This article contains Small spoilers For the "naked gun", so be careful.

Reboot the classic fraud franchise "Naked Gun" hits theaters this weekendAnd it will be difficult for you to find a comedy that packs so many funny jokes in his eternal hour and a half duration. Seriously, there was no comedy on the big canvas that makes you laugh so often, so hard and so consistent for a long time. Even if you find that the joke is not working for you, don't worry, another will come in just a moment.

That's largely because Director Akiva Shaffer ("Hot Rod," "Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping," "CHIP 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers"), along with Co-Writers Dan Gregor and Doug Mand Of the original property, figuring out how to create the story with imposing on A huge number of jokes And to ensure that they precisely shape the panties, so as not to overcome their welcome. There are Even secret jokes over the loansWhat is a franchise tradition.

However, when it comes to a little in the "naked gun", Schaffer fully admitted to being "complacent", and he wanted to keep him in the film, no matter how many people thought he didn't work. It is not a basic laughter, but it is unique in the patience that Schaffer had to let him breathe, and also accomplish what is needed for the next stage of the relationship between Frank Drebin Runior (Liam Neeson) and Bet Davenport (Pamela Anderson). Also, it's absolutely funny.

As we finish the second act, nothing went well for Frank Drenbi Runior, as he is trying to prevent the unusual plans of technology billionaire Richard Caine (Dani Huston). However, when he arrives in Beth Davenport's place to lick his wounds, he faces a whole new frustration when he notices something disturbing.

You see, Frank borrowed his old tivo, allowing and ' Watch episodes on the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" TV series And finally understand all his references to the show. However, when Beth hooked Tivo to watch them, she also hooked it online. When you have an old Tivo with footage to expire after a certain time, online hanging means you will probably lose all the shots you have, who have gone through the expiration date.

Frank explains all this because he is increasingly frustrated and continues to raise Tivo to see if his beloved episodes "Bufi" are still there. When Beth tries to intervene, he stops and storms it strictly, "Just stand there." And the audience is waiting as Frank is moving through the Tivo menu in an attempt to find his episodes.

It is a perfectly random, meaningless joke that takes a moment to slow things down, and Schaffer knew he was breaking the momentum of the rest of the film. In our interview with the director, where I couldn't wait to ask him about this little, he explained:

"Well, it's so funny" reason in some of these interviews, I'm talking a lot about intensity and how the film just had to move and how if the joke didn't work, I would always reduce it. Even the things that went further, as we sometimes cut off the last rhythm if you climb into one part. Then, when the "Buffy" comes, it's independent. That's just me.

If the audience does not appreciate the joke of first viewing, Schaffer thinks they will try when they see it again. He said: "I think even for people who don't like it, if they watched the movie another way or two more times now knowing that, I think it will become their favorite joke. That's how much I believe in it."

Schaffer even went so far as theorizing why it doesn't work for everyone, despite the fact that some audiences laugh at the subsequent joke he keeps a little alive in the next scene, when Frank leaves Bet's apartment with his hands wrapped around his empty tivo. Shafer explained:

"When he is in the cabin (...) and he has Tivo, there are people who laugh there and I go like," I think there are some people who just see how they try to understand where he goes and what is like a joke, because I do not recognize his format from nothing. "And that is Liam's performance that kills him.

However, Shafer knew that not everyone would understand his desire to keep him a little. In fact, even Starvala Liam Neeson was skeptical about the joke. Shafer recalled: "I had to tell Liam," no, I know that not. It only plays for half of the audience. " It's just my favorite, and I like that we don't explain it. "

Schaffer's loveee to the joke extends so far the only thing in the film that still makes him laugh. He explained:

"It's the only joke that still makes me laugh. I've seen the movie thousands of times, I examined every frame. It's all like those and zeros now with color and sound and mix. Don't touch it. That's the best joke in the movie. It was. 'But I have to admit, it was complacent.

The naked gun is now playing in the cinema.
