Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: I wish there was more of them

Three films based around the Police Squad TV Series, If you have seen Airplane! or Airplane 2 then this is basically the same type of humour. Its what you would expect with a Leslie Neilson movie. Leslie Neilson plays the main character (Lt. Frank Drebin) an Unproffessional yet dedicated cop (The whole station is the same). The film is hillairious from start to finish with "stupid" humour pranks and stunts, If this film doesnt have you laughing ... Read review

Advantages: Very funny, quite witty at points, Leslie Neilson
Disadvantages: OJs in it

...seen other movies in the Naked Gun trilogy in the past and my dad used to be quite the fan, though he's seen them too many times now I believe, my mum is fed up of such movies so I watched this one in my own time lol. It was shown during the New Year holidays on TV and I decided to record it for later enjoyment, so I watched it last night and here's what its all about as well as my take on it, of course. - Main Credits (non-actors, which are mentioned ...
...main acting cast) - Naked Gun brings lieutenant Frank Drebin (played by Leslie Neilson) onto the big screen, in the first of three 'Naked Gun' movies. The character originally appeared in the TV comedy show 'Police Squad'. In this particular movie, as he tries to find out who tried to kill his friend and partner Detective Nordberg (played by OJ Simpson, yes 'that' OJ), after he tried to take down a gang of criminals who had been shipping in heroin ...

Advantages: as strong (if not stronger) than the first film
Disadvantages: some gags a bit too predictable

Naked Gun 2 ½ - The Smell of Fear Review Background One of my early memories as a child was the huge poster in the local video shop window of The Naked Gun with a picture of a rather old looking, grey haired James Bond-esque character on the front. I more vividly remember my mum taking the extreme micky out of the fact that I pronounced it the "knackered" gun. Little did I know that my Dad would later drill the trilogy of the films ...
...knows from the same writers (Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker), 'Airplane'. Naked Gun derived from the short lived TV series Police Squad, which became more cult than successful in the United States. Its main character, Frank Drebin, (Leslie Neilson) is a cop with a knack of getting to the bad guys but not really with any conviction of meaning to. In the first film he stops a plot to kill the Queen whilst falling in love with the villain's assistant ... Read review

Advantages: Great Comedy Film
Disadvantages: none

"Airplane" has to be one of the funniest films in aviation history. The storyline to Airplane involves a failed relationship between a beautiful cabin attendant (Julie Hagerty) and an ex-military pilot (Robert Hays) who can't let go of his past. He buys himself a plane ticket on the flight she is working on in an attempt to get his girlfriend back, but when all the pilots have bad fish for their lunch, Ted Stryker has to let go of his past, put ...
...up to the flight deck to save the day. This movie is made hysterically funny by scenes that include the ticket desk issuing a "smoking" ticket, "Puttona de seatbeltz" signs, and air traffic controllers pulling the plug on the runway lighting when the stricken aircraft is on finals to land. The great part of this paticular DVD are the special features or the Safety Features which include : Commentary from the writer, directors and producer Jon ... Read review

Advantages: Non-stop laughter !!!!
Disadvantages: A little old......but oldies r the best !

I absolutely adore these two films, they make my side split with laughter from begining to end !!!! if you are not a fan of spoof and silly humour you may not apreciate them but if you are ever down in the dumps watch one of these, if you don't laugh or smile you need sectioning ha ha !!!! Airplane details the story of Ted Striker an ex-fighter pilot who is forced to take control of an airliner when its crew are taken ill with food poisoning. His ...
...ordeal and with the likes of Leslie Neilson and Llyod Bridges as co stars you can imagine the amount of slapstick comedy involved. Airplane 2 follows a similar story but this time with a space shuttle instead of a plane. The shuttle should have never been allowed to go and with a suicidal bomber on board and the ships supply of coffee about to run out the lunacy continues. p.s - watch out for a suprise glance of the SS Enterprise and captain Kirk ...
