Film Review: The Naked Gun (2025)

A red firey background with metallic like text reading "The Naked Gun" the "UN" of gun is appears under the G at 90 degrees as the joke is they didn't leave enough space for it on the screen.

Looking for a film to watch for my (quite possibly short-lived) New Year’s resolution of watching at least one film a week, I stumbled upon the 2025 The Naked Gun with Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson.

Whilst it is a continuation/sequel to the Leslie Neilsen movies, I can’t say the humour was there – I don’t think I laughed once. I did spend quite a lot of the movie thinking “Who is the actor playing Sig Gustafson” (answer: Kevin Durand – who played Vasiliy Fet in the excellent TV series “The Strain“), I didn’t recognise Pamela Anderson at all (despite being a young teen in the 80s/90s when Baywatch/Barbed Wire was available: neither really interested me, but the she was plastered everyway) and did have a bit of a smile when Weird Al’s customary Naked Gun cameo was made and a little smile when Dave Bautista made his small cameo – but that was about it.
