    Well.....

    I finnaly did get a chance to sit down and watch it!!

    I really enjoyed it, I loved the way they payed hommage to the original actors, especially OJ Simpson.

    The only thing I didn't like, was realizing that the P.L.O.T device,
    was basically rehashing the scenario from The Kingsman. Other than
    that I would definately recommend the film.

    Never saw it, so didn't matter to me. :-)

    Ever watch Angie Trebecca? One episode was a missing painting:
    McGuffin's Thumb.

    I just saw it. It wasn't bad! I had some good laughs :D

    Some of those scenes were a riot.

    Especially after the P.L.O.T device was activated!

    Not sure if I should be embarrased or not.

    Reading about The Naked Gun online, it was the writers intent to parody The Kingsman. Which I was not aware of sitting down to watch the film.

    I guess I should actually watch the first 3 installments of the francise to see if I can pick up whether those films directly parodied a specific film. I do not remember getting that feeling when watching any of the originals. Though the Zucker brothers were always a lot more subtle with their parodying. IE Airplane being a parody of the Canadian made for TV movie Zero Hour.

    I also did not remember Weird Al making an appearence in the other films, which makes his cameo in this installment all the more hillarious!
