A plotline in the 2025 film revolves around the New Year's Balls drop, turning the annual celebration into a gag about testicles. Naked Gun superfans may recognize this as a goofy reference to the original film, when Nielsen’s Drebin says everything reminds him of his ex-wife, only to see a power plant that looks like two large breasts.

As the star of “The Naked Gun” trilogy, Leslie Nielsen left some very large cop shoes to fill. Though the films were made decades into his long career, Lieutenant Frank Drebin remains Nielsen’s signature role.
