I, personally, loved this movie. Leslie Nielson has the perfect personality for Frank Drebin (main character) and Priscilla Presley tops it off. There are some very memorable moments, and also some one-liners that will have you rolling on the floor. If you're skeptical, rent the movie. You'll be laughing your butt off in no time.

A good belly laugh is to be had, even after having seen it at least 20 times!

This movie is based on a extremely funny though short-lived TV series, produced on 1982 for ABC and starring Leslie Nielsen too. It was a crazy parody of that time's most famous productions, like "The Streets of San Francisco" or "The Invaders".

Fortunately, its creators managed to recreate the series' brilliance for the cinema and "The Naked Gun" is certainly one of the most hilarious movies ever made. Of course, every single gag, wordplay or parody isn't funny, but since there are half-a-dozen of them every minute...

This movie is hard to review because there are jokes and gags that come one after another and to explain them in a review would ruin it when you later see the movie. The plot is about a police detective (Leslie Nielsen) attempting to foil an assasination attempt of Queen Elizabeth in her visit to LA. He has foils who are fellow detectives, none of whom are quite as dumb as he is, including George Kennedy and, ahem, OJ Simpson who plays a poor schlemiel. The co star of this movie is a knockout, gorgeous, Priscilla Presley who really teams well with Nielsen. I don't want to give away any gags but, suffice it to say that there is a scene at a California Angels game that will leave you choking with laughter. The gags are silly but silly humor is usually the funniest. You will not intellectualize with this movie .. you will just roll with laughter. It's great and it's still funny a second or third time through.

It would take at least a 10,000 word article to describe all of the gags that make you laugh during this movie. While one weird happening after another occurs all of the movie's actors maintain straight faces, as if nothing unusual around them is happening. My favorite example of this is when Drebin crashes into something everytime he parks his car and then proceeds to get out and walk away as if nothing happened (Sometimes I wish I could do that).That's what I like most about these Zucker, Abrams, Zucker movies. Guaranteed to give you rock hard abs after a solid hour-and-a-half of laughs.

The Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team has given us hilarious classics like The Kentucky Fried Movie, Airplane! and Top Secret. However, for me, The Naked Gun is the best of the lot and is one of the funniest films ever made. I was a huge fan of the TV series Police Squad. Unfortunately, ABC did not really give the series a chance and axed it after one year. One of the series' original gimmicks was to have a "guest star" who was killed off during the opening credits (Florence Henderson was machine-gunned, William Shatner was poisoned, Lorne Greene was thrown out of a speeding car, etc.) Unfortunately, one of the "guest stars" was John Belushi, who died before the episode could be aired. The producers had to pull the episode as a result. This was the final blow for the series which was canceled soon after. The series Sledge Hammer feebly tried to cover the same ground, but paled in comparison to Police Squad.

That's why I was overjoyed when the movie came out in 1988 and was even funnier than the original series. Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker take the Mel Brooks approach of cramming every one of their movies with jokes, knowing that a good percentage of them will hit their mark. The jokes in The Naked Gun, however, ALL seem to work.

Leslie Nielsen, who was a serious dramatic actor until Airplane! made him into a comedy star, is hilarious. Without trying to be funny, Nielsen gets laughs by playing it absolutely straight -- even when he's wearing a body length condom, passing out by smelling 3 year old Chinese food or singing a horrible version of the National Anthem at a baseball game. Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker use the Leslie Nielsen theory of casting to the hilt in Naked Gun. Non-comedy stars like George Kennedy, Priscilla Presley, O.J. Simpson (when he could show his face in public), Reggie Jackson and Ricardo Montalban have mastered the art of delivering funny lines with absolute seriousness.

It would take too long to recount all of my favorite scenes. My personal favorite is the baseball scene. If you're a baseball fan, you've probably seen a person singing the National Anthem botch the lyrics or seen an umpire who seemed to get a little too much pleasure in ringing up strike three on a hitter. The humor may be extremely exaggerated, but Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker base the scene on real situations, thereby making the humor even more hysterical. The first time I saw the film, I was laughing so hard, tears were coming out of my eyes and I couldn't breathe during that scene! Apparently, the audience I saw it with agreed because their laughter drowned out a good deal of dialogue. Nielsen's umpiring still makes me laugh, especially when it's shown between innings at a baseball stadium.
