When Leslie Nielsen died, ESPN ran an obituary for legendary opera singer Enrico Pallazzo.

Are you seriously serious about that?? What??

c'mon! who leaves out the "nice beaver" joke?!

I guess they are too young to get the joke, as they were mentioning that at 37:19 ;)

[@tediousmaximus1067]

And also the "nothing to see here folks, move on!" when the fireworks factory explodes. I was waiting for that.

[@mildredpierce4506]

The assassin baseball player is Reggie Jackson, an actual professional baseball player.

[@0okamino]

Yep, he’s in the Hall of Fame with quite a distinguished career. Not getting Jackson to stay with the Yankees is yet another reason so many fans hated Steinbrenner.

[@THOMMGB]

Reggie Jackson was also known as Mr. October

[@racerfink]

The very first batter is Jay Johnstone, an MLB player as well.

[@wambam9062]

"REGGIE, MAN!"

[@klass_1221]

Yes, "Mr. October".

[@CzechMirco]

7:44 - I find your homage to the recent passing of the Queen very sweet and touching, "no matter how silly the idea of having a Queen is to me".

[@Gravydog316]

that actress who played the Queen also just passed away recently

[@janna-renee]

The extremely tall lab worker at the police station was played by "Tiny" Ron Taylor. He's been in a variety of TV shows and movies. He was 7 feet tall.

[@peterphilly4148]

You were discussing why spoof comedies have devolved into plotless unconnected setups for the next joke. One of the reasons given by the network for canceling the original Police Squad was that it required the audience to pay too close attention to get all of the jokes. Also, Nordberg is played by O.J. Simpson, pre-glove days.

[@billymuellerTikTok]

the original TV show didn't work because people didn't realize it was supposed to be a comedy because there was no laugh track... if it came out now after many shows since 'The Office', 'Curb Your Enthusiasm', 'Parks & Recreation', 'Modern Family', etc. have gotten rid of the laugh track it probably would have succeeded

[@jc296x]

The only time I ever was almost thrown out of a movie theater was when I saw this movie. If you ever had one of those times where as much as you tried to stop laughing, you couldn't and it keeps getting worse... That was me from the second Nordberg (OJ Simpson btw if you didn't notice) leaned into the wet paint after getting shot... right to the end of the movie. I drove everyone nuts screaming in laughter. It probably was like sitting in a theater with the Joker. This one is my favorite of the three Naked Guns but you'll still like the other two. Very funny movies!

[@jonwilson9131]

"Steve Martin in Pink Panther and Steve Carell in Get Smart." I'm so old that it actually bothers me that these are the actors you think of in these roles...

[@janedoe5229]

Totally.

[@philipdickey6460]

Great movie and great cast, the secretary is played by The ex wife of Elvis Presley, Priscilla, her boss is by legendary actor Ricardo Montalban, who played the original Mr. Rourke, on Fantasy Island

[@bobbuethe1477]

There was no post-credits scene, but there were a bunch of gags IN the credits, as a bonus to people who stay to read them. Same with all the Z-A-Z films, like Airplane, Hot Shots, and Top Secret.

[@solvingpolitics3172]

The late, Ricardo Montoblan was an amazing actor. He stared in movies for almost 60 years. Star Trek 2, Wrath of Kahn was a great work of his as well. I highly recommend it. He is sourly missed.

[@ITPalGame]

Sorely

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Surely

[@technomikelyons]

He was also Mr. Roarke in the original version of the series "Fantasy Island".

[@humphreygruntwhistle3946]

Sourly. LOL

[@erinesque1889]

He was also in Sweet Charity, which I wish I could find digitally

[@mikepeters807]

There aren't post credit scenes BUT, if you read the credits there are jokes in there.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

And stop calling me Shirley !!!!!!!!

[@DanJackson1977]

The seires this was based on, Police Squad (1982), only ran for a couple episodes before it was pulled off the air. But it became such a hit on VHS rentals that it inspired the Zucker Bros. them to make the film. The opening gag is literally "what's Frank Drebben been up to since the show was cancelled".. which is "fighting every "scary" 80s dictator and saving the world I guess".

