A triple helping of the successful movies based on the TV series 'Police Squad'. In 'The Naked Gun' (1988) bungling Los Angeles police lieutenant Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) is investigating potential drug smuggler Vincent Ludwig (Ricardo Montalban) when he falls for the magnate's attractive secretary, Jane Spencer (Priscilla Presley).

About this product

Product Information

In THE NAKED GUN, Lt Frank Drebin, a granite-jawed, rock-brained cop, uncovers a diabolical plot to murder the Queen of England using mind control. THE NAKED GUN 2 1/2 sees disaster-prone Frank back in Washington to receive an honour for shooting his 1000th drug dealer. When a conspiracy to influence the U.S. Government's new energy policy comes to light, our intrepid hero sets out to bring the perpetrators to justice. In THE NAKED GUN 33 1/3, Frank is coaxed out of retirement to counter a terrorist threat. And in true Drebin fashion, he manages to bungle his way through the investigation, and winds up causing havoc at a glitzy Academy Awards ceremony.

  • Despite some off-colour period humour and dodgy politics, Nielsen is hilarious as the wooden-faced, accident-prone detective, Frank Drebin

    The Naked Gun Trilogy grew out of the 1980s tv serial, `Police Squad', made by the team responsible for the earlier films, `Kentucky Fried Movie' & `Airplane!'. The three films are high budget, fast action, slapstick comedies, starring the comically wooden and terminally accident prone Leslie Nielsen & the beautiful but clueless Priscilla Presley. Nielsen's sidekicks are the ever-reliable George Kennedy & a pre-scandal OJ Simpson, who also gets into a lot of slapstick scrapes. Apart from slapstick stunts, there are a lot of juvenile sex jokes, cakes in the face, semi-nudity, and some sicker laughs about the fatal accidents Nielsen keeps causing. The first film starts with jokes of a pro-Israel, anti-Islam nature, playing on the then recent 1980 hostage crisis and the 1983 marine massacres in Lebanon. The Queen is also treated disrespectfully all through the film, though there is the backhanded complement that she is referred to as THE Queen, not the British Queen. The 2nd & 3rd films ease off controversial politics. The chemistry between Nielsen & Presley is especially good in the first film, as she actually looks only a little less than her true age, and actually interested in him. However, she has a full makeover for the 2nd & 3rd films to look like a perfect 25-year-old doll with an immobile face, and this restricts her acting range. The compensation in the 2nd film is the larger budget, enabling full-scale spoofs of some of the contemporary `Lethal Weapon' stunts. The 3rd film is more cheaply made, and goes heavier on the gutter humour. The basic plot is similar in the 3 films. A well-connected baddie, who always has Presley as his personal assistant, plans to assassinate an important person, with grave repurcussions for the USA. Nielsen is in charge of security. He usually screws up early on, and is chewed out or suspended by the Mayor. He redeems himself with the help of Presley & his police Scooby squad, and manages to save the day, usually with a large slice of pure luck. Despite the flaws, and some jokes which are no longer considered politically correct, there is something about Nielsen that is just very very funny, and I found the films immensely watchable. Overall, one of the more successful longform comedy franchises of recent decades. 7/10.
