Summary: The Funniest Movie Ever
Review: Frank Drebin(Leslie Nielsen)has retired from police business. When he is sent by the police squad in a prison to spy about a criminal named Rocco he discovers that Rocco is going to blow up the Academy Awards. An EXCELLENT movie!

Summary: Nielsen was made for these movies.
Review: I have seen all three Naked Gun movies, Spy Hard, and Wrongfully Accused, and this is one of the best. Leslie Nielsen does a good job, as always, and O.J. Simpson adds to the flavor. Not to mention a guest appearance by "Wierd" Al Yankovic. You can't get much better.

Summary: Pretty cool
Review: I just went to my local video store. The first two films of this series have been lost, so realized this one was all I could get out of the series. Well, it was easy to pick up from. The Zuckers make downright halarious films (Remember Airplane?). This was a halarious and above average comedy, and I am hearing that the firt two, especially 1, are much better, even though they liked this one as much as me. This is a funny film where you will laugh a lot. My favoreites: Leslie Neilson as Ed Macmahon, and the "football injury," followed by one of the funniest scenes with "the tape." Do you guys have Spartacus, The Rockettear, Dances With Wolves? I don't think I'm going too buy this one, but it is certainly worth renting.

Summary: Dreben is back again to save the day..
Review: I love the Naked Gun series. All 3 movies have a certain charm and wit to them that just isn't matched in other satire series.

The first Naked Gun movie is probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen hands down. The second was good but for some reason it just never seemed to come into its own. This one is a strange movie in that only one of the original writers (David Zucker) did the script while the other two were just producers this time around. It has parts that are better then the second one but other parts that just aren't funny as they want to be. It's a strange movie in that you will find parts that were well done and creative but then you will see things that are just stretching and well to put it plainly, just not funny.

The story continues right where the second left us. Frank Dreben and Jane finaly tie the knot and settle down to become a family. Dreben has to give up his police job as he promised. Of course things aren't as easy as that, the couple seems to be having some marital problems as Jane wants a kid and for some reason Frank just can't make it happen. To make matters worse Ed and Nordburg need Frank to come back for one more mission and when Jane finds out she leaves him. Dreben winds up going into prison undercover to find out the plans of the would be terrorist who wants to target the Oscars with a bomb that will go off once the evelope is opened revealing the best actor.

The opening and ending sequences are the best part of the movie. We have an Untouchables spoof at the start which was quite amusing and in classic Naked Gun humor and we have the whole situation at the Oscars that will remind you a bit of the baseball sequence at the end of the first movie. This alone ranks this better then the second movie but its everything in between that slows the movie down and makes it a little boring at times. Frank in Jail, Jane running away in a Thelma and Louise type spoof, a visit to the sperm hospital.. all fill up the middle and while they have their slight chuckles they are no where near the humor and wit and non stop laughs that we had previously. The second one still seemed to flow correctly within the series, popping out situations and running gags that were constant. This one just seems to be missing that extra umph to put it over the top.

The movie is fun and enjoyable though and a worthy addition to the Naked Gun series. Leslie Nielson still has it and probably always will. He plays his character flawlessly and as you would expect. There are a lot of cameos in this one like Weird Al and Vanna White and Mary Lou to name a few that make for some interseting moments. The rest of the cast from the previous are intact except there is no mayor or commish this time to call the shots.

When I first saw the movie in theaters I didn't laugh as much as I should have but after seeing it again on DVD I found myself laughing at things that probably were just over my head when I saw it 10 years ago.

Bottomline, Its not as good as the first and has its moments with being on the same level as 2 1/2 but overall its a great way to end a great series and I do recomend this to everyone, but I would also say buy the other two as well to get the full flavor. This on its own just won't work as well if you have not seen the others to reference to and get the complete picture of how this series works. This definitely could have been better and perhaps if the original 3 writers did it it would have been but its still quite amusing at points and gets a big A for effort.

Summary: Good, but not as funny as the first two.
Review: Leslie Nielson is back as Lt. Frank Drebin of Police Squad. This time Drebin must save L.A. from a bomber who plans to bomb the Academy Awards. 33 1/3 is funny but is very silly. Some of the sillines makes it funny and some of it drags the comedy down. All in all still a funny movie for someone who doesn't mind stupid and silly gags. High points: The reacurring cast, the ending climax scene at the Academy Awards where Nielson impersonates Phil Donahue and Weird Al, Nielson's style of comedy, and the cameos. Low points: the silly stuff that makes the movie not as funny as the first two. Cameos by Weird Al, Vanna White, and James Earl Jones.

Summary: Leslie Neilsen..... The God of Spoofs.
Review: Like Charlie Sheen in "Hotshots" and Cary Elwes in "Robin Hood, Men in Tights", the key to a successful spoof is to have the cast keep a straight face throughout all the jokes. Leslie is the king at that. The three naked guns are (along with the Austin Powers movies and Blazing saddles) the best spoofs ever made. All of Leslies others (Spy Hard, Dracula, dead and loving it, Wrongfully accused and the abominable Mr Magoo) don't even come close. 33 1/3 is my least favourite Naked Gun movie and I still watch it all the time. They are all absolutely Hillarious. Watch out for the Sperm bank scene. It is one of the funniest scenes on film.
