comment
A film Spin-Off of Police Squad!, following Police Lt. Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) as he continues to get into trouble. The films serve as parodies of the cop genre and (initially) film noir, and let nothing, including the blatant warping of reality and breaks in the fourth wall, get in the way of a good gag. The genius of the Drebin character is that Nielsen plays him almost totally straight: he's a buffoon, but he acts like a completely serious film detective even as lunacy explodes all around him, almost as if he's wandered in from a different movie.Features slapstick, Visual Puns and Shout-Outs by the bucketful. At three movies, this actually lasted longer than the TV series it was based on. In all three Frank's love interest is Jane Spencer (Priscilla Presley).The films are: The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) -While trying to clear the name of Officer Nordberg, Drebin uncovers a plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II. The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991) - Drebin meets the new man in Jane's life (Robert Goulet), who is involved in a kidnapping scheme. Naked Gun 33â…“: The Final Insult (1994) - Drebin comes out of retirement to infiltrate a gang in prison and stop a plot to bomb the Oscars. He must also save his faltering marriage. A fourth movie is planned. Reports have the creative team behind Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022) — director Akiva Schaffer and writers Dan Gregor and Doug Mand — attached to the project. Liam Neeson is circling a deal to star. Seth MacFarlane will executive produce. The film is scheduled for July 15, 2025.

comment
Creator Cameo: David Zucker (director of the first two films) appears as Davy Crockett and later as the teleprompter operator in 2½ and 33⅓, respectively. 33⅓ director Peter Segal has several. In addition to playing the producer of Sawdust and Mildew, he's the voice of the suicide bomber in the Battleship Potemkin/The Untouchables parody at the start of the movie, the voice of the KSAD deejay, the ADR'd scream of the inmate escaping prison by pole-vaulting, the real Phil Donahue (before Frank knocks him out and takes his place), and the voice of the man shouting "Stop the stairs, Joey!" at the Academy Awards.

Comic-Book Time
 The Naked Gun / int_1989b0c
comment
Comic-Book Time: There's a bit of it early on when the characters remember having seen Tanya Peters in a dance club sometime during the disco era of the late '70s (let's say, 1978). Since Leslie Nielsen and George Kennedy were already middle-aged in '78, seeing them looking more or less the same (except for the '70s Hair, of course) in the disco setting isn't too much of a stretch. But when we see Tanya herself, she's blatantly the same age as in the present day (about her mid-20s); if she had aged along with everyone else, she'd be at least 40 years old throughout most of the movie, which she is not. (Interestingly, Tanya's portrayer, Anna Nicole Smith, was not even a teenager when the disco era ended.)

Not Helping Your Case: All three major energy industries (coal, oil, and nuclear) produce commercials that defend their energy brand. However, all are filled with ironic imagery that, if it weren't played for comedy, wouldn't convince people that their energy policy is the way to go. (for example, the nuclear ad features a mutated, two-tailed dog). Add in that the acronyms for the industry organizations for coal, oil, and nuclear are SMOKE, SPIL, and KABOOM

Every Car Is a Pinto: A car-chase ends with the pursued villain crashing his car into the side of a tanker truck. Explosion #1. Then, straddling the flaming remains of his vehicle, he runs into an army missile being towed on a trailer. Explosion #2. Now riding the missile, he plows in through the front door of a fireworks factory. EXPLOSION NUMBER THREE, as Frank Drebin unsuccessfully attempts to shoo away gawking spectators: "Move along! There's nothing to see here!" Frank shoots at his own car when its brakes disengage due to some airbags that went off; he winds up hitting the gas tank and causes it to blow up.

Creator In-Joke: The montage of Drebin and Jane dating featuring "I'm Into Something Good" ends with a freeze-framed credit saying it's on The Naked Gun Soundtrack on Wheelo Records.◊ The movie didn't have a soundtrack album came outnote  Varèse Sarabande issued a 35:46 compilation of tracks from the first two movies a few years later, but when La-La Land Records issued all three scores on a 3-disc set, they have a logo for Wheelo Records on the packaging. (And yes, "I'm Into Something Good" is on the first disc.)

Improbable Weapon User: When the hitman who came to kill Jane fights with Frank, they use a whole series of these, including a hair dryer and a towel thrown in Frank's face (a Call-Back to the Vorpal Pillow?), and culminating with a firehose that Drebin accidentally breaks while it's shoved in the hit man's mouth, leading to an off-screen Your Body Asplode. Crosses the Line Twice! Not mentioning that before the fight, the mook fits a revolver... with a silencer (not entirely impossible, but tremendously impractical).

