Police Squad Lt. Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) is retired and spending time with his new wife, Jane (Priscilla Presley), when he's called back into action by Capt. Ed Hocken (George Kennedy). A terrorist named Rocco (Fred Ward) plans to bomb the Academy Awards ceremony, so Frank goes undercover as Phil Donahue to try and head off disaster. He causes almost as much trouble as he prevents in an Oscar show complete with over-the-top production numbers and numerous celebrity appearances.

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

...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

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

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

"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].

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

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.

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

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
