Welcome back fellow geeks, Blu-ray collectors and movie buffs!
If you are a fan of the late comedy legend Leslie Nielsen and the comedy films related to ZAZ (Zucker-Abraham-Zucker), then you might be interested to acquire the 4K Blu-ray of the 1988 comedy classic The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!
To make things clear, this is not the first that the funny movie was released on 4K Blu-ray format. In fact, the 4K Blu-ray of The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! was released on November 2023 in a Steelbook package. What was released a few days ago was the 4K Blu-ray in a simpler and more affordable package.

For the newcomers reading this, The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! is based on the short-lived TV series Police Squad! which had Leslie Nielsen as the star and the creators were David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker (ZAZ). The said creators co-directed the memorable 1980 comedy Airplane! and 1984’s Top Secret! starring a very young Val Kilmer.
I personally am interested in acquiring the newest 4K Blu-ray copy of the 1988 film. I have seen The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! several times starting on cable TV in the early 1990s and then replayed it on DVD years later. Even though I knew the story and the jokes, the film directed by David Zucker always made me laugh again. I should state that Leslie Nielsen is naturally funny to watch and the supporting players – George Kennedy, Priscilla Presley, Ricardo Montalban and O.J. Simpson – contributed nicely to the film’s entertainment value.
The 1988 movie was so successful, it had two sequels – The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991) and Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult (1994).
One of these days, I will buy the movie on the ultra-high definition format as my personal collection of Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray movies could use another comedy film. I am also curious as to how the first The Naked Gun movie looks like in native 4K visuals.
