A plotline in the 2025 film revolves around the New Year's Balls drop, turning the annual celebration into a gag about testicles. Naked Gun superfans may recognize this as a goofy reference to the original film, when Nielsen’s Drebin says everything reminds him of his ex-wife, only to see a power plant that looks like two large breasts.

There’s probably nobody better to direct and write a movie like The Naked Gun reboot than Akiva Schaffer. He has a resume full of brilliant, dumb, joke-a-minute work. Together with Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone he is a member of the comedy trio The Lonely Island.

Neeson's turn as Frank Drebin Jr. in Paramount's reboot of The Naked Gun has reignited interest in slapstick comedies and brought new life to a classic franchise. The film's strong box office performance and overwhelmingly positive critical reception prompted speculation about possible sequels.
