Liam Neeson’s The Naked Gun Hits Prime Video—Streaming Date Revealed
Liam Neeson’s spoof The Naked Gun hits Prime Video in December, sprinting to streaming after its August 2025 theatrical bow.
Liam Neeson doing deadpan in a big, goofy parody? Yes, please. If you skipped The Naked Gun in theaters back in August, the streaming wait is short: Prime Video is dropping it right as the year wraps.
Streaming date and the road to it
The Naked Gun hits Prime Video on December 29. It first rolled out in theaters in August 2025, and now it is getting the end-of-year streaming handoff.
So what did they reboot exactly?
It is the brand getting a fresh start with a new lead: Neeson plays Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr., taking up the badge and the deadpan to try and salvage the reputation of the LAPD's perpetually hapless Police Squad. If you are wondering whether this is a reboot or a sequel, the answer is basically: both. It is framed as a restart of the series but continues the world with a next-generation Drebin.
- Liam Neeson as Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr.
- Pamela Anderson as Beth Davenport
- Paul Walter Hauser as Capt. Ed Hocken Jr.
- Danny Huston as Richard Cane
- CCH Pounder as Chief Davis
The plot, as on-the-nose as it sounds
The movie kicks off with Drebin Jr. undercover to stop a robbery. The gag is the job he is working is just a diversion for a bigger heist: someone swipes a high-tech MacGuffin literally called the P.L.O.T. Device. Subtle? Absolutely not. That is kind of the point.
How it played with critics and audiences
Reviews landed strong. The Naked Gun sits at 87 percent with critics on Rotten Tomatoes from 334 reviews, while the audience score is a more tempered 73 percent.
"An unadulterated good time, absolutely brimming with sight gags, one-liners and goofy humour... The original films were known for being unapologetically silly, and this sequel did not scrimp. It's dumb but brilliantly dumb."

Box office check
It did respectable business in theaters: over 52 million dollars domestic and about 49.5 million dollars internationally, for a worldwide total just north of 100 million. With the Prime Video release landing during the holiday lull, expect it to find an even bigger crowd on the couch.
