Summary: 4 ½ hours of nakedness, what could be better?
Review: As all sequlls pretty much are, the second and third dont match the comical genious of the first. But they are two worth watching, and this box set is worth the money. Provided your into slapstick whacky comedy! Other wise youll despise and hate it.Leslie Neilson is Luetenant Frank Drebben of Police Squad. And his freind Nordberg played by O.J Simpson has almost been killed and is in critical condition after discovering somthings not right in LA...and he got a bit too close....so Frank is on the case to help out his freind. Along with George Kenndy. Along the way he discovers a plot of an attempt to murder the Queen of England. And also finds his love intrest in Presill Presley. Some of the greatest comedy moments happen in this film. And if your into silly comedys... this is truely one of the greatest! Plus you get the 2 seaqulls. They wernt quite as funny as the first.... but they have there crazy moemnts, and are worth having for the collection! You get audio commentary from the directrs, they talk about a few things in the movie, and alot about Kentucky Freid Movie and Theatre. But it would have been nicer to have some bonus features, tho they say that most of the deleted scenes ended up in the next movie!!! All in all, if you get a great price, these three movies are a must have! If you like them, I also recomend you get them with "Airplane 1 & 2" - "Kentucky Fried Movie" and "Spy Hard" which is almost Naked Gun 4!

Summary: Good, but not as great as the TV show
Review: As most Naked Gun fans know, the movies were a spin-off on the show Police Squad. The show, which only lasted 6 episodes was even more funny than the movies. Now I'm not saying the movies are bad. The movies are great, its just find it a shame that no rich tycoon in Holywood has the brains to release the funniest show to ever hit the air waves. Whoever owns the rights to the show would make a ton of money if they released it on DVD. Its a shame that [stuff] like Scarry Movie, American Pie, and all the other "comedies" now days is showed down our throats and real comedy is placed in a storehouse somewhere to rot.
But back to the movies. Buy them and watch them and if you like to laugh. And if you really love them, try to find Police Squad. I shall leave you with some advice from Frank:
"We would have come sooner but your husband wasn't dead then."

Summary: Classics
Review: Dont need to say how good these are, read some quotes. - "He's 6'3, moustache" Drebin, "Thats a big moustache"
- "Like a midget in a urinal, i was going to have to stay on my toes"
- "And then, i'll have the pleasure of killing you myself" Drebin, "The pleasure's all mine"
- "Im sure we can handle this sensibly, like the mature, responsibly adults that we are. Isnt that right Mr Poopey pants!"
- I've been dating too. Nice girl, she's an author. She wrote the book on male sexual dysfunction. You've probably read it.
-"Sorry we would have come earlier but your husband wasn't dead then."
-on Newspaper cover 'Dyslexia for cure found'

Summary: Genius
Review: In 1980 Leslie Neilson went from serious respectable roles to the doctor on board a chaos controlled plane, in the first spoof, Flying High. The Naked Gun series is the epitomy of spoof comedy. Even the final credits are hilariously funny. The right blend of serious attitudes to insanely stupid things is what makes this work. "When i see a queerly dressed man stabing someone in full view of 100 people, i shoot the bastard thats my policy!" "That was a park production of Macbeth. You killed 5 actors, good ones." Genius lines such as this fixed the first Naked Gun as a classic. The aptely named Naked Gun 2 1/2 fell right into place. "Whats he doing in the Red Light District?" " Sex Frank?" "Not right now Ed we have work to do" Even better. The third lacked the puch the other 2 had but was still hilarious. But the one defining thing for all naked guns is the credits at the begginning. The top of the police car going all sorts of places. Womens change rooms, Star Wars, the whomb and many other out of the blue locations. These are all winners!

