Movies like The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear

Filled with a similar brand of satire and deadpan delivery, Airplane! sees Leslie Nielsen again in a disaster movie parody that helped define the zany comedy genre. Audiences who enjoyed The Naked Gun 2½ will likely appreciate the non-stop jokes and visual gags that make Airplane! a comedy classic.

As the precursor to The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear, this film offers a hilarious peek into the inept yet somehow effective policing of Lt. Frank Drebin. Fans of the sequel will appreciate the original's blend of slapstick humor and outrageous gags with Leslie Nielsen's impeccable comedic timing.

Police Academy leans more into the realms of slapstick and character comedy than outright parody, but it shares The Naked Gun's comedic take on law enforcement. The movie's ensemble cast and ridiculous scenarios offer a light-hearted and amusing experience.

An earlier film by the Zucker brothers and Jim Abrahams, Top Secret! mixes spy movies with World War II drama parodies. It features a similar sense of humor with visual gags and puns that resonate with the comedic style found in The Naked Gun 2½.

Hot Shots! serves as a spirited spoof of military action movies, much like how The Naked Gun series lampoons crime dramas. With Charlie Sheen leading a cast that delivers humor in rapid-fire succession, it's an ideal watch for fans of relentless parodies.

Continuing the antics of its predecessor, Hot Shots! Part Deux cranks up the absurdity with more spoofs of action and war films. Admirers of The Naked Gun's sharp and silly comedy will find similar enjoyment in the over-the-top sequences and puns.
