I think the worst thing working against the movie is its production value. It looks more like a Bad Boys or 21 Jump Street movie than a Police Squad reboot. With the originals, the camp was the point.

I mean there’s seriously no way to top the original. Even the 2nd & 3rd ones with Leslie Nielsen weren’t as strong as the first movie. But I’m willing to give this a chance and hope it makes me laugh a few times. I can use it.
I like that they are leveraging Liam’s seriousness in a slapstick movie. It lands well with me, but hopefully it fulfills in execution.
Leslie Nielson was also a serious dramatic actor before Airplane! and Police Squad.
Neeson is perfect. His voice in the Lego movie works because of his gravitas. Throw that in with shameless dick jokes and sethmcfarlane...I mean I'm as big of a fan of the original as you can get but this trailer even looks hilarious...and I hate trailers.
Before the ZAZ movies, Nielson was not only a serious actor, he often played the heavy(!)
33 1/3rd was great
All three were varying degrees of great, but it still didn't measure up to #1.
Much better version of the first trailer.
Ok this trailer is 100x better. Exactly what I would have expected to see.
"Nice beaver"
I just hope they didn’t used their best jokes on this trailer.
Same.
Driving the car while being handed a coffee is pretty clever though. That's good stuff.
Wtf how could you not have the previous music / theme song?!
Looks sufficiently silly for me!
OJ - Oh, they went there!
Poor Nordberg..
Don't get me wrong, the murderer can go fuck himself, but poor Nordberg 😁
Rewatched the first one last night and laughed out loud so many times - which is not normal for me.
