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.

"You SHOT five actors! Good ones!" I don't know why that final qualifier always cracks me up.

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.

"Use your open eye Frank" that dumb joke gets me chuckling every time.

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

Dang these girls are Jaw Droppers!😃

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

I grew up with these movies. My dad was much more into comedies rather than the drama. I understand him now.

Leslie Nielsen was comedic genius.

I've seen many reactions to this film, but never have I seen such genuine laughter and Joy. ladies you got me laughing. Thank you and Cheer's Gorgeous Ladies 🇬🇧

"HEY, IT'S ENRICO PALAZZO..." 😂😂

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.

I wish they still made movies like this

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.

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?!"

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Ahhhh... nothing is quite as entertaining as watching two lovely women laughing hysterically at a ridiculously hilarious movie! Loved every minute with you today. 😊

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!

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!

The brutal slapstick OJ and dock worker bribery scenes are two of my all time favorite comedy bits. Another great reaction!

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! 🤣

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

Saw it in the theater in 1988 when I was 15. Still hysterical today. Keep going. The next two are great also 👍🏼

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

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

Love this! I didn't even know you two were sisters until your recent live stream. Seeing your reaction to this was worth its weight in gold. Very entertaining - thank you!

You're one of the very few reactors who figured out that Frank and the Queen had a different position on each picture 😂😅

14:18 the pillow gag was from the first episode (A Broken Promise) of Police Squad (a wig is thrown at Frank for the same effect).

"Naked Gun" reactions don't get old. What a nice pair to watch. I'm subscribing.

Now you need to see Naked Gun 2 and 3 😅. Great reaction ladies.

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.

This movie was so fun and never gets old. Great reaction.

Great reactions, ladies! Really glad you enjoyed it! One of my faves from back when I was a kid (though I shouldn't have been watching it when I was that young, LOL).

I wish I could erase my memory and watch The Naked Gun for the first time once more. I still laugh my butt off, but the first time I was about to die from laughter.

Saw it in Theater it a lot of fun! Leslie Nielsen really adapted to comedy well.

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

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.

..."Bingo!" pulls out a bingo card 🤣

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

“Nice beaver!” 😂😂

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 😆

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.

I first saw this during HALO school at Ft. Bragg in 1988. My jump buddy (Kevin Dukes) and I each took in three Foster's oil cans. We laughed our asses off.

21:35 shnookilumps was from the episode Terror in the Neighbourhood(Rendezvous at Big Gulch)

"It's Enrico Pallazo!" (For some reason I love that joke so so much). 🤣

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

I love how much you two enjoy what you enjoy! Nothing better than fun with siblings!😊

Cop shows on TV were very popular and in abundance for decades. The Naked Gun movie is a spoof on those shows. Tough talking detectives, passing money for information, and parking the squad car in dramatic fashion. Stuff like that.

Priscilla Presley in the kitchen boiling the roast is a reference to the famous Glenn Close bunny boiler scene in "Fatal Attraction" (1987)

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.

Another fantastic film with Leslie Nielsen is "Dracula: Dead and Loving It", I think you would really like this one.

This Music in the Hotel kills me!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's a 5!!! It's a 5!!! It's a 5!!! You can watch this film over....and over.....and over. You'll see how you fall in love with everyone and and every scene. TOP DRAWER COMEDY....FOREVER!!!!

Nielsen was also the Captain of Poseidon ship!

You should check out Leslie Nielsen in 1956 Forbidden Planet a sci-fy film ahead of it's time. Other highly recommended comedies 1980 Used Cars, 1981 Stripes, 1979 The Jerk, and 1977 Smokey and the Bandit.

The thing about the Airplane/Naked Gun series is that you will find things you missed each time you watch it. Mrs. Cleaver speaking jive still reigns supreme.

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.

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 👍

When I was growing up, our local video store would hang onto movie posters when they got them and they let us take some of them home. My first ever movie poster was Wrongfully Accused.

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.

These movies like to include a bunch of written gags in the final credit-roll. Hard to notice, but fun to spot.

