SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

PeterBlues a blast throughout, though the movie makers made similar movies before and after the naked gun movies with the same type of jokes, and the leading actor seemed to get quite the identical roles in comedy flicks afterwards, it never worked out as well as this naked gun movie franchise, one hilarious silly bit after another, and i guess that kind of comedy won't age, only the playing field scene seemed a bit dragged out, the sequels are just as fun if not funnier really.
Movie Guy A perfect example of humor taken to the utmost extent, Leslie Nielsen does what no other actor could have with a role whose only job is, quite literally, to make Priscilla Presley, and OJ Simpson, The Naked Gun is a comedy success that will continue to keep audiences rolling for years. As Lt. Frank Drebin, Nielson falls into the case of a lifetime when his friend Nordberg (OJ Simpson), is severely injured in a police raid gone bad and information surfaces that there may be an assassination attempt against the visiting queen of England. From that point on, this movie contains classic elements of perseverance, adventure, and true love, but uses them all to produce a satire on police life and life in general. There will be many who don't particularly for this movies brand of humor, but The Naked Gun isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Eric Stevenson For a lot of people, this film happened to be the last great parody movie ever made. It seems like right after this movie, the parody genre just got worse and worse. We finally hit rock bottom with "Disaster Movie" ranked as the worst film of all time by the IMDb. Were people just thinking this movie was a tough act to follow? There have been zero spoof movies since that would be considered truly great. If nothing else, we can at least look back at this once great style. I heard "Sausage Party" was technically a spoof, but it still wasn't on the same level as these old ones. Modern spoof movies just have the characters fart and poop all the time, but these ones actually made us laugh.It is kind of weird looking back and seeing OJ in a good movie role. Of course, he does get injured in this movie a lot. This film is great from the very first jokes. I think my favorite part would be when he says, "Bingo!" and finds a Bingo card. This is another movie you have to pay attention to in order to get all the laughs in. I just love how this film escalates in its zaniness. Even if you've seen a compilation of best parts like me, there's still more to love. The madness doesn't even end with the credits. There's this gag where they list every person by labeling them with their dialogue! It actually does make sense, in a really amusing way. The pop culture references are a lot more subtle than other films and it works much better that way.This is what comedy should be. The slapstick is wonderfully timed. Everything comes together so well in this. There's always jokes that build up to each other and best of all, it has a coherent story. They do work hard to make these jokes relevant as to what is going on, not just random interchangeable gags. Even better is that I actually really do care about the main characters in this. I wanted them to get out okay! For all the laughs, there was good emotion here too. I didn't even know this was based on a TV show. I have seen some clips of it and it seems great too! I think the directors eventually split over arguments which is why their films have declined, ending with the worst, "Scary Movie V". While there are still great comedies, we'll never be restored to this level of quality in spoofs right here. May this film and its spirit live on forever! ****
