Summary: In THE NAKED GUN, Lt Frank Drebin, a granite-jawed, rock-brained cop, uncovers a diabolical plot to murder the Queen of England using mind control. THE NAKED GUN 2 1/2 sees disaster-prone Frank back in Washington to receive an honour for shooting his 1000th drug dealer. When a conspiracy to influence the U.S. Government's new energy policy comes to light, our intrepid hero sets out to bring the perpetrators to justice. In THE NAKED GUN 33 1/3, Frank is coaxed out of retirement to counter a terrorist threat. And in true Drebin fashion, he manages to bungle his way through the investigation, and winds up causing havoc at a glitzy Academy Awards ceremony.

Considering the TV series Police Squadmanaged a mere six episodes, it's no small testament to its qualities that it proved the inspiration for a trio of cinematic hits. And this bringing together of all three Naked Gunfilms delivers, as the original series did, a belly-load of laughs.

Each is a spoof, very much in the spirit of the original Airplane(unsurprising, as the same people are involved), with the focus this time being on Leslie Nielsen's Lt Frank Drebin, a well-meaning yet chaotic detective who, along with George Kennedy's Capt Ed Hocken, O.J.Simpson's Nordberg and Priscilla Presley's Jane finds himself with crimes to solve, and nothing but sheer ineptitude to help him.

The plot in each movie clearly takes a back seat, as each film is an exercise in throwing as many gags at the wall and hoping they stick. The hit rate in the first of the three is high enough to genuinely warrant it being a modern day comedy classic, with clever sight gags and more elaborate sequences keeping the chuckle count high and constant. Neither sequel gets close to it, but both do have their moments too. Crucially, as none of the films outstays its welcome, thanks to their relatively brief running times, each emerges as an enjoyable, joyfully silly and frequently funny comedy, set to be enjoyed time and time again.--Simon Brew
