5[[folder:The Naked Gun - From The Files Of Police Squad!]]
6* The ''entire'' opening scene, where a council composed of the 80s' most notorious terrorists and dictators argue among themselves over what terrorist act to commit this week. Frank is there, serving tea in disguise, and after one too many anti-American rants, proceeds to mop the floor with all of them. Highlights include him wiping off Gorbachev's birthmark with a rag -- it's fake, and Frank exclaims "I knew it!". Then when he faces Khomeini for the second time, he knocks his turban off, revealing a ''bright orange mohawk'', to which Frank makes a baffled AsideGlance before [[GroinAttack punting the Ayatollah in the nads]].
7** The very end of that brawl scene. On the way out of the room, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6nW7XvTYn0&t=2m40s another thug lunges towards Frank but he just lifelessly nudges him out of the way.]] The thug doesn't even make a second attempt to attack him.
8* Nordberg telling the seven armed goons he busts on the "I Luv You" to drop their guns. And one of them ''does'', earning incredulous looks from several of the others.
9** And when the other goons then proceed to shoot Nordberg, Nordberg survives ''and'' remains conscious only for him to suffer all sorts of bizarre and hilarious injuries--including getting hit with a wedding cake and then ''stepping into a BearTrap''--before falling off the boat and into the water (and still surviving, only to suffer yet more injuries in the hospital, first when Frank goes to visit him, and then when Frank goes to stop a hypnotized doctor from assassinating him).
10*** While staggering around from his numerous injuries, Nordberg accidentally leans against a freshly-painted wall, prompting a disappointed "Oh, no..." as he looks down at his ruined jacket.
11** Frank's poor attempts to comfort Mrs. Nordberg.
12--->'''Wilma:''' Oh, my poor Nordberg! He was such a good man, Frank. He never wanted to hurt anyone. Who would do such a thing?\
13'''Frank:''' It's hard to tell. A gang of thugs, a blackmailer, an angry husband, a gay lover...\
14''(Wilma cries, loudly)''\
15'''Ed:''' Frank, get a hold of yourself! A good cop, needlessly cut down by some cowardly hoodlums. No way for a man to die.\
16'''Frank:''' You're right, Ed. A parachute not opening, that's the way to die. Getting caught in the gears of combine, having your nuts bit off by a Laplander. That's the way ''I'' want to go.\
17'''Wilma:''' ''(cries again)'' Frank! This is terrible!\
18'''Ed:''' Don't worry, Wilma. Your husband is gonna be all right. Just think positive. Never let a doubt enter your mind.\
19'''Frank:''' He's right, Wilma, but I wouldn't wait until the last minute to fill out those organ donor cards.\
20''(Wilma cries again)''\
21'''Ed:''' What I'm trying to say is, as soon as Nordberg is better, he's welcome back at Police Squad.\
22'''Frank:''' Unless he's a drooling vegetable, but that's only common sense.\
23''(more loud crying)''
24** In a deleted bit of dialogue:
25---> '''Wilma:''' ''(referring to Nordberg)'' Now we can never have children!\
26'''Frank:''' Wilma, please, he's not even ''dead'' yet. We'll discuss ''our'' lives later.
27** Mrs. Nordberg's snot, which gets on Frank's jacket.
28** After they greet Mrs. Nordberg, Frank wants to know where Nordberg himself is.
29--->'''Frank:''' Where's Nordberg?\
30'''Ed:''' (''points straight down at Nordberg in hospital bed'') [[FailedASpotCheck He's right here, Frank]].
31** This line: "Wilma, I promise you: Whatever scum did this, no man on the force will rest until he's behind bars. [[ImmediateSelfContradiction Now let's grab a bite to eat.]]"
32** In the deleted scenes, on the way out the room, Frank shuts off all the lights, but he also unknowingly shuts off Nordberg's oxygen. An alarm goes off as the trio walk down the hall and we see doctors scrambling into Nordberg's room to revive him. An oblivious Frank tells Wilma: "Just be glad you're not the wife of ''that'' poor guy."
33** When Frank goes to investigate the "I Luv You", there's a chalk line where Nordberg's body was found... that is, IN THE WATER.
34* The press conference scene, where Frank [[IsThisThingStillOn forgets to turn off his microphone as he goes to the bathroom]]. Even funnier now that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kafVFxP3uaQ this has happened in real life]].
35* Frank pays a dock worker for information on Nordberg. The dock worker then pays him to find out why he wants to know. It gets funnier from there.
36** And if you pay attention, Frank earns $20 from it in the end.
37*** [[MindScrew $20 that Frank lent to the dock worker so he can pay Frank, who got the $20 from him.]]
38* The scene in Ludwig's office where Frank drops a priceless Samurai pen in Ludwig's fish tank and, when he tries to retrieve it, gets bitten by a Japanese fighting fish. In the process of trying to get it off his finger, the fish grabs onto his nose. He desperately tries to silence his pain while Ludwig's back is turned:
39--> '''Ludwig''': ''(looking out the window)'' As you know, I'm not the kind of man who takes such things lightly. There is no room in my organization for criminal activity. Look out there: A vast commercial development built by me. Do you have any idea what was out there, just five years ago?\
40'''Frank''': YAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!\
41'''Ludwig''': ''(still looking out the window)'' You bet you do. Orange groves! Acres of them. As far as the eye could see. But now that land will generate ten times the amount of profit per square foot. ''(Frank gets the fish loose and Ludwig turns around, noticing Frank's red nose)'' Are you all right, Lieutenant?\
42''(Frank nods stoically)''
43* Frank's InnerMonologue upon meeting Jane:
44--> '''Frank''': Her hair was the color of gold in old paintings. She had a full set of curves, and the kind of legs you'd like to suck on for a day. She gave me a look [[RagingStiffie I could feel in my hip pocket.]] ''(Jane runs into a wall since she was looking back at Frank)'' Yep, this was starting to get interesting
45* When Jane climbs up a ladder:
46-->'''Frank:''' ''(seemingly looking up her dress)'' ''Nice'' beaver!\
47'''Jane:''' Thank you, I just had it stuffed. ''(brings a stuffed and mounted beaver into view)''
48* Frank ends his PrivateEyeMonologue realizing he's wandered out into the hills outside of town, complete with a [[JunglesSoundLikeKookaburras kookaburra cackle.]]
