One of the problems that I have with the Liam Neeson remake of Naked Gun is that in the originals, the violence was usually accidental - as I remember it.  He succeeded in spit of himself, sort of in a Jacque Clouseau way.  The remake seems to be much more into the violence and to me appears to be lacking the self-deprecating/dead-pan humor.  Perhaps future trailers will sway me.  Neeson does have a good look for the role, I will freely admit.
