➱ STORYLINE:

In "The Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult" (1994), Frank Drebin returns to action to prevent a catastrophic bombing at the Academy Awards. Married life has not quelled Drebin's knack for finding himself in absurdly dangerous—and equally hilarious—situations. His mission leads him into a variety of comedic escapades, including going undercover in a prison and navigating the glitzy, and often ridiculous, world of Hollywood. The film cleverly mocks numerous film genres and pop culture phenomena, making no celebrity or film sacred.

➱ STAFF REVIEW:

Peter Segal's entry into "The Naked Gun" franchise maintains the series' reputation for relentless comedy and clever satire. Leslie Nielsen's performance as Drebin is as comedic and endearing as ever, proving that his character remains one of the most iconic figures in comedy. While "The Naked Gun 33⅓" may not innovate beyond the formula established by its predecessors, it delivers a fitting conclusion to the series, packed with laughs, memorable one-liners, and a parade of cameo appearances. The film's humor, which spares no one from its playful ridicule, ensures it remains a fondly remembered part of the franchise.
