"Prepare for a fresh dose of comedy absurdity" Revamped "The Naked Gun" graces our screens
Gun Again: Another Round of Naked Shenanigans
Get ready to laugh out loud once more, as the iconic slapstick comedy series "The Naked Gun" is making a well-timed return! While beloved star Leslie Nielsen is no longer with us, Liam Neeson takes on the chaotic cop role of Frank Drebin Jr. in this modern reboot.
Many were initially uncertain about Neeson's casting, but the action-thriller legend demonstrated his undeniable comedic chops in the newly unveiled trailer. Neeson's portrayal of Frank Drebin Jr. is nothing short of pandemonium, causing mayhem and chaos in true Drebin style.
In a nod to the original series, Frank Drebin Jr. makes a flashy entrance in a deadly revealing schoolgirl outfit, reminiscent of a teaser released in early April of this year. The new trailer takes things up a notch, as Neeson even engages in a brutal action sequence that would be at home in the "Taken" movies— ripping off an adversary's arm and using it as a devastating weapon, declaring "Man, that was a wild ride."
Adding to the mix is Pamela Anderson's return to the franchise. Fans will quickly recognize a scene between her and Neeson that bears striking resemblance to the oven-cleaning scene from the "Austin Powers" series.
Comedy fans eager for a glimpse of what's in store can look forward to catching "The Naked Gun" reboot in theaters on August 1st.
With Akiva Schaffer at the helm as director, and Seth MacFarlane serving as producer, the film boasts a talented team of comedic masterminds. The ensemble cast also includes Paul Walter Hauser, Cody Rhodes, CCH Pounder, Danny Huston, Kevin Durand, and Liza Koshy.
After a three-decade hiatus, it will be fascinating to see how this revival fares among fans of the original series.
Fun fact: The original film "The Naked Gun" was first released in 1988, and starred Priscilla Presley, Elvis Presley's widow. The series continued with two sequels, "The Naked Gun 2 1/2" (1991) and "The Naked Gun 33 1/3" (1994).