49-->'''Drebin''': Why was the 'I Luv You' not listed in Ludwig's records? And if it was, did he know about it? And if he didn't, who did? And where the hell was I?
50* Frank's worst case of DrivesLikeCrazy to date, when he parks his car violently enough to trigger the airbags, which end up putting the car in drive, almost running him down. He shoots at his own car, causing the gas tank to explode, and forces some bystanders to give statements which probably ruin their day. And worst of all, he doesn't even realize it's ''his own car'' (until after he's already ordered everyone to give their statements).
51-->'''Frank:''' Anybody catch the license plate? Anybody get a good look at the driver?
52* A hypnotized doctor throws a pillow at Frank's face. Frank reacts like he's being forcibly smothered by ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsjZqQTNFAs holding the pillow onto his own face as if he can't just drop it.]]''
53* Frank climbs into a random car to chase the doctor... and realizes too late that it's a Driver's Ed car.
54** Sir John Houseman as the most laid back driving instructor in the world.
55*** [[CasualDangerDialogue "It's okay. Now normally, you would not be going sixty-five down the wrong way of a one-way street..."]]
56*** "Gently extend your arm... [[FlippingTheBird Extend your middle finger...]] Very good. Well done."
57** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSjK2Oqrgic "Alright! Move on! THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE HERE! PLEASE DISPERSE!"]]
58* In another deleted scene, Frank is monologuing about the case... while participating in a women's aerobics class. And in the scene afterwards, he wanders through the women's locker room, lost in thought, as showering women around him scream.
59* Frank and Jane declare they both practice safe sex, before a cut to a scene where they're writhing in full-body latex robes, including sleeves and gloves, shaped like giant condoms, which even came out of giant condom wrappers.
60* Frank and Jane exit a cinema laughing their heads off... after watching ''Film/{{Platoon}}''!
61** Their whole "falling in love" montage, and they only met yesterday. Set to "I'm Into Something Good," by Herman's Hermits, for extra goofiness.
62** Their date ends with the music title appearing at the bottom left of the screen like a music video.
63* After his date, Frank and Ed stake out Ludwig's penthouse, waiting for him to go out so that Frank can search the office for evidence. While waiting, the two eat a bunch of dyed red pistachios (this was done to hide stains on the shells), leading to their lips and fingers getting smeared with red dye. Then, when Frank goes out of the car after Ludwig finally leaves, the camera reveals a [[BigEater huge pile of red shells]] outside the car door, so large that Frank has to push through.
64* Frank searching Ludwig's penthouse:
65** When Frank goes through Ludwig's desk:
66--->'''Frank:''' ''[after finding something in the drawers]'' Bingo!\
67''(pulls out [[VisualPun a "BINGO" card]])''
68** Frank finds a document proving that Ludwig's been hired to assassinate the Queen of England, but he accidentally burns it due to holding the Zippo he was using to read it in the dark too close to the paper. This causes a chain of DisasterDominoes that has to be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36T5BEpn3dA&t=2s seen to be believed]].
69** Forced to climb out onto the ledge of the building to escape the fire, Frank grabs on to a bunch of male and female statues (which are anatomically correct, with bare breasts and penises), only to [[ThanksForTheMammary accidentally grab the breasts of a woman in a bra]] brushing her hair in the window (complete with honking noises). Frank then falls off the ledge, grabbing the concrete penis of one of the male statues to save himself; he uses it to pull himself up, but his mouth is open looking like he's about to fellate the sculpture, horrifying the woman further. Frank then falls through the other window of the woman's apartment and begins walking around, dazed and groaning, and holding the statue's dick, not helping his case in the ''slightest''. The statue he grabs also gets an erection and a pleased expression while Frank is holding on.
70** The mayor going over Frank's antics afterwards.
71-->'''Mayor:''' ''[reading over the charges against Frank]'' "Entering without a search warrant, destroying property, arson; sexual assault with a concrete dildo"?! ''[to Frank]'' What the hell were you doing there in the first place?
72* This scene, a reference to ''Film/DirtyHarry'':
73-->'''Mayor:''' Now Drebin, I don't want any trouble like you had on the South Side last year. That's my policy.\
74'''Frank:''' Well, when I see five weirdos, dressed in togas, stabbing a man in the middle of the park in full view of a hundred people, I shoot the bastards! That's ''my'' policy!\
75'''Mayor:''' That was a Shakespeare in the Park production of ''Theatre/JuliusCaesar'', you ''moron!'' You killed five actors! ''Good'' ones!
76** Note the emphasis on "''good'' ones!", as if his actions would have been perfectly acceptable if they'd been terrible actors.
77** Not long after that:
78--->'''Frank:''' I was up in Ludwig's office last night.\
79'''Jane:''' Oh, how nice! Did he show you his collection of priceless Ming vases, and all those rare oil paintings?
80* When Frank goes to the warehouse to meet Ludwig:
81-->'''Thug:''' I got a message for you, from Vincent Ludwig! Take this, you son of a-- ''(shoots at Frank while shouting)''\
82'''Frank:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I'M SORRY, I CAN'T HEAR YOU! DON'T FIRE THE GUN WHILE YOU'RE TALKING!]]
83* Ed is checking people for weapons at the Queen's reception dinner. Frank helps out and frisks a guy while Ed holds him. Frank unknowingly reaches into Ed's pockets instead of the guy's, producing a gun, making him think the man is armed and dangerous, as well as...
