THE NAKED GUN: FROM THE FILES OF POLICE SQUAD!
The AIRPLANE! team adapted its short-lived TV series, a parody of seemingly every cop show ever made, and turned it into a hugely successful feature film showcasing the unique talents of Leslie Nielsen as Lt. Frank Drebin, a numskull detective who must foil evil millionaire Vincent Ludwig’s (Ricardo Montalban) plot to kill the Queen of England at a California Angels game, using a brainwashed Reggie Jackson as his assassin. Great comedic contributions come from George Kennedy as his partner and Priscilla Presley as his love interest.
