Review of Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult (1994) by Edward Guthmann for San Francisco Chronicle — 23 Aug 2004

The spoof-policier series is about non-stop gags, pure and simple, and this third instalment, for all its lax plotting and ludicrous characterisation, remains infinitely more pleasurable than sticking you face in a fan.

Indeed, the five minutes of the pre-credits sequence are quite possibly the funniest since the talkies came in. Thereafter, it's hit and miss, but the hits are so frequent and spot-on, you'd have to be dead (and buried) not to find the film painfully hilarious.

Inspired, inspirational, gloriously inane.
