One of the funniest comedies ever made! ZAZ-team's (Zucker-Abrahams-Abrahams) fast-paced slapstick comedy is full of visual and verbal puns and gags masterfully delivered by the late Leslie Nielsen as the Lieutenant Frank Drebin from Police Squad!
Jim Abrahams and the Zucker Brothers in triumphant form, bringing the cast of Police Squad to the silver screen.
Lt Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) is a cop with a high arrest rate, but a low IQ. Investigating the attempted murder of a fellow detective (OJ Simpson!) he uncovers a plot to make baseball legend Reggie Jackson assassinate the Queen of England.
Nielsen, in probably his most memorable role, is aided and abetted by a stellar cast, including Ricardo Montalban, George Kennedy and Priscilla Presley. A bigger budget means bigger gags, but the spoofing of classic movies is still at the heart of the film. Everything from ‘Regle Du Jeu’ to ‘The Maltese Falcon’ is amiably riffed, and it’s truly an experience to see Nielsen at the top of his game.