[@Boomerbox2024]

You guys need to experience the REAL Pink Panther, with Peter Sellers, and the REAL Get Smart, with Don Adams. They would make for great reactions, and they would help you to appreciate the modern remakes. Airplane is also a spoof of an earlier movie, Airport, and you would have seen the plot more clearly if you had seen it. You would also enjoy watching a few episodes of Mission: Impossible. I am sure your audience would appreciate that kind of perspective

[@ckalinwi]

Airplane is more of a direct spoof of Zero Hour. So direct in fact that if you watch Zero Hour you can't NOT laugh because some of the dialog and situation is a direct lift.

[@BeOtterMyFriend]

​@@ckalinwiThey even bought the rights to it, in oder not to get sued for basically using the script word for word and adding jokes.

[@jeremyscott3645]

You guys are just awesome! I have had such a bad day and both of you just took me out of all the crap I’m dealing with, and just made my night! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’m way older than you guys, but it still fun to see your reactions… PLUS you both so insightful about story, plot… please keep doing what you’re doing! Cam and Zay, you guys are fun, funny and just great! Don’t ever stop this channel, God knows I’ll need to escape again!

[@carlosrvra]

You guys are one of the target demos this movie was aiming for when it first came out 35 yrs ago, so it's nice to see that it still holds up. I'm sure others have already recommended them, or maybe you've already reacted to them, but if you liked this, there's also AIRPLANE, AIRPLANE 2, TOP SECRET, SPACEBALLS, as well as at least the 2nd sequel to THIS movie, just to name a few.

[@kenpaden]

Great reaction guys, I think you may be right about why these died out, if something is successful in Hollywood , they just keep making more with less emphasis on quality. BTW, OJ SIMPSON was Nordberg and Priscilla Presley was Jane Looking forward to "Young Frankenstein" Congrats on almost hitting 4k already!!

[@Rebel9668]

And the baseball player with the gun was Reggie Jackson.

[@curtismartin2866]

And no one ever picks up on a Black guy with a SWEDISH NAME

[@gmaqwert]

The first Mariners batter is a former major leaguer, Jay Johnstone

[@williambryan3346]

@13:20 I swear Ricardo Montalbán said “That’s better” the same way he did in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan after putting the creatures into Chekov’s and Terrell’s ears.

[@wsn0009]

I ❤️ Leslie Nielsen. This movie is hilarious, and a classic 👍

[@missratner]

My lame claim to fame: The marching band at the end is the USC band, but the recording of Louie Louie is the Rice Univ MOB. Then Rice director Ken Dye was an undergrad at USC, and somehow got the performance rights to Louie. I’ve heard that the USC director was none too pleased. As a Rice band member and later staffer, we used the movie fees to subsidize our game travel for a while.

[@shannonthompson6876]

Loved your reactions to seeing "The Naked Gun"! I first saw this movie in the theater when it came out and the whole theater was roaring with laughter! Good Times and Keep Up the Great Work! :) The villain by the way was Ricardo Montalban, who was very popular in the 80s on the TV show, "Fantasy Island" and he played the space villain in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan".

[@Rebel9668]

And advertised as a spokesman for the Chrysler Cordoba with its "rich Corinthian leather seats", lol.

[@PerfectHandProductions]

That Platoon gag gets me every time.

[@FordWMaverick]

The spitting at the ballgame was chewing tobacco. Up till sometime in the 80's they all chewed it. Then they were pressured to all quit, then the league banned it, so they started with the sunflower seeds.

It's like a golden age The Simpsons episode. It never stops, jokes just keep coming.

[@JG-ic3py]

Two thumbs up on your reaction. Naked Gun is my favorite spoof comedy and Leslie Nielsen is probably one of the best ever at it.

[@Vinterfrid]

He was also in a couple of the "Scary Movie" films as the President. You should also see "Top Secret" and both the "Hot Shot" films with Loyd Bridges as a general in the first film and then the President. He was in "Airplane" as the control tower guy who kept having addiction issues.