84-->'''Frank:''' Ed, he's got a picture of your wife!\
85'''Ed:''' Ethel! [[MegatonPunch *POW!*]]\
86'''Frank:''' All right, anyone else here seeing his wife?\
87'''Ed:''' Uh, that's all right, Frank...
88* A brief deleted bit of dialogue between Ludwig and Frank at the dinner party:
89-->'''Ludwig:''' I make ''one phone call'', and you're off the force.\
90'''Frank:''' Go ahead. I'll make ''two'' phone calls and get back ON the force.
91* Frank thinks Jane was hired by Ludwig to set him up with one of Ludwig's assassins at the warehouse and dumps her:
92-->'''Drebin:''' Oh, and by the way... I faked every orgasm!
93** Frank trying to give back a garter he thought belonged to Jane.
94* When Frank approachss Jane and Ludwig at the banquet and they express surprise.
95--> '''Ludwig:''' Drebin!
96--> '''Jane:''' Frank:
97--> '''Frank Drebin:''' You're ''both'' right.
98* Frank mistaking a vintage Revolutionary War musket as an assassination weapon and tackling the queen, sliding down a ''reaaaaaallly'' long table and landing on the front page with a picture of her legs wrapped around him.
99* Every newspaper that Ed sifts through showing Frank's compromising position with the Queen somehow has them in different positions in every picture.
100* Frank cleaning out his desk.
101-->'''Frank:''' Hey! The missing evidence in [[NoodleIncident the Kelner case!]] My God, he really ''was'' innocent!\
102'''Ed:''' [[AcquittedTooLate He went to the chair two years ago, Frank.]]\
103'''Frank:''' Well, uh... ''[[[HideTheEvidence quickly shoves the evidence back into the file cabinet]]]''
104** In a deleted scene, Frank briefly goes into a fit and [[TakeThisJobAndShoveIt trashes his desk]], including scratching it repeatedly. Al approaches:
105--->'''Frank:''' ''(annoyed)'' What is it, Al?!\
106'''Al:''' That's ''my'' desk. You're over there.
107* Frank's about to leave the force, but not without delivering this gem perfectly:
108-->'''Frank:''' Just think; the next time I shoot someone, I could be arrested.
109* Frank -- impersonating Enrico Pallazzo -- utterly mangles the National Anthem: ''"Whose bright stripes and broad stars... through the perilous... night... o'er the ramparts we watched... (gibberish)"''. Made even funnier by the fact that the real Pallazzo is forced to watch it on TV as he's tied up in the locker room.
110** And the look on the mayor's face once she realizes just ''who'' is singing is simply priceless.
111** If you take the time to listen to the background music during the anthem, you will notice that '''it is matching Frank's off-key singing.'''
112** Thanks to Music/ChristinaAguilera's Super Bowl XLV performance - and many other events before it - this scene has become HilariousInHindsight.
113** The cops coming to arrest him being slowed down by having to stand at attention because after all, the National Anthem is being performed, even though it's being butchered.
114* The baseball bloopers which featured a player getting mauled by a tiger and another run over by a car.
115** And another somehow [[EpicFail decapitating]] ''[[EpicFail himself]]''.
116*** One of the sports announcers - Dick Enberg - is wide-eyed and shakes his head in disbelief, as Mel Allen sits alongside laughing, and saying his legendary catchphrase, "How about that?!".
117** Also introducing the ''very'' large announcing crew for the current game including legendary basketball announcer Dick Vitale, and ending with [[TheCameo Dr. Joyce Brothers]].
118* Frank switching clothes with an umpire, [[NotWhatItLooksLike and a janitor walks in during]]:
119-->'''Janitor:''' Whoops! Sorry, fellas. ''(backs out)''
120* Frank, while disguised as the umpire, steals the show. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-S-eeInJVk See for yourself.]]
121** Special mention is when he calls "Strike 3" ''before'' the ball even hits the glove.
122* Even the Queen of England is expected to pass food and drinks down the row at the game.
123* Frank trying to prevent the assassination plot (which is to take place during the 7th inning stretch) by actively interfering with the game, to the point that him and another umpire basically trap one of the players in a run down, and finally tries to stall by declaring an obviously out runner safe, which causes another umpire to start kicking dirt on him, much the same way a manager would.
124* When Frank sees the assassin pull a gun from under the second base bag, he pulls his own service revolver...which causes the screaming umps, players, and managers to concede that maybe the player was safe.
125* "Hey! It's Enrico Pallazzo!!"
126* When Ludwig takes Jane hostage during the climax, Frank responds by taking a random bystander hostage as well.
127-->'''Frank:''' Two can play at that game!
128* Ludwig dies by falling off the upper deck of the baseball stadium, getting hit by a bus, [[SquashedFlat smushed by a steamroller]], and [[HumiliationConga finally trampled]] by a marching band playing "Louie, Louie".
129-->'''Ed:''' Oh, Frank! It's horrible. It's ''so horrible!''\
130'''Frank:''' I know, Ed...\
131'''Ed:''' My father went the same way...
132* A Crowning Moment of Heartwarming which became a Crowning Moment Of Ridiculous:
133-->'''Frank:''' The problems of two little people don't amount to a hill of beans, [[{{Metaphorgotten}} but this is our hill and these are our beans.]]
134* The very last joke of the movie, after Frank's pat on the back to wheelchair-bound Nordberg inadvertently sends him rolling down the stairs:
135-->'''Jane:''' Oh Frank, everyone should have a friend like you.\
136''(Nordberg hits the guard rail and is flung out of the wheelchair while screaming)''
137[[/folder]]
138
139[[folder:The Naked Gun 2½ - The Smell Of Fear]]
140* The opening scene, where Frank causes all sorts of unintended mayhem while trying to eat dinner at the White House. Of particular note is him twisting a lobster so that the lobster keeps inching closer to Commissioner Brumford. Then the lobster's claw pinches the Commissioner's breast. Finally, he breaks a claw apart and accidentally punches Barbara Bush in the face. Another funny moment has him try to squeeze some lemon juice onto his lobster, only for the lemon to fly out of his hand and land in Winnie Mandela's turban. She doesn't react at all, [[TheComicallySerious which is funny enough by itself]], but if you look close, you can see the actress trying very hard not to bust a gut.
