Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult (1994)

The Naked Gun Series Ends with this Funny Romp. The Usual Suspects (actually the Police looking for the usual suspects) are back for this Romp through Film Parodies, Sight Gags, Juvenile Jokes, and the Kitchen Sink.One of the Charms of this Type of Thing is that the Rapid-Fire Pacing Never Slows and if one bit of Humor is not to Your Liking, No Worries, there is No Time to Take Offense because the Next Bit is Shoved in Your Face Faster than You can Say "Wait, What?" Leslie Nielsen, Priscilla Presley, George Kennedy, O.J. Simpson, Anna Nicole Smith, and others Lead this Keystone Kops Calamity of Comedy through the Maniacal Motions of Mayhem and Destruction. Numerous Cameos Pop in and Out for Your Viewing Pleasure.It's all Done for Fun and the Gang behind these Popular Money Makers and Audience Pleasers have No Shame and They are the Best, perhaps, at doing this sort of Harmless Nonsense.Comedy is Very Subjective and for Anyone willing to Subject Themselves to the Vibe, will no doubt, be Pleased with this Entry.Note...O.J. Simpson and to a lesser degree, Anna Nicole Smith did not have happy times after this Movie and watching this Film in retrospect does render an underling tragic feeling of sadness that can't be avoided.

Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) is now retired. Jane Spencer (Priscilla Presley) is a high powered D.A. but she has baby on the brain. Ed Hocken (George Kennedy) and Nordberg (O.J. Simpson) ask Frank to go undercover to take down a gang of terrorists planning to detonate a bomb at the Academy Awards.Sometimes a character needs to go into retirement. This is the case for Frank Drebin. It's not that the franchise has changed. In fact, the humor remains very similar. The public is just done with this character. The effort is still there with only David Zucker returning as writer. Leslie Nielsen is still inappropriately funny. The 'Untouchables' opening is lots of fun, but it's time for the franchise to go away. The franchise could never continue anyways after the OJ Simpson murder trial.

Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult is a hilarious movie with a decent storyline and yet again another brilliant and comedic performance from Leslie Nielsen as Frank Drebin.Its definitely not as good as the outstanding first Naked Gun,one of the funniest comedies ever made in my opinion,but I thought it was an improvement from the first Naked Gun,I thought there was a lot more hilarious scenes in this one and I really enjoyed the scenes at the Academy Awards towards the end of the movie.Some people may disagree,but I think this Naked Gun is an improvement over the second one and fans of the first won't enjoy it as much,but they will laugh a lot.Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) must convince a gang that he is also a criminal in order to stop a bomb from being set off at the Academy Awards.

Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) comes out of retirement to help Police Squad infiltrate a gang of terrorists planning to detonate a bomb at the Academy Awards.An excellent spoof on police and prison movies... with plenty of visual gags, quirky remarks (like the midget at the urinal). If you did not think that OJ Simpson was a funny guy, you need to see him in this role... wow, such a great actor! What can I say? Just a good, fun comedy... so sad we have lost Nielsen and Anna Nicole Smith... and OJ Simpson, sort of. At least we still have Mary Lou Retton, I guess.
