Then a former WW2 Nazi sympathizer is found with his throat cut. Next Harry’s former partner is murdered. Why had she been trying to reach Harry on the night she was killed? As Harry’s investigation unfolds it becomes clear that the killer is hell-bent on serving his own justice. And while the link between the cases remains a mystery one thing is certain: he must be stopped.

The Naked Gun: From the Files of the Police Squad

Posted by Notcot on May 8, 2010 in Cult Film

Average Rating: 4.5 / 5 (6 Reviews)

Amazon.co.uk Review
Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker, the creative troika behind Airplane!, scored another hit with this big-screen adaptation of their short-lived television show Police Squad!. Deadpan as ever, Leslie Nielsen revives his TV role of Lt Frank Drebin, the idiot with a detective’s badge. The jokes come thick and fast, gathering a momentum that lasts until the final act. Ricardo Montalban is a perfect foil as a villain whose aquarium is invaded by Drebin during routine questioning, and George Kennedy is delightful in a self-parodying part as an earnest but obtuse lawman. There’s a hilarious bit when Drebin–wearing a live police wire while going to the bathroom–can be overheard over the loudspeakers at a speech given by a flustered mayor (Nancy Marchand). And yes, that’s OJ Simpson as a detective who ends up on the wrong side of numerous Drebin blunders. –Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
