    Well.....

    I finnaly did get a chance to sit down and watch it!!

    I really enjoyed it, I loved the way they payed hommage to the original actors, especially OJ Simpson.

    The only thing I didn't like, was realizing that the P.L.O.T device, was basically rehashing the scenario from The Kingsman. Other than that I would definately recommend the film.

    I just saw it. It wasn't bad! I had some good laughs :D

    Some of those scenes were a riot.

    Especially after the P.L.O.T device was activated!

    Not sure if I should be embarrased or not.

    Reading about The Naked Gun online, it was the writers intent to parody The Kingsman. Which I was not aware of sitting down to watch the film.

    I guess I should actually watch the first 3 installments of the francise to see if I can pick up whether those films directly parodied a specific film. I do not remember getting that feeling when watching any of the originals. Though the Zucker brothers were always a lot more subtle with their parodying. IE Airplane being a parody of the Canadian made for TV movie Zero Hour.

    I also did not remember Weird Al making an appearence in the other films, which makes his cameo in this installment all the more hillarious!

    Never saw it, so didn't matter to me. :-)

    Ever watch Angie Trebecca? One episode was a missing painting:
    McGuffin's Thumb.
