The Naked Gun 33 1/3 - The Final Insult (1994)

The usual way of the world is that sequels amount to thinner and thinner carbon copies of the original. But not in the case of Naked Gun movies, which only seemed to get funnier with each new entry. This third episode in the series finds Lieutenant Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) retired from his police squad and married to the woman of his dreams (Priscilla Presley). But he is pressed back into action to infiltrate a group of terrorists who plan to blow up the Oscars. The filmmakers make hay with spoofs of prison films and, particularly, of the Oscars themselves, in an award-show send-up that includes such real-life stars as Raquel Welch and Pia Zadora--and Drebin being mistaken for Phil Donahue. The takeoff on the dreadful production numbers that always drag out the Academy Awards will have you howling. --Marshall Fine Amazon.com

The funniest of all time

OMG, this movie is beyond belief and funnier than life itself. Leslie Nielson really perfected the role as Frank Drebin. I didn't care for the sequences that were about Frank's wife, Jane. However, Frank himself was unbelievable, especially at the academy awards, where he made a giant spectacle of himself. I really laughed when he ran off stage, saw tanya, and when she tried to seduce him, you should've seen the look on his face when he saw that she had a......well I can't say. You'd have to see for yourself. It was hilarious. This movie is timeless, and priceless. This belongs in the collection of any true comedy fan. October 30, 2007

Fun x 3, the end of the OJ triology

It was a fun movie.
It is made more so by the infamous member of the supporting cast. August 7, 2007

Leslie Nielson in his finest movie series.....

I found all of the movies in the Naked Gun trilogy at wal-Mart for cheap and jumped on the chance to own them. definitely a guy flick and not too many women would be into this style of comedy. February 27, 2007

Stinkomatic!

This was my least favorite Naked Gun movie. These were funny when they were hot, the others are still funny. This one however I thought was corny and overdone. The expression "It jumped the shark" is usually used when a TV show goes overboard and gets corny and tired. This movie jumped the shark and was indeed the 'final insult' to what was a pretty funny series. There were a few laughs but nothing really earth shattering. Anna Nicole is just an awful actress and looks like a cartoon character. She's ditzy and artificial looking and totally unfunny. The thing with slapstick humor like this is; it's falling-down-funny the first time, can be funny even years later but if it gets over-played it's just like that great song that the radio stations played to death. It's just not the same anymore. I guess the writers thought there can never be too much of a good thing but they were wrong. It wasn't a good thing and it was far too much for me. However, I will always enjoy the other two Naked Gun movies and I really liked Airplane and other similar movies. This one just didn't do it for me! January 23, 2007

The Naked Gun 33 1/3 - The Final Insult

The Naked Gun 33 1/3 - The Final Insult~ Raye Birk is not nearly as good as the prior 2 movies. The script has its moments like the babies in the courtroom and the scene with the burning LA in the background. However, many of the jokes seem very familiar and are not as funny the third time around. Luckily they realized that the jokes were starting to run thin they did not make a fourth movie. An alright movie but nothing more.
