Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film is a pure slapstick comedy and parody, with its primary objective being humor rather than political commentary, resulting in an apolitical thematic core.
The movie features traditional casting without intentional race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative is a slapstick comedy that does not critically portray traditional identities or explicitly engage with diversity, equity, and inclusion themes.
Secondary
Officer Nordberg, a character originally portrayed by a white actor in the 'Police Squad!' TV series, is played by a Black actor (O.J. Simpson) in 'The Naked Gun,' which constitutes a race swap.
The film contains no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its plot or character development. Consequently, there is no specific portrayal of LGBTQ+ individuals or issues to assess, leading to an N/A rating for its net impact on representation.
The film "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal of transsexual identity to evaluate within the narrative.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is a continuation of the TV series "Police Squad!". All established characters from the original series, such as Frank Drebin, Ed Hocken, and Nordberg, retain their canonical male gender in the movie. No characters from prior canon or source material had their gender changed.
