Think about all the things that had to happen for The Naked Gun (2025) to exist:

ZAZ Era:
1980 • Airplane! huge hit
1982 • Police Squad! TV show, huge bomb
1984 • Top Secret! huge bomb
1988 • movie based on the TV show that bombed, The Naked Gun, huge hit + 2 sequels!
.
.
2025 • ZAZless reboot!

@tvaziri I had no idea Top Secret! was a huge bomb. I rented it based on the cow in army boots on the cover (back when VHS/Beta box covers were how movies were judged) for a birthday party and loved every minute of it.
