Accompanying material
Police Academy 3 is a Police Academy Productions and Warner Bros. film. After a hiatus in Los Angeles for the second film, Police Academy III returned to film on the Lakeshore Grounds. With the future of the Police Academy threatened, the graduates from the first film return to as instructors to help save the institution. While there is no acknowledgement within the movies that they were filmed in Toronto, there is no effort made to hide street names or easily identifiable landmarks. However, as the intention was to portray “Any City, USA,” the American flag was displayed on the flagpole outside of G Building.
The image on the poster is drawn by well-known movie poster artist Drew Struzan. Drew Struzan started his career illustrating album covers in the 1960s and 70s. From there, he began illustrating and designing movie posters in the 1980s and 90s. He created posters for block buster series like Indiana Jones and Star Wars. Struzan’s work became well known and many directors (such as George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and Guillermo Del Toro) asked for him specifically to do work for their films. Struzan mainly focused on movie posters until he retired in 2015 after finishing his final movie poster for the film Star Wars Episode VII. He continues to create but not for film and music purposes.