141* The intro sequence. The police car goes through more wacky locations...including a woman's ''birth canal'', exiting into a delivery room.
142* Jane and Dr. Meinheimer's scene at the beginning, especially Jane forgetting what they were talking about seconds ago ("You just can't forget him, can you?" "Who?" "...Frank.") and what follows:
143--> '''Jane''': I try. It's just that... when you've had that much man... but then, you wouldn't understand.\
144''(Dr. Meinheimer gives an uncomfortable look, implying he ''does'' understand)''
145* The bomb scene.
146-->'''Janitor:''' Hey, Al, Ken! Look at this! I found it in the wastebasket.\
147''(he pulls out [[IncrediblyObviousBomb some dynamite with a ticking timer on it]])''\
148'''Al:''' Hey, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint that's a pretty nice clock! I wonder why they threw it out.]]\
149'''Ken:''' [[FailedASpotCheck It's probably because it's four minutes too slow]]. [[TooDumbToLive Here, lemme fix it.]]\
150''(he sets the "clock" to 12)''\
151'''Ken:''' [[IdiotBall There.]]\
152''(BOOM)''
153** After the explosion, bodies are all over the building, complete with {{Chalk Outline}}s. Including one on the ''elevator door''. Other chalk outlines include a figure as seen in ancient Egyptian murals and a stick figure doodle.
154** Frank's InnerMonologue, upon seeing Jane for the first time in two years:
155--->'''Frank''': I couldn't believe it was her. It was like a dream. But there she was, just like I remembered her. That delicately beautiful face... and a body that could melt a cheese sandwich from across the room. And breasts that seem to say, "Hey, look at these!" She made you drop to your knees and thank God that you were a man. Yeah... she reminded me of my mother all right. No doubt about it.\
156'''Ed''': Frank, snap out of it. You're looking at her like she was your mother, for Christ's sakes.
157** "Well, I'd like to be more optimistic, but we have a long road ahead of us. It's like having sex. It's an arduous, pain-staking task that goes on and on forever, and just when you think things are going your way... nothing happens."
158** The sketch artist who was taking Jane's deposition drew ''Jane'' instead. And he drew her in a very sexualized manner to boot.
159--->'''Frank:''' Uh, Ed? Why don't we get that ''other'' artist, you know, the one who never dates? Lives with those two guys?\
160'''Ed:''' Right. Sorenson! ''(flips the artist's notepad and sees a drawing of two Janes as Amazonian warriors engaged in battle, then flips again to reveal a drawing of Jane as a rat dominatrix putting the artist through BDSM)''
161* Frank is a little too literal minded:
162-->'''Jane:''' Yeah, you know, a white guy, with a mustache, about 6' 3".
163-->'''Frank:''' An awfully big mustache.
164* Frank's jealousy of Jane and Hapsburg.
165--> '''Frank:''' Well... that's great. I've been dating too, nice girl, an author. She wrote the book on male sexual dysfunction, you've probably read it.\
166'''Hapsburg:''' I beg your pardon?\
167'''Jane:''' Frank!\
168'''Frank:''' Oh it's alright, I'm sure that we can handle this situation maturely, just like the responsible adults that we are. Isn't that right, Mr. '''[[BigStupidDooDooHead Poopy]] [[HypocriticalHumor Pants?!]]'''\
169'''Hapsburg:''' That ''does it!''
170* This exchange from the bar scene.
171--> '''Frank:''' Give me the strongest thing you've got.\
172'''Waiter:''' ''(signals for bodybuilder, who approaches the table)''\
173'''Frank:''' On second thought, how about a black Russian?\
174'''Waiter:''' Right away, sir. ''(turns away, then looks at camera and shakes head)''
175* At the bar:
176-->'''Frank:''' Ed, is it just my imagination, or is the whole world crazy?\
177'''Ed:''' No, it's just a small percentage of the population, Frank.\
178''(a waiter turns around and walks away, revealing he's not wearing pants or underwear)''
179* Frank's rant about women to Ed, meant to compliment him, ends up depressing him instead:
180--> '''Frank''': You know, sometimes I think about you and Edna, that's when I envy you, because you have someone. You've been with the same person for over thirty years. You wake up with her, eat with her, sleep with her. Make love to the ''same woman''. ''(Ed starts to look morose)'' You spend ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis EVERY. POSSIBLE. WAKING. MOMENT. TOGETHER!]]'' While I'm out running around with some twenty-year-olds, always looking for a good time, and cheap sex, sex, sex, girls who can't say no. Girls who can't get enough: "MORE! MORE MORE! It's ''your'' turn now to wear the handcuffs..." ''(notices Ed is literally foaming at the mouth)''
181* Frank heads over to Jane's table, but his sense of direction is thrown off by having to dodge other patrons. He sits at a table...
182-->'''Frank:''' This is not easy for me to say. I'm lonely, I'm lost, I just need someone to hold, to love.\
183'''Jane:''' Frank.\
184(Frank looks over to see that Jane's at another table)\
185'''Jane:''' Over ''here''.\
186(Frank looks at the table he sat at, where a menacing burly guy is staring him down)\
187'''Frank:''' ...Well.
188* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iZW909WuB4 This scene:]]
189-->'''Jane:''' [[Film/{{Casablanca}} Sam, play our song, just one more time.]]\
190'''Sam:''' Of course. ''[Plays a major intro arpeggio, and then...''] [[Film/TheWizardOfOz DING DONG! The witch is dead! Which old witch? The wicked witch!"]]
