On this day, December 2, 1988, the hilarious comedy The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! premiered in theaters. Starring Leslie Nielsen as the bumbling but lovable Detective Frank Drebin, the film brought absurd humor and slapstick comedy to audiences worldwide.

Based on the short-lived TV series Police Squad!, The Naked Gun became a massive hit, thanks to its clever gags, ridiculous situations, and Nielsen’s deadpan comedic brilliance. The film’s success spawned two sequels and cemented its status as a comedy classic.
