What You Need To Know:

NAKED GUN 2 1/2: THE SMELL OF FEAR begins with Lieutenant Frank Drebin being honored at a White House dinner for shooting his 1000th drug dealer. President Bush announces that Dr. Albert Meinheimer will develop an energy policy for the United States. The heads of the oil, coal and nuclear industries conspire to thwart the scientist. They kidnap the scientist and replace him with a double. The twin will give a speech denouncing energy efficiency and singing the praises of oil, coal and nuclear power. Drebin's mission is to foil this heinous plan. As a subplot, Drebin rekindles his love interest with Jane Spencer. Unfortunately, Frank and Jane reenact GHOST's clay-on-the-pottery wheel-leads-to-lovemaking scene.

NAKED GUN 2 1/2: SMELL OF FEAR reeks more of toilet humor than fear. Repeatedly, the film potshots Drebin and others fumbling till they end up with their faces in other people's crotches. In any case, NAKED GUN 2 1/2: SMELL OF FEAR is very disappointing. With so much publicity hype appearing on TV and in newspapers, audiences will come to the theater with high expectations, only to find a frivolous plot kept afloat in a slapstick sewer.

Content:

(L, V, S, N, Ab) 5 obscenities & 3 profanities; slapstick groin and buttocks-oriented violence; fornication & repeated sexual puns; naked male buttocks, nude shower silhouettes, suggestive materials in "sex shop," book cover with multi-breasted female caricature, & cleavage; and a miraculous healing by God is mocked.

More Detail:

Lieutenant Frank Drebin uncovers a sleazy, underhanded attempt to influence America’s energy policy while romancing lost-love Jane Spencer in NAKED GUN 2 1/2: THE SMELL OF FEAR.

The story begins with Drebin being honored at a White House dinner for shooting his 1000th drug dealer. Ever the clumsy fool, Drebin exchanges his lobster plate for the table’s king-sized centerpiece, and noisily cracks his shellfish open while the president speaks.

Drebin squeezes lemon on his lobster, which slips out of his hand and smacks into Winnie Mandala’s elaborate turban. Other gags arise such as flooring Barbara Bush with a swing of his arm as Drebin awkwardly tries to disperse his meal.

Even so, President Bush announces that a world-famous scientist, Dr. Albert Meinheimer, will develop an energy policy for the United States. Consequently, the heads of North American oil, coal and nuclear industries conspire to thwart the portly, wheelchair-bound scientist. Suspecting that Dr. Meinheimer’s proposal will curtail their industrial efforts, the leaders kidnap the scientist and replace him with a double.

The twin will take Dr. Meinheimer’s place at the National Press Club dinner and give a speech denouncing energy efficiency and singing the praises of oil, coal and nuclear power. Drebin’s mission is to foil this heinous plan.

As a subplot, Drebin rekindles his love interest with Jane Spencer. They meet up at the “Blue Note Cafe,” a depressing place that features pictures of sinking ships, airplane crashes, natural disasters, and a mural of Michael Dukakis. Unfortunately, their encounter leads to a parody on sexuality as Frank and Jane reenact GHOST’s clay-on-the-pottery wheel-leads-to-lovemaking scene.
