Back in 1988, Leslie Nielsen gave a true masterclass in how to turn the macho men of the ’80s into hilarious, cartoonish, yet still unshakably cool parodies — ones that many viewers ended up loving even more than the action films starring Mel Gibson himself. In 2024, it was announced that Paramount was rebooting The Naked Gun franchise — this time with Liam Neeson in the lead role. Perhaps he was chosen partly because his name sounds so similar to Nielsen’s.
The trailer surprised many fans, as it revealed that Neeson’s character is actually the son of Frank Drebin, the original film’s protagonist. The new story takes place in the same universe, adding a nostalgic twist. The film was recently released worldwide, and many viewers were pleased with its light-hearted tone, nostalgic vibe, and of course, its comedy.
The duo of Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson quickly became one of Hollywood’s most charming pairings this year — after all, what could be better than watching the chemistry between two legendary actors?
As for the film’s villain? He’s out to take down electric cars — a plot point that’s absurd enough to make audiences laugh, especially with its cheeky nod to our current reality.
So, run to the cinema and watch The Naked Gun — it just might make your day a little bit brighter!
