videorama-759-859391 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.
DKosty123 This film has aged, but it is so funny still as the jokes never really get old. It starts with a farcical meeting of Middle East Leaders in Beiruit, Lebanon, and then delves into a credit sequence so classic that is was recently borrowed and enhanced on one of those Seth Mcfarlene animated series. (or was it another series).So where do we belong here? OJ Simpson gets drilled by gunmen before his infamous murder trial and still people do not get where this movie is going? There is so much going on and so many cameos from famous folks in the era that even the Queen of England though central to the plot is really a second fiddle here.Ricardo Montoban is a prefect straight man to play the main bad guy who bumbles his way along a step behind Frank Drevin (Neilsen). The roles are so perfect that everyone in the movie shines. Even Reggie Jackson gets treated better here than he did when he introduced Reggie candy bars.The throw away lines in this one are better than a lot of comedy films. I have to wonder if the writers on an inside joke were sticking their tongs out at a public not smart enough to watch Police Squad? Could be
ivo-cobra8 What can I say, this is a classic comedy of the 80's that it is the feature film adaptation of the cult TV series Police Squad!. I love this flick to death and it is my number 1 comedy. Every time I watch this action comedy flick, I keep laughing. The film features fast-paced slapstick comedy, including many visual and verbal puns and gags. The first film of The Naked Gun is the best one of the trilogy ever made, it impossible not to laugh. The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) is the feature film adaptation of the cult TV series Police Squad!. Leslie Nielsen reprises his role as the bumbling Lt. Frank Drebin. The film's cast included George Kennedy, O.J. Simpson, Priscilla Presley, and Ricardo Montalban. The film was written and directed by the same team who made the original Airplane! and two sequels would follow: The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear and The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult. This film is funny as hell and it is a classic I love The Naked Gun to death! They don't make comedy's like this one anymore! I want to see a comedy like is this film today. Naked Guns are actually one of my favorite trilogy of all times, I love all three movies. They are just fun harmless movies to watch on Saturday or any day you want to see them. "Yes. Well, when I see 5 weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That's *my* policy." Plot: Those screw-loose creators of Airplane have done it again in this police-show parody. Police Squad's own granite-jawed, rock-brained cop, Frank Drebin, bumbles across a mind-control scheme to assassinate Queen Elizabeth. Priscilla Presley, O. J. Simpson, a stuffed beaver, two baseball teams and an odd assortment of others join the wacko goings-on and blow the laugh-o-meter to smithereens. This movie is what it is, a perfect 10, because it takes the vision of one of the most imaginative directors and writers on Earth, and realizes them almost perfectly with all the tools that fit the task -- actors, stunts, puppetry, models and effects. Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams David Zucker from Airplane and Top Secret! they created a beautiful comedy of all time. This was the second film in the trilogy I saw it, The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) was the first movie I ever saw as a kid and it become my favorite film, that was before I saw this one. I love The Naked Gun 2 1/2 but this one Is my number one favorite comedy in the naked gun trilogy including genre of comedy's. This is a parody film that also combine element from Dirty Harry films. I remember watching Police Squad! as a kid I haven't seen all episodes and the show was canceled after six episodes and that was all. Someday I might going to re watch them, but still rather watch the feature film because it has so much humor in it. Specially the baseball game I am not American so I am not a baseball fab, but this film was made before Major League (1989)with Tom Berenger and Charlie Sheen was made. I absolutely love the song I Love L.A. by Randy Newman. Leslie Nielsen as clumsy Frank Drebin was awesome and this was his best performance in a movie ever. You also have a lot of shootings, like Frank shoots on his car, when his own car try's to run him down he he. He chases a doctor who was hypnotized to kill Nordberg (O.J. Simpson) in the hospital you have a car chases. You have a fight scenes in the beginning of the movie which are fun, the film is very entertaining, fast paced and funny as hell. Ira Newborn did a perfect score for The Naked Gun theme. Director David Zucker did a wonderful job directing the film and the writers did a wonderful jobs. Overall I am given The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! a perfect 10 you have a beautiful cast a lot's of comedy and beautiful baseball game and a lot's of funny actions. I love this comedy flick to death. The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! is a 1988 American comedy film. The film stars Leslie Nielsen as the bumbling police lieutenant Frank Drebin.
