The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988)

Fantastic!

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

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.

If you like comedy movies, then I would definitely recommend this movie. Leslie Nielsen stars as the main character, and he certainly outdoes himself. This was a hilarious movie, and I was laughing throughout. One scene in particular had me actually cry from laughing so hard, something that a movie had never done before. If you want to go and see a movie that will have you laughing your socks off, then definitely go see this movie. You won't be disappointed.

The police procedural, now there's a subgenre that can use a good parody; and "The Naked Gun" is more than happy to offer those services. There's no weak link in this cast, and both Nancy Marchand and Ricardo Montalban ably serve as straight men to the rest of the players. The obvious MVP here is Leslie Nielsen and it's no surprise how he's attained legendary status in this field. As a kid, we used to have HBO in the house for a while, and this was played almost on a loop. Age has done nothing to dull this film's charm; the gags come at you one after the next and some aren't easy to pull off. It's all unbelievably silly, and I mean that in the best way possible. This is one of those rare gems that really brightens your day. 8/10

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.
