Editorial Reviews

The usual way of the world is that sequels amount to thinner and thinner carbon copies of the original. But not in the case of Naked Gun movies, which only seemed to get funnier with each new entry. This third episode in the series finds Lieutenant Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) retired from his police squad and married to the woman of his dreams (Priscilla Presley). But he is pressed back into action to infiltrate a group of terrorists who plan to blow up the Oscars. The filmmakers make hay with spoofs of prison films and, particularly, of the Oscars themselves, in an award-show send-up that includes such real-life stars as Raquel Welch and Pia Zadora--and Drebin being mistaken for Phil Donahue. The takeoff on the dreadful production numbers that always drag out the Academy Awards will have you howling. --Marshall Fine

4.0 out of 5 stars Leslie Neilsen..... The God of Spoofs., November 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Naked Gun 33 1/3 - The Final Insult [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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.

This review is from: The Naked Gun 33 1/3 - The Final Insult (DVD)

Naked Gun is one of the few series that was never short on laughs or gags as time and sequels went on. Leslie is again Frank Dremond, now a retired cop making brownies. But Police Squad calls him back for help. It seems terrorists (lead by the infamous Papsmeir!) is planning on blowing up the Academy Awards, not a bad idea if you think about it, but they must be stopped.

The Sperm bank and prison scenes had me howling with laughter, and Anna Nicole Smith had me howling like a wolf in heat. Also catch Raquel Welch at the awards giving an introduction with Leslie Neilsen disguised as Phil Donahue.

This film rocks from beginning to end.

OMG, this movie is beyond belief and funnier than life itself. Leslie Nielson really perfected the role as Frank Drebin. I didn't care for the sequences that were about Frank's wife, Jane. However, Frank himself was unbelievable, especially at the academy awards, where he made a giant spectacle of himself. I really laughed when he ran off stage, saw tanya, and when she tried to seduce him, you should've seen the look on his face when he saw that she had a......well I can't say. You'd have to see for yourself. It was hilarious. This movie is timeless, and priceless. This belongs in the collection of any true comedy fan.