191* Frank and Jane get into an argument. Twice he blocks her attempts to slap him in the face by grabbing her hands...then somehow a ''third'' hand slaps him, coming from between the two hands Frank has held onto. Frank is just as confused as the audience.
192-->'''Jane''': I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that.
193* This:
194-->'''Jane:''' Oh, Frank, we're no good together. You only live for your police work.\
195'''Frank:''' And ''you're'' always trying to save the end-zone layer.\
196'''Jane:''' ''Ozone'' layer. You never did understand.\
197'''Frank:''' How can you say that, [[NotHelpingYourCase when I bought 1,000 acres of Brazilian jungle, then had it slashed and burned]] so we could build our dream house?\
198'''Jane:''' ''(aghast)'' Frank! How could you be so insensitive?\
199'''Frank:''' "Insensitive"?! You think it's ''easy'' displacing an entire tribe? ''You'' try it sometime!
200* "I'm single! I love being single! I haven't had this much sex since I was a Boy Scout leader!" (the background piano music stops and everyone in the bar looks at him) "[[ThatCameOutWrong I mean, at the time I was dating a lot.]]"
201* Earl Hacker's goofy, nasally laugh when he reveals his true appearance.
202* Music/WeirdAlYankovic has a cameo as a thug holding up the police station ("Say your prayers!"). Frank unknowingly knocks the guy out when he opens the door.
203-->'''Ed:''' Nice work, Frank.\
204'''Frank:''' What?
205* [[ChainOfCorrections This discussion]]:
206-->'''Frank:''' Hector Savage. From Detroit. Ex-boxer. His real name was Joey Chicago.\
207'''Ed:''' Oh, yeah. He fought under the name of Kid Minneapolis.\
208'''Nordberg:''' I saw Kid Minneapolis fight once. In Cincinnati.\
209'''Frank:''' No you're thinking of Kid New York. He fought out of Philly.\
210'''Ed:''' He was killed in the ring in Houston. By Tex Colorado. You know, the Arizona Assassin.\
211'''Nordberg:''' Yeah, from Dakota. I don't remember it was North or South.\
212'''Frank:''' North. South Dakota was his brother. From West Virginia.\
213'''Ed Hocken:''' You sure know your boxing.\
214'''Frank:''' All I know is, never bet on the white guy.\
215''(Nordberg nods in agreement)''
216* When Frank and Ed find a tip that Hector Savage is at Monique [=DiCarlo=]'s shop on Bleckman Street:
217-->'''Frank:''' That's a red light district. I wonder why Savage is hanging around down there.\
218'''Ed:''' Sex, Frank?\
219'''Frank:''' Uh, no, not right now, Ed. We've got work to do.
220* In the red light district's sex shop:
221-->'''Frank:''' I'm Lt. Frank Drebin, and this is Captain Ed Hocken, Police Squad.\
222'''Monique De Carlo:''' Is this some kind of bust?\
223'''Frank:''' ''([[MaleGaze takes a look at her chest]])'' ...Well, it's very impressive, yes.
224** In the same scene, Ed starts up a device that looks to be a chainsaw. He quickly realizes that he's holding a vibrating dildo and puts it down.
225** And this exchange:
226--->'''Monique De Carlo:''' Why should I tell you, copper?\
227'''Frank:''' Because I'm the last line of defense between sleaze like this and the decent people of this town.\
228''[male assistant comes out of the back room.]''\
229'''Male assistant:''' [[HypocriticalHumor Oh hi, Frank.]] Say, we finally got that Model D83 Swedish sure-grip suck machine that you ordered!\
230'''Frank:''' ...[[IHaveThisFriend It's a gift]].
231* And of course, Nordberg trying to plant a tracking bug under Hector Savage's van, only for Savage to get in the van and take off with Nordberg still under it, before Nordberg even has a chance to attach the bug to the vehicle. Nordberg slides out from under the van, down a hill, and under Frank's car, throwing off his and Ed's pursuit of Savage--though luckily they end up catching him anyway--and Nordberg has all manner of nasty objects hit his groin as Ed unwittingly drives the car with him trapped under it. Ed stops suddenly when he and Frank find Savage taking refuge in a house, causing Nordberg to slide out from under the car and get stuck under a bus that's on its way to Detroit, poor Nordberg [[OhCrap screaming "Oh no!"]] as the bus leaves.
232-->'''Frank:''' ''(later, on the phone)'' Detroit? What's he doing there? Well, send him some plane fare and a new pair of pants!
233* Savage demanding a plane ticket to UsefulNotes/{{Jamaica}} as part of his ransom, "and a nice hotel! Nothing touristy! Something really indicative of the people and their culture!"
234* Commissioner Brumford yells at Frank for his actions during Savage's phony hostage situation, where he accidentally drove a tank through the wall of the city zoo and released all the animals therein.
235--> '''Brumford:''' ''(on the phone)'' He did what?... How many animals escaped?... Oh my god!\
236'''Frank:''' Good evening, Commissioner, you're looking lovely tonight.\
237'''Brumford:''' Do you realize that because of you, this city is being overrun by baboons?\
238'''Frank:''' Well, isn't that the fault of the voters? ''(the movie is set in Washington D.C.)''\
239''(the hired band plays a Rimshot while Brumford stands there, a look of angry shock fixed on her face)''
240** Doubles as FridgeBrilliance since the collective noun for a group of baboons is ''congress''.
241* Frank sees a guy dancing with Jane at the party; he asks "Mind if I cut in?" The guy agrees and, for some reason, shakes his fists in a way that says "Thank GOD" as he leaves the frame. Why was he so happy to be done dancing with Jane? No idea, but that's why it's so funny.
242** Especially since the guy that was dancing with Jane was Mel Torme.
