** A fourth ''Naked Gun'' film starring Creator/LeslieNielsen almost happened; in 2009, it was announced that a [[MadeForTVMovie made-for-TV sequel]] was in development. It was titled ''The Naked Gun 4: Rhythm Of Evil'' and would have centered around Frank Drebin training a young rookie. The Zucker-Abrams-Zucker team wanted nothing to do with it, so the script was written by Alan Spencer which he considered "really funny" and it even convinced Paramount executives to briefly greenlight the film to go to theaters. A script rewrite enhanced the story to where Frank Drebin would be training a whole new generation of unintentionally-incompetent cops. It is unknown if Creator/GeorgeKennedy, Creator/OJSimpson, or Creator/PriscillaPresley would have been reprising their roles as Capt. Ed Hocken, Officer Nordberg, and Jane Spencer. Otherwise, things were looking good for ''Naked Gun 4''... until Spencer was ordered by Paramount, for zero possible good reason, to reduce Nielsen's part down to a cameo before ordering Frank to be omitted altogether. Spencer opted to quit the project instead, causing it to enter DevelopmentHell until Creator/LeslieNielsen himself sadly passed away at the age of 84 the next year, sadly putting an end to any possibility of a ''Naked Gun 4'' baring his name on the marquee, forever.
