The Naked Gun reboot is certainly paying its share of homage to the original film, as new star Liam Neeson prepares to take over the reins as Frank Drebin Jr. following in the footsteps of Leslie Nielsen’s original Frank Drebin – and Regal’s hilariously crass new collector’s edition popcorn bucket for the reboot follows that tradition by calling back to one of the original movie’s raciest gags.

Here’s the bucket:

If you haven’t seen the original 1988 film The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad, the film’s surrealist, gag-based humor is perfectly encapsulated in the new bucket, which, as you can see, is a big plastic beaver full of popcorn emblazoned with Frank Drebin’s immortal line, “Nice beaver.”
