The Naked Gun is making significant waves in the marketing sphere, successfully transforming initial skepticism into enthusiastic support. The two trailers have captivated audiences, showcasing a blend of humor and absurdity, while the promotional posters feature visual gags that highlight just how delightfully silly the film promises to be. Initially, we were treated to a hilarious image of Liam Neeson performing an impressive split, followed by a playful poster depicting Neeson and Pamela Anderson entwined in a comical embrace. The latest addition to this entertaining lineup is the new Naked Gun poster, which features Neeson ensuring his fingerprints are humorously all over his gun, adding to the film’s playful charm.

The newly released Naked Gun poster prominently features Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin, Jr., who is portrayed confidently holding his pistol, with all of his fingers – a total of eight – firmly gripping the weapon. Accompanying this striking image is a humorous tagline: “No AI was used in the making of this poster.” This clever line serves as a delightful complement to the previous Naked Gun poster featuring Anderson, which also illustrated a scene with numerous hands playfully interacting (with Anderson playing the character Beth alongside Neeson). Moreover, the tagline serves as a witty critique aimed at companies that do utilize artificial intelligence in their advertising materials, especially considering that poorly rendered hands have become a notorious sign of non-human creation in artwork.

Based on the trailers and promotional posters, The Naked Gun is shaping up to be one of the most eagerly awaited films in the comedy genre, regardless of the time of year. While some critics, including David Zucker, express strong opposition to the fourth installment of this beloved franchise and question whether the spoof genre still holds appeal for audiences, many fans are eagerly counting down the days until the opening weekend. Mark your calendars, as The Naked Gun is set to hit theaters on August 1st.

This installment of The Naked Gun marks the first film in the franchise to be released in over 30 years, following 1994’s Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult. This time around, we follow Frank Drebin, Jr. as he attempts to step into the shoes of his late father, originally portrayed by the legendary Leslie Nielsen in the classic trilogy and the iconic Police Squad! series, where Nielsen’s character first graced screens in 1982, well ahead of the initial Naked Gun film.
