Vice Academy + C'est presque pareil !

« When an idea is good, it can be used more than once !”. This could be the creed for the craftsmen of a parallel movie universe, in which every success gives birth to shameless copies, false sequels or plagiaries. Vice Academy (1989), sexy lookalike of Police Academy, was a hit on USA Network and in VHS, and even got the luxury of becoming a saga. Get the 3 first Vice Academy on blu-ray in a very limited official edition with extras, audio commentaries from director Rick Sloane and, an exclusive slipcover and limited trading cards with sexy stars Linnea Quigley, Ginger Lynn Allen et Elisabeth Kaitan. Very special price for this campaign only, and we ship worldwide !

The Police Academy was out of their league, so they went to the Vice Academy, the school for the future officers in charge of crimes related to prostitution, pornography and so. In 1989, ex pornstar Ginger Lynn Allen and scream queen Linnea Quigley turn this small budget Police Academy rip-off directed by Rick Sloane into a blast for USA Network hearings, becoming an instant classic for late-night viewers and a video rental blockbuster. It will be followed by no less than 5 sequels !

While writing his new book (in French) C’est presque pareil !, which you could translate by “It’s almost the same !”, Claude Gaillard explored the galaxy of the films made to benefit from Hollywood successes : exotic copies, lying duplicates, wannabee sequels and every kind of cinematographic scams, yet quite attaching. Claude also came back from this journey with its love for Vice Academy strengthened. We are hence very happy to propose to you the trilogy Vice Academy Part 1, 2 and 3 on blu-ray, in a very limited triple-disc edition, with a slipcover reprising the original poster of the first Vice Academy, and limited trading cards dedicated to the 3 exploitation stars of the saga, Linnea Quigley, Ginger Lynn Allen et Elisabeth Kaitan (Vice Academy Part 3).
