Not sure about the CG. Makes the slapstick feel less slapstick-y.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Looking forward.
Liam Neason as Frank Drebin is some casting choice.

Unless that's some kind of dream sequence, even by Naked Gun logic I don't understand how that disguise is supposed to work?

We'll see.
I know it's going to be more modern and different and it might absolutely suck but who knows...
He did a great job in that one episode of Life's Too Short though.

I think that's why he's done this. Get some money before he succumbs to his full blown Aids

Because when I think comedy, I think Liam Neeson
The trailer at least is aware of the hurdle it has to climb. Seth McFarlane can go a lot of different ways but he's unafraid to mock the PC crowd so I have moderate hopes. We'll see when a real trailer comes out.
I feel like these zucker films really need that biting edge and Seth is one of the few that would do it. Hopefully he's enlisted Bill Burr, Tony Hinchcliff, and Andrew Schultz to really punch it up.

Leslie Nielsen wasn't really known for comedy before Airplane and even after it, he did more serious roles like in CreepshowBecause when I think comedy, I think Liam Neeson

I think Liam can pull it off.
I didn't care for the badass intro unless that's a dream sequence or day dream fantasy. The blood was a big turn off as well.
The OJ joke gave me some hope.
Edit:
Ok I forgot that the first scene in the original naked gun...frank beats up a bunch of terrorist.
Soooo minus the blood..it's on the right track.

The intro with the little girl was terrible.
The OJ joke was legit though
That's sort of the point.
Leslie Nielsen didn't come from a comedy background either.
And the whole idea behind the comedy is that everyone plays it straight, so he really works for this.

Feels off, but the memorial bit at the end got a chuckle out of me.

The Zuckers guys had clear rules, how they did those movies, that is why they worked. Only Hot Shots was able to reproduce the formula because they followed the same rules.
For example, if there is something funny going on in the background, the dialog must be serious, because else two jokes would cancel each other out.

Like some others I was mildly amused at the OJ joke but everything else...ehhh.

Yeah Neason's characters are usually rough as hell washed up cops/IRA guys/bodyguards and/or estranged husbands. Can't be as bad as Schwarzenegger though. Although he can come across goofy with the heavy accent in comedy roles.

I like Liam Neason and Naked Gun, and I got a chuckle from this. I'm absolutely in and just hoping it isn't a trainwreck.

Should've literally been called "The Naked Gun Reboot" or "Naked Gun: The Legacy Sequel" given its self-referential nature and the naming of the old sequels.
Watched Hot Shots 2 recently. ABSOLUTELY holds up but mainly because its 5-10 jokes/gags a minute, non stop. So even if the hit rate is 50% it's still 2 laughs a minute. Super topical humor though, I had to explain every third joke to my kids

Yeah man when I think of Naked Gun I think of Drebin stabbing and then slicing someone's neck open with a stick and blood squirting out and then he shows his boxers because he's wearing a skirt while he winks at the audience.
This is an insult to humor itself. It legit looks like an AI generated this.

Outside of the oj joke this fell absolutely flat for me. I just rewatched the first naked gun and this ain't it

I didn't realize he was Drebin's son, I thought it was just a straight up retelling.

Completely missed the point. Frank Drebin isn't a badass. He's a lucky idiot.
