The Naked Gun (2025 film)

Picture this: when Akiva Schaffer and Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane are tasked to revive one of the most iconic comedy movies in ages, The Naked Gun, whose actor did they pick? Simple, get the action star Liam Neeson and put him in one big, hilarious sandbox. Yep, here's your answer!

The Naked Gun (2025 film)

Liam Neeson, the action star you're familiar with, has officially joined the world of The Naked Gun in the latest movie, which aims to continue the legacy of its previous installments. In this new-generation Naked Gun film, Neeson takes on the role of Frank Drebin Jr., the descendant of the character originally portrayed by the late Leslie Nielsen in earlier films.

Joining in the fun are Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, and Danny Huston.

While it may feel odd to see Liam Neeson in a comedy role, as he is known for his suspenseful action films, the classic humor reminiscent of Naked Gun is still present. With attractive women, villainous characters, silly gags, and even a quirky beaver, it's everything you would expect from an action-comedy film that aims to make you laugh out loud, so much so that it feels like it's tickling your very DNA.

From beginning to end, it's clear that this isn't truly The Naked Gun; rather, it's Liam Neeson reimagined in a way that feels like a big Family Guy joke. Thank you, Seth MacFarlane. Despite its strange casting, this new Naked Gun movie serves as evidence that comedy is very much alive.

You can skip Amazon Prime's Coming to America 2 or Netflix's Happy Gilmore 2 for this one. This is the revived comedy classic to choose.
