Amazon.co.uk Review
Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker, the creative troika behind Airplane!, scored another hit with this big-screen adaptation of their short-lived television show Police Squad!. Deadpan as ever, Leslie Nielsen revives his TV role of Lt Frank Drebin, the idiot with a detective's badge. The jokes come thick and fast, gathering a momentum that lasts until the final act. Ricardo Montalban is a perfect foil as a villain whose aquarium is invaded by Drebin during routine questioning, and George Kennedy is delightful in a self-parodying part as an earnest but obtuse lawman. There's a hilarious bit when Drebin--wearing a live police wire while going to the bathroom--can be overheard over the loudspeakers at a speech given by a flustered mayor (Nancy Marchand). And yes, that's OJ Simpson as a detective who ends up on the wrong side of numerous Drebin blunders. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

 The word on the street... March 15, 2000

Not to be confused with a 1956 film of the same name, 'The Naked Gun' is an 80-minute version of a 'Police Squad' episode, and it's just as funny as the original TV series. Leslie Nielsen, the ultimate straight-faced comic, returns as the bumbling Frank Drebbin in a movie where he exposes a plot to assassinate the Queen (yes, of England). The supporting cast is truly bizarre, featuring Weird Al Yankovic, Priscilla Presley and OJ Simpson (before all that murder-trial business). The list of good quotes is endless, but my favourite is an exchange between Drebbin and the city's mayor. Frank echoes Dirty Harry, saying, "When I see five weirdos stabbing a guy in broad daylight, I shoot the bastards. That's my policy." The Mayor responds: "That was a 'Shakespeare In The Park' production, you moron! You killed five actors!".
 Great Spoof March 15, 2000

If you love Airplane then you will certainly love this film. A total spoof full of bad one liners and great gags that will have you rolling on the floor in fits of laughter. The story is not relevant as you will be to busy laughing.
The most funniest movie of all time! December 22, 2000

The naked Gun is simply one of the bes comidies, that I have ever seen. Lt. Frank Dreban, is excellent in this movie.A real must buy for anyone.
A very funny film February 23, 2001
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I watched this after watching the other 2 in the series, and so I was slightly disappointed, but then the other 2 Naked gun films were incredibly funny, and this raised my expectation a bit. However, this is also very very funny, it probably that the other films, were just as funny, and I hadn't laughs as much in ages. This film throws sense, plot and to some extent taste out of the window, and just concentrates on making you laugh, which is does all the way through. Great film, just buy it if you want a laugh.
