Continuity mistake: At the conference, when the President is announced, there is a wide shot of the crowd and you see a lot of people standing in the background against the wall. There are also several spotlights turned on. Then it cuts to the stage where Frank and the squad are walking. When it cuts back to the crowd all the people in the background are gone and the spotlights are switched off. The crowd reappears later and the spotlights are on again. (01:00:50)

9.7/10. This is the first trilogy where I find all three movies equally good. Leslie Nielsen was one of the greatest comedic actors of all time. He takes every scene the way a painter or composer does, slowly making his masterpiece. I would say the Naked Gun franchise is one of the best and one of the most underrated ones of all time. If Siskel and Ebert liked them you know they did something right with these movies. Leslie Nielsen, a comedic legend, also inspired Angie Tribecca, is still missed.

Trivia: Parody singer Weird Al Yankovic had cameo appearances in all three of "The Naked Gun" movies, but in this one he was in an 'unrecognizable' role; namely as the thug who holds the Police Squad at gunpoint until Frank opens the door, inadvertently knocking him out.
Question: In the first film, Frank took on all the world leaders and proved himself to be a skilled fighter. So why is his fight scene in this film with Hector Savage so awkward and shows Frank as being a clueless fighter?
Answer: Rule of funny.
Answer: Just because he beat up a group of people doesn't mean he can beat anybody. Hector may have been stronger whereas the leaders may have been a bit weaker than him.
Chosen answer: It was also stated in the movie that Savage was a professional fighter. Therefore Frank would be no match for him.
