Franklin "Frank" Drebin, the fictional quirky cop from the Police Squad! television series and The Naked Gun movies played by Leslie Nielsen is a true classic creration...up there with Peter Seller's Cluseau....and what a hoot it is to have a fourth movie to enjoy the hellzapoppin antics.

The technicals are all good, and sure, the narrative is a smorgasbord, but that just adds to the intended mayhem...which you just have to sink yourself into and move allong with the river of jokes, puns, visual gags and so much more...

No nitpiks from moi...just shear unadulterated craziness all round...

We need to laugh more, and I prescribe this required medication to be taken thrice daily before meals (to prevent projectile ejection of food)...

SUPER!

As others have said, this is a really, really enjoyable composition. To really enjoy this, it helps to have a sincere appreciation for the source material. There are a number of things about the original that are working against a successful composition here (as the editor noted, repetitive use of some schticks across episodes, tricky pacing, credit overlays), but DonkeyKonga has somehow used that in advantageous ways.

There are a couple of rough spots that result from sticking to the vision (e.g., an abrupt edit away from one of the "let's say..." lines) but, to my delight, it all works and really preserves the best parts of the series without being fatiguing or feeling choppy.

Nicely done!

Its been a while since I've watched a really good comedy movie for the first time and this edit was beautiful.
I watched the edit with my entire family who usually dislike newer movies (action scenes too fast and jokes are not that funny) but they really liked this one comedy was good and movie was at normal pace. I must really thank you DonkeyKonga for this amazing edit and I'll watch your other edits as well.

This is an easy recommendation for any Leslie Neilson fan but it's also important to remember going into this that none of this was originally intended to be a movie when shot. The movie's narrative suffers a little bit because of this and feels fairly episodic. But once you accept the movie for what it is it's a great time overall. It's hilarious joke after hilarious joke here. The movie had my wife and I laughing throughout.

I'll also say that the video quality wasn't always consistent and ranged from pretty good to excellent. I noticed some scenes where the colours were off, I also noticed other scenes where I was blown away by how good the image was.

At the end of the day though, all of my nitpicks really are just nitpicks. DonkeyKonga did an amazing job with the edit and it'll be my go to way of rewatching Police Squad in the future.

Loved the original police academy and naked gun movies, so this was a treat to watch. There were a ton of hilarious gags used, especially the famous "Cover me!" bit, but I never felt especially compelled to watch the series.

This edit was the perfect way to still enjoy the iconic jokes.

The only complaint I have is at around 1:10:35, theres a cut where Leslie comes up with bruises/paint on him, before cutting back to normal. But this could just be me missing the joke from that scene too lol.
