an 80s icon in my opinion. He starred in several hit movies during that decade and I will be featuring one of those films as the fifteenth issue of my 80s Movie Trailer of the Week feature I call "Preview Review." I have decided that these issues (like the Flashback Videos) will not include the usual "Check this out" or "Quote of the day" sections at the end like normal issues of 
as "Eddie Simmons" in Diner (1982), "Jack Bonner" in Cocoon (1985), "Newton Crosby" in Short Circuit (1986) and "Michael Kellam" in Three Men & a Baby, but it is role as "Officer Carey Mahoney" in the Police Academy movies that is my favorite. He played that role in the first four installments of the franchise which is scheduled to release #8 next year.
, but there is also some very funny stuff mixed in there. Roger Ebert actually gave it zero stars out of a possible four, though I personally feel it has some redeeming qualities. It grossed over $146 million worldwide and enjoyed six sequels (with a seventh on the way), so I would say that there had to be some appeal to the films. I enjoy the first one and the second one is not too bad, but after that they start getting pretty bad. I am interested to see what the newest sequel will bring because Guttenberg will be reprising his "Mahoney" role for it.
