This is going to be crude, stupid, and juvenile - and I'm going to laugh myself silly at it!

That looks much more promising than I expected

I'm not sure what to think of this: I've always liked Liam Neeson but I can't stand Seth McFarlane.

The original POLICE SQUAD tv series and the first NAKED GUN movie were great but I really don't know what to think of this. 🤔🤔

Not sure either. It's only a teaser, but there was nothing that made me laugh, or even smile. We shall see how this turns out.

Trivia:

Leslie Nielsen was 62 when he did the 1988 Naked Gun.
Liam Neeson is now 72.

Neeson playing Frank Drebin's son is a tough sell!

I love all 3 NAKED GUN movies.

tbh this trailer seems so far removed from that universe... doesn't give me NAKED GUN vibes at all.

times change, I get it.

Uh... okay. "Police Squad!" is no masterpiece. The original AIRPLANE and NAKED GUNs are fun movies starring a more or less washed-up whitebread actor known best for playing bland good guys, who found a much more durable legacy being a (very good) onscreen clown. As I have zero interest in ever seeing Liam Neeson play another vengeful dad or cop, Frank Drebbin Jr. seems like as good a career move for him as any. I guess if one has a grudge against Seth MacFarlane or Akiva Schaeffer that would be an issue but I have no such strong feelings. It ain't the 80s anymore and the end of the posted trailer seems like it strikes exactly the right tone for a NAKED GUN movie in 2025: reverent and also irreverent.

Maybe Zucker just can't receive any negative feedback about OJ?

The wall of portraits is strait outa the cemetery scene from The Big Bus, but the picture of OJ nails it...

well to be fair he seemed to have the same reservations about AIRPLANE 2 and there was no OJ sitiation there...

 :bouncegiggle: Frank Drebbin is surely not just "a cop"!

I agree, I enjoyed early FAMILY GUY but eventually it de-evolved into something quite annoying and way too political. TED was a disgrace, I couldn't stand it. Liam Neeson is awesome but I don't think he has the deadpan delivery of Leslie Nielsen which is what made him so funny; this looks more like a lame attempt at doing something more akin to MACHETE, with the over-the-top violence and one liners.

Still, I may watch it just to see good ol' Liam kick some ass, it's been a while.
