The Naked Gun (1988)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 85m
Director: David Zucker
Cast: Leslie Nielsen, Priscilla Presley, Ricardo Montalban

Synopsis:

Los Angeles lieutenant Frank Drebin foils an assassination attempt on Queen Elizabeth.

Review:

What ought to have been a dying gasp for the Airplane sub-genre of irreverent parody and absurdist verbal and visual gags, turned into a franchise-heralding masterpiece of economy and Hellzapoppin inspiration. Nielsen's career finally took off after years of playing the kinds of straight guy homaged here, and the carefree, unself-conscious attitude to its own scattergun approach saves it from Police Academy ineptitude.
