"Who are you?!" "Frank Drebin - Police Squad. The new version." Woop! Woop! Paramount has unveiled a hilarious teaser trailer for their new update of
The Naked Gun, a comedy franchise involving a buffoon police officer and his just as goofy colleagues on the Police Squad. This new remake / reboot is directed by Lonely Island mastermind

Pamela Anderson,
Paul Walter Hauser,
