Again not in the same league as the classic original, but the third and final Naked Gun is a step up from the second - mainly because it adopts a different narrative formula than the first two, while still putting Frank Drebin in situations only he can uniquely create carnage with. Plus it has it's fair few golden comic lines:
"Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes."
"Like a blind man at an orgy, I was going to have to feel my way through."
"Cheer up, Ed. This is not goodbye. It's just I won't ever see you again."
"If Rocco finds out you're a cop, you might end up dead!"…

The 70s flashback scene had me in stitches!

An occasionally very funny spoof film that probably isn't as good as the originals but reminded me that I'd forgotten how funny this type of film can be. It doesn't reach the heights of Airplane (pardon the pun) nor does it really live up to the previous 2 in the franchise, but it does have some great snappy one-liners, quick-fire jokes and the usual slapstick chicanery. It's a better series than Hot Shots too.

Who do we all love....Leslie Nielsen thats who.....This film is nothing new in comparison to the other Naked Gun series, but it is still amazingly funny. You can only compare it to another Naked Gun film and if you compare it to an other parody comedy then it always comes out on top. The jokes never stop and the humor is just childish and continuous. The difference of quality is Nielsen and the saddest thing about watching this film is that it will remind you that Leslie Nielsen is dead and he will not make anymore of these great comedies. This review is turning into a tribute and why not, it is historical stuff. Nobody can be as dead pan as Nielsen and ever since Airplane he has made his mark. love it for being what it is, a bit of a laugh with side splitting scenarios along the way.

It's a Naked Gun film. It's one of those series that you either enjoy or you don't, and the third installemnt isn't going to change your mind about it. However, if you enjoyed the first and midly enjoyed the second, this one I'd put squarely in the middle. It's a fun time, but if you need something to be hilarious, I recommend the first one over this anyday.

I was picking a friend up at his house to go see the latest Naked Gun movie at the local dollar theater back in 1994. His parents were watching a news program that was discussing the OJ Simpson car chase. Made for a really odd viewing of this film.

Leslie Nielson is always hilarious. I would have preferred something more clever and less slapstick-y, but I laughed.
-
This movie tried way too hard and fell flat more often than it hit. Leslie Nielsen's slapstick is good for a few laughs, but there's nothing remotely clever or at this point even creative.
-
Not as good as the first two, but still full of cheesy laughs. It dated itself somewhat by commenting on current events, but I'll take the weakest Naked Gun over the best ScaryDisasterMovie any day.

It starts with an extended Untouchables parody. This is more like it.

Never thought this Police Squad/Airplane/Naked Gun brand of humor would get old. I was wrong. In order for it to work it has to be done with flair - not paint by numbers. Definitely lost its inner mojo.

Best Oscars ever.
