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.

The Naked Gun reboot wouldn't be the same without the snowman sequence, one of the silliest and funniest parts of the movie. However, the scene was "polarizing" for some during the making of the film, and co-writer and director Akiva Schaffer had to fight to keep it.

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.
