Storyline
“The Naked Gun” (2025) centers on Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. (Liam Neeson), the clumsy yet earnest son of the famed detective, as he leads Police Squad to stop a convoluted murder plot and thwart a bank heist. Packed with absurd slapstick, rapid-fire visual gags, and nostalgic nods to the original, this legacy sequel brings chaos and comedic timing into a new era of parody.
Why It’s Our Vibe
This reboot nails the absurdity and heart of the originals while pumping fresh energy into every pratfall. Neeson’s deadpan takes are surprisingly hilarious, Pamela Anderson brings florid chaos as Beth, and every sight gag—from POV bodycam shots to perfectly timed visual punchlines—hits with gleeful precision. It’s a loving, laughter-packed tribute and a boldly modern twist all at once.
