The Naked Gun review: a film firing laughs on all cylinders
The Naked Gun Score Details 'The Naked Gun is a machine gun unloading barrels of laughs every second thanks to impeccable writing and comedic performances.' Pros Great comedic performances from Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson Clever, laugh-out-loud moments It follows the Naked Gun formula 'Why you can trust Digital Trends – We have a 20-year history of testing, reviewing, and rating products, services and apps to help you make a sound buying decision. Find out more about how we test and score products.' Justice has found a funny new face in Liam Neeson's comedy film, The Naked Gun. Directed by the Lonely Island's Akiva Schaffer and produced by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, this reboot puts Neeson in the role of Frank Drebin Jr., a Police Squad lieutenant and the son of Leslie Nielsen's iconic character from the original Naked Gun movies. Recommended Videos The Naked Gun has some huge shoes to fill after the revolutionary first film from Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker. Even with two prestigious comedy names behind the film, this Naked Gun reboot could've been a hit or miss. Fortunately, Schaffer and MacFarlane's film honors the franchise's significant legacy while confidently establishing its own identity through its hilarious humor and strong performances. A familiar but unique story Just as the film brought the Naked Gun franchise back from the dead, this meta-comedy reboot sees Frank Drebin Jr. try to solve a murder that threatens to put an end to Police Squad once and for all. Frank uncovers the world-ending plot orchestrated by tech mogul billionaire Richard Cane (Danny Huston), who frames him for a murder. To catch up with the times, this reboot modernizes the Naked Gun narrative with references to self-driving electric cars, online pop-up ads, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Sex and the City. However, the movie still features several familiar quirks and characters of the Naked Gun franchise that should satisfy long-time fans. These include the hard-boiled detective doing comedic voice-overs, the attractive and ditzy femme fatale, and the evil, wealthy genius trying to turn innocent people into murderers. While the movie features several franchise tropes, The Naked Gun doesn't try to be a carbon copy of the original. In fact, this reboot instantly shows its self-awareness as Frank expresses his desire to be like his dad but different. The villain's goal for recreating the human race can even be interpreted as a metaphor for wanting to go back to the good old days with men like Frank and his father at the forefront. Comedy's next big stars are here Frank Drebin Jr. truly is his father's son. Neeson has already shown potential as a comedic actor many times with his appearances in Family Guy, Ted 2, and A Million Ways to Die in the West. However, The Naked Gun proved that he was the only one worthy of inheriting the name of Frank Drebin from Leslie Nielsen. As Drebin Jr., Neeson brings out plenty of laughs with his buffoonish antics, deadpan joke delivery, and impeccable comedic timing. Neeson's performance is on par with Nielsen's work. Neeson adds a unique layer to his character by satirizing his own angry action hero persona with ultraviolent fight scenes and a revenge-fueled monologue. It's a breath of fresh air for his acting career that may even pave the way for more comedic roles. At the same time, Pamela Anderson invokes the spirit of her predecessor, Priscilla Presley, with her new character, Beth Davenport. Her chemistry with Neeson is electric, and her straight-faced delivery makes her an equally hilarious presence, especially with her ridiculous jazz performance. An onslaught of creative comedy Like the original film, The Naked Gun is a machine gun firing barrels of laughs every second. Given how MacFarlane has paid brilliant homage to The Naked Gun franchise numerous times on Family Guy, it's no surprise that he was able to get its brand of humor right for the new film. As a modern reboot, The Naked Gun adds some social commentary with its jokes about Police Squad's problematic actions — Frank not wanting to use body cams and him having shot at very few white criminals. However, the film never gets heavy-handed with pushing a progressive narrative. Its clear priority is to be as silly and hilarious as possible, and it succeeds. 2025's The Naked Gun features all the wacky ridiculousness that one can expect from the franchise. One can see Schaffer drawing from his experiences with the Lonely Island with these cartoonish, over-the-top moments. Most notably, Schaffer's film shows Frank disguising himself as a little schoolgirl to take down a gang of bank robbers and him and Beth having a threesome with a Satanic snowman. Also, in MacFarlane's own fashion, The Naked Gun takes everyday chats and foibles and turns them into comedy gold, from Frank declaring his love for the Black Eyed Peas to him mourning the loss of his Buffy episodes on TiVo. There are even some traces of Austin Powers in the film's comedic DNA, specifically with that supposedly sexual thermal vision scene. The movie even executes a hysterical parody of another classic spy movie, Mission: Impossible — Fallout, with its layered, fake hospital scene. Is The Naked Gun worth a watch? To be frank, yes. This Naked Gun movie may not be as good as the original, but it is still pretty damn good. The movie revives Naked Gun's distinctive brand of humor with its blend of clever wordplay and slapstick gags, bringing plenty of wit and wackiness to the story. While there are several different comedic styles at play, The Naked Gun blends them together to create an outrageous comedy extravaganza. Not only does this movie revive the Naked Gun franchise, but it also reignites hope for parody films and shows as a whole. Spoofs like The Naked Gun prove the genre can still succeed today and deliver great laughs when done right. And with it joining the ranks of History of the World: Part II and the upcoming Spaceballs sequel, The Naked Gun seems part of a much-welcome parody genre revival. The Naked Gun is now playing in theaters.