243* Frank and Jane being replaced by [[ObviousStuntDouble stunt doubles doing elaborate dance moves]] when the camera cuts to Hapsburg at a distant table.
244* This exchange:
245-->'''Hapsburg:''' Look, lieutenant, I have nothing to hide.\
246'''Frank:''' Maybe so, but I'm warning you, Hapsburg: You so much as sneeze, and I'll be there to wipe your nose.
247* Jane's ''really'' deep fridge, with the door eventually shutting behind her while she's inside.
248* The large amount of animals in Jane's apartment. The scene starts normally, with Jane feeding the usual apartment pets (cats, dogs, birds)... then she feeds chickens and pigs. When Frank gets to her door, an ''elephant'' is heard in the background. All of the names we see on shots of the bowls rhyme with "Muffy".
249* Jane casually mentions that Dr. Meinheimer has a birthmark in the shape of Whistler's Mother on his right buttock. Frank is weirded out (and rightfully so -- [[NoodleIncident how did she find that out in the first place?]]).
250-->'''Frank:''' I see. Well...
251* Jane removes her high heels and instantly becomes a foot shorter. The shocked expression on Frank's face is amazing.
252* Hector Savage, being sent to kill Jane, ends up sings "The Way We Were" along with her as she's in the shower.
253* The "fight" between Frank and Savage in Jane's bathroom. First Savage takes an electric toothbrush, turns it on, and shoves it in Frank's mouth. Then Frank blows a hair dryer in Savage's face and Savage screams. Savage throws a towel at Frank's face and makes a run for it as Frank clutches at the towel and screams before ripping it off. Finally, Frank catches up to Savage and subdues him by shoving a fire hose in his mouth and turning on the water. When Savage is about to burst, Frank tries to turn off the water only to accidentally break off the valve. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere He then leaves him to his fate]] and [[CruelAndUnusualDeath we hear a loud, wet explosion outside of Jane's apartment]].
254* The nuclear power ad. It's a serene scene of a suburban family enjoying a barbecue... except there's a giant power plant in the background, and the family dog has ''two tails''.
255* Hapsburg introducing Frank to everybody:
256--> '''Hapsburg''': Of course, you know Dr. Meinheimer. And you've "met" Earl Hacker...\
257'''Earl''': ''(wearing neck brace and walking with a cane)'' Augh, you son of a... ow.\
258'''Hapsburg''': Now I'd like you to meet the Redmonds... [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment weekend guests from out of town.]]
259* This bit, after Frank is tied up by Hapsburg:
260-->'''Hapsburg:''' I want the pleasure of killing you myself.\
261'''Frank''': The pleasure is all ''mine''. ''(Hapsburg looks confused)''
262* When Frank and Dr. Meinheimer are tied up, Frank rubs his bonds on the metal edges of a shelf behind him to free himself. In the process, he accidentally causes various objects on the shelf to land on [[ButtMonkey Dr. Meinheimer's head]].
263* Ed is fed up Hapsburg's goons after seeing Meinheimer covered in oil and packing peanuts, and acting completely delirious (which was really Frank's accidental doing):
264-->'''Ed:''' I just can't take this anymore! ''(to a mook)'' Garbage like you just makes me sick! Okay? I'm just John Q. Public now, it's just you and me. ''(pulls out a badge and bra from his jacket)'' Mano a mano. I'll teach you to pick on a helpless invalid...\
265''(fight sounds are heard as Frank and Nordberg wince)''\
266'''Frank:''' All right, all right, he's had enough!\
267''(it's revealed that the mook beat up Ed)''\
268'''Frank:''' Somebody help the Captain. We've got to get to that Press Club dinner.\
269'''Man:''' ''(lifting Ed)'' Jeez, this guy's heavy...
270* When Ed reveals to the party guests that Police Squad has obtained a confession implicating the BigBad.
271-->'''Ed:''' And he's just given us a signed confession implicating ''that'' man!\
272''(Ed points to the audience, various men stand up, pull out a gun, and take a hostage)''\
273'''Ed:''' No, no! '''''That''''' man, Quentin Hapsburg.
274** As soon as Ed, Frank, and Nordberg leave, the men look embarrassed, release their hostages and sit down again.
275*** [[CorruptPolitician They are in Washington D.C. after all]]
276* When Hapsburg takes Jane hostage, Frank, Ed, and Nordberg attempt to come to her rescue, only to wind up sliding past the elevator the former two are in, thanks to a janitor mopping the floor.
277* During the ending shootout, Nordberg continues adding onto his gun, and as the scene goes on he continues making it bigger and bigger, up until the end, by which point it's ''a giant turret.''
278** From the same scene, Frank is in a deadly gunfight with one of the mooks, yet both he and the mook can’t hit each other from ''[[ATeamFiring five feet away]]''. Both empty their revolvers, and the fight only ends when Frank clobbers the mook by [[ThrowingYourGunAtTheEnemy throwing his empty gun at him]].
279* "All right. [[AlmostDeadGuy Who else is almost dead?]]" (wounded {{Mook}} meekly raises his hand)
280** And of course, what immediately follows:
281--->'''Frank:''' All right... ''(growls)'' TALK.\
282'''Mook:''' You're too late, Drebin.\
283'''Frank:''' He already said that.\
284'''Mook:''' Where did he leave off?\
285'''Frank:''' Uh, "Hapsburg has Plan B in..."\
286'''Mook:''' Oh yeah. Hapsburg has Plan B in... ''(chokes)'' in...\
287'''Frank:''' Where? WHERE?! ''(growls)'' TALK, you lowlife scum!\
288'''Mook:''' Gee, if ''that's'' your attitude, forget it! ''(dies)''
289* "The truth hurts, doesn't it, Hapsburg! Oh sure, maybe not as much as [[GroinAttack jumping onto a bicycle]] [[AssShove with the seat missing]], but it hurts!"
