Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult (1994)

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

After many years serving in Police Squad, and numerous criminals gunned down, Frank Drebin has retired but still dreams of fighting crime. When Police Squad learn that incarcerated terrorist Rocco Dillon is planning another outrage; to discover his target they ask Frank to return for one last case… much to the annoyance of his wife Jane. Frank goes to prison undercover and is put in Rocco's cell; he isn't there for long though as shortly after befriending Rocco the pair break out. Once out they are picked up by Rocco's mother then meet up with his voluptuous girlfriend Tanya. It emerges that Rocco is planning to bomb the Oscar ceremony with a device planted in one of the winners envelopes… if Frank is to stop him he will have to get up on stage and retrieve the envelope… hopefully nobody will notice!As one would expect this film is full of laughs from start to finish. It opens with a very funny spoof of a famous scene from 'The Untouchables', itself a reference to the 'Odessa Steps' scene in 'Battleship Potemkin. Plenty more films are spoofed/referenced throughout the film; most notably 'White Heat', 'The Great Escape' and 'Thelma and Louise'… these are fun extras for those who get the references but it doesn't matter if one doesn't realise another film is being referenced as they are funny in their own right. The humour is of course very forced but that doesn't matter… it is trying to be silly fun and succeeds. Leslie Nielsen is great as Drebin; managing to act straight even when his character is being utterly ridiculous. Some of the supporting cast are a bit ropy but that doesn't matter as they provide some extra accidental laughs. The humour is fairly slapstick and for the most part inoffensive; there are some gags that make the film unsuitable for younger viewers… unless parents feel comfortable explaining the joke about Frank giving numerous 'samples' at a fertility clinic! Overall a funny conclusion to this hilarious trilogy.

This movie is so awful. It is not funny. It just stupid. Why do it get 6.4. This movie is just overrated and stupid. Do not see this movie it is awful. I can not believe something so badly written could be so popular. This movie is just so stinky. Do not see it. It is a wast of time. It is a wast of money. It is an insult all rite. An insult to the audience. The movie is awful. It is one of the worst comedy movies ever made. This movie such crap. People say that it is funny. But there do not see it more then once. And they do not remember it. If you want to see something funny see Rich Little's Christmas carol. Do not see this dumb not funny movie. Stay away unless you want do be ripped off.

Frank Drebin comes out of retirement to help Police Squad infiltrate a gang of terrorists planning to detonate a bomb at the Academy Awards. This is probably the worst of the sequels, with nothing to laugh at, though the Jim Henson creations are well made The story is well told and gives you a good idea of how a cop named Frank becomes the hero. My only problem with the film was the supporting cast, but it's still okay. Some of the dialog could be better. The real centerpiece of the film is its slapstick. The plot is not as well thought out as the original, but it still does the cast well. It's "Die Hard in a Donut Box."

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.
