I love "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!" (released in 1988) so much that it's kind of ridiculous. It's a hilarious police spoof based off "Police Squad!," a 1982 TV show that only lasted six episodes and spawned 2 theatrical sequels which when compared to this classic do not measure up. The cast of "The Naked Gun" includes Leslie Nielsen, Priscilla Presley, George Kennedy, O.J. Simpson, and Ricardo Montalban. The cast has great chemistry with each other and are all so unbelievably capable at comedy. Leslie Nielsen is hilarious and has some great one liners. I personally enjoy Leslie Nielsen more in this than in "Airplane!" - made by the same team of people. The movie requires no brain power to watch but everything from the clever opening sequence to the hilarious finale is memorable and I'm assuming most people would laugh profusely. After all, who better to protect the Queen of England than Lt. Frank Drebin.
