Liam Neeson’s latest film, a comedic take on the classic series, has confirmed its streaming release date. The Naked Gun will debut on Prime Video on December 29, 2025, following its theatrical release in August of the same year. This announcement has generated considerable excitement among fans eager to see the film.
Film Overview and Cast
In this reboot, Liam Neeson takes on the role of Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr. He is joined by a notable 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 plot follows Drebin Jr. as he seeks to restore the reputation of the LAPD’s Police Squad. The story unfolds with Drebin Jr. working undercover to thwart a robbery, which serves as a diversion for the theft of a sophisticated device known as the P.L.O.T. Device.
Upon its theatrical release, The Naked Gun received positive reviews from critics. As of now, it boasts an approval rating of 87 percent on Rotten Tomatoes based on 334 critic reviews, while the audience score stands at 73 percent. Wenlei Ma from The Nightly praised the film, calling it “an unadulterated good time, absolutely brimming with sight gags, one-liners, and goofy humour.” She noted that the film embraces the silly nature of the original series, describing it as “dumb but brilliantly dumb.”
Box Office Performance and Streaming Prospects
Financially, The Naked Gun has also performed admirably, grossing over $52 million at the domestic box office and approximately $49.5 million internationally. With its impending streaming launch, the film is anticipated to attract an even broader audience, capitalizing on the growing popularity of streaming services.
This new iteration of The Naked Gun aims to capture both the nostalgia of long-time fans and the interest of new viewers. With its unique blend of humor and action, it stands poised to become a staple in the streaming landscape once it arrives on Prime Video later this month.
