The Naked Gun

**Review: The Naked Gun (2025) – A Goofball Reboot That Delivers Laughs, But Lacks the Original's Bite** Director Akiva Schaffer’s The Naked Gun (2025) revives the iconic spoof franchise with Liam Neeson stepping into the oversized shoes of Frank Drebin Jr., son of Leslie Nielsen’s legendary bum...

That trailer with the little girl going into the bank left me dreading this. I thought it was going to be terrible, but it isn’t. It is very much a respectful homage to all things “Airplane” and “Naked Gun” from years gone by and Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson have entered into the spirit of this ...
