Only the first film was available, but Netflix has surprisingly released the complete saga of this delirious comedy.

The video-on-demand (VOD) platform Netflix has surprised its users with the surprise release of the complete trilogy of one of the most hilarious comedy sagas of all time, of which it only had the first title in its catalog until now. The unexpected arrival of its two sequels coincides with the promotion of the saga's reboot , which will hit theaters in Spain on August 22.

Until just a few days ago, Netflix's catalog only included The Naked Gun , the comedy starring Leslie Nielsen as the ineffable Lieutenant Frank Drebin. Without warning, the platform added The Naked Gun 2.5: The Scent of Fear and The Naked Gun 33.5: The Final Insult last Friday, thus completing the original trilogy directed by David Zucker and based on the series Police Squad! .

This is a notable addition to the lineup of comedy films available on Netflix in 2025, ideal for fans of classic parody films. The sequel, released in 1991, took political and energetic satire to the extreme with a script filled with visual gags , verbal misunderstandings, and unlikely cameos.

The plot revolves around a plot to sabotage a renewable energy policy, all while Drebin tries to win back the love of Jane, played by Priscilla Presley . Despite mixed reviews, The Scent of Fear was the most successful film at the box office , grossing $192 million worldwide, cementing its cult status within the genre.

A reboot , three decades later

Three years later came The Final Insult , a story centered on a terrorist attack at the Oscars and a retired Drebin forced to infiltrate a prison to thwart the attack. The film, directed by Peter Segal, included new cast members such as Fred Ward and Anna Nicole Smith, while retaining the saga's signature cartoonish tone.

Although it was the lowest-grossing film, it still reached number one at the US box office upon its release, and has been praised for its parody of action films and its frenetic musical-style ending.

The Naked Gun trilogy is a perfect draw for slapstick nostalgics and new viewers looking for lighthearted, timeless comedies. Its arrival in the streaming platform's catalog will be a prelude to the theatrical release of the eponymous reboot starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson , which will hit the big screen this August.
