Talk:Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult

Spelling of Drebin's Cover Identity
When imprisoned with Rocco, Frank Drebin assumes a cover identity by the name of 'Nick 'The Slasher' McGurk'. There are various widespread misspellings of this cover identity across the internet, most commonly McGuirk, McGerk or McGirk. The official DVD version of the movie shows the name to be McGurk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.102.167.97 (talk) 21:22, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Anna Nicole Smith
No mention of Anna Nicole Smith in the movie? She played a main character in the movie!

Inspirations?
"The opening scene in the train station was inspired by The Untouchables (1987 film)" -

I havent seen The Untouchables, but i think it was rather from The Battleship Potemkin, can someone confirm?

As the DVD commentary remarked, setting the scene on a train station steps refers to The Untouchables (1987 film), which itself referred to The Battleship Potemkin in the setting of a gun battle on stairs and the baby in a pram in peril. 119.11.19.206 (talk) 11:09, 30 November 2008 (UTC) M BG

I'm sure that the prison breakout is a parody of The Great Escape, where the English dig a tunnel from their quarters, and get rid of the dirt outside. 91.84.7.89 20:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Titles
I don't think the international titles section is noteable. Lots42 (talk) 18:16, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Is there a reputable source for the "Just for the Record" title? I mean, is IMDB trivia that reliable? I've had stuff "published" on there before, so how reliable can it be? I do recall Leslie Nielsen on the Tonight Show quoting this alternate title as the original, but I don't know how serious he was or where a video (or transcript) of that interview can be produced. I'm not necessarily saying this should be removed, but at least stated with less certainty. --Sm5574 (talk) 15:35, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Bomb envelope
In the spirit of fairness, I'll give everyone time to respond to this before I edit the article. The bomb was not placed in the "Best Actress" envelope, that was just the top envelope on the stack that Jane was pilfering through. The bomb was, in fact, in the "Best Picture" envelope.

“Lowest grossing in the series”?
How is it that the Box Office section mentions this is the lowest grossing film in the series when it grossed $122 million while the second one only grossed $86 million? That should be fixed. PokeHomsar (talk) 23:48, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Because the second one did not only gross $86 million. It grossed $86 million in the United States and Canada. Other countries in the world exist. Websites like Box Office Mojo and The Numbers don't have worldwide grosses for most films prior to the late 1990s.Sudiani (talk) 18:48, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult → Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult – According to on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Mathematics/Archive 4 and Manual of Style/Accessibility, ⅓ is not safe for screen readers. Digesting MOS:FRAC, the logical solution would be to move this article to Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult and use the following to make the title appear as "Naked Gun 33 1/3", without changing the copy-paste value:

 * Support as WP:COMMONNAME, judging by the article's sources which generally do not use the fraction character. Additionally, MOS:TM goes on to say that Avoid using special characters that [...] simply substitute for English words or letters (e.g., "♥" used for "love", "!" used for "i") or for normal punctuation, unless a significant majority of reliable sources that are independent of the subject consistently include the special character in the subject's name. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi!
