The Naked Gun

The climax erupts at the New Year’s MMA‑style showdown, where Richard Cane finally flips the P.L.O.T. Device on the stadium crowd. The pulse turns the audience into primal, fighting beasts, but Frank Drebin Jr. is prepared: he has fitted his ears with a blocker that shields him from the sonic assault. As chaos swirls, an owl— the symbolic sign Frank asked from his late father—soars in, swoops down on Cane and even drops a literal “gift” that forces the villain to pause.

With the crowd still howling, Frank corners Cane. Beth, driven by vengeance for her brother Simon, arrives with a gun, but Frank convinces her to let the justice system take over rather than exact personal revenge. He cuffs Cane, and together they reverse the device’s settings, restoring the signal to its intended calming frequency. The savage frenzy dissolves, the audience regains composure, and the immediate threat to humanity is averted.

In the aftermath, Frank and Beth embrace both professionally and romantically, hinting at a future partnership. Although Chief Davis announces that Frank will be investigated by Internal Affairs for his unorthodox methods, the film cuts to a lighthearted resort scene where the two relax together, jokingly naming the getaway “Internal Affairs.” A brief mid‑credits gag breaks the fourth wall, and the final credits roll over a lone Weird Al Yankovic performing in an empty bunker— the one originally booked for Cane’s post‑apocalypse party—underscoring that the mastermind’s plans have been thoroughly dismantled.
