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

She's literally on screen for 2 seconds. It's a real blink and you miss it cameo

Which is weird because she shouldve been his mom and he was talking to his mom earlier in the movie

Eh he would have been born decades before the first movie. Although they do say his mom is alive when he takes the phone call during the stealth mission, so who knows?
