The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear

The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991) is a slapstick comedy from director David Zucker you can watch online on iFILM. Leslie Nielsen returns as Lieutenant Frank Drebin — deadpan as ever, catastrophe trailing behind him like a faithful dog.

This time the enemy is the energy lobby: a group of executives planning to bury a government report that would cost them billions. Drebin barely registers the stakes. He is too busy reuniting with his ex-girlfriend (Priscilla Presley), managing a kidnapped scientist, and causing structural damage to whatever room he enters. George Kennedy and O.J. Simpson round out the police squad, mostly standing clear of the wreckage.

Zucker co-wrote the script with Pat Proft — the same duo behind the original Naked Gun and the Police Squad! TV series that started it all. The film earned $86 million worldwide on a $28 million budget. Stream The Naked Gun 2½ (1991) online on iFILM.
