Neeson, however, is not to be counted among the rewatchers. In fact, the actor made a point of not revisiting the original films, which also starred Priscilla Presley (who you might just spot in the new movie) - though he did see them when they originally hit cinema screens ("They were a good giggle, he said. "Fun. School boy humor").

Director Akiva Schaffer co-wrote the song, "My Sweet Beth," which Neeson sings as a tribute to Pamela Anderson's character.

Original "Naked Gun" director David Zucker criticized Hollywood's lack of originality and explains why he won't see the Liam Neeson reboot of his classic comedy series.
