THE NAKED GUN: FROM THE FILES OF POLICE SQUAD 1988 (PARAMOUNT)

One of the greatest comedies of modern times.

Leslie Nielsen stars as Frank Drebin, an incompetent police officer who is part of a special unit called "Police Squad".

This movie concersn Drebin and team assigned to protect a visiting Queen Elizabeth from killer led by a multi-millionaire named Vincent Ludwig (Ricardo Montalban).

The makes of "Airplane" were behind this movie so there are thousands of sight gags and too many jokes to catch the first time around, so this requires multiple viewings.

Needless to say I loved this film and had many laugh out loud moments, much like when I first saw it 30 plus years ago in a theater. They don't make this kind of comedy anymore because of all the WOKE garbage going on in this country and that's a shame.

Nielsen and the entire cast do a great job, and the ending at the ballgame is something to be seen indeed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED comedy epic.

The rest of the cast includes George Kennedy, Priscilla Presley, O.J. Simpson, Nancy Marchand, "Weird" Al Yankovic, nd Nicholas Worth...plus many cameos. Enjoy.
