Featured on the Charts: The Naked Gun Tops U.S. Streaming

By Habari Entertainment

The slapstick king is back! According to the latest JustWatch Streaming Charts (July 28 – August 3), “The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!” is the #1 most-watched movie in the United States — proving that even in 2025, deadpan detective comedy still slaps.

🎬 From TV Spoof to Streaming Champion

Before Scary Movie, Austin Powers, or Brooklyn Nine-Nine, there was The Naked Gun. Born from the short-lived but beloved TV series Police Squad! (1982), the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker comedy creation took the world by storm with its absurd gags, over-the-top puns, and pitch-perfect performance by the late Leslie Nielsen as the bumbling yet lovable Lt. Frank Drebin.

Now with a new legacy sequel set to release in 2025 starring Liam Neeson, fans old and new are binging the classics in droves — placing The Naked Gun franchise firmly back in the cultural spotlight.
