+Rawk4Life ..........They are currently making the sequel without the late Leslie Nielson. It's called "The Naked Gun: The Panty Droppers". I can't wait to see it !!
Actually, there will be a Naked Gun reboot before too long. Ed Helms is slated to play Frank Drebin, and it will play out as more of a sequel than a remake.
I like the gag when he’s going to ask a woman suspect some questions. He pulls out a pack cigarettes and says to her, “Cigarette?”, and she says, “Yes it is”.
You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as possible, we've got to get them to the hospital. . . Elaine : A hospital . . what is it? Rumack : Its a big building with patients, but that's not important right now. Tell the captain I must speak to him. Elaine : Certainly. Oever : Victor, we're running into some heavy weather . . . can you ( Victor passes out ) Roger! Take OVER! Rumack : Captain, how soon can you land? Oever : I can't tell. Rumack : You can tell me, I'm a doctor. Oever : NO, I mean I'm just not sure. Rumack : Well, can't you take a guess? Oever : Well, not for another 2 hours. Rumack : You can't take a guess for another 2 hours?
@@The_dude_fantastic I’ve done that, taken two hours to make a guess or decision lol. So technically it’s right, I can’t say, for two hours! I was over Roger and he was under Dunne
Leslie Nielsen, the man who could sound completely serious when he spoke and yet be totally hilarious with the things he said. May he rest in peace and do a fart joke in heaven.
"Like a blind man at an orgy, I was going to have to feel things out." And: "Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes" - delivered with Nielsen's inimitable straight face. Classic
These are all great, but my favorite is where he tells his would-be assassin at the packing plant, "I'm sorry, I can't hear you. Don't fire the gun while you're talking".
“She reminded me of my mother all right.” How could you skip the follow up line?? “Jesus Frank, you’re staring at her like she’s your mother for god sakes!”
One of my favourites: Jane, since I've met you, I've noticed things that I never knew were there before... birds singing, dew glistening on a newly formed leaf, stoplights.
I read an anecdote once that may have provided the inspiration for that joke. A legendary bank robber was about to be executed by firing squad and was asked if he had any last requests; he said "I'd like a bullet-proof vest." If true, that seems like the same kind of logic as asking for the gun from the Drebin scene.
I love when Frank says to Robert Goulet that "he's been dating too, an author. She wrote the book on male sexual dysfunction. You've probably read it." Lmao.
The sperm bank scene where he's explaining the football injury is still my favorite part. The facial reactions from the nurse just cracks me up every time!
"It's like the arduous task of sex. It seems to go on forever and just when you think things are going your way, nothing happens". GREATEST QUOTE EVER!!
When Jane tells Frank she's a very lucky woman, his delivery of the response "So am I" is just freaking perfect! Leslie Nielsen had such a brilliant ability to deliver utterly nonsensical lines in a deadly serious and sincere fashion. Thanks for uploading these, really made me laugh!
3 years ago but I feel compelled to share a bit of my awkwardness I experience often. Cashier at a restaurant finishing transaction: Your change and enjoy your meal, sir. Me: Thank you, you too. (I guess I expect them to say: your change and have a nice day.)
The writers must have loved him too. No piece of toilet humour was too childish and immature and no dad joke too lame for Leslie Nielsen, he turned it all into comedy gold.
Leslie Nielsen said near the end of his life that it took him 40 years as a dramatic actor to find out how funny he was. That being said, we need more umps like Frank Drebin.
yeah, watch the original Posiedon Adventure, he plays the captain of the ship, he goes down with the ship in the accident but all his dalog was serious I kept expecting some funny quip and never happens, every time i see the movie it's like that, expect something funny, never happens...great movie though....better than Titanic cus no forced romance story in there, just a small group of people who fight to survive....
I saw Poseidon Adventure the original when I was a kid, love that movie, years later i see it again as an adult the there Leslie is as the captain of the ship and I expect something funny and no he's serious and I remember oh yes he was a serious guy before being in police squad & Airplane.... still even the little bit of screen time he had in Poseidon was good....good actor serious or funny IMO
He did a advert for beer years ago on Brit TV. Red rock " it's not red and there's no rocks in it" it doesn't seem funny but he was Frank D in the advert it worked :)
I'm aware that sometimes we can feel nostalgia in older things, that it was just "better" back then. But something about the comedy back then really did hit different, I miss it.
Surprised you didn't use quotes from the Police Squad series because there's loads of great quotes in that such as "We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then."
