The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! streaming

1988 Movie United States Comedy, Crime 86 min FSK 12

By: David Zucker With: Nancy Marchand, Susan Beaubian, Priscilla Presley, Ricardo Montalban, Leslie Nielsen

A rerun of many of the gags from the television series Police Squad! (1982). An Airplane! (1980)-type spoof, this time with the an incompetent Lieutenant Frank Drebin, who always "gets his man". Visual gags come thick and fast, and it's impossible to catch them all with one viewing. The plot: Queen Elizabeth II of England is coming to town, and Vincent Ludwig has plans to assassinate her using a brainwashed baseball player.