[@Rebel9668]

Leslie was also Dracula in Mel Brooks' Dracula: Dead and Loving It!

[@richardyett3985]

@@Rebel9668 I was a hand double on the castle scene where the door knob crumbles. Leslie was a class act and funny.

[@taekwondotime]

This is one of the funniest movies ever made. The jokes never stop coming. You have to watch it many times to get all the jokes.

[@agffans5725]

Denmark and Scandinavia here, I'm not quite a Nielsen myself, but my name is Frank (though not Drebin), and my mother's sister and that part of my Family are all Nielsens. Leslie Nielsens father was actually a police officer, or more correctly he was an immigrant from Denmark who joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. His brother became the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada for a few years in the 80's and his half-uncle was the Danish-American actor Jean Hersholt who twice was awarded an honorary Oscar and a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in his honor the "Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award" is still a special Oscar named by the Oscar Academy. The kind of secretly funny part is that when he is offered a Cuban cigar he said he is "Dutch-Irish, my father was from Wales", because in real life Leslie Nielsen's mother was from Wales, so he was neither Dutch or Irish, but he deliberately switched the "Wales" part from his mother to his father in this joke, he then go on to invite Priscilla Presley out for dinner, saying that he knows this out of the way place, that serve great [Danish] Viking food. I hope you are also going to watch the naked gun 2½ and 33½, but I also recommend Dracula: Dead and Loving It, though he has done loads of movies and TV series. Btw, when Leslie Nielsen died, ESPN published a hilarious obituary for the opera singer "Enrico Pallazzo" in his honor, that you can go google and look up.

[@NestorCaster]

Just some trivia for you guys… Mayor Lillian Barkley in this film is played by no other than Nancy Lou Marchand… who, other than having a long spanning career, is otherwise known as Livia Soprano(Tony’s Mom) on HBO’s The Sopranos… AAAAAAAAND… the main villain, Vincent Ludwig is played by the immortal actor, Ricardo Montalbán, also famous for many, many great roles and having a massive career, one of his greatest roles included the epic villain Khan Noonien Singh, in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan which is also the film with arguably one of the most famous and greatest death scenes in sci-fi, if not, American film history: the death of Spock.

[@lance-the-lot]

"I only practice safe sex" - hysterics!

[@WolfHreda]

So, The Naked Gun was a sequel to a short-lived TV show called Police Squad! (In Color!) You can find all six episodes of it here on KZbin. You should definitely watch them.

[@Harrison11106]

At 4:19 , when you asked why his back was hunched like that, the answer is simple, he threw it out of whack during that scene (that was all him, no stunt double). Weird Al did a cameo in all 3 Naked Gun films, apparently he was a fan of the short-lived series.

[@markharris1125]

I'm a bit puzzled at the thought that Airplane! doesn't have a plot. It even has a back story that comes back to give Ted the impetus to go and land the plane (the George Zip story that Dr Rumack delivers). I think it has a very well-constructed plot. But anyway, I heard you talk about 'The Pink Panther' and thought 'have they really seen 'The Pink Panther'?', which led me to discover that there was a reboot of the Pink Panther series in 2006, with Steve Martin as Clouseau! How did I miss that? So thanks for that, something I will have to look for! 'Young Frankenstein' is a true masterpiece. Looking forward to that one.

[@gmaqwert]

The two sequels are very good too. And if you haven’t seen them, the Austin Powers movies and Anchorman are also hilarious.

[@namelessjedi2242]

No post credit scene, that was not common till recently, but when you watch these older spoof movies always read the end credits, they are full of jokes.

[@janedoe5229]

Yes, we read EVERY word so that we would not miss the jokes.

[@boqndimitrov8693]

this movie and hot shots - two of the best comedies ever made.

[@DannX68]

When Zay in the beginning asked if this was a spoof, it made me think that you should watch Four Lions. It's about a group of terrorists who plan a bomb attack on London, and it's hilarious.

