Scuola di polizia: Missione a Mosca

According to his autobiography, Bubba Smith had initially made a verbal agreement to reprise his role as Hightower, but Marion Ramsey later called Bubba in tears, uncertain as to why she had not been asked to return. Bubba knew Marion was hurting financially, having already given her a small loan not long before. Bubba said he would see what he could do. When Bubba called the producers to ask if Marion could join the cast, he was told that Hooks could not be written into the script. In defense of Marion, Bubba made the decision to withdraw from the movie. In a peculiar case of life imitating art, this situation mirrors the scene in Scuola di polizia (1984), when Hightower is forced to leave the academy after standing up for Hooks.

(at around 1 min) In the beginning of the movie, the male reporter plays "The Game" on a GameBoy console with no power and no cartridge. All subsequent consoles shown have cartridges inserted.
