The Naked Gun (2025) – Comedy Reboot Reloads with Action, Absurdity, and Laugh-Out-Loud Moments | Starring Liam Neeson

🚨 The Naked Gun Reloads in 2025 — And This Time, It’s Personal(ly Hilarious)!


Get ready for the goofiest badge to be flashed on the big screen again — because The Naked Gun is back! And this time, Liam Neeson is stepping into the trench coat of Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., bringing with him a "particular set of skills"... for outrageous slapstick and fearless parody.


Only in theatres August 1st, 2025, The Naked Gun returns with the same chaotic charm that made the original a cult classic — just with more explosions, ridiculous misunderstandings, and a cast of misfits guaranteed to make you laugh till you can’t breathe.


🎬 From ‘Police Squad!’ to Pop Culture Royalty


The Naked Gun franchise, born from the criminally short-lived 1982 TV gem Police Squad!, redefined the spoof genre. Created by the legendary trio Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker, the franchise aimed serious police procedurals and gave us a world where banana peels and political dignitaries share the same stage.


And at the heart of it all? The late, great Leslie Nielsen, who turned the clueless yet lovable Lt. Frank Drebin into an icon of absurdity. His poker-faced delivery of the most preposterous lines remains unmatched.


🕵️‍♂️ Meet the New Drebin: Liam Neeson


Yes, you read that right.


Liam Neeson — known for action-thrillers and brooding one-liners — is now donning the badge as Frank Drebin Jr., taking over the comedic mantle from his “father.” This unexpected casting twist is exactly the kind of bold (and hilarious) move the Naked Gun universe thrives on.


Directed by Akiva Schaffer (SNL, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping) and produced by Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, Ted), the new film promises a wild collision of slapstick, satire, and star power.


🧨 New Cast, Same Mayhem


Joining Neeson in this rebooted absurd adventure are a mix of eccentric and iconic personalities:


  • Pamela Anderson

  • Paul Walter Hauser

  • CCH Pounder

  • Kevin Durand

  • Cody Rhodes (yes, the wrestling star!)

  • Liza Koshy

  • Eddie Yu

  • Danny Huston


Expect gags, disguises, and enough visual chaos to make your popcorn spill.


📺 A Legacy of Laughter


If you’re new to the franchise, here’s a quick refresher:


🔹 TV Origins: Police Squad! (1982)


Cancelled after just 6 episodes, this was the spark that ignited the fire. Today, it’s a cult classic and considered “cancelled too soon” royalty.


🔹 Film Hits:

  • The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988)

  • The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991)

  • Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994)


These movies combined deadpan delivery, physical comedy, and timeless one-liners into a franchise that’s still quoted today.


🕶 Why You Can’t Miss the 2025 Return


  • Neeson like you’ve never seen him before — fully unhinged and fully committed to comedy.

  • A fresh take for new fans, with nostalgic nods for the OG audience.

  • Seth MacFarlane's comedic fingerprints promise an edgy, contemporary flavor.

  • Visual gags, one-liners, and screwball plot twists — cranked to 11.


🎟 Save the Date: August 1, 2025


The Naked Gun (2025) isn’t just a reboot — it’s a reintroduction of unapologetic parody to a generation that desperately needs a break from seriousness.


Get ready to report for duty — and disorder.Because when the Drebins are on the case, nothing is safe. Not even the punchlines.
