Critical Reception and Box Office Performance
Upon its release, The Naked Gun received positive reviews from critics, holding an approval rating of 87 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 334 critic reviews. The audience rating stands at 73 percent. Notably, Wenlei Ma of The Nightly praised the film, describing it as “an unadulterated good time, absolutely brimming with sight gags, one-liners, and goofy humour.” She added, “The original films were known for being unapologetically silly, and this sequel did not scrimp. It’s dumb but brilliantly dumb.”
Financially, the film has also performed strongly, grossing over $52 million at the domestic box office and approximately $49.5 million internationally. With its impending streaming release, The Naked Gun is expected to attract an even broader audience, further solidifying its impact in the comedy genre.
