This film is again a action movie however this one is an action comedy. It follows the work of a clumsy detective who is investigating a case.
From the opening sequence you can tell its going to be a comedy as you follow the top of a police car when its running red lights pulling onto pavements nearly hitting people. You notice the films not going to be realistic when the car pulls through someones house and then into the shower room of a girls gym. its when you see girls covered only in towels you can tell that the main character will probably be a man who isn't very good around women.
In comparison this is very different to the captain america opening sequence. The captain america sequence is very serious and deigned to create mystery and action and draw the reader in. Whereas the naked gun sequence is designed to make the viewer laugh and make them want to watch more because they will laugh more.

Comparing the atmosphere of 2 action movie openings
http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/captain-america-the-first-avenger/
The first film I am going to analyse is 'Captain America' this film is based on the marvel comic 'Captain America' its an action thriller film which depicts a normal man turned into a superhero by an experiment gone wrong who is then sent out to fight the Nazis.
The opening sequence of this film really gets you into the war atmosphere with the cartoon style drawing planes and guns firing and the famous picture of the women with her sleeves rolled up and her hand on her bicep. By using drawings the film also makes you relate back to the comic and the situations captain america would get himself into.
The music of the sequence relates a lot to the plot as there is a constant marching beat in the background where as the overlaid trumpets represents valiance almost like the american national anthem.
The final scene of the sequence is the Captain America logo printed on a rip effect almost badge like a soldier would sew onto his uniform which again relates to the plotline of the film.
