The Naked Gun series is one of my favorite comedy series out there. I hate the stuffy shit like all those boring Woody Allen movies. I’ll take a Leslie Nielsen movie over that shit. And, F' Woody Allen for good measure.
Anyway, one of the staples of the series is the crazy opening credit
In the first one, you can see the shadow of the camera rig as it enters the house. The locker room and the donuts shop are funny bits. You can even hear the bell on the tire wire when it enters the scene.
The second one has a different version of the theme song, which is in a lower key than the first. I love the bumper car bit. The extras are having a lot of fun with it. This compilation cuts out the funniest bit from the second movie. It is the Zsa Zsa Gabor cameo. She gets pulled over by the Naked Gun credits. I’ve never seen the actual opening credits pull someone over before. Zsa Zsa got pulled over by some cops, and she slapped them in real life. I love that she was willing to spoof herself in this movie, meaning she was in on the joke. You don't get that with today’s celebrities.
For the third one, the SW and Jurassic Park references are cool. The Star Wars one was an official one, but I don't think the JP one was. Lucas permitted them to use the actual footage. He’s credited in the credits.
