Well Deserved Praise

not horrible nor great

just watch it!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The Naked Gun is a great series of slapstick comedy that will make you yearn for simpler times. Leslie Nielson at the end of his career started doing slapstick humor after the tremendous success of Airplane. Naked Gun started as a television show- Police Squad which ran for 6 episodes. The visual and verbal gags are downright hilarious and clever and just looking at Neilson one can start burst laughing. The supporting cast is really good from (ahem) OJ Simpson to Priscilla Presley and all have been etched in our collective memories. If you want a good laugh you cannot go wrong with Naked Gun.

A rerun of many of the gags from the television series Police Squad! (1982). An Airplane! (1980)-type spoof, this time with the an incompetent Lieutenant Frank Drebin, who always "gets his man". Visual gags come thick and fast, and it's impossible to catch them all with one viewing. The plot: Queen Elizabeth II of England is coming to town, and Vincent Ludwig has plans to assassinate her using a brainwashed baseball player. If you loved movies like Airplane or just Leslie Nielsen in general 'The Nake Gun' movies are definitely for you, full of laughs and just with lots of action, adventure and gags that was enough for me and definitely enough for alot of viewers and just a great film in general. (A+)

Yes this is the one that kicked off that trio of infectious comedy slapstick. I actually like The Naked Gun's better than the Flying High's, only this time the brilliant Nielsen is at the helm, where he belongs. Lets face it, any film, that starts in Beirut is interesting. The great criminal here is Fantasy Island's Montalban, who has diabolic plans, ones that include brainwashing, which will aid him in assassinating the queen, where the queen really looks like the queen in this one. His captain is played by George Kennedy and like Nielsen, with being all so serious, he's created a likable character, where O.J. Simpson (yes, that's the one) plays his partner, to adequate ability (his only acting nomination is a bad one) more of a player than actor, you could say. Like the Flying High's the laughs keep coming, but here, it's at a more accelerated rate. Montage's have never been funnier, than the one you'll see here, especially, if you take pokes at Stone's Platoon, though that's kind of in bad taste. Taking pokes at Rambo would of been funnier. And this is the one, where Nielsen his eyes on the luscious Presley (God, if Elvis could see her now). She's sexy and really impresses with her character, Simpson an almost useless asset in these ones. Of course, there are those stupid moments, but that's expected in in slapstick. The brainwashing bits here, were the ones that didn't wash off. This really came at a time, we needn't something like this. It's slapstick, but it's original, smart, and fresh and garners laughs at a rate, that may'be even too quick. Excellent 89' slapstick comedy, never forgotten, and never watched once. Spawned two equally funny sequels.

People always say this is a funny movie. But they do not see more then once and do not remember it. The trues is it is not funny. It is just very very stupid. Do not see it. It is overrated. And like most comedies it is badly written. I do not known why people like it. It is so stupid. It is not a 7.6. It is just pooh. I give 4 out of 10. Because it is pooh pooh. It not funny at all. It is just weird pooh pooh. I do not know how any one could laugh at it. It is just awful. It could never have been made. And do not know why people think it so funny. People who think this is funny will just laugh at any thing, This is just cheap laughs.
