The Naked Gun

13 of 2024's 14 biggest movies were sequels. The other one is getting a sequel this year.

20 can’t-miss movies in ’25.

The comedy legend also worked on ‘The Naked Gun’ and directed ‘Hot Shots.’

The upcoming remake of 'The Naked Gun' franchise is generating buzz with Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin and Pamela Anderson as the lead love interest.

Neeson will play the role of the bumbling cop originated by Leslie Nielson in the popular spoof films.

It’s true what they say: Cops and women don’t mix.

Hey! It’s Enrico Pallazzo!

Police Squad!

While any self-respecting comedy fan undoubtedly knows the Naked Gun movies by heart, I hope those same fans are also aware of Police Squad!, the short-lived 1982 ABC comedy series that set the stage for Leslie Nielsen’s Frank Drebin character. Created by the Zucker Brothers and serving as a hilarious sendup of police procedurals, Police Squad! was a slightly drier version of the movie characters we would all come to know and love. The show was infamously cancelled after only six episodes, with ABC executives claiming that the rapid-fire comedy and plethora of visual gags were too complex for television audiences. Thus, Police Squad! remains a television show impossibly ahead of its time.

They’re making a new version of The Naked Gun, because they’re making a new version of every old movie. And they’re making this one with Ed Helms, because Ed Helms starred in some of the biggest comedies of all time, including The Hangover (and he’s already remaking, or at least updating, National Lampoon’s Vacation). But according to David Zucker, the director of the original Naked Gun, the new film “won’t be like” the old one, because ... honestly, I have no earthly idea.
