Synopsis:
I absolutely adore Leslie Nielsen. I love the Naked Gun and Police Squad, although I feel the latter hasn't aged all that gracefully. The good parts are terrific, but jokes are re-used in each episode up to the point where you are annoyed and it feels lazy. So I aimed to fix that and effectively make a fourth Naked Gun movie instead.
Intentions:
I made this edit out of my love for Leslie Nielsen, and to accomplish three things:
- Editing a comedy
- Making a TV-to-Movie edit
Change List:
- The movie starts and ends with the final episode
- Inserted a visual gag when the poisoned victim is hallucinating based on feedback by the wonderful @Phase3
- Title credits changed to include the new title
- I took every episode and tried to make a coherent narrative as possible while having these casefiles happen semi-simultaniously.
- Removed episode 2 entirely for not being funny
- Remove all the cold opens, except for the last episode. We now find out about them as the main characters find out about them
- Remove every scene with the shoeshine boy that happens in each episode, as they are pacing killers.
- Remove every joke that's repeated too much, every joke is only done once, unless they cannot be cut
- Remove jokes that have been done in the movies, as this intended to be prequel to the Naked Gun trilogy
- Added one narration joke based on feedback by the great and magnificent WilliamRedRobin
- Inserted one little editor's joke for out fellow editors
