He’s back! And it is now on digital download, DVD, Blu-Ray, and 4K UHD. The reboot of the classic cop comedy franchise, The Naked Gun, is now available on home entertainment. Starring Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Kevin Durand, and Danny Huston. It received positive reviews from critics and grossed $102.1 million worldwide against a $42 million budget. To celebrate its release across all home entertainment formats, we present a breakdown of some of the hilarious moments the home audience can expect.
The Naked Gun’s Funniest Moments
The new Naked Gun delivers what its viewers hope for: relentless absurdity, slapstick, wordplay, outlandish visual gags, and a respect for the original’s tone. Directed by Akiva Schaffer and with Liam Neeson stepping into the Drebin shoes, The Naked Gun proves that comedy has its place on the big screen. Here are some of the funniest moments that audiences have been talking about.
The Opening Heist
One of the film’s first major laughs arrives in the bank-robbery opening. Here, a group of criminals is abruptly stopped by what appears to be a little schoolgirl clutching an oversized lollipop. But this isn’t an ordinary child—it’s actually Drebin Jr. in disguise. The gag escalates hilariously when Drebin tears off the mask to reveal a full-grown Liam Neeson dressed in a schoolgirl outfit. He then takes on the robbers. As if that wasn’t ridiculous enough, the scene concludes with Drebin casually propping his leg on a step, exposing strawberry-patterned pink briefs. This delightfully absurd introduction firmly establishes The Naked Gun’s over-the-top comedic style. It instantly lets the audience know exactly what kind of outrageous ride they’re in for.
Pop Culture Riffage
The film doesn’t hold back when it comes to poking fun at modern pop culture. From Frank scolding Beth for deleting his Buffy the Vampire Slayer recordings from the TiVo. To his lingering outrage over the Janet Jackson Super Bowl incident, which somehow leads him to arrest an entire McDonald’s. The references are pure comedic gold. Add in his and Richard’s shared admiration for Fergie (“The Duchess!”), which hilariously builds to a fight scene set to Fergalicious. The film becomes a nonstop parade of pop culture gags. These clever, unexpected references keep the laughs coming and ensure the humour stays fresh and familiar,
“Take a Seat”
Many of the film’s funniest moments stem from the electric chemistry and back-and-forth between Frank and Beth. Played by Pamela Anderson, their playful, will-they-won’t-they dynamic amplifies the humour, giving each gag an extra spark. In their first encounter, Frank tells Beth to “take a seat,” which she takes a little too literally. She hauls a chair with her as she exits, all after she already says she has enough at home. It’s a small, perfectly timed bit of physical comedy that captures The Naked Gun’s signature blend of absurdity and charm.
The Scatting Scene
Staying on the theme of Pamela Anderson’s character Beth, one of the most surprising laughs‐out‐loud moments comes from Beth’s jazz club performance. This performance occurs under the disguise of “Cherry Roosevelt Fat Bozo Chowing Spaghetti”. Officially titled “Sassafras Chicken in D,” the whole sequence is a diversion. Nevertheless, Anderson commits fully. She scats along to a smooth jazz beat for a commendable amount of time. What viewers will be delighted to know is that there is an even longer version of the scatting sequence in the bonus features of The Naked Gun.
Continuing with Pamela Anderson’s character, Beth, one of the film’s most unexpectedly hilarious moments unfolds during her jazz club performance. Here, she performs under the outrageous alias “Cherry Roosevelt Fat Bozo Chowing Spaghetti.” The number, officially titled “Sassafras Chicken in D,” serves as a diversion for Frank’s sneaking around. Yet, Anderson throws herself into it completely—scatting enthusiastically to a smooth jazz rhythm for an impressively long stretch. Fans will be delighted to learn that an even longer version of this delightfully bizarre sequence can be found in The Naked Gun’s bonus features.
The Snowman Montage
What begins as a cosy, romantic ski cabin getaway for Beth and Frank quickly spirals into one of the film’s most ridiculous sequences. The couple share many tender moments—nestled in the cabin, and building a snowman together. But to their surprise, the snowman magically springs to life. At first, the trio enjoys an oddly wholesome bond, but things take a hilariously dark turn. The snowman grows envious of Beth and Frank’s blossoming romance. Consumed by jealousy, it begins plotting their demise. This leads to an outrageously over-the-top montage of snowy sabotage and slapstick mayhem. The sequence escalates with each gag, leaving the audience in fits of laughter.
In the end, The Naked Gun manages to do what few modern comedies dare—it fully embraces the ridiculous. Akiva Schaffer’s direction captures the heart of the original franchise while giving it a fresh, modern rhythm. Liam Neeson proves a surprisingly perfect fit for the deadpan chaos that defines Frank Drebin. With its mix of outrageous absurdity and unrelenting visual gags, the film reminds audiences of the joy in pure, unapologetic silliness.
The Naked Gun: Liam and Pamela Best Bits Feature
The Naked Gun, directed by Akiva Schaffer, manages to revive the franchise’s heritage of absurd slapstick, visual gags, and comedic one-liners. Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson deliver some of the film’s funniest moments.
Bank Heist Disguises
Right from the jump, we get a classic Naked Gun-style gag: Frank Drebin Jr. (Neeson) takes down a gang of bank robbers while disguised as a schoolgirl. The gag escalates hilariously when Drebin rips off his disguise to reveal Neeson himself. He is still in his plaid skirt, taking down armed robbers with deadpan intensity. The sequence caps off with a perfectly timed punchline. Drebin lifts one leg onto a step, flashing a pair of pink, strawberry-patterned briefs—setting the hilarious tone from the start.
“Take a Seat”
One of the early character moments between Neeson’s Frank and Anderson’s Beth plays on classic physical comedy. When Frank invites Beth to “take a seat” in his precinct office, she declines and says she has plenty at home. But as the scene concludes, she exclaims that she, in fact, will take the chair — dragging it behind her as she exits. It’s a small gag, but perfectly timed, establishing both the character dynamic and the tone.
Self-Driving Disaster
When Richard Cane (Danny Huston) donates a self-driving electric car to the Police Squad, things go wildly off the rails. As Drebin drives, the car malfunctions, leading to comic mayhem involving bees and balloons. It crashes through things and even goes through a replacement windshield gag.
The Scatting Scene
Pamela Anderson has a standout moment in the movie with her character, Beth Davenport, performing in a jazz club. She uses scatting as a distraction so that Drebin can peruse the security footage evidence there. It’s both silly and well-executed, and Anderson didn’t hold back at all.
Praying for a Sign
Frank, haunted by his father (Frank Drebin Sr.), frequently prays for signs of his father’s approval throughout the film. He even asks for something mundane, like an owl, to show up. However, this is brought to life comedically when an owl appears in the climax. It provides more than just symbolic support: it ultimately assists Frank by picking him up and flying him in pursuit of Richard Cane.
New Year’s Balls
One of the film’s most significant set pieces takes place during the New Year’s Eve ball drop. The evil plan involving the P.L.O.T. Device comes to a head there. In the chaos of trying to disarm it, Frank loses his pants and is left swinging from the New Year’s balls.
Throughout the film, a lot of the funniest moments come not just from set pieces, but from the contrast between Neeson’s straight-face delivery and Anderson’s willingness to lean into absurdity. There are running jokes about Frank’s obsession with pop culture (e.g., Buffy the Vampire Slayer references), Beth’s investigative nature, and physical comedy (e.g., Frank suffering after eating chilli dogs).
The Naked Gun is available to rent or buy on all home entertainment formats now.
