Tony Hawk was hired as David Spade's Stunt Double for the movie Police Academy 4 but was eventually fired due to their physical differences. Hawk, who was 6'3" and skated goofy, struggled to match Spade's 5'7" stature and regular-footed skate style. Chris Miller was brought in as a replacement, but his regular-footed stance caused inconsistencies in the skate sequences. Despite the challenges, Spade praised Hawk's skateboarding skills. Additionally, Spade himself had a mishap during filming when he wiped out while attempting to jump down a set of steps.