290** And before that: "You're part of a dying breed! Like people who can name all 50 states!"
291** Capped by Hapsburg's WTF?!? reaction.
292* Hapsburg offers Frank one last request before he's shot. The request? "Can I... have the gun?"
293-->'''Hapsburg:''' Oh no, I'm not falling for ''that'' one!
294* The BrickJoke regarding the zoo animals Frank released during the Savage situation continues throughout the film, ultimately leading to Hapsburg being killed by a lion just after he appears to escape flawlessly.
295* This bit of TakeThat, as President Bush praises Frank for his work:
296-->'''Bush:''' I'd like you to consider filling a special post I'm gonna create. It may mean long hours, dangerous nights, and being surrounded some of the ''scummiest'' elements in our society!\
297'''Frank:''' ''([[SincerityMode completely sincere]])'' ...You want me in your cabinet?
298* "Blowing away a fleeing suspect used to be everything to me. I enjoyed it -- well, who wouldn't?"
299[[/folder]]
300
301[[folder:The Naked Gun 33⅓ - The Final Insult]]
302* The [[FIlm/TheUntouchables "Untouchables"]] parody opening. The fight scene is hilariously over-the-top, and played totally straight in the Naked Gun style, with lots of little jokes thrown in everywhere. All the while, Ed struggles to pull out his gun and Nordberg references OJ Simpson's football career by trying to spike a baby after performing the Ickey Shuffle. And then come the army of [[GoingPostal disgruntled postal workers]]...
303** A meta example: the crew had to teach OJ, a football player, the Ickey Shuffle.
304* The intro, which takes the siren into a hockey game in the middle of a hockey fight, into a demolition derby, through a pinball machine, above Downtown Los Angeles where the car grazes the side of a skyscraper causing sparks to fly, down a slide at a water park, as well as a bobsled track too, and attacking the ''[[Franchise/StarWars Death Star]]'', among other places, before finally jumping into an enclosure in ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' and getting stepped on by a ''T. rex''. Which laughs a nasally laugh.
305* The return of the TV series' "Cigarette?" "Yes, I know." RunningGag.
306* Ed convinces Frank to take the case, even though he's retired:
307-->'''Nordberg:''' You'll be home in plenty of time for dinner.\
308'''Frank:''' I don't know... I'd have to make pork chops...\
309'''Ed:''' Frank, think of all the crime out there. Nobody is safe. You'd be protecting Jane; you'd be protecting all the Janes of the world! Besides, you haven't shot anybody in six months.\
310'''Frank:''' That's true. Funny how you miss the little things. Might be good to feel that cold, hard steel pressed against my thigh once again: The thrill of the chase, to be a ''[[ARealManIsAKiller man]]''!
311** And before that, Frank's settled into being a... well, house husband. Complete with the typical housewife mannerisms. He won't even listen to Ed until he has a bite of his fresh cupcakes.
312* [[https://youtu.be/nSH67svEYT8?si=5CFrSNpUjMVunR7s Frank going undercover]] by feigning a football injury to get intel on Tanya during her shift as a nurse. [[OneDialogueTwoConversations The problem is, he's in a fertility clinic.]]
313--> '''Nurse:''' When did you first notice the problem?\
314'''Frank:''' In the backyard with my uncle.\
315'''Nurse:''' ''(confused)'' In the backyard... with your uncle?\
316'''Frank:''' Yes, when he comes over, we like to go out in the backyard and throw it around for a while.\
317'''Nurse:''' And what did you and your uncle find out?\
318'''Frank:''' Oh, I can't keep up with him. Mine hurt, especially on the long ones. I can't seem to straighten it out. It has no feeling, it's kind of numb.\
319''(cut to the nurse looking quite bemused)''\
320'''Frank:''' I, uh, may have yanked it too much, maybe.
321* At the clinic, Frank jacks off to a porno to produce sperm samples for ''hours''. He finally emerges from the room with tons of jars filled with sperm, looking disheveled and with [[SmokingHotSex a cigarette dangling from his mouth.]]
322-->'''Frank:''' The tape was very entertaining.\
323'''Nurse:''' ''(weirded out)'' ...Follow me.
324** What pushes it into the stratosphere is the cavalcade of sound effects heard during his sessions, from stock grunts and glass breaking to ''[[BestialityIsDepraved a sheep bleating]].''
325* When Jane leaves, the radio in the house is heard:
326-->'''DJ:''' You're listening to KSAD: All depressing, all the time. And now here's a dedication to Frank from Jane, calling from a taxi: "Frank, you big, stupid, weasel weenie! It's bad enough you're shooting blanks, now you're leaving the door open, letting the heat out. Were you born in a barn, you stupid--?" ''(transition to next scene)''
327* Frank meets Rocco and his accomplice, [[ScaryBlackMan Tyrone]], in jail.
328-->'''Tyrone:''' Take it from me. This place changes a man.\
329'''Frank:''' Oh yeah, in what way? \
330'''Tyrone:''' I used to be white. ''[{{Beat}}]'' I was a drummer for The Osmonds. \
331'''Rocco:''' Screw with me, and he'll make you feel pain like you never felt before.\
332'''Frank:''' I know, I ''remember'' the Osmonds!
333* One of the prison guards, played by none other than R. Lee Ermey, discovers a note detailing Rocco's escape plan while he, Frank, and Tyrone are in the cafeteria. Frank tries to stop Ermey's character from reading the note, making Ermey bark in his trademark DrillSergeantNasty tone of voice: "Buzz off, Buttercheeks!"
334* Frank incites a prison riot by complaining about the food. He says that real slop has got ''chunks'' of things in it, and the Chateau Le Blanc '68 is supposed to be ''slightly'' chilled, not room temperature!
