THE NAKED GUN 2 ½ (1991) was Funny!! - Movie Reaction - FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@RolyPolyOllieReactions]

Not as funny as the first one but still with some good gags! A lot more visual and background gags to look for and so many of them were so funny! It was also a pleasure seeing Frank again and his shenanigans. Well, onto the 33rd one sometime soon! Thanks for watching! Have a great day! :)

The paintings were of various disasters including the Chicago Fire, the Hindenberg, the Titanic, and finally 1988 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis implying that his candidacy was also a disaster.

[@tempsitch5632]

General Schwarzkopf lead america in starting WW3 - aka “the Iraq War”.

[@iangrant3615]

Glad you enjoyed it. All three are fun, although they get a little less funny/well made as the trilogy goes along. Still worth a watch. Hope your tongue gets better soon.

[@bobbuethe1477]

That wasn't Mr. Rogers. It was Michael Dukakis, who ran a disastrous presidential campaign in 1988.

[@mattstanford9673]

There will never be another who can top Leslie's deadpan delivery of the most absurd lines.

[@trekkiejunk]

It's kinda nice to know that our continent has moved so far away from cigarette smoking, that our college kids don't even recognize an ashtray, and just think it's a box. Love you, Ollie.

[@neon72]

The guy in the wheel chair you noticed (Richard Griffiths) he played Harry Potter’s uncle Vernon.

[@randallwong7196]

Hot Shots and Hot Shots Part Deux! are similar movies to this style.

[@E_y_a_l]

The president was played by an imitator of George H. W. Bush who was the US president at the time, the exaggerated hands movements was one of his signature moves.

[@BigGator5]

"That's the red light district. I wonder why Savage is hanging out down there." "Sex, Frank?" "Uh... no, not right now, Ed. We've got work to do." Fun Fact: The opening credits sequence ends with Zsa Zsa Gabor slapping the police car. This spoofs a 1989 incident in which Gabor was arrested for slapping a police officer. Automobile Enthusiast Fact: The electric car shown during the secret meeting is real. It is a 1986 Pontiac Fiero and was never mass produced. It has a top speed of 75 miles per hour and a max range of 50 miles. Hot Take Fact: "Weird Al" Yankovic had a brief role as a thug who holds the police at the precinct at gunpoint. In the scene, he says, "Okay, Pigs, say your prayers!" followed by an oblivious Frank slamming the door open and knocking Yankovic's character to the floor. Yankovic said it took more than twenty takes to get the scene done and his leg had turned "a nice shade of purple" after about sixteen takes. The stunt coordinator asked Yankovic at that point if he wanted to wear some padding. Yankovic also recalled that O.J. Simpson felt sorry for him.

I gives me endless pleasure seeing young ones today unable to recognize an ashtray.

[@randallwong7196]

"What's his hand movements for?" He just moved his hands a lot while speaking.

[@WUStLBear82]

The photo of the man in the blues bar you didn't recognize was Michael Dukakis, the governor of Massachusetts who lost the 1988 presidential election to George H. W. Bush by 426-111 electoral votes, hence fitting the disaster theme. Then at the very end they threw in another joke about when will the Democrats nominate someone worth voting for (1992, as it turned out). Dukakis also happened to be a cousin of actress Olympia Dukakis, who did win in 1988--the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, in _Moonstruck_ . The guy with the _To Serve Man_ book screaming that it was a cookbook was your famous fellow Canadian Lloyd Bochner, referencing a classic 1962 episode of _The Twilight Zone_ in which he starred.

[@tylerlucas3752]

I love your reactions Oliver. Your laugh is contagious. I’ve seen this movie many times, so I know all the gags already… but your reactions to them make the experience of watching them again even more fun. Hope your tongue heals soon. I hate when that happens.

[@SugarGee]

That picture in the bar wasn't Mr. Rogers. It was Michael Dukakis, who was the democratic nominee for president in 1988. He got trounced by George Bush Sr in that election and was subsequently the butt of many jokes.

[@jeremyevans9521]

This was the first PG-13 movie I was allowed to watch by myself in a movie theater. I just turned 13 and mom said I could. I was a bit young to get some of the jokes but I still thought it was hilarious. Can't wait to see your reactions to some more of Leslie Neilson's movies. "Wrongfully Accused" and "Spy Hard" are two other funny movies of his. For a change of flavor, if you want to see Leslie in a serious role, the movie "Forbidden Planet" is a good one.

[@headrushindi]

The Actor in the wheelchair that you recognized is Richard Griffiths. He played Harry Potters horrible Uncle in the Potter films.

[@vonkroenen]

The look on Mrs. Mandela's face, trying not to laugh when the lemon landed on her head. This was a really funny movie, the Naked Gun movies were parodies done right.

[@tempsitch5632]

@21:10 They do the trick cigar gag in Top Secret !

[@les4767]

The picture after the Titanic was US Presidential candidate Michael Dukakis. Bush crucified him in the election.

