Sir Leslie appears in Scary Movie 3 (the last worthwhile movie in that franchise) which was produced and directed by the same team that made the Naked Gun series.

[@victornewmanforever]

It's all started in 1982 as a tv series named Police Squad! It was a spoof of a cop show from the 50s called M Squad. They shot 6 episodes, got cancelled and brought the concept back on the big screen with a much better success. The big screen version also uses elements from the gritty cop movies released in the 70s like Dirty Harry or Telefon (both directed by Don Siegel by the way).

😎👍 A lot of people besides me are going to mention this, but it's worth repeating...The next Zucker Zucker & Abrahams film you MUST watch is "Top Secret!" (1984).

The scene of Frank Drebbon doing his acrobatics in his apartment is honestly the best scene in the entire picture for me.

An overlooked spoof movie is Wrongfully Accused (1998). It stars Leslie Nielsen and is written and directed by Pat Proft (one of the writers of the Naked Gun and Hot Shots! films). It is mostly a spoof on "The Fugitive" and "Clear and Present Danger", with bits from "Mission: Impossible", "Baywatch", "North By Northwest" and "Titanic".

There was an earlier movie with this same title in 1956.

Another comment mentioned John Houseman as the driving instructor. Houseman was one of the most significant figures in American theater. Along with Orson Welles he co-founded the Mercury Theatre, and co-produced _Citizen Kane._ He was the first head of the Drama Division at the Julliard School. He founded The Acting Company with members of the first graduating class of the Julliard acting program, including Patti LuPone, Kevin Kline, David Ogden Stiers, and a dozen others. In his long career he produced or directed some forty Broadway plays and thirty-three films. It was only rather late in life that he began acting.

The song played after Frank and Jane fall in love is "Something Good" written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, performed by Herman's Hermits. My favorite part is the baseball game. It was funny the whole time. In the 80's, most people would have recognized the right fielder who tried to kill the queen as Reggie Jackson, a top player at the time and a star on the Angels.

I think you should see the science fiction classic Forbidden Planet if only to appreciate what was perhaps Leslie Nielsen's greatest serious dramatic role. It's amazing that it took so long for anyone at Hollywood to decide that he should try something silly. What really impresses me is rock and roll royalty like Priscilla Presley turning out to be a great comic star in her own right. Johnny English Reborn is another comedy about an incompetent hero type interacting with the Queen. Thanks, Jen!

Those red things were pistachios. Back in the day, imported pistachios were dyed red when shipped and often left a little bit of dye on your fingers and mouth (not nearly as much as they had on them). The gun the bad guy had was a micro uzi.

[@taputechnic]

I also recommend the Police Squad series that these movies were based on. The series was cancelled after only 6 episodes; the show was ahead of its time in my opinion. The pilot is a little uneven, but the series quickly hits its stride. They have to pack their jokes into only 22 minutes per episode, so it's non-stop gags. I also second Top Secret. It's my favorite of the slapstick movies from this era.

[@mblackwl]

Oh, thank you, Jen. You are the first reactor in quite a long while who has actually recognized who the world leaders are in the opening bit. Most of the young pups don't even seem to recognize them. Ricardo Montablan's gun was a Micro Uzi. And yes, those were all actual famous sports broadcasters, and the players were all actual players. Especially Reggie Jackson, who was one of the biggest baseball players in the US for a time. For good baseball flicks, The Natural, Bull Durham, For the Love of the Game, and of course, Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch.

[@PreRockDoc]

"Nordberg" was a large billboard on some kind of factory visible when driving south on I-43 towards Chicago near Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA. I always had assumed it was the name of the plant. The guys who wrote this movie - Zucker, Abraham's, Zucker - grew up in Shorewood, WI, which is also on I-43 but just North of Milwaukee, WI. As kids, for some inexplicable reason, we thought the Nordberg sign was funny. I assume that ZAZ thought the same thing and used it in this movie. I assume, I do not know.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

5:08 "'Nordberg.' What kind of _name_ is that?" Well, that part's actually kind of odd. It's German. It means "north mountain." I know, because I've been studying German, and one method I've been employing is taking kids movies that I know and watching them in German. You know the movie _Frozen?_ The German-dubbed translation for that title is _Die Eiskönigin._ There's a scene in the movie that has the younger sister, Anna, at a shop in the woods, crossing paths with a mountaineer named Kristoff. The shop owner asks Kristoff where the sudden cold snap is coming from and he replies, "From the north mountain." That scene, with the German dubbing on, has him replying, "Von Nordberg." This method of taking kids movies (specifically _kids_ movies) and watching them in a language you're trying to learn is a method I heartily recommend. This way, each word, the moment you hear it, is anchored to an emotionally significant scene, and because it's a kid's movie, the grammar and syntax are simpler.

Don't know if you noticed but these movies (Airplane, Naked Gun, Hot Shots) always have jokes hidden in the credits. The NG sequels are definitely worth watching. And Hot Shots. Airplane sequels...not as much, but they have their moments.

I used go to Angels games all the time as a kid in the 80s - we lived ten minutes from the stadium! The player programmed to kill was Hall-of-Famer Reggie Jackson.

6:18 as someone who has worked a sound board for large meeting a press events this has happen to me twice. You are listening at all the channels so you can hear the speaker and then this happens. You jump up and make sure all the channels are down and that it is not going to tape or out over the house sound. then you turn off you solo so that you don’t have to hear it.
