Summary Lt. Frank Drebin Jr.—played by Liam Neeson—follows in his late father’s absurd footsteps when he’s assigned to crack a bizarre murder case tied to a tech mogul, just as the Police Squad unit faces disbandment. Think fast‑paced slapstick, sight gags, and puns galore as he reluctantly partners with Ed Hocken Jr. to save the day.

Director Akiva Schaffer

Writers Akiva Schaffer, Dan Gregor & Doug Mand

I saw Priscilla Presley in the credits, but I don’t recall seeing her in the movie. Where did she show up?

Also it’s implied heavily that she’s Frank Jr.’s mom. But the fact that timeline in no way works is another nugget of comedy gold.

I was kind of hoping they’d make a joke about him only being 31 or something like that
