They couldn't get Leslie Nielsen to reprise his role (since he passed away 15 years ago), so they called the next closest name in the Hollywood phone book: Liam Neeson.
I want there to be at least one joke about this in the movie
To be honest I hadn't noticed the different name and was very confused. That's why I came to the comments, so thanks.
I am cautiously optimistic. I was worried it wouldn't hit the same, but when I saw the camera pull out to every officer crying to a portrait, that's dead on the comedic tone from the originals. I just hope it keeps it up.
I will also wait to see more before jumping on the hate wagon. I have a lot of faith in Akiva Schaffer's comedic sensibilities and directing skills.
Okay so he is the son, makes perfect sense.
Also, Leslie Nielsen was very good at looking serious and doing dead pan delivery, Liam Neeson is really good at that too.
The OJ Simpson joke made me smile but otherwise, this looks terrible.
That OJ Simpson joke was brilliant! I am keeping an eye on this one