I once met Leslie Nielsen in a bistro on Sunset Blvd where my pals and I used to enjoy Sunday brunch. I told him I used to sit with my Dad watching him in any number of 60's detective series...He was in every one. I asked him if he had increased his income by 100x since those days and he just smiled and shook my hand.
My fave scene is near the start of the first movie, where Drebin breaks up a meeting of leaders hostile to the USA. In the middle of the fight, he puts Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in a headlock, grabs a hankie, wipes the birthmark off Gorbachev's forehead, and says, "I *thought* so!"
I remember one where he needs to get into an event and tells security he’s Frank Drebin, to which the guy responds sarcastically “right, I’m Robert DeNiro”, to which Frank replied in a serious manner, “Mr DeNiro, I have to get in there” He didn’t know who DeNiro was!! 😂😂😂😂😂
The "Cuban?" "No Dutch Irish my father was from Wales" I remember seeing that in the theater when it came out and everyone was laughing so hard ,I practically needed oxygen.That is the best line! Haha
Naked Gun will forever be the greatest, the writer and director were genius and Leslie delivers them perfectly. A symphony that could only work so well when all the musicians are in place.
I still think one of the funniest parts was in the first Naked Gun where he left his microphone on going to the bathroom when the Mayor was trying to speak. That always gets me rolling.
2:42 😂 I love how it sounded like he was going to correct himself but instead doubled down on how pleasurable it is to blow someone away with a .44 magnum.😂
How have you not got- “I was the drummer for the Osmonds” “Screw around with me and he’ll make you feel pain like you can’t even imagine” “I know, I remember the Osmonds” 🤣
Im still waiting for the day when I can tell someone "The truth hurts! Sure, maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it still does!"
My favourite all timer: "I know it's difficult answering questions at a time like this, Ma'am. We would have come sooner except your husband wasn't dead then".
ru-vid.com/group/PL5KdeMo5Dvre5KMUWE16OMWPEl4UQroUG - thumbs up to all three of you. I heave some Drebin inspiration upcoming music videos. 5:48 speech with OJ to his left is wild. Love and Peace yallzz!
I met him at the state capital when I was 18. I was working there and was cussing this desk I was working on, turned around and he was standing right behind me laughing. I couldn’t believe it. He’s just like this in real life. Made me laugh and took a picture with me.
Leslie Neilson was a legend and losing him made the world a much colder place. Thankfully his legend lives on through the laughter and fun he gave us in his films and tv series.
How come this amazing quote wasn't in the video: Mayor: Drebin, I don't want any more trouble like you had last year on the southside. Understand? That's my policy. Frank: Yes. Well, when I see 5 weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That's my policy. Mayor: That was a Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar, you moron! You killed 5 actors! Good ones!
What about. . . Drebin: Thats the Red Light District, I wonder why Savage is hanging out down there. Hocken: Sex, Frank ? Drebin: Errr. . .no not right now Ed, we got work to do.
ohhh R.I.P. Leslie Nielsen, one of the best comedians, and without meaning it!! he was so Fucking seriously funny. sure you ll make God smile upthere Leslie. thanks for the laughter.
I saw The Naked Gun when I was in law school. My buddies and I were studying for finals and we were totally stressed out. We decided to catch the 10:00 pm showing of the movie at our local theater. There were maybe ten people in the theater, total. We cracked up - the greatest stress reliever ever. We all aced our finals the next day. Great memories.
The scene where he was hanging on the outside of the building by a statue’s penis nearly killed me. I laughed so hard that I never thought I’d breathe again. I had to be within a second or two of passing out before I finally got control of myself 🤣
"Everywhere I look, something reminds me of her." "I guess it's true what they say, Cops and women don't mix. Like Eating a spoonful of Drain-O, sure it will clean you out.....but it will leave you hollow inside." "I love being single! I haven't had this much sex since I was a Boy-Scout leader!.....I mean...at the time, I was dating a lot....." Pretty good list.
Missed one of my favorite lines of the series: Jane: "... he was a white guy, with a mustache, about six foot three..." Frank: "That's an awfully big mustache."
@@HiVizCamo What ever happened to the term, "GET OVER IT!" ? That is what people really need to do, just get over the "Everything is an insult and offends me!" B.S.!
From airplane but still one of my all time favorites ... Can you fly this plane and land it. Shirley you can't be serious ? I am serious and don't call me Shirley. The amount of times I've worked that Shirley line into a conversation over my lifetime hahaha