[@giodagrate5369]

The player who was going to assassinate the queen was Hall Of Famer Reggie Jackson and Frank’s love interest is Pricilla Presley, Elvis’ widow.

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

26:03 It's chewing tobacco. I loved the ritual of chewing tobacco. My addiction was long cut Copenhagen. It's an intense buzz.

[@katerinathurnova3385]

hi guys, I enjoy both of you and especially your posts. Thanks for your response to this parody. Leslie nielson is my favorite in this genre 👍😉 And sorry for my english, I'm learning😁

[@TheOneTrueChris]

@3:10 -- "I think that was Putin before that." Remember, this movie was released in 1988, so it wasn't Putin. He would have been a mid-level operative in the KGB at that time, and not of any political fame or importance. As I recall, the leaders at the table were depictions of Khomenei, Khaddafi, Gorbachev, Idi Amin, Yasser Arafat, and a couple of others I don't remember. But all were "enemy" leaders in 1988.

[@Dystopia1111]

If you enjoyed this then I would definitely recommend the sequels. Not quite as great as the original, but decently solid follow-ups with some really funny moments.

[@RicoBurghFan]

All three were great. I think the second one was the funniest.

[@markharris1125]

If I may, from my, British, point of view (not claiming to speak for all of Britain!) this one slows down far too much at the end with interminable baseball. Now, I realise that baseball does go on forever but they didn't have to reflect this in the film. (It would have been the same with a cricket match, they can last five days.) For that reason, I much prefer the sequels!

[@benjones7641]

And the guy in the wheelchair at the end is OJ Simpson.

[@va9967]

He was the same guy the whole time, from the ship to the hospital to that.

[@youravgjoe42]

Glad you both enjoyed this. Airplane, Blazing Saddles, and Naked Gun are all brilliant. I tend to avoid conclusions about which is better and instead put movies in tiers. I put all 3 on the same tier, but note that Blazing Saddles also includes a heavy focus on satire, which is not part of the experience of the other two. I also think which one is better can come down to what mood you are in at showtime!

[@toddjones1480]

Boiling beef used to be very common. There have been times/places where it was, by far, the most common way to cook beef.

[@dubirdrs]

Such a fun movie, and watching you guys enjoy it makes it funnier! Amusing side note, when Leslie Neilson died, there was a sports blog that did an obituary for him as Enrico Palazo, it's awesome!

[@SkullAngel002]

Oh this silliness is the first of a trilogy. Also you have two camps that competed in this genre during the 80's & 90's. The first camp was Abrams & Zucker (who made Airplane & the Naked Gun trilogy) and then you have Mel Brooks (who made Blazing Saddles). So definitely check out both their movies like Naked Gun 2 & 3, Spaceballs (1987), Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993), and Dracula: Dead & Loving It (1994).

[@DNulrammah]

Al, The really tall Lab guy was played by Tint Ron. He appeared in 7 episodes of "Star Trek : Seep Space Nine" as "Maihar'du ". He also played the "Alpha Hirogen Idrin" in an episode of "Star Trek Voyager".

[@marksperry9062]

Both sequels are well worth watching. Watch in order, though the last one is probably better than the second one, and can be standalone films. The actors were mostly serious actors, lending to the dry delivery of the jokes, and better acting in general than usually seen in films like this. Young Frankenstein is probably Brooks best film. Not as many jokes as Blazing Saddles, but a better “film.” It helps if you’ve seen the original 1930’s Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein films, but not required. It does add another layer of appreciation, as certain scenes/elements are direct spoofs (although the plot isn’t exactly the same). They also found a lot of the lab equipment/machines from the original movies and used it in this film. It’s both a spoof and an homage to those films. Get Smart is based on a ‘60’s TV Show called… Get Smart. One of the creators/writers of the original TV series was… Mel Brooks. Pink Panther was a reboot of a series of ‘60’s and 70’s movies.

[@LordLOC]

The original TV show Police Squad lasted barely one season at the time, the network thought people wouldn't be able to keep up with all the gags (it was exactly like this movie) and a TON of the gags in the movie came directly from the show in fact. The sequels are pretty good as well.

