This is the first sequel of the 1988 comedy farce with the same cast. In "Naked Gun 2½," sergeant detective lieutenant Frank Drebin must foil a plot to set back energy conservation efforts by the federal government. The oil and gas industries are behind the plot that has kidnapped the chief advisor to the president, and put a look-alike person in his place.
The original film company all return. Leslie Nielsen is Drebin and George Kennedy is his police captain, Ed Hocken. O.J. Simpson returns as Nordberg and Priscilla Presley is Jane, Drebin's former fiancé. Robert Goulet plays the villain, Quentin Hapsburg.
The mishaps, pratfalls, hijinks and antics continue in this sequel. But, as with most sequels to movies, the plot isn't as good as that of the original film. And, the writers used their best material in the original, and can't quite come up with humor to match it. Also, this one takes on a little more crassness.
Still, mature adults may find enough humor to enjoy this second in the three-film series.
