Official Discussion - The Naked Gun

Summary
Lt. Frank Drebin Jr.—played by Liam Neeson—follows in his late father’s absurd footsteps when he’s assigned to crack a bizarre murder case tied to a tech mogul, just as the Police Squad unit faces disbandment. Think fast‑paced slapstick, sight gags, and puns galore as he reluctantly partners with Ed Hocken Jr. to save the day.

I binged 'The Naked Gun' trilogy in order to watch this over the weekend. Refreshing to see the now-rare slapstick reinvigorated for modern audiences. Was my surprise watch this week preferring it to both 'Superman' and 'F1'.
I'll edit this later with a link to a better review which I'll post in the weekly thread.
Here's the review.
Very funny! Packed with jokes and nods to the original. Lots of laughs from the audience. One or two scenes even earned belly laughs. Liam was great and Pamela Anderson is still smoking hot. Glad we came out to see this one👍🏼
That snowman sequence 😂
A few jokes fell flat for me but overall had a great time. Liam Neeson and Pam Anderson were perfect. So much silly fun
