Movie Reviews of The Naked Gun - From the Files of Police Squad!
Movie Review: Best of the 3 films
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on the short lived "Naked Gun" TV series, this is the funniest of the 3 films.
Still 20 years later it is very funny.
Leslie is perfect doing Frank.
"Weird Al Yankovic is on the plane" just love this little cameo since I am a fan.
My favorite scene is during the baseball game when Leslie "Frank" is dress as the umpire & starts doing the calls per how the crowd reacts. I will replay that scene.
For an older DVD the extras on this are lacking.
So many memorable lines & gags.
The 1 down side to the 3 films is, now of course after history, OJ.
Summary of The Naked Gun - From the Files of Police Squad!
David Zucker--of the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker creative troika behind Airplane! and television's Police Squad!--directed this 1988 feature film based on the latter show. Leslie Nielsen returns to his old TV role of Lt. Frank Drebin, the deadpan idiot with a detective's badge. The reinvention of the failed series as a theatrical feature seems to have inspired everyone involved to make a pretty funny movie, and the jokes gather a momentum that lasts until the final act. Ricardo Montalban is a perfect foil as a villain whose aquarium is being invaded by Drebin during routine questioning, and George Kennedy is delightful in a self-parodying part as an earnest but obtuse lawman. There's a hilarious bit when Drebin--wearing a live police wire while going to the bathroom--can be overheard over the loudspeakers at a speech given by a flustered mayor (Nancy Marchand). Yes, that's O.J. Simpson as a detective who ends up on the wrong side of numerous Drebin blunders. --Tom KeoghComedy DVD Video
