[@DieselAndAllie]

Love this movie! This is the one I saw in theaters more than any other movie. The right fielder was Reggie Jackson who was one of the biggest baseball stars back then. The opening sequence was filled with our biggest adversaries at the time. There was also Gorbachev from Russia who was a media darling at the end of the Cold War. The others were some of the biggest villains on the planet at the time (Ayatollah Komeni, Yasir Arafat, Muammar Gaddafi, Idi Amin). So that really set the tone for the rest of the movie back then Watching you ladies watch it for the first time really brought back back some memories of watching it for the first time myself:) Still hoping for reviews of Cannonball Run, Animal House, Caddyshack, and Blues Brothers (they're on a mission from God)😇

For comedies I would highly suggest: Better Off Dead One Crazy Summer Moving Violations How I Got Into College Private School License to Drive

[@WolfHreda]

If you guys want to see Leslie Nielsen dip back into serious just a little, his character in the movie Creepshow (1982) is a surprisingly dark guy. That one is a lot of fun. Written by Stephen King, directed by George A. Romero, effects by Tom Savini, and made in the spirit of classic horror comics like from E.C. It's truly unique and has a pretty solid cast.

[@Cadinho93]

When Leslie Nielsen passed, ESPN published an obituary for the legendary umpire/opera singer, Enrico Pallazzo. It was surprisingly heartwarming and I think Leslie Nielsen would have loved it. Also, Leslie Nielsen was a one of a kind comedian that is missed, but not forgotten.

[@LordVolkov]

"It's Enrico Palazzo!" remains a favorite punchline of mine.

[@jedthementalist5112]

I didn't know about the obituary... thanks, just finished reading it and I agree, very heartwarming. The Naked Gun is up there with the best spoofs, maybe THE best. The obituary has many references to Nielsen's comedy career. I have yet to find a time in my life where I can shout "It's Enrico Pallazzo!"... but I hope to someday.

[@missingnola3823]

I didn't know of the obituary until now, but it is still there and worth the read. Thanks for the tip!

[@DarkPaladin24]

This is one of the movies that you can watch over and over again without getting tired of it. Glad you guys enjoyed it.

Every time I see the “cash exchange “ scene I just laugh hysterically!! I've seen this movie at least 50 times and it just never gets old

[@hebber1961]

Yup. They didn't show it here but the "s*xual assault with a concrete d*ldo" is one that makes me laugh every time too.

Leslie Nielsen was a joker/prankster in real life. Got famous/infamous for carrying around a small fart-noise maker he’d use anywhere including interviews.

This is from a tv series called Police Squad that had six episodes before being cancelled. Each episode featured a special guest star, someone really famous that would die before the opening credits. Very funny and well worth watching if you can find them.

[@dodolurker]

Yes, Police Squad is definitely worth checking out!

Great reaction! Here's another reaction. I met Priscilla Presley in the 1970s. I was supposed to help her fill out a form. I couldn't speak. I couldn't breathe. She was used to that reaction because she said, "Do you want to sit down for a minute?" lol I did!

George Kennedy (Captain Ed) is known for a lot of dramatic pictures (all 3 Airports, Earthquake, The Eiger Sanction with Clint Eastwood, etc) but I find him so funny having grown up watching him in these. He has great little responses and his face is very expressive. "Ted! Why?!"

[@Fast_Eddy_Magic]

I watch the DVD of this with commentary by one of the Zucker brothers. He said they didn't use the same guy from the TV show because the studio wanted an actor who had won an Oscar, so they got George Kennedy. The Z bro said they would probably ask for it back (the Oscar) after this movie. 😂

[@THEBaldEagle1]

4 Airports

[@rickbourne1376]

Leslie Nielsen was in the 1956 Sci Fi movie FORBIDDEN PLANET. It was actually pretty good, and introduced Robbie the Robot.

[@jkirk99]

a cult classic. if you want to see him serious that is it.

