Oh, Ski Patrol… where do I begin? This entry from 1990 is “from the producers of Police Academy,” and man does it show. If you took Ski Patrol, took it out of the mountain setting and put it in an urban background and replaced the red ski patrol jackets with the blue uniforms of police cadets, you’d have a Police Academy movie. Only instead of Mahoney, Hightower, Zedd, and Tackleberry, you’ve got Jerry Cramer (Roger Rose), Iceman (T.K. Carter ), Stanley (Paul Feig), Murray (Leslie Jordan), and Martinez (George Lopez). Following the Police Academy formula for success(?), you’ve got to have a loveable, fatherly, leader for the “good guys.” Ski Patrol gives us Pops (Ray Walston) to fill that role, whilst the role of dastardly villain is adequately embodied in the personage of Maris (Martin Mull). Surprisingly, all of these stars were either already relatively established or actually went on to make a name for themselves.
