August is packed with hilarious new comedies, so get ready to laugh!
1. The Naked Gun
Lieutenant Frank Drebin, a comically inept detective from the Police Squad, investigates the attempted murder of his partner Nordberg , who was shot during an undercover drug bust. As Drebin pursues leads, he uncovers a sinister plot by corporate tycoon Vincent Ludwig to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II—who’s visiting Los Angeles—using a brainwashed baseball player under mind-control. Along the way, Drebin teams up with Ludwig’s unsuspecting assistant Jane Spencer, who becomes his romantic interest and ally in stopping the assassination and uncovering the larger conspiracy.
The film blends rapid-fire slapstick, deadpan delivery, visual gags and absurd humour to deliver a parody of police procedural films.
