Editor's Note
In this zany comedy, L.A. cop Lt. Frank Drebin nearly destroys the world several times over (while trying to save it) as he uncovers an insidious plot to assassinate the Queen of England during an L.A. Dodgers game.
Plot Summary
A slapstick spoof of police thrillers and action films by the makers of "Airplane." Lieutenant Frank Drebin, comic cop and master car-crasher, must protect Queen Elizabeth II, when world terrorists target her for assassination during her visit to the United States. Despite this high-level assignment, Frank still has time to fall in love with a younger woman along the way.
