The Naked Gun Trilogy (1988)

This collection contains:

The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad (1988)

A rerun of many of the gags from the television series Police Squad! (1982). An Airplane! (1980)-type spoof, this time with the 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.

The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991)

Lieutenant Frank Drebin returns to save the day once again. This time he’s out to foil the “big boys” in the energy business. A top scientist (Dr. Mainheimer) is about to publish his report on energy supply for the future. Things don’t look good for the traditional suppliers; oil, coal, and nuclear. To save their industries, the suppliers kidnap Mainheimer and replace him with a decoy with a more favorable report. Jane, the doctor’s secretary, is Drebin’s old flame. Their passionate love affair is thus rekindled.

Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994)

Tasting the fruit of his labor with his wife Jane, the maladroit and now retired Police Squad Lieutenant, Frank Drebin, secretly dreams of getting back in action. Before long, his old partners, Ed and Nordberg, will have to enlist the help of their loose-cannon friend, when Rocco, the deranged terrorist, intends on blowing to smithereens the annual Academy Awards ceremony. Once more, Drebin goes undercover, interrogating dangerous blonde bombshells, and putting in jeopardy his precious but fragile marriage. Are this year’s Oscars doomed to disaster?
