First Glance: “The Naked Gun” (2025) Full Trailer

You can consider me a proud and unapologetic fan of “The Naked Gun” movie trilogy. The intentionally silly crime spoofs took their inspiration from the 1982 television “Police Squad!” which embraced the absurd humor of the comedy classic “Airplane!”. A key reason for the trilogy’s success was the late, great Leslie Nielsen who so effortlessly channeled Lieutenant Frank Drebin’s idiocy and charm. Now some thirty years later we’re getting a fourth film and the first trailer isn’t very encouraging.

Simply titled “The Naked Gun” (again), the newest installment has Seth MacFarlane producing and Akiva Schaffer directing. It sees Liam Neeson playing Frank Drebin Jr. and Paul Walter Hauser playing Frank’s partner, Captain Ed Hocken Jr. – the son of the character originally played by George Kennedy. Pamela Anderson, Danny Huston, Kevin Durand, CCH Pounder, and Busta Rhymes also star. Unfortunately the attractive cast can’t overcome the remarkably dull attempts of humor and complete lack of charm. Granted, it’s just a trailer, but it’s not a great first impression.

“The Naked Gun” lands in theaters on August 1st. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
