I love this movie. I remember laughing nearly till i choked all the way through it the first time that i saw it in the theater. I'd buy it right now if only O.J. wasn't in it. I just can't bare to watch the scenes with him in them, he has spoiled one of my favorite movies for me.

Okay, this was an okay movie. I mean, Leslie Nielsen is a truely great comedic and legendary actor. But, this movie has a very lame storyline. It's just pure cheese.

This film is absolutely hilarious, no matter how many times you've seen it. It's far superior to the TV series it was based on. The emphasis here is more on physical comedy, rather than the deliberately silly dialogue in Police Squad (which didn't work very well). There are so many hilarious scenes (my favorite has to be John Houseman as the driving instructor) that you can watch it over and over again. In addition to the hilarious movie, this DVD has one of the greatest commentary tracks I've ever heard. Robert K. Weiss (the producer) and David Zucker (the director) are having a whale of a time talking about their film. They don't do the usual, self congratulatory comments that most directors do. Their comments on O.J. Simpson are priceless (the commentary was done after his trial). Speaking of OJ, the man who played Nordberg in the series was actually funnier and goofier than Simpson is/was. They should have kept him instead of giving it to OJ, who is OK as the doofus Nordberg. But this is still a brilliantly funny film.

The 15- to 20-minute baseball game sequence in "The Naked Gun" is - in my opinion - the funniest stretch of cinema in American film history. From Leslie Nielsen's rendition of the National Anthem under the guise of opera singer Enrico Pallazzo (shades of Carl Lewis' infamous attempt at 'singing') to his classic balls and strikes calls to the Queen doing The Wave and passing hot dogs, the Zuckers just absolutely nailed and perfectly zinged everything there is to zing about baseball. You can watch it a dozen times and discover something new every time.
Also, every fan of this movie probably thought of Frank Drebin recently when a CNN reporter left her mike on the restroom. That's right out of The Naked Gun.

The Naked Gun - From the Files of Police Squad!~ Leslie Nielsen is the first and best movie in the series. Leslie Nielsen is amazing in his role as Frank Drebin. The script is very well written and the jokes are totally hillarious. It is kind of strange and unsettling to see OJ Simpson a movie but at the time he was not loaded with the stigma that he is today. The music is amazing and the dialogue is crisp. I love the opening sequence with the police car going all over the place. It is a total spoof of the sometimes overly pretentious cop movies that seem to take themselves so seriously. This is an amazing movie that should not be missed and there are several funny scenes like the one with the old chinese food in his fridge, the office scene with the fish and the pen, the scene in the bathroom with the mike on and the hosptial scene to mention a few. Higly recommended.
