Leslie Nielsen is back as Lt. Frank Drebin and so are writer/producer/directors Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker. This sequel didn't seem as funny as the first, but it's hard not to find Nielsen's deadly serious though thoroughly incompetent police detective hilarious. Peter Sellars did the same thing with Inspector Clouseau, but riffing on jewel heist films instead of Dragnet police procedurals. The plot, not that it really matters, revolves around Drebin's ex-girlfriend Priscilla Presley's new boyfriend Robert Goulet's plot to kidnap a scientist as part of an energy scheme. Nothing brilliant, but you'll chuckle.

The second installment of The naked Trilogy is an excellent sequel, I love what David Zucker with the sequel did. This was actually the first film in the trilogy that I have saw as a kid, but when I was a kid it was my favorite film. I have never saw the first or the third film before, but that was when I was a kid. I love the first Naked Gun to death is one of my favorite films in the trilogy, I like this film a lot and is honestly my third favorite film, I like watching it over and over. I like the gags, the jokes, the slapstick humor and a little action in the film.The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear is the 1991 sequel to The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! and is the second installment in the trilogy. The late Leslie Nielsen returns as the clueless Lt. Frank Drebin. The film would be followed by 1994's The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult.R.I.P. Leslie Nielsen (1926 - 2010) one of the best comedy actors in Hollywood ever made. In November 2010, Nielsen was admitted to a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, hospital with pneumonia. On 28 November, Doug Nielsen, Nielsen's nephew, told the CJOB radio station that 84-year-old Nielsen had died in his sleep from pneumonia around 5:30 pm EST surrounded by family and friends. Leslie you were the man in this movies I really miss you, you know how to make movies like this. I really enjoy watching you in The Naked Gun trilogy. I am not a fan of Airplane movies, but I really love you in The Naked Gun trilogy's.Plot: Lt. Frank Drebbin (Leslie Nielsen) returns to save the day once again. This time he's out to foil the "big boys" in the energy business. A top scientist (Dr Mainheimer) is about to publish his report on energy supply for the future. Things don't look good for the traditional suppliers; oil, coal and nuclear. To save their industries, the suppliers kidnap Mainheimer and replace him with a decoy with a more favorable report. Jane, the Dr's secretary, is Drebbin's old flame; they're passionate love affair is thus rekindled.The Smell of Fear was always my favorite film because it was the first one I saw before I watch the first naked gun. I love that the cast did return in the sequel and where a lot of funny. O.J. Simpson returns as Nordberg and this time he has more screen time than he had in the first one. I love the opening scene in the White House, the scene with lobster was so funny Leslie is awesome my favorite scene will always be the tank scene he he. Who Police squad fires bunch of bullets with their machine guns on the house in which Hector Savage (Anthony James) is hiding ha ha. Frank drives the tank in the house, he destroys whole house, he drives the tank right in the zoo and he cut lose half of animals and when he opens the door you can see monkey siting on a tank and you see Franks face reaction ha ha. Nordberg attaching parts of the weapon was awesome and than he create Browning M1919 machine gun. I also love that Frank with Jane deactivates the bomb on the end of the film.I still like the music song from Ira Newborn in the opening scene and with the car serene was awesome and it is my favorite movie theme ever. The film for me has a few problems that I didn't like that Is why I prefer The Final Insult over this more.Priscilla Presley has brown hairs now and not blonde like she had in the first one.Jane Spencer is now Frank's Ex girlfriend now and all she does is wining about Frank which in my opinion hurts the film.I hate sex scene in the film between Frank and Jane I hate it. I hate the romance and the sad parts over Frank with Jane in this film. The sex scene was so horrible made, that I had to skipped forward.Frank choosing Jane over his big promotion for Jane was a bad idea on the end of the film.I hated Priscilla Presley's character in the film I am sorry I did, I thought she was very annoying.Those were things that bothered me I am giving this film an 8 out of 10 it is a good sequel but can't hold a candle to the original film.The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear is a 1991 comedy film.

Drebin discovers that his ex-girlfriend's new beau is involved in a plot to kidnap a scientist who advocates solar energy. Nothing to laugh at as there are fisticuffs back and forth with those who claim to work for justice. Nielson carries this movie and saves it from being a disaster with his physical slapstick. Nielson's is not the restrained performance that the critics have described. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. The effects are very good for 1991. But nothing to laugh at.

The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell Of Fear is a great movie with a hilarious story line,a good cast (except for Leslie Nielsen,who is brilliant!) and brilliant characters,Frank Drebin being one of my favourite movie characters of all time.The movie certainly isn't as good as the first Naked Gun,but its still a lot of fun,and the first is hard to compete with,its comedy gold.It still manages to be a good fresh sequel,with lots of laughs from start to finish.Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) is back and must save a kidnapped scientist who has been taken by his ex-girlfriends new love interest,who Frank still has feelings for.
