Justice just got a brand new daddy. Paramount has dropped the first official trailer for The Naked Gun, and it’s gloriously dumb, brazenly pushing the PG-13 rating, and a bold reminder that real comedy still exists in 2025 — fearless, absurd, and unafraid to take comedic risks that fragile egos might whine about online.
A Comedy That Refuses to Apologize
In an era where so many comedies tiptoe to avoid offending the easily offended, The Naked Gun struts in swinging its badge and its middle finger at the “I’m just telling jokes, bro” crowd. Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. (Liam Neeson) is here to follow in his father’s footsteps — and slip on every banana peel along the way.

Directed by Akiva Schaffer (Saturday Night Live, Popstar) and produced by the king of cartoon irreverence, Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, Ted), this reboot doesn’t sanitize itself for modern sensibilities. It doubles down on slapstick, wordplay, and jaw-droppingly silly gags — all while pushing the boundaries of the PG-13 rating.
The Naked Gun Castis Loaded for Maximum Ridiculousness
Alongside Neeson’s deadpan brilliance, fans will cheer the all-star comedic chaos: Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, and Danny Huston each join the madness with perfect straight faces and zero shame. From incompetent crime-solving to world-saving pratfalls, this team is locked, loaded, and hilariously clueless.
August 1, 2025 — Prepare to Laugh Like It’s 1988 Again
The trailer teases everything you want from a Naked Gun movie: car chases that defy physics, sight gags that never end, and Neeson reminding us that nobody commits to absurdity quite like an actor best known for killing bad guys with a phone call.
Mark your calendar. Keep your expectations high and your maturity low. The Naked Gun hits theaters August 1, 2025 — and it just might restore your faith that comedy isn’t dead.
