Best "The Naked Gun" Movie Quote

from Great Pop Culture Debate

“The Naked Gun” series of films premiered in 1988, a movie continuation of the flop TV show “Police Squad.” While the spoof of police procedurals didn’t find an audience when it ran on ABC for just six episodes in 1982, the misadventures of Leslie Nielsen’s Lieutenant Frank Drebin were a smash success on the big screen, leading to a trilogy in the late 20th Century, and a reboot film in 2025. The simultaneously stupid and brilliant scripts by director David Zucker, Jerry Zucker, and Jim Abrams, Pat Proft and others were loaded with zingers, absurdist cutaways, and sight gags that, nearly 40 years later, are largely unparalleled.
