NipPierce Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!

Ploydsge just watch it!

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

MartinHafer "Police Squad" was one of the shortest lived television series in history...lasting a paltry six episodes. Looking at them now on the DVD collection, you wonder why. The jokes were hilarious and just what you'd find in the "Airplane!" and "Naked Gun" movies...which were made by the same folks who made the show. All that is obvious is that the network didn't have any faith in the program and just killed it. It's a shame...but other great shows have also failed...only to be discovered later (such as the movie spin-offs). So my advice is to go to Amazon.com or another site which offers the DVD and buy it. If you don't like it...you're probably dead.

OllieSuave-007 Though only six episodes, this is a very funny TV series starring Leslie Nielson as the bumbling Lt. Frank Drebin of Police Squad, out to rid the city of dangerous criminals - with his hilarious and unorthodox ways, of course.It's one funny spoof, gag and joke after another, with some suspenseful and exciting story lines to boot and convincing and spot-on acting that kept the characters serious. Some of the jokes made it to the movies as well, as you will instantly recognize the dialog and gags from the series.Fun stuff here that will keep you entertained from start to finish!Grade A

Alex Koriakin (alexkoriakin) If there was a nomination for the most unusual film about the cops, the undisputed winner would be a "Police squad"! Before you 6 series is surprisingly hilarious COP show, created by the same "crazy" team that made You laugh over the "Airplane!" and "the Naked gun", only it is necessary to stipulate at once, "the Naked Gun" was later "Police squad!", and many of the gags were borrowed. It was only filmed six episodes, and all of them have become iconic. After all, the series successfully mocked world of crime and police world of the 80s. Here you and kidnapper, and the wily Secretary, and more.But the main feature of the show is Leslie Nielsen. His naivety combined with the incredible idiocy and logic just go mad, and when blended with good acting this actor gives us the Lieutenant of police, a kind of super-agent. He is very absent-minded, or knocks, loves women and is ready to save the world.If we talk about the show, it is decorated with verbal puns and political jokes, and traditional "domestic crimes", which always OK. And the amount of humor is quite large, because of the 25 minutes allotted on humor for about 20 minutes — agree, not so bad!8 out of 10

The_Movie_Cat Watching Police Squad! again it's a staggering reminder that Leslie Neilson was once actually funny. After spending most of the 90s and the new millennium challenging Steve Martin for the title of "smug, unfunny grey-haired guy of the year" and appearing in dire spoofs with no real wit, this is a real eye opener.The Neilson that appears in these episodes isn't a self-conscious and self-amused comic actor repeating his own schtick for the payday, it's a genuinely inspired send up of stiff TV detectives. Note that when the franchise got resurrected for the lacklustre Naked Gun movies Drebin became stupider and Neilson more of a self-parody rather than a parody of cop show leads.As well as Neilson then there's also the superb co-stars, and great sight gags that never get old, like the difference in the episode titles from narration to on screen. However, while it's always been regarded as a major error on the part of the studio to cancel the show after four episodes, I wonder if this is actually the case? Watching the fifth and sixth, initially unscreened, episodes, then it's clear the well is running dry already. The final episode in particular is the weakest of the run, and the over-reliance on surrealism breaks up the narrative. Suddenly it's no longer a silly-yet-funny send up of Dragnet and M Squad and rather just a linked together series of extreme sight gags. Even the nature of the show itself means that the scope for the series is inherently limited. Still, funny while it lasted... particularly those first four.
