Pamela Anderson sends fans wild in the first trailer for the new Naked Gun movie, which also stars Liam Neeson.

Pamela Anderson is back to her bombshell best in The Naked Gun movie sequel, which promises plenty of laughs thanks to its hilariously risqué and over-the-top moments.

The actress stars alongside Liam Neeson in the fourth instalment of the iconic movie franchise, which was made popular by the late Leslie Nielsen in the 80s and 90s.

In the latest flick, Neeson plays Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr, the son of Nielsen’s character Frank who is desperate to live up to his father’s legacy.

Anderson joins him as his love interest Beth, a nightclub singer who enlists Drebin’s help to solve her brother’s murder.

Playing a seductive femme fatale – the original role was played by Priscilla Presley –Anderson stars in a few raunchy scenes that sure push the envelope.

In the official trailer released today, the actress’ character is seen through a pair of infra-red binoculars seemingly engaging in a sexually explicit act with Neeson’s character.

Kneeling on the floor in the kitchen, it appears Beth is performing a sex act on Drebin. But as the footage rolls, it becomes clear she is cleaning the oven with Debrin stood nearby.
