Neeson's turn as Frank Drebin Jr. in Paramount's reboot of The Naked Gun has reignited interest in slapstick comedies and brought new life to a classic franchise. The film's strong box office performance and overwhelmingly positive critical reception prompted speculation about possible sequels.

While Lord Business is a villain who still has a sense of humor that is evident through his one-liners, the fact that Neeson delivers all of his lines as Bad Cop with complete intensity and sincerity makes it even funnier.
