NAKED GUN 2 1/2

NAKED GUN 2 1/2. David Zucker, dir. USA: Paramount, 1991.

Mostly mainstream satire, in which alternative energy is opposed by "the nefarious trio" of "the Society of Petroleum Industry Leaders (SPIL), the Society for More Coal Energy (SMOCE), and the Key Atomic Benefits Office of Mankind" (KABOOM)." Cited by Keith Meatto, whom we quote, as one of "The Top Five" works "from the worlds of film and music" that "suggest that interest in this once-electrifying topic"—solar energy—"could easily be resparked" (Mother Jones, March/April 2000: 81).
