Police Academy

Factual error: The scene where Harris on the motorcycle hits the car and flies into the horse's backside features two errors. Firstly, the bike Harris was on wasn't going fast enough for him to fly such a distance. In fact, all he would have done was go over the car and that's it. And second, when Harris gets his hat back the next day, he is completely uninjured. In reality, he would have suffered broken bones and a broken neck.

Factual error: When Lt. Harris is being held hostage on the rooftop during the riot, his captor shoots a seemingly endless amount of rounds from a revolver, which should only have a maximum of six rounds. (01:26:06)

Suggested correction: He had two revolvers.

Suggested correction: He took both Copland and Blanks' revolvers, so he had 12 bullets. Even though we didn't see him switch guns, it doesn't mean he didn't at some point.

Continuity mistake: At the end, after Mahoney kisses Karen, she takes off her hat and the position of her fringe changes between one angle and the other.

Question: In a real life situation, would Blankes and Copeland have any disciplinary actions against them when their guns were taken from them and used to hold Harris hostage and shoot at Mahoney?

Answer: With no witnesses to say HOW their guns were taken, they could have said they were taken by surprise and overpowered. Knowing their characters, this is likely what happened. No one would know the truth, that they simply froze and allowed the man to take their guns away.
