Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Lieutenant Frank Drebin discovers that his ex-girlfriend's new beau is involved in a plot to kidnap a scientist who advocates solar energy. If you loved the original 'The Naked Gun' movie you're gonna love the 2nd one as well. There's lots of insane laughs but also loved how they promoted the sequel with Nielsen dressed as a Terminator T-800 from T2 saying 'Hasta La Vista Baby'. There's some great and insane full of laughs moments like Nielsen running away from dogs but also trying to save the professor and accidentally basically beating him to a pulp by accident with various different objects. Definitely a movie that is just as good if not better than the first depending the viewer.

When a comedy frequently makes you laugh so much that you cry, it kind of transcends the typical critical analysis, and that's the case for me and "Naked Gun 2 & 1/2". All I can say is that this crazy, wild spoof has a higher hits-over-misses ratio than most of the other films in this genre that I've seen so far. The gags are well-thought-out - notice, for example, the one where George Bush (yes, George Bush) is talking about oil energy and budget cuts while the action we are seeing parallels his words. But besides all that, the film actually has a plot (!), and a remarkably topical and progressive political edge! They truly don't make them like this anymore. *** out of 4.

Lieutenant Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) discovers that his ex-girlfriend's new beau is involved in a plot to kidnap a scientist who advocates solar energy.It's not very often a sequel is better than the original. This may be one of those rare occasions, though. The first was good, but never seemed to fully reach its full potential. Here, we have a complete film, maybe the strongest of the trilogy. A good villain, some nice cameos, and a terrible George Bush impersonation. (Barbara Bush is much more realistic.) The humor is grand, and you have to respect the casting of Robert Goulet. I mean, gee, he is suave, smooth, and really could be a great hero or likable villain. Sadly, he is no longer with us.

A better sequel than most, as it makes fun of several old movies. Great impressions of George Bush Sr., Mandela and Winnie, etc. The opening "White House Reception" is hilarious, as Drebin knocks out Barbara Bush, and his lobster's claw "attacks" the police commissioner at the dinner table. Bob Goulet makes a great villain as the evil head of "Kaboom"! Prof. Meinheimer almost puts everyone to sleep as he explains his anti-nuclear energy policy to a "distinguished" audience. The best of all is the send-up of Zucker's own production of "Ghost", as Drebin and his girlfriend Jane (Priscilla Presley) spoof the pottery wheel love-making scene, complete with the obligatory Righteous Bros. songs and Drebin's huge, fake barrel chest! Every sexual cliché in the book is used here: trains going thru tunnels, rockets going off, gushing fire hydrants, "pointed obelisk" monuments raising up (a 1953 "Ten Commandments" clip!). Drebin wrecks The city zoo with the police assault tank, and all the animals escape. Several mentions of bodily functions, a few "t&a" shots (mostly rear ends), most of which are cut out of the "broadcast" version. Other goodies: Zsa Zsa Gabor's famous police-cussing scene. Nordburg gets thrown under a bus (on it's way to Detroit!) The shower scene (not exactly as Hitchcock did it.) The "It's a Cookbook" reference to the old Twilight Zone "To Serve Man" episode. The "Goldfinger time-bomb" gimmick. A relatively weak ending, as Drebin pushes Mrs. Bush off the balcony and she "moons" everybody. Far better than the third movie, however.