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Dr. Meinheimer would have given his pro-clean energy sources speech at the White House dinner (thereby nipping Hapsburg's plan in the bud), if it hadn't been for Frank causing a ruckus with his attempts to eat lobster. Frank gets another later during the stand-off with Savage. The police have him surrounded and he is about to surrender, when Frank crashes a tank through his house, giving him cover to escape. Ed gets one near the end when Frank has Hapsburg hanging from a window, threatening to drop him unless he gives up the code for the bomb. Hapsburg is just giving the code, when Ed pushes him out the window (not realising what was happening). Even Frank calls him out on it.

Bait-and-Switch: Lampshaded; Frank asks the bartender to give him the strongest thing he's got, to which a muscle-heavy man walks up. Frank says, "On second thought, how about a Black Russian." The bartender looks at the camera and shakes his head, indicating that he's not going to perform the obvious punchline. When Capt. Hocken attempts Good Old Fisticuffs with a mook only for him to get his ass kicked.

Denser and Wackier: The series as a whole, both compared to the original series and itself as it progresses. All parodies aside, Frank was much less of a buffoon in the original series, being a genuinely competent cop who happened to be starring in an absurd comedy series. Within the trilogy, the first movie actually has some moments of realism. By the second film this has dropped off considerably, being completely gone by the third.

GPS Evidence: Parodied when the scientist involved outlines his plan to do an exhaustive study and analysis of the city's soil sample from a footprint found at the crime scene. When the police tell him that they don't have time for him to run his tests, the scientist helpfully suggests getting the criminal's address from the driver's license in his wallet, also found at the crime scene. And again when Ted the lab guy tries to analyze the wood fiber in a message from their suspect and determines that it came from a specific tree found only in one region and used as raw material in only one paper mill. The trail unfortunately went cold from there, so it's a good thing the message had their suspect's address on the letterhead, eh?

Foreshadowing: All things considered, the film actually does a pretty good job of not telegraphing the twist of Jane being Vincent Ludwig's final sleeper agent. First, we see Ludwig test his device on his secretary Dominique, while later Jane tells Frank that she does what Ludwig tells her to do, but these two scenes are far enough apart in the film that first-time viewers likely won't notice.

comment
Continuity Nod: The car Frank and Jane drive in the flashback to their honeymoon is the same solar-powered car that Hapsburg shows to his co-conspirators in the previous film. This scene was meant to be the previous film's ending, hence Nordberg getting dragged with it. The flashback also features Frank's previous love mentioned in the beginning of the first film. A deleted scene (which aired in the TV broadcast) showed Frank walking past a cell in the state prison containing a lion. This could be the same lion that mauled Hapsburg to death at the end of the second film; given the "logic" of this series, it's conceivable that the lion would've been charged with homicide.

Oh, Crap!: When Frank accuses her of only having a romantic relationship with him because she was told to, Jane slaps him across the face... and then realizes she just slapped a police officer while surrounded by dozens of other cops. Fortunately, either knowing it was a heat-of-the-moment reflex, out of pity, or not wanting to make a bigger scene, Frank does not arrest her. Also Nordberg at the very end of the film, when Frank's friendly backslap sends his wheelchair rolling down the steps of the stadium.

All for Nothing: The coal, oil and nuclear industries are afraid of losing their profits if Dr. Meinheimer advocates renewables, but once he actually gets to speak he is so boring that anyone who isn't asleep probably isn't going to be warmed up to renewables by his efforts. They could have just let him speak to get their way, but then the film would have been a lot shorter.

I Ate WHAT?!: Frank goes to the crime lab where Ted has been examining the explosive used in the bombing their investigating. Frank dips his finger in the petri dish on Ted's desk, tastes it, and begins to deduce what it tastes like, when Ted informs him that the petri dish contains Fertilizer, evidence relating to a completely separate case. Frank makes a "yuck" face and while Ted continues his monologue, Frank grabs a random beaker full of yellow liquid off his desk to wash the taste out of his mouth with. In a double-whammy of this trope, Ted then takes the beaker off Frank's hands saying, "Let me take that urine specimen from you, Frank," leading to the mandatory Spit Take.

Drebin's bad driving.

The second half of the gag is that he's almost always completely oblivious to what he's done.

