Akiva Schaffer on why the bonkers snowman scene was important, fighting it being cut from the movie, and how he was supposed to come back at the end.

David Zucker tells The Hollywood Reporter that he wants the best for the new film and reached out to director Akiva Schaffer to show his support, even if the movie "really isn't what I would have done.

The co-writer/director says friends like Andy Samberg told him, "Do not let them cut it." The Naked Gun co-writer/director Akiva Schaffer knew he struck gold with the wild snowman montage in his movie starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson.
