Anyone else think Naked Gun 2 1/2 is secretly a masterpiece?
Ok, so I was rewatching Naked Gun 2 1/2 (The Smell of Fear) last night, and I gotta say, it still holds up! Like, I know it's pure slapstick and the jokes are SO dumb, but that's kinda why I love it? Leslie Nielsen is a LEGEND as Frank Drebin. Every time he's on screen I just lose it. Remember the scene where he's trying to seduce Jane Spencer (Priscilla Presley) but keeps accidentally causing chaos? Classic! My parents showed me these movies when I was little, and I think it cemented my love for silly humor. But seriously, does anyone else think it's kinda brilliant how they managed to make a movie about energy policy so freakin' funny? The whole concept of Quentin Hapsburg trying to suppress alternative energy sources is actually kinda relevant today, which is weird! And the visual gags are just non-stop. I'm not saying it's gonna win any Oscars for deep social commentary, obvi, but it's just... perfect for when you need to switch off your brain and laugh. Okay, so here's my question for you all: What's your FAVORITE gag from Naked Gun 2 1/2? For me, it's a tough call, but I think it might be the exploding whale at the environmental protest? Or maybe the condom full of... stuff... that Drebin accidentally grabs? So many good options! Let me know what makes you LOL!
