Summary: You'll get gas from laughing so hard!
Review: I saw this movie at the cinema, and when I walked out of the darkened theatre my sides hurt so much from laughing you would have sworn I was suffering from appendicitis, and I rivalled Niagara Falls in my crying - the tears were just streaming down my face!

This inane, farcical comedy has got to be one of the funniest films ever released. It's silly, but the silliness is funny and not pointless. Even the cameo actors are houmourous! Leslie Nielsen is fantastic as the deadpan, very moronic Frank Drebin, a bumbling detective who wouldn't know a criminal from a saint, and George Kennedy and OJ Simpson are perfect foils for his lunacy. (I'm surprised. I said something NICE about OJ Simpson!) And Priscilla Presley has never looked better. She and Leslie Nielsen have a chemistry between them that is lacking in many serious or other comedy movies. What can I say? This movie is great! I order you to stop reading these reviews and go and rent or buy this movie! Believe me, you won't regret it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Laughing Out Loud!
Review: If you hate to laugh then don't watch this movie! I couldn't stop laughing from beginning to end! I remember Leslie Nielsen from the old "Tammy & The Bachelor" movie, but I didn't think much of him until now. Even my kids know him because of the hilarious "Naked Gun" movies. It's true that the others weren't as funny as the first, but they were still real good! Even Priscilla Presley! She's as crazy as Nielsen! Just sit back, laugh and enjoy because it's just that funny! Good job Zuckers!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mercilessly funny
Review: Non-stop slapstick attack from the ZAZ ("Airplane!", "Kentucky Fried Movie") crew. Straight-arrow Nielsen is perfect as idiot cop Lt Frank Drebin, who couldn't fight crime if he sat on it. O.J. Simpson's appearance is only made all the more surreal and bizarre by his real-life legacy. Cameos and celebrity impersonators abound.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An all time favorite film for us french,
Review: first of all, sorry for my bad english, but when I saw that the Naked Gun DVDs were going to be released in the next couple of month, I couldn't help but start smiling like the dumb french I am. Leslie Nielsen is our old time favorite comic actor here in Europe.This movie is packed with so much fun that it could be really dangerous for your health. Zucker 's film is excellent and I can't wait to have it. Order your copy now and you'll die of pleasure while looking at Leslie playing this dumb old cop and doing every stupidity you can't even dream of. A must have ,thanks to my fun dealer.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Classic Slapstick
Review: Great comedy from the Zucker brothers. Nielson at his best, and even O.J. when he was still liked by the public. A must have for any comic fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just as good as Airplane! if not better
Review: This film hits all the right buttons! Hillarious word-play, visual puns, and deadpan delivery from Neilson make this one of my all-time favorite comedies. Throw in Priscilla Presley as the sultry love interest, Ricardo Montalban as the villian and you've got comedy gold. And despite his trouble in court, I've always loved O.J. Simpson in the Naked Gun trilogy. If you've been living under a rock for the past decade, run out and SEE THIS FILM!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the funniest parody films ever.
Review: The Naked Gun movies are tough to describe. They aren't very artistic or original, but they are darn funny. The first film in the series is the best (the two sequels retain about 50% of the first film's laughs).

Here, as in many other Zucker comedies, the focus is on send-ups of other movies. However, where they focused on sketch comedy in Kentucky Fried Movie, and the sports movie with Caddyshack and BASEketball, here they do specific films. Popular films of the 80's are referenced several times, with hilarious (usually) results. A typical joke involves a malfunctioning espresso machine serviced by "Scotty" (Star Trek's James Doohan), who can't make a good cup of coffe because "I'm giving it all I've got. She needs more power!"

Overall, these movies are what I call "dumb-funny." There is nothing redeeming or artistic about their humor, they just make you laugh.

This DVD also includes a comentary from the team behind the film, and if it is anything like the one they recorded for Kentucky Fried, it is worth the price of admission on its own.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Leslie Nielsen's Best!
Review: Through the eyes of many, this was the movie that started it all for Leslie Nielsen. Together with Priscilla Presley, O.J. Simpson and others, Leslie plays Frank Drebin. Throughout the course of the movie, one can't help but laugh at the comical Nielsen. He tries to stop a mind control scheme to assassinate Queen Elizabeth. While searching for clues, he starts a suspect's house on fire, beats up an umpire in the back before a baseball game, frisks baseball players during the game, and causes other goofy things to happen. You have to hear him sing the national anthem. I really don't want to give anything away, but if you like to laugh, this is definately your movie. If you like a movie that makes sense and has a real thick, heavy plot, this movie might insult your intelligence. If you like to sit and laugh without caring about a plot or character formation(think National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon), you won't regret this purchase.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: All you can do is laugh
Review: If you liked Airplane (and who didn't) then you'll love the story of Frank Drebin, the completely incompetant police detective. Leslie Nielsen takes centre stage is this hilarious comedy that's guaranteed to make you laugh. Sure it wont blow your mind, but the sight gags and one-liners are priceless

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A classic comedy!
Review: Don't miss this one for anything! Leslie Neilson is brilliantly casted as Frank Drebin, a clueless cop who thinks a pillow is capable of murder! This is one of the greatest comedies of all time!
