From The Kentucky Fried Movie, to Top Secret and onward, they were masters of irreverent comedy. When they went and tried to bring that comedy to TV, it didn&#8217;t work. As they would explain, you needed to pay attention to get the jokes. And families easting dinner whilst Police Squad was airing, weren&#8217;t really paying attention. Yet, they were able to turn that idea into franchise gold with, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0095705\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_4_tt_7_nm_0_in_0_q_naked%2520gun\">The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>With three mainline films they took their good will from the success of Airplane and spun it into gold. Now, just 30 over 30 years since the last entry, Akiva Schaffer and his team are resurrecting the franchise. Do they have what it takes to bring back a form of comedy that has been floundering for so long? Surprisingly, they do.<\/p>\n<div class=\"category-wrap\" data-qa=\"item\"><strong>Director<\/strong> : Akiva Schaffer<\/div>\n<div class=\"category-wrap\" data-qa=\"item\"><strong>Producer<\/strong> : Seth Macfarlane, Erica Huggins<\/div>\n<div class=\"category-wrap\" data-qa=\"item\"><strong>Screenwriter<\/strong> : Akiva Schaffer, Dan Gregor, Doug Mand<\/div>\n<div class=\"category-wrap\" data-qa=\"item\"><strong>Distributor<\/strong> : Paramount Pictures<\/div>\n<div class=\"category-wrap\" data-qa=\"item\"><strong>Production Co<\/strong> : Fuzzy Door Productions<\/div>\n<div class=\"category-wrap\" data-qa=\"item\"><strong>Rating<\/strong> : PG-13 (Violence\/Bloody Images|Crude\/Sexual Material|Brief Partial Nudity)<\/div>\n<div class=\"category-wrap\" data-qa=\"item\"><strong>Genre<\/strong> : Comedy, Action, Crime<\/div>\n<div class=\"category-wrap\" data-qa=\"item\"><strong>Original Language<\/strong> : English<\/div>\n<div class=\"category-wrap\" data-qa=\"item\"><strong>Release Date (Theaters)<\/strong> : Aug 1, 2025, Wide<\/div>\n<div data-qa=\"item\"><\/div>\n<div data-qa=\"item\"><strong>If you like the review, share your thoughts below.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div data-qa=\"item\"><\/div>\n<div data-qa=\"item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/author\/matthew\/\">Check out more of Matthew&#8217;s articles.\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n<div data-qa=\"item\"><\/div>\n<div data-qa=\"item\"><strong>Here&#8217;s the trailer of the film<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"_8-N8IIq_8I\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Naked Gun | Official Teaser Trailer (2025 Movie) - Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_8-N8IIq_8I?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div data-qa=\"item\"><strong><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1774669342741533\" data-ad-slot=\"1211148813\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins> <\/strong><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check Out More of Our YouTube Channel\u00a0 Matthew Schuchman\u00a0 In the early 90s, while at the video store with his friends who wanted to rent Don\u2019t Tell Mom The Babysitter&#8217;s Dead, Matthew asked the clerk if they had any copies of Naked Lunch available.
