laiming that Leslie Nielsen’s iconic performance can’t be matched, even by a talented actor such as Neeson.

Neeson seems pretty wooden and one dimensional to me.

You just can’t replace Leslie Neilsen as Frank Drebin no more than replacing Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau. Some things you just leave alone.

Great analogy. Some characters are so well defined by a specific actor, trying to remake them is just a set up for failure.

You can still watch the 1982 short lived 6 episode series Police Squad with Leslie Neilsen as Frank Drebin on YouTube. They’re hilarious!

If Liam Neeson is in it, I am automatically out. Stupid Irish prick should keep his political opinions about *AMERICA* to himself.

A society that is afraid to laugh is also afraid to be honest.

So a full-grown man disguises himself as a little girl in a real-world setting? That’s not humor, it’s just impossible and weird. Pass.

How could they make a Naked gun without Drebin?