Krasinski produced but handed over the reins to filmmaker Michael Sarnoski. In total, the three films have grossed over $892 million.

‘The Naked Gun': What Happens In End-Credits And Post-Credits Scenes?
Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson's The Naked Gun has end-credits and post-credits scenes that you may want to stick around for, especially if you're a fan of the original Naked Gun movies and Police Squad! TV series. Directed by Akiva Schaffer (Saturday Night Live) and produced by Seth McFarlane, The Naked Gun opens in theaters nationwide on Friday. In the film, Police Squad Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. (Neeson) follows in the bumbling footsteps of his late father, Lt. Frank Drebin Sr. (Nielsen). Nielsen, of course, originated the role of Drebin in Police Squad!, which had a six-episode run on ABC-TV in 1982. After that, Drebin's character leaped to the big screen with The Naked Gun: From The Files of Police Squad! in 1988, followed by the sequels The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear in 1991 and The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult in 1994. The new version of The Naked Gun continues the same comedic pattern as Police Squad! and the original Naked Gun trilogy with plenty of sight gags, slapstick and base humor. Anderson stars as Beth Davenport opposite Neeson's Frank Jr. in The Naked Gun, as the pair attempt to bring down tech billionaire Richard Cane (Danny Huston) for murdering Beth's brother to obtain a computer device for nefarious intentions. Rated PG-13, The Naked Gun also stars Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy and Eddie Yu. Note: The next section reveals spoilers of what happens during the end-credits and post-credits scenes for "The Naked Gun." The End Credits For 'The Naked Gun' First Recall A 'Police Squad!' Gag Generally, end-credits and/or post-credits scenes either wrap up loose ends from earlier in a film or signal the potential for a sequel. As such, the post-credits scene alludes to a scene earlier in The Naked Gun, but the end credits scenes don't necessarily indicate that another movie is on the way. That doesn't mean a sequel won't happen. It's just like any other movie, The Naked Gun's future depends on the film's reception at the box office. The first end credits scene gives a big nod to the end credits of the Police Squad! series, which mocked freeze-frame endings of sitcoms at the time. The only thing is, the frame didn't freeze during the end credits, and instead Nielsen and his co-stars would remain still in their poses for the duration. The end credits for the new Naked Gun begin with a shot from the newly reopened Police Squad headquarters, which was shut down by the city's mayor due to Frank Drebin Jr.'s wreckless actions. However, thanks to Drebin's heroic actions, Frank Jr.'s boss, Chief Davis (CCH Pounder), announces at a press conference that Police Squad's office headquarters is reopening. While speaking, Chief Davis told reporters Drebin would be held accountable for all of the crimes he committed while pursuing Richard Cane and that he was undergoing an Internal Affairs investigation. The scene then cuts to an Internal Affairs gathering, which is essentially one big party set at a tropical resort. While Frank Jr. and Beth are conversing, the film goes into freeze-frame mode, a la Police Squad! and the two hold their poses. However, when they take notice of their strange surroundings, Frank Jr. and Beth unfreeze and start to examine the frozen characters and the environment they're stuck in. The scene ends with Frank Jr. and Beth breaking the fourth wall and starting to talk to the audience, with Frank Jr. eventually attempting to poke his way through the big screen. The second end-credits scene is not really a scene, but more of an homage to the opening of Nielsen's Police Squad! series and Naked Gun movies. Each of them began with a shot from the viewpoint of the top of a police squad and a single flashing emergency light as the car drives around the city. The scene ends in front of a doughnut shop, which, of course, alludes to the cliché that all police officers have an affinity for doughnuts. Following the second end-credits scene, the credits continue to roll as we hear Neeson singing a racy song ballad, 'My Sweet Beth,' which was written by director Akiva Schaffer and songwriter Greg Chun (Don't be surprised if Paramount Pictures submits the tune for Best Original Song consideration during awards season). The post-credits scene wraps up a scene from earlier in the film, where 'Weird Al' Yankovic appeared in a promotion for a 'Doomsday' party that was meant to take place once Richard Cane exacted his plans for himself and a group of fellow billionaires to start a new version of society. The post-credits scene shows Yankovic — who played himself in cameos for the first three Naked Gun movies — playing in front of a bunch of empty chairs at a celebration meant for the billionaires before Cane's plans went off the rails. The Naked Gun opens Friday in theaters nationwide.