[@oldstrawhat4193]

The President and first lady in this film are Barbara and George H. W. Bush (the first Pres. Bush, the father of Pres. George W. Bush.) The imitation of Bush's hands is spot on.

[@trekkiejunk]

It wasn't Mister Rogers. It was Michael Dukakis. He was the Democratic candidate for US president in 1988. He was ahead in the polls for most of the year, but after a couple of poor choices late in the campaign, his numbers dropped considerably, and he lost to George Bush in a landslide. The joke is that the photos on the wall are great promises for the future which ended in disaster. Dukakis could have been a great president, until he tanked his campaign.

[@satanclaus8381]

Dr. Meinheimer was also Harry Potter's uncle.

[@blackBrainySmurf]

Your face when he said "love pudding" was priceless!🤣🤣❤️❤️

[@brettg274]

A “grip” is actually an industry term for a film crew member, they usually are working equipment like lighting and camera dollies, etc.

[@tempsitch5632]

They have good hands.

[@trekkiejunk]

If someone gave me 1,000 guesses as to how the sentence, "I'm sorry if i'm slurring, but...." would end, i never would have guessed what you said. That sounds awful, and i'm so sorry that happened. At least you got to watch a funny movie!

[@christinejalandoni5919]

Leslie is a legend 😂

[@totomomo18]

Great movie. After you finish the trilogy you should also see Top Secret 1984 another spoof movie from the same directors . The scene with pottry is a spoof on the Movie Ghost 1990 which you should also see.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

Your cat in your pocket is looking at me. 😅

[@plastique45]

"To Serve Man" is a reference to a classic The Twilight Zone episode. I won't say more as you DEFINITELY should watch some of them in the future, best TV Show ever produced.

[@daveb9920]

That's an awfully big mustache 🤣

[@nathanfitzgerald6651]

Hi Ollie! I'm pleased that from your Patreon you're doing the two most heavyweight, emotionally intense, highly detailed Treks: The Doomsday Machine & Journey to Babel. I officially predict you'll like them at least as much as Balance of Terror & City/Edge/Forever, and maybe even more! Heehee, see how well I've noticed your Star Trek personal tastes bro? I accurately predicted that "First Contact" would your favorite of the Trek feature films.

[@nathancruz9172]

Can’t wait to see you react the third movie.

[@v8matey]

Whats that 4th poster far right one on the wall behind you.

[@randallwong7196]

The movie was made by the brother of the director of Ghost ( mentioned in advertising ) so why not have a Ghost moment.

[@FrethKindheart]

The last picture in the depressing bar was of Mike Dukakis, a Democrat Presidential candidate who ran in 1988 along with running mate Lloyd Bentsen. He tried, but most people thought he had zero personality, thus his inclusion in the bar photos.

[@CrownlessKing88]

Never thought I’d hear you say Portuguese Butt Blaster. Lol

[@adamhickey396]

I recently bought the CD to this film just so I could own the epic Drebin:Hero score!

[@v8vrooooom]

Love the Naked Gun/Zucker films, keep it up!!!

[@erichfellehner7449]

the guy in the wheelchair is from Harry Potter

[@Taramw32]

The President that they where Spoofing Was George H W Bush who did talk with his hands but it was of course exaggerated in this movie

[@nedrini1055]

Naked gun, 33 1/3 next?

[@tempsitch5632]

Curious, did you eat wafers without getting any crumbs on you ?

[@richnorcal]

Hey Ollie, oh man sorry about your injury..sucks (no pun intended) cause there's nothing you can do but let it heal, fortunately mouth injuries heal faster but you're gonna very uncomfortable for a few days. Take some days off, don't increase the pain by talking a lot..all the shows and movies will be here when you get better, wish I knew something to suggest...feel better kind sir

[@bigjsmashman4958]

Harry Potters uncle.

[@firebird7479]

You haven't watched the movie that started it all..."Airplane! "?

[@Jerry11405]

you should do a movie reaction to george of the jungle or baby's day out

[@skywaymanaz]

George H.W. Bush would at times use his hands to make a point. I’m sure it was exaggerated by his look a like actor. I’m sure the no pants guy is making fun of how hospital gowns look from behind. The bus to Detroit I half wonder if that’s a reference to The Big Bus. A nuclear powered bus that can go coast to coast nonstop! OJ might be stuck on that bus until Detroit. Maybe not but the environmental themes make me suspect that was the intent. It was a comedy disaster movie.

[@tempsitch5632]

Stop saying “I’m sure” when so wrong.

[@skywaymanaz]

@@tempsitch5632 surely you can’t be serious.

[@tempsitch5632]

@@skywaymanaz I am. And stop calling me, “can’t be serious”.

[@daniellaplume3840]

I like you t shirt and to hear you talk about hurting your tongue was painful 😖 get better

[@rubiginosaa]

I'd say the third one is better than the second one so I think you'll enjoy it :) another good classic comedy I think you should react to is Rat Race (2001)
