Check out the brand new trailer for THE NAKED GUN.

Only one man has the particular set of skills… to lead Police Squad and save the world! Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. (Liam Neeson) follows in his father’s footsteps in THE NAKED GUN, directed by Akiva Schaffer (Saturday Night Live, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping) and from producer Seth MacFarlane (Ted, Family Guy).

Joining the case are cast Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, with Danny Huston.

The “Naked Gun” film series is the hilarious slapstick comedy franchise starring Leslie Nielsen (a comedy god) as the bumbling police lieutenant Frank Drebin. The films are known for their rapid-fire jokes, visual gags, and parody of police procedural tropes.

For those who have never seen the 3 previous films, you can stream them on Paramount +. Prepare yourselves for COMEDY GOLD!

The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988): This was the first film in the series, directly spun off from the short-lived but critically acclaimed TV series “Police Squad!” It follows Drebin as he tries to thwart an assassination attempt on Queen Elizabeth II.

The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991): The sequel sees Drebin entangled in a plot involving a scientist specializing in solar energy.

Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult (1994): The third installment has Drebin going undercover to stop a terrorist plot to detonate a bomb during the Academy Awards.

All three films combined have a worldwide box office total of $477,091,186.

THE NAKED GUN opens in theatres August 1, 2025
