After three decades of silence, The Naked Gun is back, and fans can’t stop raving. The iconic spoof comedy franchise has returned with a fresh cast and enough humorous and ridiculous gags to keep everyone laughing from start to finish. Here’s what everyone’s saying about The Naked Gun.
The Naked Gun fans’ reaction explained
Ahead of its worldwide theatrical release on August 1, 2025, The Naked Gun screened for select audiences at its New York premiere and early press previews. According to fans, the film delivers nonstop comedy gold, with Liam Neeson in the role of Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., son of Leslie Nielsen’s iconic character from the original films. It’s also one of Pamela Anderson’s comeback movies.
One fan on X (formerly Twitter) summed up the experience: “The new NAKED GUN has the highest joke-to-minute ratio since JACKASS FOREVER, really is a small miracle that a movie like this exists in the current theatrical climate. It will probably make like 5 dollars total but I was howling with laughter at this hysterical fever dream.”
Another viewer chimed in with high praise for both the film and its cast, “Really clever and very self-aware, and captures the original’s charm well. Also, one of Liam Neeson’s best performances in so long. Loved Pamela Anderson here too. What a blast. #TheNakedGun.”
Furthermore, some fans feel the film blends old-school humor with current-day satire. “THE NAKED GUN is the hardest I’ve laughed during a film in a really long time. This is full of delightfully silly, scorching gags that retain a 90’s energy and incorporate modern critiques. So much fun,” said a fan.
With its roots in the 1982 cult TV show Police Squad! and a legacy of absurd, pun-filled humor, The Naked Gun reboot seems ready to bring spoof comedy back into the mainstream. If the premiere reactions are anything to go by, this reboot might just be one of the funniest films of the year.
