The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) was a decent sequel to the laugh out loud The Naked Gun. Lt. Frank Drebin returns as he relocates to Washington D.C. Whilst investigating a routine murder case, he meets his ex-girlfriend (Priscella Pressley). He still has a crush on her and wants to re-kindle their old romance. But this time she's seeing a new man (whom she also works with) Quentin Hapsburg (Robert Goulet). The two men have an instant dislike for each other. Can Lt. Frank Drebin once again save the day? You'll have to find out when you watch THE NAKED GUN 2 1/2: THE SMELL OF FEAR!! Also returning are George Kennedy and O.J. Simpson.

Not a laugh out loud classic like the first film. But it's a funny movie none the less. This was the first project that Z.A.Z. has contributed in the past but with only one person at the helm. The screenplay was co-written with Pat Proft instead of his usual collaborates. I have to slightly recommend this movie. Not as great as the first film but it's way better than the useless sequel that was soon to follow.

Recommended.
