The Naked Gun editor Brian Scott Olds knows that comedy thrives on the elements of surprise and timing.  He applied this philosophy to every aspect of the film—from physical gags to witty word play and silly sound design.  But making a film that respects the legacy of its predecessor while updating its essence for today is no laughing matter. Brian and director Akiva Schaffer had a clear mission: maintain the comedic tone and tenor from the original while spoofing modern-day blockbusters like Mission Impossible.  And stop calling me Shirley.
 
 Avika Schaffer's take on The Naked Gun features Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr (Liam Neeson) working as a police officer like his legendary father. In order to save Police Squad from shutting down he must solve the mystery behind.....oh, who cares?!  This is The Naked Gun! The plot doesn't matter!
Editor Brian Scott Olds is known for his work on Central Intelligence (2016), The Happytime Murders (2018), The King of Staten Island (2020) and Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022).
