The Naked Gun (1988) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@DavidTheHypnotist]

Leslie Nielsen was one of the greatest actors we’ve ever had! His timing was perfect!

[@Lewis9700]

17:24 - you guys missed that joke when she asked "Goodyear?" in response the blimp accident story, and he said "no, the worst". Goodyear is a huge American Tire Company, but they're also famous for their blimps/zeppelins which are used to provide overhead shots of football games

[@lizd2943]

A British person questioning if Monty Python is British. I am officially old.

[@Dystopia1111]

49 and American - how do I know classic British comedy better than these 2? Yeah, old.

[@creinicke1000]

Back in the day it was so hillarious. The actor was important because he was known for serious roles before the spoof films like this and airplane.

[@michaelstach5744]

Leslie Nielsen was in the sci-fi movie Forbidden Planet, the disaster flic Poseidon Adventure, and the romance Tammy and the Bachelor.

[@jdnaz1288]

@@michaelstach5744 He was also in the "Something to Tide You Over" segment of Creepshow, with Ted Danson.

[@gdbaradit]

back in the day?! BACK IN THE DAY?!!??!!? it's still hillarious to this day!!!!!!!!!

[@michaelstach5744]

Police Squad was a short lived tv series. It may have been too unique for network television.

[@scottstewart5784]

Exactly. Another was SLEDGE HAMMER.

[@SGlitz]

​@@scottstewart5784but Sledge lasted 2seasons because ABC had "nothing else"😅

[@johncurtis5948]

My favorite sledge episode was when they got the amish to arm themselves

[@bobbuethe1477]

​@johncurtis5948 Yes! That episode was titled "Witless," a spoof of the Harrison Ford movie "Witness."

[@haveanicedave1551]

I watched the Police Squad show during its original run, but it grew old real fast.

[@subitman12]

Monty Python and the Flying Circus was a British comedy show with skits. The skits were pretty funny with their absurd and intelligent humor. They also did movies. The best one is Monty Python and the Holy Grail where medieval British knights try to find the grail that Jesus Christ used in the last supper.

[@ThunderPants13]

The fireworks store exploding almost happened to me when I was 18. That summer I worked at a big fireworks store just outside of town and our supervisor used to let us shoot off a few fireworks in the early morning hours before the store opened. One time we were standing there with the double doors of the store open watching a large batch of jumping jacks go off, when several of them shot inside the store, spraying sparks everywhere. In my head, I flashed to the "Nothing to see here" scene from Naked Gun. Luckily, we got them put out before the whole store went up!

[@kevinnorwood8782]

Thank you VERY MUCH for including the entire scene of Leslie Nielson jumping around his apartment. I absolutely love that stunt scene so much, because its transitions are just so damn smooth. You literally can't see where Leslie Nielson ends and his stunt actor begins, and vice versa.

[@isaacs3822]

The beauty of the ZAZ movies like Airplane, Naked Gun and Hot Shots are that they’re so dense with jokes that you do miss some that you catch on rewatch. They just don’t make comedies like this anymore, they use stupidity in the most brilliant way 😂

[@corinnepmorrison1854]

Great comment!! 👍🏻

[@godbluffvdgg]

Poor OJ...The part on the ship was hilarious when I saw it in the theater...One of the last great parody movies.

[@lianabaddley8217]

Jane was Priscilla Presley. As in the ex-wife of Elvis Presley. And the Vincent guy was on a show called Fantasy Island.

[@Fast_Eddy_Magic]

The look on her face when they showed the full body condoms! 😂

[@justwondering5651]

The opening scene wasn't a random collection of bad guys. It was a rogue's gallery summit meeting of 1970s-era dictators. Idi Amin, president of Uganda. Yasser Arafat, head of the PLO. Muammar Gaddafi, prime minister of Lybia. Mikhail Gorbachevv, president of the Soviet Union (got his birthmark rubbed off). Ayatollah Khomeini, religious and political head of Iran (doubtful he ever sported an orange mohawk). How and why a local city cop got involved remains one of life's great mysteries.

