“They’re going to shut down Police Squad if you don’t solve this case. Do this by the book…” Or else! Ha. That’s the sound of tha police! Paramount has debuted the first full official trailer for their reboot of The Naked Gun, a comedy franchise involving a buffoon police officer and his just as goofy colleagues on the Police Squad (first teaser was in April). This new remake / reboot is directed by Lonely Island mastermind Akiva Schaffer, who also made the other hilarious movies Hot Rod, The Watch, and Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers recently. It’s the single most important Naked Gun movie since the other Naked Gun movies. Only one man has the particular set of skills… to lead Police Squad and save the world! Liam Neeson stars in this as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., son of the original Frank Drebin, played by comedy maestro Leslie Nielsen. Joining the case are Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, with Danny Huston. The three original Naked Gun movies are some of the funniest ever made – for real. Thankfully this also looks hilarious! Of course it’s Akiva Schaffer pulling off an actually seriously funny legacy sequel update on this comedy classic. Yep I’ll be watching in theaters.

Here’s the main official trailer (+ poster) for Akiva Schaffer’s comedy The Naked Gun, from YouTube:
