On July 30, 2025, the premiere of the film “The Naked Gun” with Liam Neeson (Liam Neeson) will be held in the title role. This is a continuation of the trilogy with the same name, which came from 1988 to 1994. It is devoted to funny adventures of the police -Lieutenant Frank Drebin. From our article you will learn why everyone and everyone get to know it.
We have a big parody of different films
According to many cinema experts, the parode genre has gone the past. Modern directors often do not dare jokes about other cinema and specific people. There are many reasons – of unwillingness to insult certain groups of the population to the risk of getting a lawsuit before the court for copyright violations. And those parodies that reach the release often turn out to be bad comedies that you don’t want to waste time.
The naked gun is actively losing many stamps films and series about the police, from Columbo to Dirty Harry. I have Bondiana. And connoisseurs of the 40s will see references to “double compensation” and “Casablanca” (Casablanca). After viewing a parody, it becomes difficult to seriously observe the original paintings.
The trilogy about Frank Drebin was also very cool. In the second film, for example, George Bush (George Herbert Walker Bush) is ridiculed, who was the current president of the United States at the time of the premiere. However, he and his wife were not insulted by the authors of the film, but invited the most important role of Leslie Nielson (Leslie Nielsen) for a personal meeting.
Acting game of the leading actor is excellent
As soon as we had touched Leslie Nielson, it is worth saying a few words about him. Not every actor will deal with comic roles. It happens that the artist does not play enough emotionally or, on the contrary, rolls into a clowning, therefore the viewer loses interest in what happens. But Leslie is a born comedian that always looks suitable and funny. Even in honestly, failed comedies, for example, in “Very Scary Cinema 4” (scary film 4), he attracts the attention for himself and causes a smile. But his talent was completely unveiled in the “bare gun”.
The actor and in normal life loved to make jokes and play friends. Moreover, he retained a sense of humor until the end of his life. According to his will, during the farewell ceremony, the coffin with Leslie Nilson was worn under the main theme of the “naked gun”.
The best film with Leslie Nilson, except “Naked Pistol”
Now they are no longer making jokes
Many of you have certainly heard a sentence that has become a meme: “The prison changes people so much that the white person has turned black.” Nowadays such a joke would cause indignation in certain groups of the population. And this is far from the only example. So, with the ball of losers, you can see photos with the image of real disaster of the airship Hindenburg, which drowns the Lusitani lining, an earthquake in San Francisco and much more. Such a black humor can be observed in our time.
It’s really funny
Perhaps you have not found the cinema of the 80s and you do not understand the references in the paintings on the walls. But even in this case it is worth viewing the “naked pistol” trilogy. In our opinion, her jokes are even good, even in seclusion of the object of a parody. As an analogy one can quote the film: “Don’t threaten the South Central, drink juice in your quarter” (Don with pointed a threat to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood). The films of the early 90s about black gangsters, which few saw, were laughed at there. But the comedy remained in folk memory, because it was funny in itself. Something similar happened with a “nude gun”.
