10 Incredible Comedy Movie Details You Definitely Missed

Only the irreverent and utterly ridiculous Police Academy movies could create a character whose whole personality is, "I love guns," and make him genuinely enjoyable. 

Eugene Tackleberry, who appeared in every Police Academy movie, was so obsessed with firearms you'd think he was attracted to them - which, to be fair, he might have been - and most of his jokes came down to his unhealthy obsession with boom-sticks. Still, his lead-loving personality was not a surface level gag, as one scene from the first film proved how much thought the crew put into it. 

In Police Academy (1984), the cadets went to a shooting range and practiced with live weaponry. As expected with these misfits, it went very wrong, as Leslie Barbara accidentally misfired before sweeping around and pointing his pump action shotgun at everyone. Naturally, the whole cast quickly ducked for cover, except Tackleberry, who stood still as a statue. 

Why did Tackleberry not jump out of harm's way? Well, it's because he knew that the gun would not fire again, as pump action shotguns needs to be cocked every time before shooting. Unlike everyone else, his knowledge of the weapon helped him understand that he wasn't in any danger. 

It is a very clever and easy to miss detail in an otherwise stupid movie.
