The cg blood looked like shit. Completely out of place in a naked gun movie too.

OG 'Naked Gun' Director Has No Plan to See Reboot After Trailer Drops

The trailer for the highly anticipated remake of "The Naked Gun" just dropped ... and two people with connections to the Leslie Nielsen classic tell TMZ they have strong love/hate reactions.

www.tmz.com

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!

 

[newtypepilot]

directed by thelonelyisland guy (the one that's rarely on screen) so i don't think it'll be bad.

[GymWolf]

Holy shit that's bad.

 

[Panajev2001a]

Because when I think comedy, I think Liam Neeson

Leslie Nielsen was not a comedy flicks darling either, that is part of what made this fun. Nor were some of his co-stars.

 

[Panajev2001a]

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

Not the kind of stories they want to tell, a lucky idiot you cheer for is not the kind of empowering character they want to sell.

 

[Ar¢tos]

100% this! Little girl morphs into fully grown Drebbin after pulling off mask. Thats not how disguises work!

Another approach would be like Tim Curry did in Loaded Weapon 1. Both are fine for me.

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

 

[awwr999999]

The tragedy is that McFarlane's doing this instead of just doubling down on Family Guy via AAA video games.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

liam neeson, the autocorrect leslie nielsen

 

[JaxarGT]

Surprised by the mixed reaction to this one. I'm hyped!

 

[//DEVIL//]

I am there day one

 

[Alx]

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.

 

[Radical Dreamer]

Wtf is this? Marvel's Deadpool?

 

[Power Pro]

Another approach would be like Tim Curry did in Loaded Weapon 1. Both are fine for me.

"HEY I said after the beep" lol that movie is still so funny

 

[daffyduck]

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

 

[IDKFA]

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.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Another approach would be like Tim Curry did in Loaded Weapon 1. Both are fine for me.

I fucking love Tim Curry, he stole every scene he was ever in.

 

[Vangu Vegro]

Priscilla Presley's still around, right? Think we might get a cameo?

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

It won't be Nelson but I'm willing to give a watch.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

The cg blood looked like shit. Completely out of place in a naked gun movie too.

Yeah. It's more about looney tunes, stooges type of slapstick humor with some racy jokes sprinkled in.

 

[Sophist]

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

he is... ...in his nightmares

 

[kevboard]

Priscilla Presley's still around, right? Think we might get a cameo?

the issue is that I think she nowadays looks like someone the original movies would have made fun of.
pretty sure she had a shitload of plastic surgery done

 

[Sardaukarama]

They should reissue the Police Squad series than Liam Nissan in strawberry undies. I did chuckle at the OJ quip though

 

[Hookshot]

My favorite gag in Police Squad is the garden one but all the YouTube clips spoil it in the title and thumbnails.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Another movie destined to have Ghostbusters Syndrome

 

[Dirk Benedict]

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.

 

[SJRB]

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.

 

[EviLore]

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

Better jokes than in the teaser, will watch I guess.

 

[jshackles]

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.

 

[Stitch]

Another trailer with some different scenes

 

[roosnam1980]

will pamela anderson get naked in this?

 

[Warspite]

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

 

[Connificent]

Shouldve picked Will Ferrel

 

[DKehoe]

It's remarkable how many people's brains are absolutely cooked by this kind of thinking

 

[AJUMP23]

I think Liam Neeson can deliver the right deadpan for this movie. I think it will be a streamer for me.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

A few laughs in there but the whole "your ass" thing still falls incredibly flat. I'm in no rush to see it.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

will pamela anderson get naked in this?

Why would you even want her to? She's look way past her prime

 

[roosnam1980]

Why would you even want her to? She's look way past her prime

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

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.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

My favorite gag in Police Squad is the garden one but all the YouTube clips spoil it in the title and thumbnails.

The toaster in the boxing ring has made me laugh for decades.

 

[kevboard]

Another trailer with some different scenes

I never expected it to be on par with the originals.
so this trailer seems decent to me.

 

[Space Runaway]

Couple ok jokes but looks like a rental.

Also I find the visual style is making it feel less "fun".

 

[EekTheKat]

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.

[kevboard]

the end of this sketch here now feels like he was sneakily teasing the movie lol

 

[SamuraiEdge]

They've been killing it making me laugh lol.

 

[Stitch]

 

[Trogdor1123]

This actually looks pretty darn good. Liam Neesom is great

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Pamela looking great in that clip
