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.

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.

There’s probably nobody better to direct and write a movie like The Naked Gun reboot than Akiva Schaffer. He has a resume full of brilliant, dumb, joke-a-minute work. Together with Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone he is a member of the comedy trio The Lonely Island.