[@williampilling2168]

Based on a short lived, by American standards, TV show, Police Squad. The show that was infamously canceled for being too funny. An ABC executive noted that, during focus group testing, people were laughing so much at one joke, they would miss the next joke. He felt it wouldn't work with American audiences, and was concerned, that because of a running gag that Dreben would hit a number of trash cans depending on the episode number, viewers had to watch it in order to get the joke. So for that reason, it was canceled.

[@looneytoon76]

short lived meaning 6 episodes

[@randalmayeux8880]

Hi guys! Yes, Monty Python was definitely British. In fact it was the first English comedy show to be aired in the US on public broadcasting. Me and all of my friends loved it, still do in fact.

[@Fast_Eddy_Magic]

I couldn't wait to see how you guys would react to the Queen sliding down the table with "Frank" on top of her. 😂

[@greenbeech3055]

The right-fielder was Reggie Jackson, a very famous baseball player back in the day.

[@fredrodnick2881]

When the jokes are without words, they call them sight gags.

I would love to see Blazing Saddles again.

[@randalmayeux8880]

Yeah, anything by Mel Brooks is great!

[@kathybouziane5269]

Young Frankenstein

[@manjisaipoe517]

Leslie Nielsen is considered a comedic actor now, but he was originally a leading man in some large movies. If you have never seen Forbidden Planet, he was the lead actor, and Captain of the spacecraft. This movie was also the launch of Robby the Robot's fame, Robby later appeared on the Lost In Space tv series. Peace.

[@PapaEli-pz8ff]

He also guest starred on several television shows such as Perry Mason. I must remind some of you viewers that Ed was played by Academy Award winner, George Kennedy who also played tough guys and criminals in film and television roles. This my first time seeing him in a comedy role.

[@EDKsurly]

As an early teen, me and dad used to love watching this movie.

[@SkullAngel002]

24:54 - Chewing tobacco (aka smokeless tobacco) has been a tradition among baseball players for the longest time. Instead of smoking it, the tobacco is placed between the cheek and gums. The spitting you're seeing is the side effect which is a buildup of saliva from chewing.

[@neutrino78x]

lmao love this movie. This is one of the best genres for "reactions" because a funny movie is even funnier with the youtube laughing along with you lol

[@debraleesparks]

O.J. Was in the series “Roots”.. THAT and this was before he was a murderer. Roots is one the the best series ever made. Love Grandma Debbie

[@marksmith4892]

LOL that first joke where OJ Simpson kept banging his head into stuff and falling into wet paint was an exaggeration of the common movie scene where a person first gets shot and then experiences a double-whammy of falling over the edge of a building, or getting his by a bus, or having a pile of bricks fall on top of him. Movies would do this to increase the dramatization of the action scene. In this case, the double-whammies just kept going on and on and on with increasing absurdity hahahahahaah we lost Leslie Neilson WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY too soon! He was the BEST comedian

[@Osprey850]

They do it again with Ludwig's death at the end.

[@mortensen1961]

@@Osprey850: "My father died the same way!"

[@rs-ye7kw]

Besides the Monty Python similarities mentioned by others, I also saw many things in this movie that reminded me of another British comedian; remember the "Benny Hill Show"?

[@michaelbuhl4250]

Monty Python has one American member, but the rest of them are British. They started with a BBC television show called Monty Python's Flying Circus. If you're looking for comedies that are a little less cheesy and gag oriented, maybe you could try *O Brother, Where Art Thou* or *Little Miss Sunshine* .

[@pillarwatch]

Surely you can't be serious. I am serious and don't call me Shirley. Famous quote from Airplane.

[@adamclifton29]

It always makes me sad to see younger people reacting to this movie not recognizing that the 'bad guys' at the start in Beirut were based on real people back in the day. Yasser Arafat from Palestine for example

[@KenHenderson-n1c]

This is from the same guys who made Airplane! They did two more Naked Gun movies. But they also did a bit more sophisticated comedy called Ruthless People. I highly recommend it!