Summary: The revival of Police Squad
Review: In the ealy 80's,Leslie Nielsen starred in a short-lived police sitcom called "Police Squad". In this 3-film collection,Nielsen starred with different actors,those that did not appear on the sitcom. In THE NAKED GUN:From The Files Of Police Squad,Officer Nordberg(O.J. Simpson) is injuriously shot by gangsters, resulting in hospitalization. The Queen of England appears at a Reds-Dodgers baseball game and is about to be shot to death by one of the players. In this film,lieutenant Frank Drebin meets Jane Spencer(Priscilla Presley) who'd later become his girlfriend. At the end,Nordberg is out of the hospital,but in a wheelchair and Frank is promoted to Captain. In the NAKED GUN 2 1/2:The Smell Of Fear,the Police Squad staff bring to justice an impostor posing as an invalid doctor who was about to give a speech at a dinner. The real doctor,with Nordberg,Frank and Ed Hocken(George Kennedy) all pose as a Mexican band. It turns out that there was a bomb about to explode inside the establishment where the dinner took place. Again,Jane is in distress and is saved by Frank. In the NAKED GUN 33 1/3:The Final Insult,Frank and Jane are now married(they became engaged in the last scene of the first film). Frank enjoys his brief retirement from the police force(Police Squad threw a party for him after 30 years of service). Post-retirement,Ed and Nordberg visit Frank,who is cooking and cleaning. Frank's retirement is paused by a desperate favor of Ed's and Nordberg's. Again,a bomb is about to explode. This time at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles,where an Oscar ceremony takes place. And again,Jane is kidnapped and rescued after her brief separation from Frank. Frank's unexpected return to Police Squad caused the separation. Then,Frank and Nordberg are about to become fathers. Frank,about to videotape the birth, does not realize he actually videotaped Nordberg's new baby! Thinking Nordberg was the father of Jane's baby,Frank chases him angrily through the halls of the hospital. Jane,in a wheelchair,cradles her and Frank's new baby. Kennedy appeared in all 3 films. Respectively,there are cameos by "Weird Al" Yankovic,Anna Nicole Smith,Vanna White and James Earl Jones. Singer Robert Goulet appeared in the second film as a devious businessman who kidnaps Jane.

Summary: The Three All-Time Best Movies Wrapped Together!
Review: Once upon a time, specifically in 1982, there was a hapless cop named Frank Drebin. He had his own TV series on ABC called "Police Squad." This show showed that Frank usually had no clue as to what was going on around him (much less what he himself was doing), yet somehow he always managed to catch the bad people. And all of this while hiarlity ensued. The show lasted for an entire 6 episodes, at which time Frank Drebin faded off into TV's never, never land. Or so we thought! In 1988, the creators of the airport farce "Airplane" found Frank Drebin wandering the streets and thought it would be a good idea to bring him to the big screen. After all, they thought, what could it hurt? Certainly not their careers, since they were the ones that created Frank Drebin in the first place. And so Frank Drebin was released onto the unsuspecting public once again. And just like the first time, hilarity ensued. The "Naked Gun" movies are three of the best comedies ever made. Just ask any diehard fan, and chances are they will start quoting line after line at you. Unless, of course, they fall down on the floor rolling with laughter from just thinking about the movies (we fans have been known to do that). "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad" is the first movie in the series. Frank Drebin, played by the wonderfully talented Leslie Nielsen, is investigating the shooting of his partner Nordberg (played by O.J. Simpson.... yes, that O.J. Simpson). During his bumbling investigation, Drebin manages to come across a plan to kill the Queen of England, who just happens to be in town for a visit. Score one for Drebin, right? Wrong. He manages to torch the building he's in. In an attempt to save the Queen, Frank Drebin makes a mockery of America's pasttime, baseball. Hilarity, of course, ensues. "The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell Of Fear" opens to find that Frank and Jane (played in all three movies by the talented Priscilla Presley) never went through with their wedding and have gone their separate ways. An explosion in a research facility where Jane works brings the two of them back together. Frank haplessly pursues the man behind the bombings, which, of course, just happens to be Jane's new boyfriend. When Frank manages to foil a murder attempt on Jane, the two of them can no longer deny their feelings forever. They promptly make a mockery of the movie "Ghost" and, naturally, hilarity ensues. "Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult" opens with Jane now a lawyer, who happens to be in a courtroom full of women with their babies. But alas, Jane doesn't have a baby yet. And, naturally, she blames it on Frank, who blames Jane for taking him away from Police Squad. When Jane catches Frank helping his former partners with a case, she leaves him and proceeds to make a mockery of "Thelma and Louise." With nothing else to lose, Frank decides to help his Police Squad buddies with catching a bomber who is currently in prison. Through a twist-of-fate (or is it a giant plot hole?), our favorite couple reunite. Unfortunately, Frank has to pretend he doesn't know her, takes her hostage, and then everyone heads to the Shrine Auditorium to make a complete mockery of the Academy Awards (or has the Academy Awards already made a mockery of itself?). Total hilarity ensues. The "Naked Gun" series, though flawed at times, contains three of the best slapstick comedies out there this side of Monty Python. These movies can be watched again and again, and each time you see them you will catch another joke or spot another gag that you haven't seen before. And if you are like me, you will start laughing way before the joke appears, much to the aggravation of anyone watching it with you. Because the movies were made before the era of DVD, the special features in the DVD are a little lacking. However, each movie does come with a running commentary with David Zucker and Robert Weiss (Peter Segal and Michael Ewing join for the third one). All three commentaries prove to be as funny as the movies themselves. Which, of course, means hilarity ensues.
