Where To Watch the Original The Naked Gun Movies for Free
Now that Liam Neeson has jumped into Nielsen's shoes for the 2025 reboot, many fans will be wondering where they can watch the original The Naked Gun movies without having to dig deep into their pockets for a host of older films that they might not even like. Thankfully, The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988), The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991), and Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994) are all streaming on Pluto TV for absolutely free, and no trial subscription is needed either.
Just like the reboot, Leslie Nielsen's original movies were well-received by critics and fans alike, with The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! Getting a very decent score of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes and its follow-up achieving a score of 77%. Although many reboots of older TV shows and movies don't always work in this day and age, like 2006's remake of The Wicker Man or the Charmed reboot, it seems as though The Naked Gun is a rare example of old meeting new and working really well. Liam Neeson believes that there is a big reason why the reboot is being so well-received right now, and he does have a valid point.
After watching the original The Naked Gun movies, there are plenty of other films viewers can watch for free that have just been added to Pluto TV. Some of these include Airplane!, Airplane II: The Sequel, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Bill & Ted Face The Music, Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, Interstellar, Stephen King's Christine, Pulp Fiction, Saving Private Ryan, and many more.
