The Naked Gun had run out of bullets, at least until this week's 'reboot', directed and co-written by Akiva Schaffer (whose last film was 2022's unexpectedly enjoyable Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers).

In the thick of reboot culture, The Naked Gun is a prime example of filmmakers taking a nostalgic piece of cinema and making good on its legacy. It honours the humour above all, and you’d be hard-pushed to find a funnier film this year.

The two actors had to step out of their comfort zones to film scenes for the reboot of the spoof-comedy franchise, and Anderson says Neeson supported her along the way.
