Classic comedy
It is easy to watch the buffonery and sight gags in these movies.

Very punny!
Campy and funny and full of stupid puns, just like you’d expect. I bought it for my husband for his birthday and he absolutely loves Leslie Nielsen, so we have enjoyed watching the video very much.

Slapstick at its best
The classic TV show Police Squad and 3 of the funniest comedies I have ever seen. Leslie Nielsen is a comedic genius and a fantastic actor in his own right. These movies have made a little comeback recently and I am glad other people are discovering how great this film series is.

Un increíble precio por una de las series y 3 de las películas mas hilarantes de la historia

Fan de la série et des films. j’ai reçu un produit qui n’etait pas neuf du tout mais au contraire fortement usagé voir dégradé a la vue des DVD piqué au niveau des pistes, sans parler des traces de doigts et la poussiere à l’interieur des boitiers. A FUIR!

This product does not work on UK DVD players. Contacted seller who offered a refund if I sent it back in the original packaging. I didn’t have this as it was a Christmas present. Lesson learned. Beware does not work in the UK!
