George Kennedy's Capt Ed Hocken, O.J.Simpson's

himself with crimes to solve, and nothing but
sheer ineptitude to help him.The plot in each

an exercise in throwing as many gags at the wall
and hoping they stick. The hit rate in the first
of the three is high enough to genuinely warrant
it being a modern day comedy classic, with clever
sight gags and more elaborate sequences keeping

sequel gets close to it, but both do have their

the latter show. Leslie Nielsen returns to his old
TV role of Lt. Frank Drebin, the deadpan idiot
with a detective's badge. The reinvention of the
failed series as a theatrical feature seems to

KeoghAirplane!The quintessential movie spoof that
spawned an entire genre of parody films, the
originalAirplane!still holds up as one of the
brightest comedic gems of the '80s, not to mention
of cinema itself (it ranked in the top 5 of
Entertainment Weekly's list of the 100 funniest
movies ever made). The humour may be low and
obvious at times, but the jokes keep coming at a
rapid-fire clip and its targets--primarily the
lesser lights of '70s cinema, from disco films to
star-studded disaster epics--are more than worthy
for send-up. If you've seen even one of the
overblownAirportmovies then you know the plot: the
crew of a filled-to-capacity jetliner is wiped out
and it's up to a plucky stewardess and a
shell-shocked fighter pilot to land the plane.
Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty are the heroes who
have a history that includes a meet-cute à
laSaturday Night Fever, a surf scene right out
ofFrom Here to Eternity, a Peace Corps trip to
Africa to teach the natives the benefits of
Tupperware and basketball, a war-ravaged recovery
room with a G.I. who thinks he's Ethel Merman (a
hilarious cameo)--and those are just the
flashbacks! The jokes gleefully skirt the
boundaries of bad taste (pilot Peter Graves to a
juvenile cockpit visitor: "Joey, have you ever
seen a grown man naked?"), with the high (low?)
point being Hagerty's intimate involvement with
the blow-up automatic pilot doll, but they'll have
you rolling on the floor. The film launched the
careers of collaborators Jim Abrahams (Big
Business), David Zucker (Ruthless People), and
Jerry Zucker (Ghost), as well as revitalized such
B-movie actors as Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves,
Robert Stack, and Leslie Nielsen, who built a
second career on films like this. A vital part of
any video collection. --Mark EnglehartTop

parodyThe Naked Gunin 1988, the comedy crew of
Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker put
together a picture that's almost as funny as their
better-known hits.Top Secret!sends up spy movies
and cheesy teen rock&roll musicals. Val Kilmer
stars as swivel-hipped American rocker Nick
Rivers, a sort of blonde Elvis whose secret weapon
is Little Richard's tune "Tutti Fruitti." On tour
behind the Iron Curtain, Nick strikes blows for
democracy overtly and covertly, with his music as
well as his espionage skills. In short, this is a
very, very silly motion picture. Some great gags,
including a subtitled scene in a Swedish book
shop, and an inspired bit with a Ford Pinto that
not everybody may get anymore. (The Pinto, you may
or may not recall, was notoriously prone to gas
tank explosions when rear-ended.) --Jim Emerson

Good comedy-Naked Gun
Review of Naked Gun (Box Set) by Taminique

Advantages: Hilarious
Disadvantages: Story line and characters not very credible

Leslie Neilsen is hilarious in these three films, he is brilliant as his character Lieutenant Frank Drebin and this really makes the films. The special effects look dated but consering this is an '80s film and the fact that it is a comedy mean that this does not detract from the enjoyment of the film. The comedy is slapstick and lighthearted, making this quite a good film for familys with older children (it is rated as a 15). For those wanting an ... Read review
