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.

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

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?

A line in that article compared the original Naked Gun to Snow White.

You don’t do that.

I hope they include one gag as it opens....

Liam walks in and someone starts...Are you still alive?” which gets everyone discussing...

I loved the Naked Gun movies, but can’t we PLEASE come up with some original movies for once? When I go to the movies (not often anymore) I always watch the previews and count how many are sequels, remakes or reboots. Invariably at least 90% are not original movies.

Leslie Nielsen had a very serious role as a Starship Captain in ‘Forbidden Planet’. It is this serious past which helps make his comedy so funny. Liam should do fine I figure.

from what I have seen in that trailer, if its an adult movie fine... But I would still consider it a catalyst for gay acceptance similar to what Klinger did in M.A.S.H. or Ferrel in Elf...

If its shown to kids(preteen) then I’d throw you in jail...

I dont find things like that funny. Eddie Murphy or Rodney Dangerfield et.al. didnt have to expose themselves for humor.

Seriously, I give it 2 thumbs down...

Now just wait one hell of a minute.

Frank Drebin is played by a white male?

NO. It needs to be played by an androgenous unicorn with ADD problems.

Seth MacFarlane could pull this off. I’m not a fan of the ‘gross out’ humor (American Dad, Family Guy, etc.), but “The Orville” is fantastic.
