Comic legend! When slap stick was actually funny.

Duggy747 · 29-11-2010 10:47AM

My GF has actually said she hated the guy :eek:

Somebody gave her Naked Gun for her 18th and she turned it off thinking it was shìt.

Somebody should have given her a kick up the arse. :pac:

Poor fella RIP.

Will genuinely miss the man in movies, my favourite..............

Lt. Frank Drebin: Hector Savage. From Detroit. Ex-boxer. His real name was Joey Chicago.
Ed Hocken: Oh, yeah. He fought under the name of Kid Minneapolis.
Nordberg: I saw Kid Minneapolis fight once. In Cincinnati.
Lt. Frank Drebin: No you're thinking of Kid New York. He fought out of Philly.
Ed Hocken: He was killed in the ring in Houston. By Tex Colorado. You know, the Arizona Assassin.
Nordberg: Yeah, from Dakota. I don't remember it was North or South.
Lt. Frank Drebin: North. South Dakota was his brother. From West Virginia.
Ed Hocken: You sure know your boxing.
Lt. Frank Drebin: All I know is never bet on the white guy.

Mine too, is there a youtube link for this scene?

Hard to pick a favourite for me but this is definitely one of the more memorable ones for me:

Sally: Well, I first heard the shot, and as I turned, Jim fell.
Frank Drebin: Jim Fell's the teller?
Sally: No, Jim Johnson.
Frank Drebin: Who's Jim Fell?
Ed: He's the auditor, Frank.
Sally: He had the flu, so Jim... filled in.
Frank Drebin: Phil who?
Ed: Phil Din. He's the night watchman.
Sally: Oh, if only Phil had been here...

daveyboy_1ie · 29-11-2010 10:59AM

RIP Leslie, thanks for the memories

29-11-2010 11:01AM

Noo! Frank Drebin can't die!

Wompa1 · 29-11-2010 11:03AM

Frank Drebin is my hero!

Rothmans · 29-11-2010 11:17AM

Here's one of my favourite scenes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXteuQV62lg

And another one which I can't find on youtube. It went something like this.

Drebin goes to a wharehouse to meet someone. A hitman appears out from behind a tanker.

Hitman says 'I've a message from Mr. x (forget his name)'. Hitman then proceeds to shoot at Drebin.

Drebin replies 'Well then stop shooting, I can't hear you over the gunfire'

RIP.

He was really funny in Naked Gun and Airplane.

Pity he's gone

Dunny · 29-11-2010 11:24AM

Frank Drebin: Oh by the way, I faked every orgasm.

Sonnenblumen · 29-11-2010 11:25AM

Absolute legend, what a loss! One of the best and most memorable performers who could at the same time entertain everybody and insult nobody.

RIP

Kintarō Hattori · 29-11-2010 11:32AM

Tis a shame, the man was just hilarious and seemed like a very nice guy too.

IvyTheTerrible · 29-11-2010 11:33AM

RIP.

Airplane is still one of the funniest films I've ever seen. They don't make like that anymore!

Funky G · 29-11-2010 11:33AM

I have the trilogy box set which i have yet to open

I'm gonna stay in and laugh my ass off!

Nice beaver, very hot and very wet and Frank Drebbin pretending to be Weird Al Yankovic when going to the award ceremonies.

I remember the trailer to 33 1/3......and Anna Nicole Smith as Tania

RIP Anna

RIP Leslie

Great funny films that stand the test of time, not like this Vampires Sucks sh1te on nowadays

Angry Troll · 29-11-2010 11:34AM

R.I.P.

prinz · 29-11-2010 11:35AM

Absolute legend... RIP. Nobody coming close in Hollywood at the moment. Looks like a Naked Gun fest tonight.

staker · 29-11-2010 11:35AM

RIP Leslie.

Airplane (in flight)
"When whoever hears about this, the shits going to hit the fan", cue the biggest lump of shit ever flying through the air into one of the plane's jet engines.

Pure class!

In the first one when he gets off the plane and things the podium is for him and it's for Weird Al...brillant.

The bit in the TV show where they have the 24 hour Whicker place was brillant too!

That_Guy · 29-11-2010 11:37AM

Leslie Nielsen was reported dead after being seriously ill in hospital for two weeks." "What was it?" "It was a big building with patients, but that's not important right now"

CorkMan · 29-11-2010 11:41AM

WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE??? WHY WHY WHY??? of all the people in the world, look who they took. Bloody sanctimonious bastards.

AAAAAAAHHH · 29-11-2010 11:41AM

Police Squad is one of the funniest series of all time. The scene from 5 minutes on in this is my favourite scene from anything ever

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLXyC1cuN3M

Standard Toaster · 29-11-2010 11:43AM

Dr. Rumack: You'd better tell the captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
Elaine: A hospital? What is it?
Dr. Rumack:: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

Commissioner Brumford: [On phone.] Hello? He did what? How many animals escaped? Oh, my god.

Frank: Hello, Commissioner. You're looking lovely this evening.

Commissioner Brumford: Do you realize that because of you this city is being overrun by baboons?

Frank: Well, isn't that the fault of the voters?

Frank: A good cop - needlessly cut down by some cowardly hoodlums.
Ed: That's no way for a man to die.
Frank: No... you're right, Ed. A parachute not opening... that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine... having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go!
Wilma Nordberg: [cries] Oh... Frank. This is terrible!
Ed: Don't you worry, Wilma. Your husband is going to be alright. Don't you worry about anything. Just think positive. Never let a doubt enter your mind.
Frank: He's right, Wilma. But I wouldn't wait until the last minute to fill out those organ donor cards.
[Wilma cries again]
Ed: What I'm trying to say is that, Wilma, as soon as Nordberg is better, he's welcome back at Police Squad.
Frank: ...Unless he's a drooling vegetable. But I think that's only common sense.
[Wilma cries again]

Some of my favs

RIP Leslie, maestro of deadpan comedy.

maameeo · 29-11-2010 11:43AM

This was not just a celebrity death, this man was apart of our lives. Someone who can make you laugh by the look on his face alone, Someone who'd do anything for comedy, Someone that I never thought would die

RIP funny man

WindSock · 29-11-2010 11:47AM

Aww

I was only thinking of him recently after watching an old film with him in it. I was thinking he was due to pop his clogs soon.
He was my first favourite comedian, I loved the Naked Gun films, he was like a father to me. R.I.P. Leslie. That's an awfully big moustache :pac:

Scráib · 29-11-2010 11:47AM

Ah now, that's Sad. RIP Leslie Neilsen. I have the Airplane DVD in my collection here, I think I'll watch that this week!

General Zod · 29-11-2010 11:55AM

Leslie Neilsen was one of the funniest actors ever. An expert in deadpan, and a great guy. Rest in Peace.

patmac · 29-11-2010 11:55AM
