Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.co.uk Review
Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker, the creative troika behind IAirplane!/I, scored another hit with this big-screen adaptation of their short-lived television show IPolice Squad!/I. Deadpan as ever, Leslie Nielsen revives his TV role of Lt Frank Drebin, the idiot with a detective's badge. The jokes come thick and fast, gathering a momentum that lasts until the final act. Ricardo Montalban is a perfect foil as a villain whose aquarium is 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). And yes, that's OJ Simpson as a detective who ends up on the wrong side of numerous Drebin blunders. --ITom Keogh, Amazon.com/I

When all's said and done, this film boils down to one simple fact; if you hate the humour presented by the Zucker brothers and Abrahams then you're simply going to hate this film. If you love the humour then certainly you're going to love the film, but you're probably also going to appreciate the significance of the film in the history of cinematic comedies.pThis is more than a film of one-liners and slapstick gags (although lets face it, it is jam packed full of rip tickling jokes) there is also some of the sharpest observational humour around and even then there is room for some memorable spoofing swipes at other films.pThere's no real reason to discuss the plot, that is simply a vehicle to hang all the funny situations and brilliant pranks onto, and similarly you can't really criticise any of the cast for their performances as it's really a time to forget acting skills and just give a hammed up pantomime performance.pLeslie Neilson is brilliant in this type of film and although it basically prevented him ever widening his acting horizons (did he actually ever try?) his is the master of his craft in this one. Well supported by a rare old mix of actors including the lovely Priscilla Presley, George Kennedy, Ricardo Montalban and even wooden old O.J. Simpson is acceptable in this.pOne final point, whilst some films from the 80's have aged horribly badly over the years, this one comes out very well indeed. The fact is, it should actually age very badly indeed (just take the first scene where the world's "tyrants" are gathered round the table) but instead, it this respect, it comes over as a lovely whimsical look back on old times.

Naked Gun is one of the funniest films ever made!brIt is definately worth seeing as it is extremely funny.


5 out of 5 stars A very funny film   February 23, 2001
  1 out of 4 found this review helpful

I watched this after watching the other 2 in the series, and so I was slightly disappointed, but then the other 2 Naked gun films were incredibly funny, and this raised my expectation a bit. However, this is also very very funny, it probably that the other films, were just as funny, and I hadn't laughs as much in ages. pThis film throws sense, plot and to some extent taste out of the window, and just concentrates on making you laugh, which is does all the way through. Great film, just buy it if you want a laugh.


5 out of 5 stars The most funniest movie of all time!   December 22, 2000
