User Review
"Insult" me!
Rating: 10/10
It's rare for a cop movie to combine elements from "The Untouchables",
"Thelma & Louise" and "The Brady Bunch".
Unless, of course, the lead character has a tendency to run his car into
parking meters.
"The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult" brings the lofty trilogy to a close
with the same old cast (Kennedy, Simpson, Presley) and slapstick antics
involving a prison breakout, terrorist plot and the Oscars. And there in
the center is Lt. Frank Drebin (Nielsen) on the verge of retirement and
fighting with bad guys, shopping carts and Weird Al Yankovic while trying
convince lovely wife Jane (Presley) that the spark in their relationship is
still there.
How can you talk down a movie like this; it's as useless as putting up a
tent in a windstorm, so they say. You have to enjoy stupidity, one-liners,
gags and visual puns, as created by the ZAZ boys (Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker)
and delivered by a cast of pros (including Fred Ward and Pia Zadora!!), all
with the tone of adolescence and insanity you've come to know and
love.
And if you don't, why are you reading this?
Kudos go to Anna Nicole Smith, who makes her debut in movies here in a big
way (sorry) and shows she is at her best when laughing at herself. Good
job, Anna.
Favorite scene? I lost count after the first 10 minutes; it's an exercise
in futility, every scene will make you chuckle, laugh, guffaw, roar and/or
howl with delight. Besides, why spoil the fun?
And as for Nielsen...as always, he is THE MAN! Even when throwing up in a
tuba.
Ten stars for a great "Final" trip down into Dumbville. And one star more
for the very last scene - classic!
