Based on how popular Airplane! was, I think we're safe to poll these two!

This is a no-brainer. The Naked Gun is a classic!

Ashley

It has to be Naked Gun. Lesley Nielson is a genius and its also a trilogy.

DarthChef

I would vote for both 👍

Christopher Mitchell

Oh it has to be "The Naked Gun" trilogy everytime. No competition there even though I've never seen "top secret".

Naked Gun is a little more rewatchable. They're both good, but Top Secret! seems to focus more on the gags than the characters or the plot. For the next parody poll, I'd add Hot Shots to the mix.

Brad Shelton

They are both great, I am voting Top Secret because its a single movie. You can Watch the 3 Naked Gun movies later. Also Top Secret is the next movie ZAZ made, is also the last full ZAZ movie with all 3 writing and directing, and the main character's actors first movie.

I'm going to be the contrarian here & say Top Secret! This is actually something that I just watched for the first time within the last few years. I'd seen all their other movies many years before including some in the theater. I don't know why I put off this one for so long because it's fantastic. To me at least this feels like maybe their weirdest movie? There's just some truly bizarre bits in it. Although many movies since have used the ZAZ style, only one has attempted to parody the genre here. It happened to star Leslie Neilsen & it was absolutely dreadful despite his efforts.

I just can't get past OJ Simpson in the Naked Gun so I voted Top Secret.

Dr Snooze

I say again, Top Secret has one of the greatest scenes ever filmed. As a film maker, you will absolutely appreciate it!

Philipp Roensch

Top Secret is not just a great film, it as an Kilm, as it has Val Kilmer. Happy to see either, Naked Gun aged worse, but is still funny^^.

Ryan Scheck

I liked Top Secret more because many of it's jokes were a little more complex and abstract. Many film students I knew loved it. Naked Gun was more commercial and had mainstream appeal...

Michael Buhl

They're both a lot of fun, and I really like them both. I can't explain exactly why I like Top Secret! more, but I do. Nevertheless, this is a win/win poll.

Jason McNeil

I chose Top Secret! because it's the one I haven't seen . . . or heard of. Plus it has an exclamation point like Airplane!.

I think what I like most about Top Secret over The Naked Gun is the diversity of gags. Naked Gun is structured around police procedural so most of the gags are within that structure. Top Secret has some very out of left field scenes. Both are very good though. With The Naked Gun it actually started as a TV series that ran for 6 episodes, named Police Squad!, which is why the tag line is "from the files of Police Squad!" There's definitely no strong continuity there other than Leslie Nielsen playing Frank Drebin, and a lot of characters with the same name but different actors. The movies have way more story arc continuity than the series did. More people have probably seen Naked Gun than have ever seen Police Squad. And a lot of gags from Police Squad got reused in the movies.
