Very disappointing...

hyped garbage

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I saw this movie in my last year of high school and i did it because the first movie was excellent: this one is as good and like Pee-Wee, i remember to have laugh all along the screening (especially, the dogs, the skin mark,...): what is good with this franchise is that the case are more or less serious, the detectives are more or less bright: thus, all the background is believable but at the end, the scenes come up totally crazy and funny! Late Leslie was a bit like our french FUFU, sadly underrated for his talent and never recognized as a true actor while comedy needs a real discipline and self-control! His buddy and miss Presley are a good team too and if you seek for American comedies that are really funny, check this franchise without any doubts!

When a comedy frequently makes you laugh so much that you cry, it kind of transcends the typical critical analysis, and that's the case for me and "Naked Gun 2 & 1/2". All I can say is that this crazy, wild spoof has a higher hits-over-misses ratio than most of the other films in this genre that I've seen so far. The gags are well-thought-out - notice, for example, the one where George Bush (yes, George Bush) is talking about oil energy and budget cuts while the action we are seeing parallels his words. But besides all that, the film actually has a plot (!), and a remarkably topical and progressive political edge! They truly don't make them like this anymore. *** out of 4.

The three "Naked Gun" movies from 1988, 1991 and 1994 are all extremely goofy comedies starring Lesley Nielsen, Priscilla Presley, George Kennedy and OJ Simpson. They're consistently amusing and, pretty much, interchangeable. The first two were hugely successful at the box office; the third one didn't do bad, but nowhere near as good as the first two. Whether or not you prefer one to another depends on the story and guest stars.As far as the two sequels go, I slightly prefer part 3, but all three come in handy when you want to turn off your brain and enjoy something silly. Priscilla was one of the most beautiful women to walk the planet in her prime and looks great these films.The film runs 85 minutes and was shot in the Los Angeles area and Washington DC.GRADE: B

A better sequel than most, as it makes fun of several old movies. Great impressions of George Bush Sr., Mandela and Winnie, etc. The opening "White House Reception" is hilarious, as Drebin knocks out Barbara Bush, and his lobster's claw "attacks" the police commissioner at the dinner table. Bob Goulet makes a great villain as the evil head of "Kaboom"! Prof. Meinheimer almost puts everyone to sleep as he explains his anti-nuclear energy policy to a "distinguished" audience. The best of all is the send-up of Zucker's own production of "Ghost", as Drebin and his girlfriend Jane (Priscilla Presley) spoof the pottery wheel love-making scene, complete with the obligatory Righteous Bros. songs and Drebin's huge, fake barrel chest! Every sexual cliché in the book is used here: trains going thru tunnels, rockets going off, gushing fire hydrants, "pointed obelisk" monuments raising up (a 1953 "Ten Commandments" clip!). Drebin wrecks The city zoo with the police assault tank, and all the animals escape. Several mentions of bodily functions, a few "t&a" shots (mostly rear ends), most of which are cut out of the "broadcast" version. Other goodies: Zsa Zsa Gabor's famous police-cussing scene. Nordburg gets thrown under a bus (on it's way to Detroit!) The shower scene (not exactly as Hitchcock did it.) The "It's a Cookbook" reference to the old Twilight Zone "To Serve Man" episode. The "Goldfinger time-bomb" gimmick. A relatively weak ending, as Drebin pushes Mrs. Bush off the balcony and she "moons" everybody. Far better than the third movie, however.
