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.

Warning: spoilers below for “The Naked Gun.” Leslie Nielsen would be proud. Director Akiva Schaffer, 47, has revealed that he “threatened to quit” the “Naked Gun” reboot to save a scene that the movie’s other writers wanted to cut.
