The Naked Gun | Official Teaser Trailer (2025 Movie)

Could be good, could be bad.

I like that, as the original did, they’re emulating the visual aesthetics of period police dramas.

But the quality of the actual humor is what will make or break this.

Yeah, the long shot of the bank counters looked straight from The Dark Knight, which was a nice touch.

Also "Free Guy."

Thats a good point. In 20 years we will talk about these movies, not the weird naked gun reboot.

no in 20 years ,we'll be talking about the new 2045 naked gun reboot and how they don't make original movies anymore.

I feel like the bank scene kind of missed the point of Police Squad/Naked Gun (Frank Jr way too outright competent), but the last scene with the pan out to them all kneeling before their various dead dads was absolutely on-point classic Police Squad and the head shake re: OJ lol jesus perfect.

I don't think it's anything we needed - the old Police Squad/Naked Guns hold up surprisingly well - but I dunno, there are worse things to remake. At least it's not here to push a brand or merch or something.

Its been awhile, but I always remembered wild swings between comedic incompetence and suave capability. Seems to fit but gotta see the rest of the movie to know.

Comedies in particular are super hit or miss. It's hard to predict what people will latch onto. Attaching it to an existing property does less than it would for something like an action franchise. This one will have to sink or swim based on its own merits.

It's not needed in that Boomers/X-ers who loved the originals don't really need to revisit that well (the Police Squad-averse was no well-developed setting with plot threads left dangling or questions left unanswered).

A new generation, otoh, needs comedies of that vein. And (believe me, this is in spite of my own arguments to the contrary) that isn't going to be them sitting down to watch the originals. The movies/the series are very much of their time. There are plenty of then-current news and media references. The police work is dominated by filing cabinets and in-car stakeouts and land line phones/squad car mounted radios. More to the point, the pacing is very pre-mid 90s. There's just a huge group of people raised on a different era of media who, if they'll sit through it at all, will treat viewing it the way I treat watching movies from the 30s&40s.

Of course that does raise the question of who is this for? You and I don't need new Naked Gun material, and they have no resonance with the IP. I guess that's the same as all the other (mostly action) reboots and revisits -- older viewers are revisiting old friends (but it isn't the same) and younger people don't know these people but hey, explosions and death-defying action, etc.

Liam Neeson?

Okay, I find the parallel (Leslie Nielsen was mostly a dramatic actor before Airplane!) kind of awesome.
