    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      After Leslie Nielsen's death in 2010, ESPN published an obituary for "Enrico Pallazzo," writing, "A true Renaissance man, Enrico Pallazzo umpired the game after performing the national anthem... Pallazzo was the first - and only - umpire to eject another umpire from a major league game. He also is believed to be the first - and only - umpire to use an upright vacuum cleaner to tidy up home plate."
    • Goofs
      In the video/theatrical release, in the final battle with Vincent Ludwig, Frank Drebin's chest protector has deflated without reason. (note: the network television broadcast adds a scene in which Ludwig shoots the chest protector, causing it to deflate.)
    • Quotes

      Frank: It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

      Jane: Goodyear?

      Frank: No, the worst.

    • Crazy credits
      Many of the bit players are credited next to the one line of dialogue they had in the film. For example: "It's Enrico Pallazzo!" ... Mark Holton
    • Alternate versions
      On a recent Comedy Central airing in 2006, the entire opening scene with Frank Drebin and the hostile foreign leaders was cut, instead going straight to the opening credits. This is probably due to sensitivity regarding the conflict overseas.

    Only Leslie Nielsen could do this!

    For sheer goof-ball exuberance, you needn't look any further than "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!". Leslie Nielsen remains forever associated with the role of inept Lt. Frank Drebin, who always tries to do the right thing but always makes a mess of everything. Here, he's trying to foil an assassination attempt on Queen Elizabeth. Since this is from the people behind "Airplane!", it means that much of the humor derives from twisted dialogue and things popping out of the background. To crown it all, there's even a guest appearance by "Weird Al" Yankovic as himself. Also starring are Priscilla Presley, George Kennedy, O.J. Simpson, and Ricardo Montalban.

    And to think that Leslie Nielsen started out in movies like "Forbidden Planet"!
