Naked Gun Trailer - August 1st.

Zucker not consulted

Did not like the trailer

Will not be watching


Also he sent in a draft for a new Naked Gun movie and never heard back from the studio
This man is a genius and is responsible for the funniest movie ever made which would be Airplane!
 
directed by thelonelyisland guy (the one that's rarely on screen) so i don't think it'll be bad.

also

My favorite Liam role, this and he did one as a mortician i believe on Amy Schumers old show, where they'd bring in bodies and he then would mock the way they died as not manly enough and then say "Get out"
Found it

I love the idea of Liam Neeson doing a goofy comedy. It doesn't look like a ZAZ movie though, so the Naked Gun license feels irrelevant. Can still be good anyway.

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

Looks okay.

I like that this isn't a reboot but a continuation with Neeson playing Frank Drebin jr.

Might be good. I get Naked Gun vibes from the trailer at least.
 
I think I know why they picked him. He has a good 'cop voice' and he can speak comedic lines while carrying a straight face.
That's part of what made the first so good.

But, Leslie Nielsen was a master and the cast ensemble was pretty big, too. I bet we will see more of the same, but with people who are insufferable. We'll see. I am not expecting anything great, but I would like it to shit on my expectation. If possible.
 



I can't believe I laughed at the "20 years for mans laughter" joke.

There are good jokes and gags in this trailer but Neeson misses the timing on almost every one of them. This guy is the anti-comedian.

He is definitely no Leslie Nielson, but he might be able to pull it off.
 
In a few years this is going to be like the remakes of Total Recall/Robocop/Conan, you will be scanning a streaming app, see the title, have hope in your heart you have found something to watch and its going to be this 😢
 
I think Liam Neeson can deliver the right deadpan for this movie. I think it will be a streamer for me.
 
A few laughs in there but the whole "your ass" thing still falls incredibly flat. I'm in no rush to see it.

I ahhhhhh...the teaser with the bank robbery segment is truly unfunny and looks like shit to boot.

Naked Gun is one of my favorite movies of all time and I do think he'd have potential in this role but yea, no faith in this. Those Zucker movies and the show were like 800 jokes per minute.
 
I get the feeling they're using those Liam Neeson action films that he's known for the last decade or so as the foundation instead of the detective crime dramas that the original Naked Gun used.

A risky gamble, as those flicks sort of dropped off the radar quite a while ago.

Liam is playing it like post Naked Gun comedic Leslie Nielsen, and not the surprisingly funny straight man capable of saying absurd lines of dialogue with a straight face. Drebin Jr seems more like Brian Mills Jr from Taken going by this trailer.

The vibe I get is more along the lines of Scary Movie and not really of those Zucker Abrahams Zucker flicks. I'll have to wait and see how this plays out.
