    RIP.

    Loved watching the airplane movies, especially at Christmas.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Shít. He was probably one of my favourite comic actors. The naked gun films and airplanes wouldn't have been the same without him.

    :eek:

    I grew up watching and loving Leslie's movies! Hell, most of my humour and deadpan delivery of things has been a direct result of how he did it. I aways reguraly watched Police Squad / Naked Gun / Spy Hard / Airplane! / everything he was in right back to the sci fi films of his earlier career.

    I just about to go sleep but now I know that one of my, unusual choice but true, heros is dead........well, that's gonna be a bit shìtty now :(

    Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?
    Captain Oveur: I can't tell.
    Rumack: You can tell me. I'm a doctor.
    Captain Oveur: No. I mean I'm just not sure.
    Rumack: Well, can't you take a guess?
    Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.
    Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours?

    Mayor: Now Drebin, I don't want any trouble like you had on the South Side last year, that's my policy.
    Frank: Well, when I see five weirdos, dressed in togas, stabbing a man in the middle of the park in full view of a hundred 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 five actors! Good ones!

    [Frank Drebin is emptying out his files after being kicked off the force]
    Frank: Hey! The missing evidence in the Kelner case! My God, he really was innocent!
    Ed: He went to the chair two years ago, Frank.
    Frank: Well, uh...
    [Frank Drebin quickly shoves the evidence back into the file cabinet]

    [Frank Drebin is angrily breaking up with Jane Spencer]
    Frank: Oh, and one more thing... I faked every orgasm!

    Bye Leslie, and thanks for all the laughs, showing us how deadpan comedy and spoofs should be done.

    Airplane and the naked guns were some of my favourite comedies, ridiculously funny guy, he'll be sorely missed

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    This just reminded me I haven't watched Police Squad! yet, shall do so this week I think.

    They don't make them like him anymore. This has really brought down my mood before bed.

    Terrible news. Thanks for the laughs, Leslie. Legend.

    He was a serious actor, things just had a habit of going wrong around him. :)

    R.I.P. A real legend! One of those actors that you could sit down with your dad and watch and guarantee that both of you would be in stitches
