Leslie Nielsen is back as Lt. Frank Drebin and so are writer/producer/directors Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker. This sequel didn't seem as funny as the first, but it's hard not to find Nielsen's deadly serious though thoroughly incompetent police detective hilarious. Peter Sellars did the same thing with Inspector Clouseau, but riffing on jewel heist films instead of Dragnet police procedurals. The plot, not that it really matters, revolves around Drebin's ex-girlfriend Priscilla Presley's new boyfriend Robert Goulet's plot to kidnap a scientist as part of an energy scheme. Nothing brilliant, but you'll chuckle.
