Naked Gun 1, 21/2 and 331/3 [* * * * *]

I've watched the whole series over the last few weeks - I love parody. The rapidfire jokes and the speed of action has probably never been repeated since.

Some of the imitations (George Bush, Thatcher, Gadafi, etc) are amazing. These are must-sees. David Zucker and his brother take political satire to new levels.

The sexual innuendo doesn't look as bad today as it did back in the 80s. I could even call it tame, compared to some of the movies I've seen since. That surprised me, since I didn't think I'd changed so much. I guess the world has changed around me and I have adapted to bawdiness more than I believed possible.
