So Im reading a Cracked.com list called...

10 Movies That Famous People Dont Want
You to See



and I come to number 3 on the list

#3. Mad Magazine -- Up the Academy (1980)

Mad Magazine Presents: Up the Academy was an unfortunate attempt to cash in on the popularity of National Lampoon's Animal House, right down to the part where the title of the movie starts with the name of a humor magazine. The only problem was that the movie was so offensive and stupid, even Mad wanted nothing to do with it.

Image

The movie is about a group of teens attending a military academy, and much of the humor (as far as we can tell) comes from the fact that one of the instructors is sexually attracted to young boys. Perhaps realizing that creeping out the magazine's target audience wasn't a wise business decision, Mad's founder William Gaines actually paid Warner Bros. $30,000 to have all references to his magazine removed from the film.
This included slicing the title by half ...

Image


So Dancing With the Stars isn't the worst thing you've done after all, Ralph Macchio.
... and removing all shots of the military academy's statue of Alfred E. Neuman, even though it was prominently featured in the trailer:

Gaines was so embarrassed that he personally mailed a handwritten letter of apology to anyone who wrote to Mad complaining about the movie. He wasn't the only one: One of the adult actors, Ron Leibman (Friends, The Sopranos), had his name completely removed from the credits, a fact that was referenced in Mad's scathing review of the film.

Image

Via TopNews.in

Yeah, we had the same look when we watched it.
Apparently Warner Bros. pulled a fast one on Gaines, though, because if you buy the DVD now, all the Mad-related stuff is still in there. We promise we won't bring this up again if Mad does us the same courtesy and stops mentioning 1982's Cracked Presents the Sexual Adventures of Teddy Roosevelt (starring Rodney Dangerfield).

The pinnacle of Harry's career is an embarrassement to just about anyone else involved in the entertainment industry.

The guy had the look of a victim even as a kid.

"Fatha, I want to be an entertainer."

"Well, I'll just call a few of our lansman on the West Coast to make your dream come true, my talented son."

We should do a board screening at some bar with a big screen TV. I'd bet Harry would even attend. It wouldn't have to be a big deal, just some back room on a slow night...with a t0pless waitress hired off of craigslist

I think I remember Tiny stating Curtis Armstrong got a few roles Harry had auditioned for. It might have been Risky Business and maybe one of those Savage Steve Holland movies. Harry saw him as his professional nemesis in Hollywood. As if Harry could ever top the genius of Armstrong's Charles De Mar.

Daniel Day Lewis couldnt play Charles De Mar like Armstrong


I think Harry was actually IN Risky Business but all his scenes were cut


He should have been in NERDS
