Probably the funniest sex scene I’ve ever seen and some other really great bits here and there but overall very disappointing /:

Saying I think the joke pace seriously flags and it's not as funny as the first one shouldn't give you the impression that there aren't plenty of good gags here. Plus there's the bonus nostalgia for a time when a mainstream studio comedy would make room for a Mel Torme cameo, and John Sununu jokes were the order of the day.

It's probably no real surprise to learn that I'm quite a fan of the Naked Gun films. So much so that my jaw still hurts a little after I've watched any of them from all the smiling. I used to have this and the first film on the same recordable VHS tapes and yes, they were pretty much on loop when I was in charge of the TV. It's like an old friend, Drebin and I go way back.
The belly laugh-inducing cold open, a staple of the series, is particularly inspired in this one. Although you have to feel a little…

Really funny sequel. Made me laugh the whooole time. I would do anything to give Leslie Nielsen a big hug and you know where my hand would be going.
-
Not as funny as the first and I was soon to find out... not as great as the third either.
Vegan alert:
-Bad guy talks about hunting rhino in Botswana.
-Leslie Nielsen talks about eating sea otters. -
Not as funny as the first one, and the subversive political undercurrent is mostly gone, but it's still as hilariously self aware, and the sight gags (the flowers and the blender) and background details (native Americans and zoo keepers) are as strong as ever. Better than most Obligatory Sequels.

"You're thinking about him again, aren't you... what was his name, Frank?"
"Yes"
"You just can't forget about him, can you?"
"Who?"
"Frank!"
"Oh, I try, but when you've had that much man..."Lieutenant Drebin et al. pick up the daftness where the previous film left off, refusing to grow up.
🤡 Childish
🤡 Politically incorrect
🤡 Funnier than it should be, especially after a few drinkshic.