335* Jane is approached by a creep outside a bar:
336--> '''Guy''': How about a kiss?\
337'''Jane''': No!\
338'''Guy''': I know when a woman says "no", she really mean "yes". So how about that kiss?\
339'''Jane''': ...Yes!\
340'''Guy''': ''(offended)'' What do you mean "no"?! I know your type!
341** After the guy is hit by a semi, Jane's friend Louise repeatedly shakes her, which causes Jane's hair to radically change hairstyles every time she stops.
342*** Not only does the creeper guy get back up, but [[FunnyBackgroundEvent we also last see him and Louise driving off together]].
343* Frank and Rocco's rendezvous point once they tunnel their way out of prison turns out to be the yard of an LA high school, where everyone promptly pulls out guns and tries to shoot them to bits. Including two academic nerds and a jock.
344* When Frank first meets Rocco's mom, he narrates, "Rocco's mother was quiet. I sensed she didn't like me coming along." Immediately after, Rocco's mom gives Frank [[FlippingTheBird the finger]] through the rear view mirror. Then Frank narrates again, "Like a midget at a urinal, I would have to stay on my toes."
345** Earlier, in prison, he narrates "Like a blind man at an orgy, I was going to have to feel things through."
346* The camera panning up Tanya's legs for ''way'' longer than should be humanly possible, to the point that she seems to have two pairs of knees.
347* During Frank and Jane's split, Jane proceeds to go barhopping with a friend of hers. At one point she wanders out of a smoke-filled bar, barely holding back tears. When her friend follows her out and asks her what's wrong, she mournfully replies, "They're playing our song...". The song in question? ''99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall''.
348* Frank is trying to find someone to call for reinforcements, and works his way down a row of waiting cab-drivers, all of who babble at him in various foreign languages. The last cabbie is revealed to be a black guy wearing an African-themed outfit. Frank stares at him for a moment, says "Forget it." and runs off. The cabbie says, in a flawless British accent: "I wonder what the devil he wanted!"
349* The nominees listed for "Best Picture" at the Academy Awards are shown to be rather amusing, including:
350-->'''Olympia Dukakis:''' ...And for his tale of genetics gone haywire in a retirement community, Steven Spielberg, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ll7YzrGbM4 Geriatric Park.]]''
351** One of the films listed before that is ''Mother'', a musical about Mother Teresa. The clip presented shows Teresa [[CrossesTheLineTwice singing and dancing about how much she loves food while surrounded by starving children.]]
352* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFeviae_pfc entire]] "This Could Be the Start of Something Big" sequence. Of note is the moment when Frank slides through a bunch of dancers' legs, hitting every one of them in the crotch with his head. When he stands up and sees them all clutching their groins in pain, he does so too, thinking it's part of the choreography.
353** Director Peter Segal’s line in the commentary for this moment deserves mention as the rest of the participants laugh: “Oh, this one! BIG LAUGH, BABY! Right here! Surefire laugh… ''A CRACK TO THE JUEVOS!''”
354** Right after that, there's his reaction when he finds out Tanya [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} has a penis.]]
355*** The fact that the filmmakers got Creator/JamesEarlJones to say the words [[ARareSentence "Looks like Phil Donahue throwing up in a tuba."]]
356*** "Somebody make a note: I don't think we should have Phil Donahue back next year".
357* When Rocco finds out Frank is a traitor:
358--> '''Rocco''': Lousy two-bit copper punk! I treated him like my brother!... the one I didn't kill.
359* Rocco [[FiringInTheAirALot fires his gun in the air]] from the stage of the Oscars ceremony:
360-->'''Rocco:''' Freeze, and nobody gets hurt!\
361''[a grip falls from the rafters into the orchestra pit]''\
362'''Rocco:''' Well... from now on!
363* When Ed and his team enter the control room during the song-and-dance number that Frank infiltrated:
364--> '''Ed''': We're here to stop a disaster!\
365'''Director''': ''(distraught)'' You're too late for that.
366* When Jane realizes Frank is taking up police work again...
367--> '''Frank''': It's another woman, I swear!\
368'''Jane:''' In your wildest dreams!
369** This makes Jane angrily storm off to the bedroom and slam the door. Half a second later, she opens it again, already dressed and packed up, having already called a taxi and found a place to stay for the time being. Frank even lampshades that she might be [[{{Understatement}} acting a bit hasty in her decision making.]]
370* The iconic mass {{Facepalm}} scene. That is all.
371* Frank talks to Jane about their future together, including a white picket fence, a Frank Drebin Jr., and "that housekeeper you always wanted" - the housekeeper in question is ''Alice'' from ''Series/TheBradyBunch'' (reprised by Ann B. Davis, no less).
372* After the statement that one of the films nominated for Best Picture did poorly at the box office, Frank grabs the envelope and realizes it contains the explosive. He says "It's the bomb!"...causing the crew for [[BoxOfficeBomb said bomb film]], "Sawdust and Mildew", to rise to go onstage and the audience to cheer for them.
373* When she and Frank are sorting through the massive pile of award envelopes to find Rocco's bomb, Jane remarks that the Academy added 75 new categories since last year. Frank happens to pick up one envelope that says "Best Actor in a Columbus Movie". While it's a funny joke regardless of context it's even funnier if one remembers two years prior in 1992 when there was not one, or even two, but FOUR films about UsefulNotes/ChristopherColumbus to get a major release of some kind.[[note]] Although given 1992 was the 500th anniversary of Columbus' voyage it makes a bit of sense why there were so many of them [[/note]]
374* Earlier in the film, Jane (who desires to have a baby with Frank) is shown to have gotten a job as an attorney. During the trial where she is defending Louise, she notices that every woman in the room (including her rivaling attorney, the stenographer, and the women in the jury) has a baby in their arms. While Jane is making a statement, the judge's kid (slightly older than all the others) bangs her gavel. Then, when the judge calls for a recess, she accidentally uses her kid's squeaky toy gavel.
