What happens

Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult is a 1994 American crime comedy film directed by Peter Segal (in his directorial debut) and written by Pat Proft, David Zucker and Robert LoCash. The film is the third installment in the Naked Gun film series, which was based on the television series, Police Squad! It is the sequel to The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) and The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991). The Final Insult is the first film in the series that is not directed by David Zucker, with him serving as producer and co-writer instead. Police Squad! co-creators Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker returned as executive producers. The "33⅓" in the title is a reference to the number of rotations per minute at which phonograph records play. Leslie Nielsen returns as Lieutenant Frank Drebin (his original character from Police Squad!), along with Priscilla Presley as Jane Spencer Drebin, O. J. Simpson (in his last feature film before his arrest on murder charges three months later) as Officer Nordberg, and George Kennedy as Captain Ed Hocken. Newcomers to the series Fred Ward, Anna Nicole Smith, and Kathleen Freeman co-star as a gang of bombers set to blow up the Academy Awards ceremony. Raye Birk reprises his role as Pahpshmir from The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! This was the last Naked Gun film to have any involvement by Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker before Abrahams' death in 2024. A fourth Naked Gun film, The Naked Gun, starring Liam Neeson as Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr., was released in 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