Slip into Something More Comfortable: Parodied. After Frank Drebin arrives home late at night, he finds Jane (then working for Ludwig) wearing one of Drebin's shirts. After some suggestive dialog, Frank, who is wearing a collared shirt, slacks, and a tie, says that he will go slip into something more comfortable. He emerges wearing a suit. Then he slips out of it completely by just pulling the collar.

Accidental Hero: Frank has a habit of pulling this, especially in the second film: He responds to his award for "One Thousandth Drug Dealer Killed" by remarking that he accidentally ran over the last two with his car. In a later scene, he unknowingly saves his colleagues from a crazed gunman. In the climax, he defuses a bomb when, in a mad scramble to run away from the ensuing explosion, he trips over and dislodges the plug.

Shout-Out: The Automobile Opening shows the car driving through Death Star and Jurassic Park. After experiencing marital problems, Jane goes with a girlfriend on a Thelma & Louise-style road trip. The friend is even named "Louise" and dresses just like Susan Sarandon did in that movie. The film begins with a Cold Open that sends up The Untouchables (and, by extension, The Battleship Potemkin) (see Baby Carriage above) The Dillon gang go to a bunker to test their atomic weapon. After the detonation, the explosion blows their hair straight up, making them look like the main characters from Beavis And Butthead, which Rocco himself further alludes to by muttering: "Huh-huh-huh, huh-huh-huh, cool..." Tanya's gender reveal is a Played for Laughs parody of The Crying Game.

comment
Dramatic Unmask: Drebin attempts this with the impersonator, not knowing that the real Dr. Meinheimer had been freed and taken his place while the impersonator had been arrested. Made worse when the means of unmasking involved pulling down the poor doctor's pants because of a birthmark of Whistler's Mother on his backside. When discovering it is there, he assumes it's a fake and tries to remove it with a buffing machine in front of the entire award banquet audience.

Artistic License – Cars: After Drebin crashes his car into the trash cans outside the station and quickly exits the vehicle, the rapidly-inflating airbag pushes the gearshift lever up which causes the car to start rolling downhill, presumably having shifted it into drive or neutral. The Ford LTD Crown Vic's gearshift actually has Park at the top with the other gears below it. Also, the 1985 Ford LTD Crown Vic did not have any airbags.

Drives Like Crazy
 The Naked Gun / int_f96f188c
comment
Drives Like Crazy: Whenever Drebin gets behind the wheel, something bad happens. The scene when Drebin tags along in a driving school car is especially notable, when the driving instructor instructs the student how to flip the bird. Drebin gets into a tank; when Captain Hocken tells him that Frank doesn't know how to drive it, he means it. The opening credits are also built on this. A cop car (presumably containing Drebin) viewed from the emergency lights shows absolutely insane or just plain nonsensical driving behavior, including driving on sidewalks, into people's homes, on rollercoasters, into bullfighting arenas, restaurants, hockey rinks, the air, the surface of the Death Star, and prehistoric times. (to Jane) "After I met you I noticed things I never saw before. Birds singing, dew glistening off a leaf, stop lights." Jane driving the humongous semi in 33â…“; When she stops at Rocco's place, she has a road worker stuck at the grill. In a Thelma & Louise nod, Jane and her lady friend practically pack their whole house on the trunk of their convertible, constantly spilling appliances down the road. Drebin notes when he is being awarded a citation for his 1000th drug dealer killed that he accidentally backed over the last three with his car and only found out they were drug dealers after.

Comically Missing the Point: During the Academy Awards sequence, when Frank and Jane are looking for a bomb hidden inside the winner envelopes and one of the presenters says, "This is going to be dynamite."

Bit Character: Tons of them throughout all three movies, to the point where many characters in the credits are simply identified by the one line they say.

comment
Bigger on the Inside: Jane's fridge is deep enough to fit her whole on a single shelf while laying face down, and ample enough for her to turn and knock on the door when it closes behind her.

Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught
 The Naked Gun / int_febb58e2
comment
Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught: A very subtle one. Quentin Hapsburg is playing Solitaire at a gala and begins to get fed up with the cards he's being dealt; he gives up and picks up the pile to look for the cards he needs. He doesn't even have the respect for the rules or the patience for a game where he has no opponents and there's nothing at stake. Also, Hidden Depths, considering how buffoonish the environment of the movies plays out.

Talking Is a Free Action: Lampshaded or subverted depending on how you want to look at it — Frank and Jane are having a heartwarming moment when Ed reminds Frank about the huge bomb that's set to explode any second
