The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!
When a vacation‑ing police lieutenant discovers a secret summit of the world’s most notorious dictators plotting a massive terror attack, he races against time to thwart their scheme, expose a deadly heroin ring, and protect a visiting queen—all before his own department clears him for murder.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 82+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 13× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
