Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson in “The Naked Gun.”
Paramount Pictures
Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson’s reboot of the comedy classic The Naked Gun is new on streaming this week with bonus features.
Rated PG-13, The Naked Gun opened in theaters on Aug. 1. The movie is based on Leslie Nielsen’s comedy spoof franchise that began with the 1982 ABC sitcom Police Squad! in which Nielsen starred as bumbling police Det. Frank Drebin.
Nielsen and company then moved to the big screen in 1988 — where they were joined by Priscilla Presley — with The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! and two more films followed: The Naked Gun 2 ½: The Smell of Fear in 1991 and The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult in 1993.
The logline for the reboot of The Naked Gun reads, “Only one man has the particular set of skills … to lead Police Squad and save the world! Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. (Neeson) follows in his father’s footsteps in The Naked Gun.”
Paramount Pictures Home Entertainment recently announced that the new version of The Naked Gun will be released on Tuesday, Sept. 2, on digital streaming via premium video on demand.
The film will be available for purchase on such digital platforms as Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Prime Video and YouTube for $24.99. Since digital rentals are $5 less than purchase prices, viewers can expect to rent the film for $19.99 for 48 hours.
The Naked Gun also stars Anderson as Beth Davenport, who teams with Frank to investigate billionaire tech guru Richard Caine (Danny Huston), who is the prime suspect in connection with the mysterious death of Beth’s brother.
The film also stars Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy and Eddie Yu.
