Audio problem: When Mahoney and Lt Harris are driving in the car on the dirt road and Harris tells Mahoney to run behind the car, all of the conversation up until that point is done with neither character moving their mouths.
Police Academy (1984)
1 audio problem - chronological order
Starring: Kim Cattrall, Steve Guttenberg, G.W. Bailey, Bubba Smith
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.
Lieutenant Thaddeus Harris: You make me sick.
Carey Mahoney: Thank you, sir. I make everybody sick.
Trivia: The scene of Blankes and Copeland entering the academy and getting their heads shaved were filmed in the wrong order. The haircut scene was filmed first so when the actors playing those characters enter the academy, they had to wear wigs.
Question: What song is playing at the Blue Oyster Bar when Copeland and Blankes are forced to dance with the patrons? It's the one that has, what I think is a mambo like sound.

Answer: The song is called "El Bimbo" and was performed by Jean-Marc Dompierre and his Orchestra. It's a cover version, the song was originally produced by Bimbo Jet (a French group). This song is played in several other Police Academy films.
