Why did they cast Liam Neeson in the new Naked Gun movie, rather than John Hamm.

Hamm is obviously the best choice to succeed Leslie Neilson. Can Liam even do comedy?

I don't even know where to start. Just... delete this, OP.

Both Neeson and Hamm measure up!

Jon Hamm has never opened a movie in his life.

Neeson actually has a very good sense of humor - I could see it.

I'm tired of John Hamm - too much facial mugging.

Liam Neeson had a cameo role in Derry Girls, and he was hilarious.

I don't get why they're doing this. I haven't watched the trailer, why bother?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but The Naked Guns series was crafted around Nielson's talents, going back to the Police Squad days (that's still a funny show).

I'll never forget seeing the trailer for the original film in the movie theater...we had no idea what we were watching but the entire theater went nuts for laughter.

The whole baseball scene is just ingenious...every minute of it.

My father took me to see the Naked Gun when I was 8 when we were waiting to pick my mother up from the airport. I laughed so loud and so long and I could feel other movie goers laughing at my laughing.

Of course I now realise they were laughing at a child cackling away during a movie containing stuffed beaver jokes and human sized condoms, which went right over my head, and not at the sound of my actual laugh.
