1988 spoof movie starring the inimitable Leslie Nielson, I have to admit I recently re-watched this simply so I could prepare for the new 2025 film of the same name, which is supposed to be a continuation of the same (with Liam Neeson playing Frank Drebin Jr, the son of the protagonist of this).
This is full of visual gags and puns, not all of which land, with Nielson admirably deadpan throughout. Slight cringe in that his partner, here, is OJ Simpson from back before his arrest, trail and imprisonment for murder.

Tv show to Movie
Made from the 1982 TV show Police Squad we see this Movie follow the zany and wacky Lt Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielson) trying to solve the attempt of murder of his longtime partner Norberg (O.J Simpson) This movie is funny and hysterical from the first minute into the film. We see him bungle his way around the film to catch the real mastermind behind the crimes being done in his city. If you ever watched the show you will love this film. This movie spawned two sequels that weren't really needed.
