"Wilma, I promise you; whatever scum did this, not one man on this force will rest one minute until he's behind bars. Now, let's grab a bite to eat."

By the late 1980s, the ZAZ trio (consisting of David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker) were officially the new gurus of the film spoof genre. Previously this crown was donned by Mel Brooks. After witnessing the ZAZ trio first flex... read more

Oh my, where do I start with this film. Okay, when I was first introduced to this film, I thought a "typical police spoof", which yeah...it was, but it was actually funny, and I laughed like hell throughout it, and that's all I ask in a comedy; to do what it promises. At the time, I hadn't seen Police Squad the television series, well, I wish I had. I wish I'd have found this entertaining film and... read more

I have never been a fan of spoof movies but since it is a huge classic, I thought I would definitely enjoy this one. Eventually, I thought the whole thing was pretty disappointing... Of course, there were here and there some funny jokes but I can't say I was laughing throughout the whole thing. Like another Listal users pointed out in her review, maybe back then these jokes were timely but 25 year... read more

Movie Reviews (part 6) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: It manage to be better than the TV show that it was based upon and has some great gags. Leslie Nielsen's best comedic role. Good supporting cast. The Downs: Boring resolution at a baseball match. "

" Naked Gun borrowed heavily from the lead of many of the films that preceded it, but most were ensemble affairs. Naked Gun, on the other hand, works because Nielsen is just so good. "

"O.J. Simpson's cameo steals the show, but Leslie Nielson's buffoon detective carries the Airplane continuation to new comedic heights."

"14.2, TV, Rewatch ***½ -- *** Ihan viihdyttävää ajankulua edelleenkin, vaikka nähty sen miljoona kertaa. Suurin osa vitseistä on jo häivettyneitä ja ennen kunnolla naurattaneet jutut saavat lähinnä vain hymyn huulille, tosin tällä kertaa se riitti pelastamaan illan."

"13.02. TV, ?th viewing DIRECTED BY David Zucker I think I've seen this too many times because it's starting to get a little tiring for me. Of course it's still got its share of brilliant, ageless moments like the bribing scene at the pier, "bingo!", the shooting of Nordberg in the beginning and the fantastic film noir parodying metaphors Frank Drebin makes. But yeah, all of the baseball sequence, for example, is pretty unexciting to me by now. "

At the time, I hadn't seen Police Squad the television series, well, I wish I had. I wish I'd have found this entertaining film and the series years before, but I guess all in good time, it seems.

Leslie Nielson plays the hilarious, danger-prone Lieutenant Frank Drebin, he does a spectacular job at doing so. He is indeed the best character, which is exactly the reason he is the main one. After watching this, I knew Nielson was indeed another king of comedy, some may say he is the king of spoofs, but as I really am n” read more
