As The Naked Gun legacyquel hits theaters at the beginning of August, the 2025 movie schedule is about to find itself under arrest…with laughter. Since the schtick seen in the classic Leslie Nielsen trilogy needed some updating for a new generation, I was afraid that some of my favorite sorts of humor would be lost in the shuffle.
Seeing as the first Naked Gun screening reactions saw audiences "in tears," I had a feeling we were all in good hands. By the time the credits rolled on the Liam Neeson/Pamela Anderson fronted revamp, my worries were put aside. Which makes it even more appropriate, as the credits themselves were what I was concerned with.
