Frank Drebin in the slapstick comedy the naked gun 2vi the smell of fear. Paramount pictures Chuck Vinch staff writer on mov Irethe naked gun 21/2bated pg-13_1 must see s Worth your time a passable entertainment a coming soon to a video outlet near you and you can wait Leslie Nielsen an unlikely slapstick Star spins More of his special Brand of Law enforcement magic Here As bumbling it. Frank Drebin Ace cop of police squad David Zucker is at the Helm As director a Veteran of the Short lived six episodes police squad to series in 1982 As Well As the hit films air plane and the first naked gun feature. The jokes Are a bit thinner but if you re a True Drebin fan it la All be Gravy. The heart of the police squad concept is dumb jokes goofy sight gags and double Cnoc Ndres. But in this one you also get a whimsical ecological message along with such things As Large dinner lobsters that Pinch women in tender places. The Story opens with Drebin at the White House about to be honoured by president Bush John Roark in a wickedly funny impersonation for nabbing his 1,000th drug dealer. Drebin admits he backed Over the last two with his car. A i was Lucky they turned out to be drug dealers a he says with his unique air of Deadpan dumb Confidence. Also on hand is Albert s. Weinheimer Richard Griffith the presidents new solar Power touting Energy adviser As Well As the evil leaders of the Coal nuclear and Oil industries. Afraid of what a Goody Goody Energy policy will do to their profits the Barons go to villainous businessman Quentin hapsburg Robert Goulet so oily he almost oozes off the screen to Kidnap the presidential adviser and slip a More pliable double into his place. Its up to Drebin to see that does no to happen. The whole gang is Back a George Kennedy As capt. De Hocken and . Simpson As Long suffering Nordberg who takes a trip from Washington to Detroit while stuck hanging under a bus. Priscilla Presley is also Back As the bounteous Jane whose complicated relationship with Drebin would tie Sigmund Freud in knots. One of their scenes is a hilarious Takeoff on the Demi Moore Patrick Swayze pottery love scene in ghost. But True fans will notice that this concept has lost some zing. Zucker Stoops to recycling at least three bits from the to series. One of them Drebin enters a sex shop looking for a thug and is greeted by a buxom Young woman. Upon discovering he a a cop she says a they is this some kind of bust Quot Drebin glances Down and says a yes its very of they re still funny but you can to help feeling a Little shortchanged. And drab in a continual bashing of a Barbara Bush look alike throughout the film while brilliantly perverse is overplayed. By the sixth time she gets whacked you can to help cringing a Little. Its still goofy fun if you re into this genre. And that a the key. If you come away from this movie unhappy its your own fault because everyone knows whether they like this kind of thing. If you done to stay Home and let the rest of us howl. The naked gun 2 / is another Gem in a Kooky tradition. It gets three stars. Another 48hrs. Rated r action Fudie Murphy Nick Nolle.
