Liam Neeson’s new comedy film, The Naked Gun, is set to debut on Prime Video on December 29, 2025. Following its theatrical release in August 2025, the film’s streaming launch has generated considerable excitement among fans eager to enjoy the parody from the comfort of their homes.
Film Overview and Cast Details
In this reboot, Neeson takes on the role of Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Pamela Anderson as Beth Davenport, Paul Walter Hauser as Capt. Ed Hocken Jr., Danny Huston as Richard Cane, and CCH Pounder as Chief Davis. The narrative follows Drebin Jr. as he strives to restore the reputation of the LAPD’s Police Squad. The story kicks off with Drebin Jr. going undercover to thwart a robbery, unaware that the crime serves as a diversion for the theft of a sophisticated device known as the P.L.O.T. Device.
Upon its release, The Naked Gun garnered a positive response from critics, boasting an impressive 87 percent approval score on Rotten Tomatoes based on 334 reviews. The audience rating stands at 73 percent, indicating a solid reception from viewers. Wenlei Ma from The Nightly praised the film as “an unadulterated good time, absolutely brimming with sight gags, one-liners and goofy humour.” Ma further noted, “The original films were known for being unapologetically silly, and this sequel did not scrimp. It’s dumb but brilliantly dumb.”
Box Office Performance and Future Prospects
The film has also performed well commercially, earning over $52 million at the domestic box office and approximately $49.5 million internationally, according to Box Office Mojo. With its upcoming streaming release, The Naked Gun is expected to reach an even broader audience, allowing more viewers to experience its unique brand of humor.
As Neeson continues to explore diverse roles, this latest venture into comedy highlights his versatility as an actor. Fans can look forward to enjoying The Naked Gun on Prime Video later this year, adding to the film’s growing legacy in the comedy genre.
