"Naked Gun" is a comedy film series that began with "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!" released in 1988. The movies follow the bumbling detective Frank Drebin, played by Leslie Nielsen, as he hilariously attempts to solve crimes and thwart various plots, often leading to absurd situations and misunderstandings. The films are known for their slapstick humor, visual gags, and clever wordplay. They are based on the short-lived television series Police Squad!, which also starred Nielsen. The franchise includes two sequels, "Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear" and "Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult."