Got a real laugh out of seeing your reaction. Have you guys seen Police Academy? It's an underrated classic that deserves your eyes on it.

of course Leslie is a very serious actor..anyone see him laughing in this movie?

22:35 Wow, I never realized that the second photo is a different position

Agree this movie was crazy and it's crazy good 😂

Dr. Joyce Brothers was in one episode as one of Johnny's visitors.

“Where’s Nordberg?” “Right here, Frank.”

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.

The actor playing Leslie Nielson's partner is George Kennedy. He won an Oscar for "Cool Hand Luke."

how hard it must have been, during the filming, not to laugh yourself to death.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The men around the table in the opening scene are a Who's Who of enemies of the US, Idi Amin, Gorbachev, Ayatollah Khomeini, Yassar Arafat, Gaddafi. Priscilla Presley was in all three of these. Simpson was definately mis cast. I have an ex-wife who made the same mistake kicking a door.

The hypnotized assassin plot is based on the movie "Telefon" starring Charles Bronson as a Soviet officer. The Soviets use a code word though. The demo and Ludwig's opinion about assassins is practically the same when CB's character was shown a demo of it.

Other comedies I would like to recommend are really any of the Three Stooges shorts , my favorite is "Disorder in the Court" . Also there's the famous Abbott and Costello routine "Who's on First" .

I'm in it for L. Nielsen, but love Michelles laughter.

Another great review from a movie that never gets old. Thank you, you ladies always bring a smile to my face 😊🙏❤️

There are also a LOT of references to their contemporary-times history. Without a live-with every-day awareness of those 'times', these films have jokes that don't 'last'. In AIRPLANE for example, if you don't 'know' the blue-and-yellow Hellman's MAYOnaisse label, jokes about the MAYO clinic are lost. In NAKED GUN, if you don't know "chalk outlines" for crime victims, you'll never get the ridiculous humor of that in the water... or the beartrap onboard the boat!

part of the schtick of these movies are the once dramatic actors who appear in comedic roles. george kennedy, leslie nielsen's cop sidekick in the "naked gun" movies, was a pretty big hollywood star in the 60s and 70s. he often played good-ole country boy, tough guy roles. watch "cool hand luke" (1967) starring paul newman, for one of his best roles. this film is also famous for, like "12 angry men" (1957), its great ensemble cast. many of whom went on to long careers in tv and movies. "catch-22" is also known for its wonderful ensemble cast. you know its weird but i think you laughed more during "the godfather" than during "the naked gun."

'Been there' takes the cake. I pissed myself!!

I remember seeing this at the theater with my friends and I cried laughing at 6:08 11:13 21:45 28:59

That’s the thing with Zucker movies, like “Airplane” and “Naked Gun”; they used serious actors for their comedies. But Leslie Nielsen pretty much transitioned into comedy since Airplane.

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...

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!

I didn't realize how spot on the actors were in the 1st scene playing world dictators..lol

Wow, hadn't seen this in a long time. But I remember it well. Was still laughing along the whole way!

Yes, Leslie Nielson was a dramatic actor for sometime, even though his co-stars said he was the funniest man they had ever met. If you want to see how dramatic he can be watch "Day of the Animals."

To your Wierd Al reaction: Yes, he did a cameo in every Naked Gun movie. Apparently he was a fan of the short-lived series that the movies are based off of.

I also liked the combination of Mel Brooks and Leslie Nielsen in Dracula: Dead And Loving It. I wouldn't call it the best over all but there were so many parts of it that always cracked me up seriously.

Odd that they gave Simpson's character a _German_ name. "Nordberg" is German for "North Mountain."

Now you just need to see the rest of the series because they get even better.

There is a series of 6 tv show episodes of Naked gun as well.

14:59 It would not surprise me to learn, at some point, that this is a man in danger of overdosing on Ambien.

I also suggest "Top Secret!" 1984, it's from the same authors as this one, Airplane, Hot Shots and such.

Leslie Nielsen was actually in the first really good Colour Sci Fi Movie and inspiration for star trek 1956 Forbidden Planet its well worth watching as the SFX are amazing for the time it was made.

It´s amazing.. Love Leslie and his buddy..
