This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.
The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! has a scene where several cameras flash at once, lasting about 7 seconds. During a fire, there are some bright electrical sparks.
There is a very brief disorienting shot just after someone hits their head and sits down. The opening sequence is filmed with a mounted camera on a car roof. Two people fall from extreme heights within minutes of each other.
Flashing Lights: 4/10. Motion Sickness: 1/10.

The opening scene is culturally insensitive, with people of various nations depicted as terrorists, and some using a form of blackface. There are two gross-out gags; one with mucus, one with spoiled milk, and an extended one with tobacco spit.
