...manage to get a National Baseketball League started. But the death of Ted Denslow puts the fate of the team into Coop's hands and thats when the trouble starts, and all sorts of wild and wacky adventures involving Jerry SPringer, Tequila Slammers, an Indian Sweatshop, Blind Children and Giant Penises. I hope this review is more helpful and has more of a review of the plot, but the film is a showcase for the talents of Parker and Stone and while being ... Read review

...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

...Barrymore. I’m talking about RUTHLESS PEOPLE, one of the greatest black comedies ever brought to the screen. After watching the dreadful adaptation of THE CAT IN THE HAT (with Mike Myers), I had to watch another film that knows how to make the audience laugh. I’ve always believed in the philosophy that comedy is all about reaction, and this film surely is all about reactions to situations that are utterly ridiculous and sometimes unbelievable. True, ...

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
