Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Leslie Nielsen returns as Frank Debrin in this slapstick police comedy. The plot, if you care, goes that President Bush (John Roarke) has been consulting a world famous environmental scientist named Dr. Albert S. Meinheimer (Richard Griffiths), who has been given a carte blance to dictate the environment policy for the United States. Naturally this doesn't sit well with all those oil, coal and nuclear big shots, one of which just happens to be dating Debrin's old flame, Jane (Priscilla Presley).Not an awful setup, but unfortunately the execution leaves almost all to be desired. The comedy style of Nielsen has always leaned heavily towards slapstick and no exception here. Furthermore, they're heavily going for the kitchen sink approach. The scenes are almost overflowing with visual gags and very few opportunities for a random quip are missed in the dialogue. Unfortunately it makes the film feel bloated. I've seen this kind of kitchen sink approach work in a comic, but in those you can stop and take as much time as you need to appreciate all the little things hidden in the background. Here it simply makes you feel frustrated when the scene changes and you realize you missed what was happening on the foreground.The film is also rather heavily sexualized, and while that is a credible source of comedy, it just doesn't jive when the one making all the racy jokes is a white-haired sexagenarian lusting after a woman decades younger than him.The Naked Gun 2 makes for a passable background noise if you simply have to have the TV on. Then again, so does the fireplace screen saver.

Series formulas can be tricky; one wrong move and you're just repeating the beats of the first movie. But "Naked Gun 2½" walks that tightrope with finely-honed skill, and beautifully measures up to the original. At this point, you just need a villain to offer puzzled reactions to Frank Drebin's antics, and Robert Goulet fills that position just right. Even O.J. Simpson, given an expanded role, seems to work. Even though a few of the gags are date (and for some reason, the movie really has it in for Barbara Bush), it still had me in a fit of laughter. The writing's sharp,, the gags are characteristically absurd and it proves once again that Leslie Nielsen reigns supreme.8/10

Lieutenant Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) discovers that his ex-girlfriend's new beau is involved in a plot to kidnap a scientist who advocates solar energy.It's not very often a sequel is better than the original. This may be one of those rare occasions, though. The first was good, but never seemed to fully reach its full potential. Here, we have a complete film, maybe the strongest of the trilogy. A good villain, some nice cameos, and a terrible George Bush impersonation. (Barbara Bush is much more realistic.) The humor is grand, and you have to respect the casting of Robert Goulet. I mean, gee, he is suave, smooth, and really could be a great hero or likable villain. Sadly, he is no longer with us.

This is the sequel to David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams' first Naked Gun movie, a film bringing back Leslie Nielson as Lt. Frank Drebin, where we get to see the Los Angeles police detective in his funny blundering ways again, out to foil evil businessman and his ex-girlfriend's new beau Quentin Hapsburg's (Robert Goulet) plan to escape solar-energy advocate Dr Mainheimer (Richard Griffith).Like the first film, it's non-stop laughs from start to finish that that will result in tears in your eyes and side-splitting stomaches. The characters are calm and serious in their demeanor, but delivering outrageously humorous dialog and slapstick action. Drebin and Jane Spencer's (Priscilla Presley) wacky dance scene and the hilarious portrayals of George H.W. and Barbara Bush are my favorites scenes in the movie. The famous love scene from the movie "Ghost" is parodied here by Drebin and Spencer, humorously done. Unlike the first one, there is a political tone to this sequel, but it pokes fun at both sides of the spectrum.The jokes, one-liners and gags are endless, helped by the fast-paced plot and great acting. Pure entertainment! Grade A
