Based on the short lived "Naked Gun" TV series, this is the funniest of the 3 films.
Still 20 years later it is very funny.
Leslie is perfect doing Frank.
"Weird Al Yankovic is on the plane" just love this little cameo since I am a fan.
My favorite scene is during the baseball game when Leslie "Frank" is dress as the umpire & starts doing the calls per how the crowd reacts. I will replay that scene.
For an older DVD the extras on this are lacking.
So many memorable lines & gags.
The 1 down side to the 3 films is, now of course after history, OJ.

The Naked Gun has great moments.
Truly funny for those of us who like potty humor.
A great script, good acting, well paced.
My favorite part?
The drivers ed student part. LOL
"Stephanie......extend your arm, extend your middle finger, very good".
An absolute masterpiece and a must see.
Be warned, OJ Simpson is in the movie, I don't know where everybody stands on the OJ issue.
But if his presence offends you, you may want to pass this one up.
Where do I stand?
None of your business!
Highly recommended for those that tire of all the "serious" movies that Hollyweird is spitting at us.

This movie is phenomenal. Of course, it is based on the TV show "Police Squad" (in color). I still do not understand what the TV series only had about 4 episodes. This is classic Leslie Neilson and classic comedy. I love how most of the comedy was spur of the moment or based on a situation at hand. It was not full of dirty or vulgar remarks, or obscenities. Although it had its sexual dialogue it was very brief. Comedy today is not the same. If someone farts, curses, or makes in appropriate sexual comments people laugh. The comedy in this movie is full of stupid humor featuring Leslie Neilson as a detective. Most of the time he catches criminals accidently by running them over with a car or slamming the door open on them. In this movie, however, he must sing the national anthem, pose as an umpire, and prevent the assassination of Queen Elizabeth. Meanwhile OJ Simpson gets beat up throughout the movie.
This movie defines Laughing Out Loud.

This movie is, for the most part, one of the goofiest movies you'll ever see. It's very akin to Airplane! (Don't Call Me Shirley! Edition) in regards to its level of humor but unlike Airplane Leslie Nielson tends to be the only character who takes things literally which definitely puts a spin on the style of comedy. It's enjoyable from the very first moment until the credits with very few scenes lacking some form of humor.
If you enjoy non-stop completely goofy comedies you'll really enjoy this one. If you tend to dislike movies like Airplane, Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, or Robinhood Men in Tights I'd avoid the movie though.

The Naked Gun is without a doubt my favorite comedy. It's got it all: humor, romance, a ketchup and mustard fight. In my humble estimation, The Naked Gun along with This Is Spinal Tap is the greatest comedy of all time. Leslie Nielsen is superb as lieutenant Frank Dreben, the bird-brained cop and sometimes government-terrorist-organization infiltrator. Oh, and who could forget Ricardo Montalban as the sinister Mr. Ludwig who owns priceless pens and fish that are no match for Frank Dreben and his endless aptitude for ineptitude. This is one movie that should be required viewing for all. Truly, you haven't lived until you've seen Dreben umpiring a baseball game, calling strikes and then moonwalking in all his self-congratulatory glory. Movies like this don't come along every day. Four thumbs up!