[@joshuavanderzee1786]

The Forbidden Planet is an awesome movie :-)

[@kraft75]

Love this movie it’s a classic and its sequels 👍🏽🙏🏽❤️

[@emilykruger2844]

One of my favorite comedies, I love how hilarious the cast are in the film and how hilarious Leslie Nielsen is in the movie

[@McPh1741]

Police Squad was the VERY short lived TV from the early 80s that this movie is based on. It starred Leslie Nielsen also but only lasted a few episodes. The movies were much more successful. Which is crazy because it's the same humor. Police Squad is a spoof of a 1950s police show called "M Squad" which starred Lee Marvin. The POV police siren was taken from that.

[@richardarcher3435]

They made six episodes of Police Squad but they realised that with this kind of humour you need to actually watch it or you'll miss the humour, and apparently Americans at the time did not actually watch TV shows. The TV was on as a kind of background. Transfer the humour to the cinema and you've got your audience trapped then, they actually watch it.

[@DominickRuocco]

These first watches bring back a lot of nostalgia. Another classic film!

[@Jimi-ld2vw]

I had seen Police Squad, the half-hour comedy shorts that preceded the Naked Gun movies. I thought they were wicked funny, so I was sure to be present for the movies. And you're so right about political correctness and the inability to laugh at oneself being the ruin of much comedic material. I enjoyed watching you enjoy it.

[@ForceOfLightEntertainment]

Leslie Nielsen and David Zucker teamed up for one final comedy before Nielsen's death: "An American Carol". Very underrated and well worth checking out for the 4th of July.

Watching the two of you react to this was PURE JOY!!! The Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker team was so important to me in my teens, early 20's, and still is. These guys understood what is funny, and watching both of you react to this really made my day. Thank you! Might I suggest - from the same writing/directing team: The two remaining Naked Gun movies. The television short series about Police Squad. Top Secret! Kentucky Fried Movie. And, both Hot Shots and Hot Shots:Part Deax. All of these movies came from the talented and delightfully demented minds of the movies you have currently reacted to: this one and Airplane!

[@TheChatterer]

I saw this in the theater with friends and family. Laughed so hard we could hardly breath. It's like such ridiculous stuff that you're not ready for.

[@keithmartin4670]

Yes, this role was his last feature film role. He played Nordberg in all 3 Naked Gun movies. The last one opened in March of 1994, and the “unfortunate incident” was in June of that same year. Up until then he was very popular because of his public persona. I never even heard a single thing about his bad side until then.

You Two remind me of why we men or boys try to do comedy, from grade school on. To hear the beautiful laughter of women. Trying to charm, or show off a bit. In 1988, a friend and I watched this hungover, from a wild Saturday Night. Laughed so hard stomach muscles and head hurt even more. This movie still retains its value..You two would fit right into the fun 80's. Remind me of sisters I knew, equally pretty, very similar, but also very unique in your own ways. Movie and you two both, took me back to when, life was much more fun...❤😎.. Thank you.. Lucky are the guys in your lives...

[@ForceOfLightEntertainment]

Thank you!

[@bobstewart8032]

I believe Leslie Nielsen's first comedic role was Airplane. I believe he was an actor since the 1950s. I remember seeing him in 1970s detective shows in serious roles and even played the bad guy. When I watch those shows now and see him, I always expect to hear him or do something funny. Lol

[@darrylhinko5568]

You knew Frank was going to hurt Nordberg at the end because you were paying attention, great reaction as always. My only problem is you cut my favorite line, after the ledge scene when the captain says "sexual assault with a concrete dildo" the incredulity in her voice cracks me up every time. THe other 2 are worth a watch and both Hot Shots are a must. Can't wait for the next reaction.

[@Jordzyi1]

Naked Gun is the most funniest but stupid at the same time, love it lol.

Police Squad was a short-lived TV series in the spring of '82 with pretty much the same cast.

