(Addressing the rumours of a Police Academy (1984)/Mahoney spin-off film) "Definitely. It`s coming. People will look down at the idea, but they`re in the same business of making money too. The Police Academy films gave me so much opportunity, and I`ve got nothing but a good attitude towards them. I sure hope they do it. If the script`s right - I`m definitely in. You never know, I may direct."

In a recent article in Entertainment Weekly about Police Academy (1984), the author had issues contacting Guttenberg and had no clue why his calls were never returned.
