Overview

• The film is directed and co-written by Akiva Schaffer and stars Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., with Leslie Nielsen’s Drebin Sr. returning in the form of an owl that communicates through subtitled hoots.
• Original cast members Priscilla Presley and Weird Al Yankovic appear in brief cameos, and the creative team addressed O. J. Simpson’s former role with a single respectful gag in the Hall of Legends scene.
• Multiple post-credits sequences break the fourth wall, flash back to the original trilogy’s police-car POV chases and uphold the franchise’s tradition of hidden credit-roll jokes.
• The reboot opened exclusively in U.S. theaters with a “certified fresh” 90% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, an A- CinemaScore from opening audiences and is projected to earn over $15 million in its opening weekend.
• Meanwhile, all three original Naked Gun films stream on Paramount+, with the third installment available free on Pluto TV and Sling TV.
