The Naked Gun Returns: Liam Neeson Leads the Absurdity in 2025! đŸ”«đŸ˜‚

The single most important Naked Gun movie since the other Naked Gun movies.


Yes, you read that right! The legendary spoof comedy franchise is making a comeback, and this time, Liam Neeson is taking over as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., stepping into the chaotic, crime-fighting shoes of his father in The Naked Gun (2025).


Directed by Akiva Schaffer (Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping) and produced by Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, Ted), this reboot-sequel promises to deliver the same ridiculous, over-the-top slapstick humor that made the original trilogy iconic.


đŸš”đŸ’„ The Naked Gun is set to hit theaters on August 1, 2025!


What We Know About The Naked Gun (2025) So Far


🔍 Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. – Yes, the same guy who has a very particular set of skills is now leading Police Squad! Expect deadpan humor, outrageous action sequences, and Neeson completely committing to the absurdity.


🎭 An All-Star Cast of Comedy and Action – Joining Neeson are:

  • Pamela Anderson as Beth

  • Paul Walter Hauser (Black Bird, Cobra Kai) as Capt. Ed Hocken Jr.

  • Kevin Durand (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Lost)

  • Danny Huston (Yellowstone, Wonder Woman)

  • Liza Koshy (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts)

  • Cody Rhodes (WWE Superstar)

  • CCH Pounder (Avatar)

  • Busta Rhymes (Yes, that Busta Rhymes)


😂 Classic Absurdist Humor Returns – The original Naked Gun films, based on the cult-favorite TV series Police Squad!, were packed with sight gags, slapstick, and ridiculous one-liners—and this new film promises more of the same!


🎬 From the Minds of Comedy Legends – With Akiva Schaffer directing and Seth MacFarlane producing, expect a modern take on the classic formula that pays homage to Leslie Nielsen’s legendary performance while bringing fresh, outrageous comedy to a new generation.


The Legacy of The Naked Gun


The original Naked Gun trilogy (starring the legendary Leslie Nielsen) is widely regarded as one of the greatest spoof comedy franchises ever. From ridiculous police chases to accidental heroics, the films mastered the art of deadpan absurdity, inspiring modern comedies like Austin Powers, Scary Movie, and Deadpool.


Can Liam Neeson live up to Nielsen's comedic brilliance? If his self-aware performances in Ted 2 and A Million Ways to Die in the West are any indication, he’s got the chops to pull it off—and watching him navigate hilarious chaos while keeping a straight face is going to be a treat.


Why You Should Be Excited!


✅ Liam Neeson embracing full comedy mode

✅ A new take on classic slapstick humor

✅ Seth MacFarlane’s comedic genius behind the scenes
