Product Description
Aten-hut, dudes. Fall in with the cadets of Sheldon R. Weinberg Military Academy, where the new arrivals have decided that anything goes. So the first things to go are the rules. In the tradition of Stripes and Police Academy, Up the Academy deploys film-debuting Ralph Macchio and company in a series of raunchy, madcap maneuvers. Barbara Bach as a fully-armed armaments expert, Tom Poston as an instructor whose favorite subject is bedcheck and Antonio Fargas as a sadistic soccer coach provide choice comic moments under the direction of Robert Downey (Putney Swope, Greaser's Palace). The soundtrack rocks with Cheap Trick, Sammy Hagar, Pat Benatar, David Johansen, Lou Reed and more.
Recently watched it. Of the thousands of movies I've rated at IMDB, I've probably rated less than ten movies with a one. Well, that number just increased by one. This show was awful. I can't believe Amazon would mention Stripes and Police Academy in the same sentence with this show.

About the only redeeming feature was that you got to see a young karate kid and if you look really closely you'll see a very young robert downey jr as one of the kids on the soccer team. It didn't even have the nudity that I was expecting.
True to form, Mad Magazine ran a mini-parody of their own film called "Mad Magazine Resents: 'Throw Up the Ecchadamy'".
Indeed!
