This movie is sooooooo funny!!! one of the best....the sequels are just as good and it is easily as funny as airplane and austin powers.

This is a classic example of how to make a silly film funny, without reverting to gross-out jokes. In the vein of Airplane & Mel Brooks' movies, this is stupid stupid comedy that works and makes you laugh simply because it is so stupid!!! The actors play it deadpan making it all the funnier and the jokes flow with relentless fluidity...never giving you a chance to forget that this is nothing more than a silly fun movie. A great way to spend an hour and a half and you're guaranteed to be in a better mood afterwards!… Expand

Best comedy film of all time! Leslie Nielson at his greatest.

All Naked Gun shows are excellent cable fare - utilitarian and already paid for. You can watch the start, then later catch the remainder during a hangover without the annoyance of having to refresh the continuity. Chewing gum for the eyes and chloroform for the troubled mind.

I'm still trying to watch this movie through without hurting myself laughing.

This is the funniest movie of all time- right above the Airplane! movies.

It's one of the funniest movies i have ever seen.

If you watch this, and you have the same sense of humor, you'll laugh your pants off!

Queen Elizabeth coming to the US, bloke from Fantasy Island wants her dead, Frank Drebbin tries to stop him. I have seen this before & although not as funny as I remember it, there still are some very funny lines & scenes in it. Priscilla Presley is gorgeous & Leslie Nielsen & George Kennedy are excellent.

One of the best, if not THE best, slapstick movie ever created. The fast-paced gags and visual humor will give even the angriest person a big fat smirk on their face. While not perfect in every way, it's so darn good I can't help but overlook those minor annoyances and give it a full ten out of ten.

With non-stop laughs and a terribly brilliant plot, 'The Naked Gun' is a classic gem, and possibly Leslie Nielson's funniest film (maybe just beaten by 'Flying High').

2005: Serenity is released, a continuation of a brilliant TV show which had little viewers and was cancelled after one season. But that wasn't the first instance of that happening. 1988: The Naked Gun is released, 6 years after the cancellation of the TV series Police Squad! There were a number of character changes, like Officer Norberg, a caucasian character, becoming OJ Simpsons character, Officer Nordberg, but are we really complaining? After returning from taking down a terrorist act made up of famous leaders, in one of the films best scenes, Lieutenant Frank Drebin begins working on a case where his best friend and partner, Officer Nordberg, is hospitalised and framed for dealing in heroin. Along his investigation, Frank comes across his love interest, Jane Spencer (Priscilla Presley) and her employer, Ludwig (played by Khan himself, Ricardo Montalban), with the latter involved in a plot to assassinate the queen through post hypnotic suggestions. When you read the plot, it sounds utterly ridiculous, and in any other movie, the plot would fail along with the film, but this movie makes it work. The Naked Gun knows exactly what it is, a slapstick humourous take on cop films, and it takes that ludicrous plot and makes it work, and it doesn't hurt that they add some hilarious moments. One of the films best ever scenes includes an encounter at the hospital which follows up into a car chase. Another brilliant moment includes Frank investigating into Ludwigs office at night, which manages to include fire, a concrete **** (i'm not joking here) and a possible sexual harrasment case against the poor lieutenant. The Naked Gun is also something which is rare nowadays: A good spoof movie. The reason it doesnt fail like the spoof movies which have been released in the past decade or so is because it doesn't try to spoof films directly, therefore not having any original or funny jokes. It spoofs a genre, police films, and makes its own way rather than recycling plot points form movies in the same genre, and it manages to make original AND funny jokes. The Naked Gun stars the late, yet great Leslie Nielsen as Lieutenant Frank Drebin of the Police Squad. He says some hilarious things and does a lot of slapstick throughout, but plays it all off completely straight faced, and it utterly works. Frank Drebin does some stupid things, but thanks to Nielsens brilliant performance, you can see that he doesn't acknowledge these things as stupid, just merely believes its all right in the line of duty. Oh, and you have to give props for this snippet of dialogue: "When I see five men stabbing a poor man to death in plain view, surrounded by eyewitnesses', I shoot the bastards, thats my policiy" "That was a Shakespeare in the park performance of Julius Caeser. You shot five actors, good ones!" I have never done this before, but this film deserves it. Below are a list of Youtube links to some of The Naked Guns scenes, if you want to see what the fuss is all about, if you want to revisit one of the best comedies of the 80s or if you just want a damn good laugh.

The first film in the Naked Gun series, which spawned from prematurely axed TV series Police Squad! is a rapid-fire comedy festooned with slapstick, puns and surreal humour. It's one of the best products of the Zuker, Abrahams and Zucker partnership (falling only slightly short of the brilliant Airplane!) and certainly the best film David Zucker has directed solo. Leslie Nielsen gives the performance of his career as Lt. Frank Drebin - his deadpan delivery and mastery of slapstick making him the perfect comedy anchor that holds the film together. Priscilla Presley and George Kennedy also impress as Frank's muse, Jane Spencer and exasperated police chief Capt. Ed Hocken. The film has a huge variety of gags - whether you love slapstick, wordplay, visual jokes or parody you'll find plenty to make you chuckle. There are a couple of jokes that don't quite hit the mark, but they hardly matter as there's always something else to laugh at before you've even had time to stop smiling. The film owes a lot to The Pink Panther in terms of comic style, and Frank Drebin is basically an updated Inspector Clouseau, but Leslie Nielsen is a fine comedian, just as Peter Sellers was, and he, along with Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker manage to make the Naked Gun films rival (if not exceed) those 60s and 70s comedy classics. It's quite simply hilarious, extremely enjoyable, and just as silly (in a good way) as it ever was.… Expand

This had been my undisputed #1 comedy film for a long time. It's one of these movies you can watch over and over again. The comedic genius is over flowing and Leslie Nielsen is perfect. Be sure to keep your eyes on the background or you'll miss it all.

The Naked Gun is a Comedy Classic that feature some of the Best In Slapstick also with Leslie Nielson at his best this is a Movie that Will Bring The Laughs No Matter when you see it

With quite the lengthy title It's satifsying that the movie itself is exactly the opposite, in no way being tiresome or tedious. 'The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!' in the first film in It's respective trilogy and proves that movie adaptations based on television programs can indeed work if excelled at. If you're a fan of laugh-a-minute, side-splitting comedies then this flick WILL bring about the funnies in more ways than one. Simply put, It's slapstick comedy at Its near-finest and is one of the best flicks I have over my entire life.… Expand
