'Naked Gun' Creator Reacts To Remake With NSFW Comparison: 'I Can't Unsee It'
HuffPost
David Zucker directed the original 1989 film and used one of the grossest internet videos from the 2000s to describe the Liam Neeson-led reboot.
David Zucker has no intentions of seeing the upcoming remake of “The Naked Gun.”
Paramount Pictures dropped the first teaser Thursday to trending results and millions of views. Zucker, who directed the original 1989 film and the comedy classic “Airplane!” (1980), reacted with a rather vivid description that is likely to trigger untold internet users.
“I never saw ‘Airplane 2’ because you can’t unsee that stuff,” Zucker told TMZ. “I’m not planning on seeking the ‘Naked Gun’ remake either. I regret having seen the trailer for it. It’s like watching ‘2 Girls 1 Cup.’ I can’t unsee it.”
While arguably an esoteric reference today, “2 Girls 1 Cup” was one of the most widely shared internet videos of the late 2000s — and showed two women eating what appears to be feces in what was reportedly the trailer for a Brazilian scat fetish porn film.
It inspired baffling marketing stunts at the time even from corporate giants like Coca-Cola. As evident by the unfavorable comparison Thursday, Zucker is taking the impending fourth entry in his beloved franchise personally — and arguably has good reason.
