What to Know

Critics Consensus

Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult can't help but be sporadically funny thanks to Leslie Nielsen's dependably solid work, but it's still a steep comedown from the original.

Michael Medved New York Post ...these projects aren't so much movies as they are fast-moving collections of gags, so the only significant question is whether the gags work and the answer here is a qualified yes. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Rob Salem Toronto Star ...for good or ill, Frank Drebin is back on track - or rather, off track - ridiculous pratfalls, elaborate stunts, atrocious puns and ludicrous one-liners intact. Rated: 4/5 Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Desmond Ryan Philadelphia Inquirer If The Naked Gun and The Naked Gun 2 1/2 had an endearing off-the-wall wackiness, The Naked Gun 33 1/3 has the feel of a movie with too many jokes off the cutting-room floor. Rated: 2/4 Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins It’s rather repetitious and drawn-out here, failing to invent fresh routines or expand upon the Police Squad universe. Rated: 3/10 Aug 23, 2025 Full Review Mike Pearson Denver Rocky Mountain News "The Final Insult" will have you smiling in spite of yourself. Aug 21, 2025 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine "The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult" is, unfortunately, the most disappointing instalment in the trilogy. However, that doesn't mean the film lacks some hilarious moments or interesting performances. [Full review in Spanish]. Rated: 3/5 Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Amirtaha N Maaaaaaaaybe the funniest naked gun movie so it has that, but it gets a little too big for its own sake with the whole prison and Oscar bits Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Max W With this installment, the Naked Gun series finally steps out of the shadow of its TV origins. The distinct set pieces and the balance of fresh and recurring gags serve the narrative more effectively, making it the most accomplished entry in the original trilogy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/26/25 Full Review Mike V Mostly all new jokes. Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult is a 1994 American crime comedy film directed by Peter Segal (in his directorial debut) 🔫 It’s not always perfect, but it’s still a lot of fun! It’s good 🙂 Worth a watch. I’d recommend it if you like this genre 👍🏼 Frank Drebin is persuaded out of retirement to go undercover in a state prison. There he has to find out what top terrorist, Rocco, has planned for when he escapes. Adding to his problems, Frank's wife, Jane, is desperate for a baby. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/25 Full Review Sam W It has bigger (more expensive looking) gags and lots more celebrity cameos but it also feels the most dated with lots of pop culture references and parodies of the era. It’s still funny with plenty of jokes, one-liners and slapstick action scenes, but no real laugh out loud moments. The main cast were as good as ever and the plot was good with steady pacing and gags throughout. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Audience Member Not the best of the trilogy but still funny Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/25 Full Review Oz S The Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult is a solid and entertaining conclusion to the series, offering a good mix of absurd parody, slapstick, and over-the-top set pieces. While it’s not laugh-out-loud hilarious from start to finish, it feels like it has more genuinely funny moments than the first film, with some scenes that stand out as truly memorable. Leslie Nielsen once again delivers as Frank Drebin, bringing his perfect deadpan style to the wild and ridiculous situations the film throws at him. The pacing is brisk, and the humor is a blend of clever visual gags, silly dialogue, and outrageous setups that keep the story moving. Though some jokes miss the mark and it doesn’t quite match the comedic sharpness of The Naked Gun 2½, it remains enjoyable and worth watching, especially for fans of the series. Overall, it’s a fun, memorable parody that keeps the spirit of the franchise alive. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review Read all reviews
