Parker Lewis I've just finished watching O.J. Simpson: Made in America, and I was thinking about O.J.'s appearances as Detective Nordberg in The Naked Gun movies. Sure, it may be taboo to refer to his acting turns in comedy like The Naked Gun, but he was admittedly very funny in his role. Also hilarious was when Lieutenant Drebin was in the Blue Note and you saw famous photos of the Hindenberg tragedy, the Titanic sinking, and then Michael Dukakis (he lost the unloseable US presidential election in 1988 after being so far ahead in the polls). You also saw a photo of the famous Chamberlain appeasement photo.

Robert Ivey MOVIE 2 OUT OF 4 ON MY LESLIE NIELSEN QUADRILOGY! In this flick Lt Frank Drebin, after saving the Queen, discovers that there's somebody who wants to impersonate the world-renowned scientist Dr. Meinheimer so he can do his evil schemes. I was... Well, significantly impressed by this film. I didn't expect it to be nearly as good as the first one, but hey, it was pretty darn close. The beginning of the movie didn't give me all that many laughs, but by the second part, I was laughing at every other scene. Good ol' Leslie Nielsen and his silver hair return as Frank Drebin of the infamous Police Squad! He is, of course, his usual bumbling unaware deadpan comedic cop. Also in this movie is Dr. Meinheimer, played by the silly ol' Richard Griffiths. A wheelchair bound doctor who was kidnapped by the impostor, also played by Richard Griffiths. Priscilla Presley returns as Jane Spencer too, in scenes that were even funnier than the first movie. I really loved the part where Drebin was trying to break free from his ropes and items kept on falling on Meinheimer's head, eventually knocking him out. I also enjoyed the bit where Drebin, assuming the fake Meinheimer was still on stage, took off his pants (and underwear) and tried to wash off what he thought was a fake birthmark. And finally the scene where Drebin inflates a hit-man intending to kill Jane with a water hose. All of those were wonderful scenes. In the end, I rate this an 8 out of 10.

gridoon2018 When a comedy frequently makes you laugh so much that you cry, it kind of transcends the typical critical analysis, and that's the case for me and "Naked Gun 2 & 1/2". All I can say is that this crazy, wild spoof has a higher hits-over-misses ratio than most of the other films in this genre that I've seen so far. The gags are well-thought-out - notice, for example, the one where George Bush (yes, George Bush) is talking about oil energy and budget cuts while the action we are seeing parallels his words. But besides all that, the film actually has a plot (!), and a remarkably topical and progressive political edge! They truly don't make them like this anymore. *** out of 4.

OllieSuave-007 This is the sequel to David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams' first Naked Gun movie, a film bringing back Leslie Nielson as Lt. Frank Drebin, where we get to see the Los Angeles police detective in his funny blundering ways again, out to foil evil businessman and his ex-girlfriend's new beau Quentin Hapsburg's (Robert Goulet) plan to escape solar-energy advocate Dr Mainheimer (Richard Griffith).Like the first film, it's non-stop laughs from start to finish that that will result in tears in your eyes and side-splitting stomaches. The characters are calm and serious in their demeanor, but delivering outrageously humorous dialog and slapstick action. Drebin and Jane Spencer's (Priscilla Presley) wacky dance scene and the hilarious portrayals of George H.W. and Barbara Bush are my favorites scenes in the movie. The famous love scene from the movie "Ghost" is parodied here by Drebin and Spencer, humorously done. Unlike the first one, there is a political tone to this sequel, but it pokes fun at both sides of the spectrum.The jokes, one-liners and gags are endless, helped by the fast-paced plot and great acting. Pure entertainment! Grade A
