The Final Entry

Naked Gun 33 1/3: the Final Insult (1994)

Changes behind the scenes mean that Peter Segal comes into direct this second sequel which was the last film for O.J. Simpson before his legal problems. Frank is now retired but goes undercover as one last favour for his former colleagues.

This is certainly the weakest film in the series and you can tell the material is wearing a little thin when a lot of the gags are just parodies of other recent films, not even anything connected to the series. Of course a number of the good elements from the previous films remain but the flaws they had are much more clearly highlighted here due to the weaker script and lack of plot. There is still some fun to be had here but it misses the heights of the previous two films.

3/5