[@phoenixfire124]

The funny thing about Leslie Nielson is that he used to be a straight actor. Saw him in a movie where he was the romantic lead. His last straight role was in the "Poseidon Adventure". And his first funny role was "Airplane". The last movie I saw him in was "An American Carol". It was a political spoof. I love him so much. I don't like stupid humor. I love ridiculous humor though (as in, it's funny because it's a ridiculous situation). That can be a very fine line. He threads that line very well. A new very funny movie for some of the same reasons as "Blazing Saddles" and "Naked Gun" is Taika Waititi's "JoJo Rabbit". If you hadn't seen it, I'd highly recommend it. Thank you for another great reaction. So happy I found your channel.

[@mrtim5363]

Almost all reactors see Leslie Nielsen as a comedian who does Naked Gun comedy movies but your comment about his 'serious delivery' was spot on because Leslie Nielsen has decades as a dramatic actor before this movie came about & for the older generation part of the😳Shock.

Back in the seventies, there was a police drama on TV called _The Streets of San Francisco._ Leslie Nielsen did a guest appearance on three episodes of that series. I haven't been able to find them to watch them, but I'm told that he modeled Frank Drebin on the character he played in that series and that watching those episodes now is painful because you keep expecting some funny shit to happen but it never does.

There was a series back in the 60's with this sort of comedy as well called "Get Smart!" that is a real gem in its own right.

[@stephenniehaus8635]

The spoof movies experienced a rebirth in the late 90s with the Scary Movie franchise. The Wayan Brothers became the new Zucker Brothers. Spoof movies were celebrated for another several years before they overstayed their welcome. They started to be pumped out with low effort and lowbrow humor, with movies like Disaster Movie and Superhero Movie and shit like that. This led to dwindling box office sales as everyone was just over it. Hollywood saw this as the demand for spoof being over and stopped redlighting them. We're due for another resurgence. Though Tropic Thunder got close to spoof territory

[@stephenniehaus8635]

At the time, Reggie Jackson, the outfielder, was among the most popular players in baseball

[@firebird7479]

You have to watch the TV series this is based on "Police Squad!". There are only 6 episodes, but they're well worth it. Anybody telling you that you don't need to is doing you a serious injustice.

Lion fish are not that poisonous. When I worked at an aquarium shop when I was much younger, one of my co-workers was trying to bad a Wrasse for a customer, and forgot there was a Lion fish in the 55 gal tank.

I hope you will eventually react to the _Police Squad!_ series. They had a lot of running gags in that series, including the one where he always hits something as he parks his car.

[@TXKafir]

BTW, when ABC canceled the series, they said the reason was that there was so much humor packed into it that the average viewer couldn't keep up. I think the real reason was that it set the bar for TV comedies so high that most of them would pale in comparison.

FYI "Police Squad" was an extremely short-lived Television show (cancelled early due to low ratings) that starred Leslie Nielson and with the SAME format/ humor style as this movie. In an interview, Leslie Neilson explained that the TV show bombed because you had to actually "WATCH" it! You couldn't just "turn off your brain" & "veg out" or play it in the background like most other TV shows. And while people ARE willing to pay rapt attention in the Movie Theatre (or doing reaction videos), the majority were NOT willing to be so focused while relaxing at home & watching TV. (hence the fact that the TV series bombed so badly) IMO, it IS still worth watching the TV series. (AND the sequel Naked Gun movies too)

Hi guys. Really loving your reactions. Looking forward to Young Frankenstein and would put a word in for another Mel Brooks film, High Anxiety, which is a Hitchcock spoof. Also you mentioned Steve Martin's Pink Panther. That was a reboot of an original Peter Sellers film from 1963 which is MUCH better. The Steve Martin version has 21% on rotten tomatoes whereas the original has 89% so if you haven't seen it maybe take a look.

You have to read the credits! There's always something hidden in the credits!

If you boys want to see Steve Martin's inspiration for Pink Panther, you should watch the 1964 movie "The Pink Panther" staring one of the all time great actors Peter Sellers
