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: very funny script, funny actors
Disadvantages: not as good as the first two films

...the third film in the Naked gun series and although it isn’t as good as the first two films it is still very funny. I find all films with Leslie Nielsen to be very funny. It last for just 83 minutes and the laughs don’t seem to stop all the way through it. It is a very funny film that i think everyone should watch. ... 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: Brilliant acting, comedy, christmas!
Disadvantages: I would have love to see more christmas songs

...do start to think that Santa could be real! Its such a heart warming family film and so magnificent I would watch it again after again. The soundtrack of what they used blended brilliantly in the film. Magical music and Christmas themed songs. They weren't a lot of songs in the film, it was more special effect sounds for when Santa fell out of the sky, and when the snow fell. I think it could have been better if they used more Christmas songs in ...
...Christmas songs! I would compare this film to 'Elf' as that also was a heart-warming story and a comedy to. The story lines are completely different but the acting and the comedy range is just the same. The director of the film was William Dear. He has created many humorous films that we much love. Such as 'Harry and the Henderson's' also known as 'big foot'. 'If looks could kill' and 'school of life'. It seems to me that Williams's films just keep ... Read review
