Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!

Pros: Great jokes and a lot of fun
Cons: Not much of a plot

There are several classic movies that should be a part of every person’s DVD collection. You’ve got to have The Godfather Collection, Pulp Fiction and the Lord Of The Rings. However, there are many classic films that aren’t award winners, but...

Pros: A goofy, well-written comedy that helped create useful rules for good satire ever since.
Cons: Not that it always followed those rules....

To argue that 1988’s the Naked Gun was a landmark in the history of satire would be a slight exaggeration. For one thing, no it wasn’t. For another, it wasn’t even that influential in the career of its writing/directing team of Jim ...

Pros: clever, fun
Cons: repetitive gags, about half the jokes hit home

The Naked Gun - From the Files of Police Squad! is a spoof of the Quinn Martin cop dramas that dominated television for two decades. I wasn't alive when the great QM produced the Fugitive (1963), but I must have heard "A Quinn Martin Production" ...

Pros: rewatchability! the perfect comedy
Cons: none

Usually if you ask someone what their favorite movie of all time is, you will get answers like CASABLANCA, MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, and so on. Well, my favorite is the all-time comedy classic THE NAKED GUN.

Brought to the big screen by David...

Pros: good actors in a silly movie
Cons: not really suitable for kids

The Naked Gun, to the best of my knowledge, never won any film awards. I know for certain that it didn't win an Academy Award or Golden Globe. Moreover, it wasn't shown at the Cannes Film Festival, or similar types in Rome, Sydney or London....

Pros: Hilarious spoof of classic movie detectives and film noir.
Cons: Not all jokes hit the mark.

The Naked Gun is one of those movies that sound lame on paper. But when actually viewed on a screen, it works perfectly. One of those "You have to be there" situations, if you will. The humor contained in the film is unsubtle, corny, predictable and...

Pros: Many, many, many, many jokes...
Cons: I suppose it would have been nice if OJ had more lines...

My favorite comedy of all time is Airplane!. I would say that my second favorite comedy of all time is The Naked Gun. This movie mixes great lines, great humor, scattered slapstick, and even a funny story together to come up with hundreds ...

Pros: Well, Nielsen, for starters
Cons: The Smell of Fear smells like yesterday's diapers

The Naked Gun-**** (out of five)
The Naked Gun 2 1/2-**1/2 (out of five)
The Naked Gun 33 1/3-*** (out of five)

Believe it or not, my most recent viewing of what is not often referred to as "The Naked Gun...

Pros: Hilarious rapid-fire, screwball humor. Clever and witty direction and writing.
Cons: DVD should have contained the added scenes sometimes shown on TV.

This first film in an eventual trilogy, brought to us by the Zucker brothers (makers of Airplane! and Top Secret!) is truly one of the funniest films ever made. The comedy here is non-stop, based on slapstick, sight gags, wordplay, and screwball antics....

Pros: Original, laugh out loud, hilarious stuff.
Cons: Some sight gags were a little over the top.

This movie was my favorite comedy for a long time. It sprouted out of the TV show, Police Squad. Ever since the show bombed and got canceled (epinions spell checker told me to put one l, but I thought it was 2), I’ve looked to this movie as consolation....

Pros: the high point of OJ Simpson's film career
Cons: the high point of OJ Simpson's film career

The Naked Gun movie is an absolute film classic. It gets its' origins from a television show called "Police Squad". Unfortunately, the TV series only lasted six episodes. The good news is that someone had the foresight to make a movie based on these...

Pros: A non-stop ride of bad puns, jokes, and physical comedy
Cons: Puns, by now, may be a little old (so hopefully you've forgotten them)

I saw "The Naked Gun" ten (yikes) years ago and have not laughed as hard since. It's kind of sad really, but it only proves to me that this is one of the funniest movies of all time. Most of America, I'm sure, by now has seen this...

Pros: "Nice beaver!"
Cons: "Thanks, I just had it stuffed yesterday..."

This movie -- the entire Police Squad series, including the tv episodes, actually, are the modern day equivalent of the travelling roadshow. Packed with more GPF (Gags Per Frame) than most comedies, if one scene doesn't make you laugh there's another gag...

Pros: Humor!!
Cons: nothing!

Global opinion
------------------
One of the best comedies ever done. The best Leslie Nielsen’s film I ever seen (in his funniest role, of course, I can’t forget his “forbidden planet”).
A non-stop jokes film. As said on the Dvd cover...

Pros: Laugh out Loud Funny in many places
Cons: Banal to the most extreme degree.

A quiet Friday Night after a rather long and harried day. The rain has been falling all day today, as it has for the past three days prior. The roof that you called someone to patch, you have just discovered needs to be replaced. It's not a pretty...
