So, after watching the first Naked Gun film out of dedication to the late O.J. Simpson who I imagine is already in hell right now and Lucifer is torturing the man with the exact scenes from both Naked Gun films. I decided for Father's Day again me and my dad sat down and watched The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear, although we watched another movie before this movie but will get into that movie don't you all worry about that. And really there's not a whole much to say about Naked Gun 2 other than yes, this film is awesome and amazing at the same time and really when you are watching these kinds of films, you should watch it with another person just in case the jokes don't refresh your memory and you can chuckle at the jokes along with your own Dad.
Lt. Frank Drebin (Leslie Neilsen) returns for more madcap high jinks in his police-procedural spoof. Powerful energy corporations are intent on putting a halt to the eco-friendly plans of Dr. Albert S. Meinheimer (Richard Griffiths), the new U.S. energy czar. They scheme to replace Meinheimer with an impostor who will do their bidding. Unfortunately for them, Drebin gets tangled up with their plans while trying to steal back his ex (Priscilla Presley) from her slimy new beau (Robert Goulet).
Watching the second Naked Gun film was no doubt a breath of fresh air, and to really think about what really makes a good or great and most importantly sequels to comic spoofs is that you need to keep the jokes new and fresh, and most importantly you can't recycle the jokes that you previously did in the first film. And with Naked Gun 2 you up the game by going to a different city, moreover when you have the first George Bush and pollution that was most certainly going on in the early 90's well, that right their son you got yourself a good way to start off the second adventure with Leslie Neilsen. It really isn't just Leslie Neilsen that's the best part of the movie it's really the entire cast that does tremendous job in keeping a straight face like it's one of the greatest things to master especially being a comedic actor is the ability to keep a straight face for many reasons I look at all of the actors in the movie and I'm just curious in how they can keep a straight face? Though granted they probably did a tone of takes maybe four or five but really, some of the most ridiculous things that happen in the movie, it's just great moreover master class of comedic actors to be able to pull off a straight face in a movie like this. Movies like this are without a doubt a perfect example of how you create a movie spoof the naked gun films together and Mel Brooks films all together are great example of being able to make a great movie spoof that everyone can watch and quote the same line over and over again that even Scary Movies or any other spoof films that came out in the early 2000's and 2010's were they all were nothing but embarrassments to the human eye. So, really if you’re wanting to be a comedic writer, director or actor, movies like Naked Gun films are a great example to watch of how you can develop yourself if you ever want to create a movie spoof, though deep down you most certainly need to create your own comedic talent and that's the difficult thing to master. Having watched both Naked Gun films, from 88 and 91, I will admit and say that these films are defiantly a breath of fresh air, and I am looking forward to watching the third film with my dad. So, in closing in a world filled with overly sensitive people who don't know what a sense of humor is it's always great to sit down and watch films like this especially when it comes to watching with your father.
