Naked Gun Review: A Hilarious, Absurd Classic That Defied Convention When it comes to modern comedy, few films deliver the pure, unapologetic riotous laughter like Naked Gun: The Naked Gun 2½ — also known simply as Naked Gun. Released in 1991 and directed by Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly, this effective blend of over-the-top slapstick, political satire, and absurd anarchy carved out a unique place in cult film history. Known for its raunchy humor, improvised charm, and slapdash production style, Naked Gun isn’t just a comedy — it’s a riot in cinematic form. ### The Unmistakable Style of Naked Gun At its core, Naked Gun is a parody of buddy cop action films, with Stanley and Gandhi (played by Leslie Nielsen and Martin Short respectively) leading a double act that mockingly emulates classic genre tropes. The film’s humor is grounded in exaggerated physical comedy, quick-witted one-liners, and breaking the fourth wall, all presented within a meta-satirical framework critiquing — or rather, completely ignoring — serious action movie conventions.