Leslie Nielsen has a lot of great comedies. The Naked Gun trilogy is classic. Spy Hard and Wrongfully Accused are also really funny. The train chase in Wrongfully Accused gets me every time! 🤣

[@merchillio]

5:17 In this case, yes, but “Police Squad”, the tv show it’s based on, was infamous for having a famous guest star being killed in the very first scene

[@mattmid7012]

Great reaction, you are so right, they just don't make movies like this any more, in fact actually funny comedies are sadly very hard to find these days. As to this movie, "My father went the same way!" will never cease to crack me up no matter how many times I watch it! Aside from the already mentioned movies done by the same people which are all really great have you seen any of the Mel Brooks movies? Also I'd like to suggest a fun movie from the 70's called What's Up Doc? with Ryan O'Neal, Barbara Streisand and the brilliant Madeline Khan, which is a really enjoyable funny comedy.

[@Ati-MarcusS]

[@silvasurfa7962]

I first watched this with a religious buddy of mine and his family. I'll never forget it was just me & his Mom who cracked up at the "Nice Beaver." line. I was in tears at her blushing lol Again, highly recommend "Outrageous Fortune" with Bette Midler and Shelley Long. It's hilarious and I know you'll both enjoy it 👍

He also naratated a nature series called Savage Garden. It was about the tiny creatures that inhabit backyards. And yes he did it in a very humorous spooky way 😆

[@xenxander]

in a collage sociology class, I had to demonstrate a folkway.. and I used this small clip from this movie "normally you would not be going 65 down the wrong way of a one way street" and it not only got me laughs but it got me an "A" on the assignment. I had to explain it in full after that and there was a lot more to it than that... but still this was the scene.

[@Torirush1]

The driving instructor was played by John Houseman in one of his last roles given that he passed in 1988, the same year that this movie came out. He had won both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for his portrayal of a Harvard Law School professor in the movie adaptation of The Paper Chase. He also was part of an ensemble cast for Ghost Story (1981) featuring a young Alice Krige as a vengeful apparition seeking her revenge from beyond the grave.

The youngest I've ever seen Leslie Nielsen is in the sci-fi classic FORBIDDEN PLANET (1956). And the NAKED GUN movies began as a series called POLICE SQUAD! that, sadly, only ran for 6 episodes in 1982 before it was cancelled, but found new life as the NAKED GUN movie trilogy.

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 Nielsen's. Leslie Nielsen 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.

The late Leslie Neilson was Canadian. He played a villain in the wester “The Sheepman”, and a straight role as captain of the Poseidon in “The Poseidon Adventure.” And he’s the head (Commander John J. Adams) of a spaceship in “Forbidden Planet”. He’s in a comedy in 1967 “The Reluctant Astronaut” but he’s a straight actor and Don Knotts has the comedy role. 
It’s only in 1980 in “Airplane!” that he does his first comedy, when he’s fifty-four years old!

[@kreese-yi2nb]

The spoof comedy genre had a long good run since 70s through 90s with Mel Brooks comedies, The Big Bus, ZAZ and their associates' efforts and the Wayans family flicks. For me, the final great film of the genre was Scary Movie 2 from 2001. After that, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer took over supreme and ran entire genre to the ground.

[@bobogus7559]

5:46 Those domes are containment vessels for the San Onofre nuclear power plant (which I've gone past on the way to San Diego - the perspective you see them from here is how they appear from the southbound I-5 freeway. However, in this movie wouldn't have had any reason to drive past them because the domes are halfway between LAX and San Diego. They would have to go exceptionally far out of their way to go past it.

Leslie Nielsen was the bad guy in a western called ‘The Sheep Man’, starring Glen Ford. It’s fairly humorous and a fun watch. Also, a lot of spoof movies, especially the Zucker Abraham Zucker movies, have all sorts of funny stuff written into the credits, so watch all the way through for those.
