The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (PG-13, 1988)
common sense media says
Bawdy, dumb-humor classic spoofs '80s cop dramas.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
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.
Positive role models:
It's unlikely that you would want your kids to emulate anyone here.
Violence:
Three Stooges-style violence -- all comical. Characters are shot at, sometimes hit repeatedly without being injured.
Sex:
Bawdy jokes and innuendo, and one comical love scene with full-body condoms.
Language:
A few mild curse words ("hell"), but nothing to worry too much about.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Some cigarette smoking and brief drinking, but not to excess.

Really Funny Movie
This movie is hilarious. Most of the humor is just stupid and ridiculous which makes it very funny. There is some sexual innuendo such as a scene where Frank is on the side of a building and is falling off. He has to hold onto a statue of a naked man. He holds the penis of the statue as a grip to pull himself up. As he is pulling himself up, he is opening his mouth. Then a woman looks out of a window and sees him. She thinks he is trying to have oral sex with the statue. He pulls himself back up, but then the penis of the statue breaks off. He falls through the window while holding the penis. The woman thinks he is attacking her, and he is charged with assault with a concrete dildoe. It is actually a very funny scene. One of the funniest ones in the movie, but, if you don't want your children being exposed to this and other various scenes very similar to this, your kid should probably watch this movie. If you or your kid is 13 or older, then, if you like comedy, this is a great movie for you.

Hilarious!!!
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!!!

Complete with Austin Powers type comidy! Only it was made 10 or more years before! Brilliant! The "content" thing on the page about this movie says pretty much all of the stuff you'll have to worry about and I recromend this movie to people 12+. Hope my review helped you out!

i laughed for 30 seconds!
this movie made me laugh for at least a half minute! there is some violence, including a house fire, attempted assassinations, fist fights, marching over someone, and a big exploision. sex is somewhat common. in the beggining, the 2 cops drive by two domes, side by side. if you tilt your head the right way, they look like breasts. naked people are shown.