[@ziusthefirst5387]

"Oh Frank everyone should have a friend like you" always cracks me up.

[@Momsbasement354]

Yes, Monty Python is British, you’ll like The search for the holy grail. You should also watch Hot Shots. It’s a parody of Top Gun so if you haven’t seen Yop Gun, watch that first.

[@wheelmanstan]

Hey that police commissioner is Tony Soprano's mom. Haha, I just realized that after all these years.

[@nathanlindahl8336]

Monty Python and the holy grail Is a MUST! Especially for 2 Brits such as yourselves. Classic British comedy!

[@eTraxx]

Seriously? Is Monty Python British? .. is the Pope Catholic? Was Queen Elizabeth I British? Does gravity make things fall down? Is English spoken in Britain? Was Monty Python arguably the greatest comedy troupe that ever drew breath British? REALLY?

[@TheBeesleys99]

We just have never seen it so not 100% sure :D This is why we are doing movie reactions aha!

[@Ivansyoykov]

😂" English... spoken in Britain" ever been to London??

[@totomomo18]

Great movie. This movie is base on short lived 6 episode tv series that was ahead of its time. You should also watch Top Secret 1984 from the same directors

[@michaelward5302]

It was very over the top. I think James liked it more than you Millie because of how cheesy it was. Isn't he the one who likes all the cheese.(get it😉).

[@TheBeesleys99]

That was good ahah!

[@cliffcannon]

What would now be killer would be for you to review _Forbidden Planet_ (1956, a brilliant science fiction adaptation of the Shakespeare play _The Tempest)_ with Leslie Nielsen in a serious leading role. Everyone was surprised at his excellence as a comic actor (in _Airplane, The Naked Gun, Dead And Loving It)_ because he had previously been so good in straight dramatic roles ... you may find yourself waiting (completely out of the timeline) for him to say, "And don't call me Shirley."

[@MichaelScheele]

Did James really ask if Monty Python is British? Aside from Terry Gilliam, every member of Monty Python is British. At a minimum, you need to watch "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and "The Life of Brian". They are near the apex of British comedy. Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker are American. Leslie Nielsen was Canadian. Ricardo Montalbán was Mexican (though he lived in the US). OJ Simpson starred in three Naked Gun movies before his turn to infamy.

[@DoctorVell]

When you do the sequels...WATCH AND READ THE CREDITS

[@lnwolf41]

Hi, FYI, the opening scene were all of the various dictators from the 70's in the middle east.

[@l.piloto7964]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie, I have seen dozens of times, with both (or is it 3) of you. Your reactions to it made me feel like if it was first time and better than that more fun than my actual first time watching it. You were both very entertaining but when you wife saw the first few hyperbolic skits the look was priceless especially the safe sex scene. Had a lot of fun thank you so much you two.🥰

[@BryanHilliard]

This movie is one of those movies you watch it again and again and the more you watch it it gets funnier. Also when you think back on the things in the movie at a later date it is so funny it sticks with you and you don't mind watching it again a few years later

[@Fatherofheroesandheroines]

Surely you jest....and don't call me Shirley.

[@michaelward5302]

Now that you've done one that's up James's Alley. The next one should be for Millie. Do Ghost with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. It's a murder love story. By the way, Monty Python is British.

[@frankisfunny2007]

28:44.... that's Reggie Jackson. He was one of the most iconic baseball players of the 1970s! This was the next to last team he played for, the California Angels. (1982-'86) By the time "Naked Gun" was released, Reggie had been retired for a year.

[@jamesmorgan9280]

Laurel & Hardy were a comedy team in the late 1920s, through the 1930s, and into the '40s. They were great at slapstick comedy. They had short films, such as "Helpmates", "Busy Bodies", "Sons of the Desert". There are many more. They would be great to review.

[@robertthomas583]

The Seattle Mariners stadium is, if I remember, where "The Wave" originated. And the sportscasters and most of the players were the real deal, including the assassin, Reggie Jackson, a very famous ball player. A lot of the jokes were probably tricky because of the time and that a lot of them might not have made sense to non-Americans as well.
