This article contains spoilers for the "naked gun".

Since the Legacy extensions have been all the rage in the last few decades, it has become commonplace to the original films to appear in a few years (or decades) later. In some cases, they are returning to even greater capacity, such as Michael Keaton's titular spirit with the most in "Bubejuis Bubejuis". However, most heirs are about to help convey the torch of a newer group of heroes. Look, for example, "Strength wakes up" and the "War of Starwells", "Tron Heritage", "Creed", "Screaming" and so on. Then there is the question of the inheritance sequel that wants to use characters played by the actors who have passed since. A few Movies problematic are considered in digital necromacy To achieve the desired effect of the characters continue despite the deaths of their actors, as seen in "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" and "Alien: Romulus".

The most ethical choices would be either to allow these characters to rest together with their original actors or simply process them with other performers. However, there is a secret third option: return them as a reincarnated animal that can then help new stars to beat the bad guys. It is true that they took over the new "naked gun", with director/co-writer Akiva Schaefer and co-writers Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, finding a way to bring Lesli Nielsen's lieutenant Frank Drebin, relying on the absurd. Although the film more than having its own by centering her story (and her huge number of jokes and bits) around Colonel Frank Drbin Runior (Liam Neeson)He also admits that, in the ideal world, Drebin Runior would be around to give his offspring much needed moral support. As such, Nielsen's Drebin really makes a re -appearance in a "naked gun" 2025, only here he is reincarnated in the owl's body and speaks exclusively in titrated screams and barrels. Being honest, this choice is really an incentive and helps the "naked gun" feel more piece with the series as a whole.

Shafer's "Naked Gun" is not a parody of a particular film in itself, but instead is a general parody of action films, as we knew them about the last decade or the like. This is in keeping with the original "naked gun" trilogy approjected its parody. Where the early films of co-directors Jimim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker were much more focused on their satire ("Plane!" Square! " that was supposed to parody the police and films in a general way. As such, while there are deliberate sends of things such as "Mission: Mission: Impossible" and even "Basic Instinct" in "Naked Gun" 2025, there is a wide range of elements and tropes satirizing the film.

However, while the "naked gun" is not a targeted parody of inheritance extensions in the way, for example, "Lego" satirizes the blockbuster film structure, still having fun on a tropy on their. Namely, the idea of an inherited character that the torch passes, something Drebin Runior openly hopes as he kneels in front of his father's "Legends Hall" sanctuary at the police line -up (which is the only time in Leslie Nielsen's image as Drebin is actually seen in the film). Asked if his late father can sign that he is proud of his son, Drenbi Runior suggests that he can put an owl on his way, which is what is actually happening at the end of the film. Drenbi Runior has proved to be even happier, as it is revealed that this owl is not only a sign sent by Drbin, but in fact he is reincarnated to help his son beat Richard Kane (Dani Huston).

So, the Father gives the son of driving his powerful wings during the climate chase, and Drbin Runior can separate cane from his escape bicycle thanks to his owl pope in the face of the villain. It is subtle, oke shafer oke and company in the "Legacy Chapels" that turn to the old and new characters who join the bad guys. It is just as good as any of how this film clearly respects the originals without slaves to devote themselves. Even the blinking and you will miss the appearance of Drebin Runior's mother, Janeain (Priscilla Presley), is set with Drebin's previous moment to talk to his mother. Clearly, Schaffer prefers the smartness of the fan service.

While Drebin Senior's "appearance" in the "naked gun" is probably not a referral to anything special, it contributes to what can be claimed to be the new trend. For wit, the idea of an inherited character that returns as a completely different object or a creature is something that happened not only in the "naked gun", but in David Lynch's last magnum opus, "Twin Peaks: Return" (aka "Twin Peaks" season 3). In 1992 predictor "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me", musician David Bowie showed FBI special agent Philip Effefrey, a man who had a close encounter with supernatural residents of the mysterious black lodge for several years in front of Agent Dale Cooper. However, as Lynch and co-creator Mark Frost were finally ready and were able to revive Twin Peaks in 2017, Bowie died and was unable to participate in the project despite talking about Lynch while getting off the country.

As it turned out, Bowie allowed Lynch to use the footage of the actor from "Fire Walk with Me" provided he was called with an actor in LouisianaOnly Lynch went one better. Not only does effe appears in "Return", and not only does he express his native Newoo Orlean (Nathan Hairdresser), but he took the shape of a white glittering orbit that emits the boiler -like machine. Is it a re -appearance of the bird's Frank Drebin in the "naked gun" reference for Twin Peaks? Suspicious, but in combination with the treatment of lynching effects, we now have a series of characters that return to inheritance extensions in bizarre, surreal new forms. Some may say that this trend has no or cannot continue, but for one, I welcome more legacy sequels, taking surrealistic, thinking-output approach like this approach. Maybe we should keep it transferred Leslie Nielsen Heritage Extension For now. In that case, we may need to prepare for a "repetition", in which Nielsen Mayi's father returns as a bed or something.

Hey, it can work!
