New "Naked Gun" movie starting Liam Neeson

Apparently it has already had 3 seasons with one more on order. I had no idea.

I’ve never heard of that flavor.

All the cool kids like it.

Fonzie only turned to meth after his torrid affair with Marion led to Howard’s gruesome suicide.

Irony is for millennials, like me. The cool kids are post-ironic.

For example:

Not everyone believes it was suicide.

I’m sorry, but that’s bullshit; all of the doors to the house were locked from the inside; it’s not like, all this time, the attic has secretly been home to a brooding and unstable Chuck Cunningham…

I heard it was Joanie and her secret affair with Al.

New longer trailer released.

Has some jokes in the original style, still not sure if this will actually be any good.

I laughed. I think it mostly captures the tone, though Neeson is necessarily different than Nielsen. Nielsen was never physically intimidating; Neeson has that in spades. I don’t know yet how that will work for this style of comedy.

Man AI is taking over everything! First it answers our questions, then does our art, now it’s having affairs with our wimmin!

New trailer looks pretty good. Honestly my favorite part is the coffee gag while driving :rofl: That is classic Police Squad right there.

It seems to be following in its predecessor’s footsteps in another way. The original Police Squad series and Naked Gun movies were very much in the spirit of the cop shows/movies of the time (just look at the Police Squad opening credits). This seems to be a spot-on parody of current gritty cop dramas and action movies…like many of Neeson’s own!

I’ve come across a comment or two saying that Neeson’s not meant to be a comic actor. But they seem to have forgotten Leslie Nielsen started out as a dramatic actor himself! (His character in Forbidden Planet was very much a proto-Captain Kirk.)

From the trailer, I like the scene where he unintentionally rips the guy’s arms off.

I’m less thrilled with the recurring gag about crapping his own pants (or whatever digestive issue he’s having).

I’d like to have more pun-ish, “Shirley, you can’t be serious.” Type jokes.

It’s certainly not the same style as the original Police Squad, but I hope it works anyway. The Spirit Halloween banner going up over the door was pretty great.

Now if we can just get the original TV series on a streaming platform (for free of course!) I’m surprised they haven’t figured that out yet. I guess I could get out my video tapes, one of the first sets I ever bought, but then I’d have to find a way to play them.

This looks hilarious and i cant wait.

I just checked my nightstand. I have some of my DVD sets. The ones that made the nightstand are:
Police Squad
Naked Gun - All three movies
Airplane!
Bean and Johnny English - I like Rowan Adkinson too

So many bad comedies out there, it would be nice to have a very funny one.

I didn’t know about this. I actually kinda want to see it

The new trailer leaves me cautiously optimistic.
