What Parents Need to Know
About The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!
Parents need to know that this film is a series of pratfalls, sight gags, and bawdy jokes, all of which should delight teen boys (and their fathers). The movie's violence -- Nordburg gets shot at repeatedly, and Frank's safety is constantly in question -- is so over the top that you can't take it seriously. Characters talk about having safe sex (and are later seen wearing full-body condoms). When trying to get off a ledge, Frank first grabs a woman's breasts and then pulls the stone carving of a penis off a statue. For older teens, the language and jokes are nothing new and shouldn't be disturbing.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why this brand of "dumb humor" is appealing. Why do they enjoy it? Families can also talk about how the film is a spoof on current events of the 1980s. Is the insight still relevant today? Are the jokes still funny?

Lives inI rate this title iffy for age 2 and give itHilarious!!!
This Film Is So Funny!!! The Jokes Are Quite Rude And Some Are NOT Suitable For Younger Viewers, But Still A Great Film. The Naked Gun Is About Lt. Frank Drebin, A Cop Who Always Gets His Man. A Simple Story But Obviously If This Made By David Zucker (Creator Of Airplane!) This Is Not Gonna A Be Serious Film. Is It? No It's Not It's Gonna Be So Hilarious You Won't Stop Laughing, And I Mean That. Every Second Of This Film Is So Funny, You Just Wont Stop Laughing Until Credits End. 5/5 Great Comedy, The Best Naked Gun Out Of The Whole Trilogy. Greatest Comedy Since Airplane!!!
