Police Squad / Naked Gun movies

[Roo Stercogburn]

Watching again for first time in ages.

Just. Awesome.

"But I wouldn't wait until the last minute to fill out those organ donor cards."




Airplane again soon I think.

 

[old.Tohtori]

I'd add men in tights and other mel brookery into that

 

[dysfunction]

Yes like Silent Movie and Space Balls

 

[caLLous]

Leslie Nielsen = funniest Canadian ever. The Naked Gun trilogy are fantastic, timeless films. Ashamed to say I've never seen the original Police Squad.

The original Police Squad is awesome. Loved the first Naked Gun (quality trails off in 2 and 3).

The first Airplane movie was great. However:

Robin Hood: Men in Tights was wank

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Spaceballs is the most overrated piece of rubbish ever, I like Brooks, but that was terribly, cheaply done.

Blazing Saddles on the other hand....

And yes, PS/NG is awesome. The original PS TV show is amazing.

One of my favourite things in Police Squad was the endings when everyone would just stand still instead of using a freeze frame, but something would always be going on at the same time while they were all stood there like numpties. Genius.

 

[JingleBells]

The first Airplane movie was great.

Surely you can't be serious!

 

[Airhead]

I am serious...and quit calling me Shirley.

 

[Panda On Smack]

Ahh, thanks for the reminder.

I have the Naked Gun box set, let the watching commence!

Blazing Saddles is ace as are the Airplane movies.

Lol those epilogues were great.

I remember recording these on video when they were first shown in the UK, the first US comedy that really made me laugh.

Loved the way the dialogue just went on and on

Det. Frank Drebin: Wait a minute, let me get this straight: Twice came in and shot the teller and Jim Fell.
Sally Decker: No, he only shot the teller, Jim Johnson. Fell is ill.
Det. Frank Drebin: Okay, then after he shot the teller, you shot Twice.
Sally Decker: No, I only shot once.
Capt. Ed Hocken: Twice is the hold up man.
Sally Decker: Then I guess I did shoot Twice.
Det. Frank Drebin: Oh, so now you're changing your story.
Sally Decker: No, I shot Twice after Jim fell.
Det. Frank Drebin: You shot twice and Jim Fell?
Sally Decker: No, Jim fell first and then I shot Twice once.
Det. Frank Drebin: Well, who fired twice?
Sally Decker: Once!
Capt. Ed Hocken: He's the owner of the tire company, Frank.
Det. Frank Drebin: [pauses] Okay. Once is the owner of the tire company and he fired Twice. Then Twice shot the teller once.
Sally Decker: Twice.
Det. Frank Drebin: ...and Jim fell and then you fired Twice.
Sally Decker: Once!
Det. Frank Drebin: Okay. All right, that will be all for now, Ms. Decker.
Capt. Ed Hocken: We'll need you to make a formal statement down at the station.
Sally Decker: Oh, of course!
Det. Frank Drebin: You've been very helpful. We think we know how he did it.
Sally Decker: Oh, Howie couldn't have done it. He hasn't been in for weeks.
Det. Frank Drebin: Well.
[pauses]
Det. Frank Drebin: Thank you again, Ms. Decker.
[to Ed]
Det. Frank Drebin: Weeks?
Capt. Ed Hocken: Saul Weeks. He's the comptroller, Frank.
