Review of The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) by Michael D — 11 Nov 2016

With HollyWood nowadays you come to see all of the same movies. Sure they have different plots and different casts. But it's really the same movie. You have your Horror movies and then dramas and then action movies.

We as audiences wanted something completely different. Now I'm not saying that I hate these kinds of films but I wanted new ideas instead of reboots. Thus The Naked Gun was born. Well I can't really say that this movie was original because was based on a TV show.

But this gave us something new for audiences to sink their teeth in. Thus with The Naked Gun, the spoof genre was born cranking out film like Scary Movie and Epic Movie. The Naked Gun combines some of the funniest humor that you can get from a film.

It's like the filmmakers of this movie were like "If we're going to scoff all of these spy movies, then we have to do it right"! And the filmmakers clearly show it. This film not only combines the best speaking humor, but also the best visual humor.

And this movie is jam-packed with all of this kin of humor. Like in one scene Frank (Leslie Nielsen) says "Nice Beaver". The girl Jane (Priscilla Presely) says "Thank you, I just had it stuffed" She then pulls down an actual stuffed Beaver from the attic.

When you watch the movie and see the joke you'll get it. The Naked Gun is a funny comedy and I totally recommend it.
