The humor in The Naked Gun is absolutely timeless!
Oh yes, still hilarious today
Like a blind man at an orgy, I guess I was just going to have to feel things out.
haha
One of my favorite movies!
Love all 3 Naked Gun flicks (+ Top Secret, Kentucky Fried Movie, Airplane, and Brain Donors). I'm glad the new one is not a remake. I still expect nothing from it but that's kinder to its legacy.
Exactly, expect nothing and you can't be disappointed
Police Squad was decades ahead of it´s time. Best joke in this one? BINGO !
Rocky Watches Movies: Will even more facts on both Naked Guns sequels in the future? Thanks for your help as always! Rest In Peace OJ Simpson, Leslie Nielsen, and George Kennedy! You will be missed by far!
I will do the sequels in time
I, Leslie Hoffman, stunt doubled Queen Elizabeth going down the Banquet Table .
That is so cool. What was it like on set?
Such a great movie, esp if love baseball as makes end scene even better.
Find it difficult to believe Liam Neeson is gonna try to be Frank Drebin! Though I spose no one can ever replace one of a kind Leslie Nielsen
Hold on a minute - *POLICE SQUAD* was a name used *WAY* before Police Academy was even a twinkle in a movie studios pants, yet they kicked up *NO* fuss when bring those out!
In movies vs TV, movies win.
Nice one. You never see these films on main stream tv in the UK these days.
I seen the Naked Gun trilogy in reverse order.
As good as the Naked Gun movies are, I like Police Squad more.
Oh wow! I now have something to look forward to this year. A new naked gun movie is just what 2025 is going to need.
With Liam Neeson too. That is promising.
What!!!
Coincidentally, I randomly rewatched The Naked Gun just a few days ago. Weird coincidence but a nice one!
Wow, what an amazing co-incidence! I didn't.
@ Just making an observation. No need to be a prick.
Hate to say this, but I much preferred Police Squad over The Naked Gun movies. For one thing, the series always underplayed its humor. The characters treated it straight, and let the circumstances sell the joke. In these types of films, you have to play it as if you're doing a Shakespearean drama while things are falling apart all around you. The perfect example of that style is the great Buster Keaton, who was always the calm eye of the hurricane and kept a straight face no longer what happened.
But, with regards to Leslie Nielsen, somewhere along the way, he stopped playing his parodies ala Keaton and started playing his role as if he was an American (or rather, Canadian) Inspector Clouseau. Which, ironically, is simply not all that funny. Subtlety always works best with the ZAZ product, and you can't really run with it if you KNOW it's a comedy.
And I really believe the disintegration started with The Naked Gun movies. In Police Squad! and Airplane!, Leslie Nielsen played it as if he was in a drama that happened to have insane gags always in the background. In other words, the character never knew he was actually in a comedy, but we always did. Which is how Buster Keaton worked: NEVER play it for the obvious laughs. If you do it right, your audience will laugh anyway. If you laugh at your own jokes, the jokes become labored, and that's just not funny. Buster himself said he never knew what was truly funny - but his audience always knew what made them laugh. The latter-day Nielsen movies bear that out, but in the negative: the audience knew what was NOT funny.
And that was why I loathed Dracula Dead and Loving It (also because it was a "parody" of Coppola's Dracula - which I was convinced was ALREADY a "parody"), along with Nielsen's later "parodies." NONE of those films were all that funny, IMO. ESPECIALLY, that execrable Mister Magoo movie! Nielsen was TRYING for the joke, PLAYING for the comedy. After a while, I started wondering myself if Nielsen even understood WHY Police Squad! worked and his more obvious comedies never did.
Now, I acknowledge that The Naked Gun movies were funny in places, and I laughed a lot. But I laughed for far different reasons. I laughed because the jokes were very obvious in the movies - you laughed AT the movies - whereas you laughed WITH Police Squad! and Airplane! There is a distinction, and, sadly, Neilsen's career bears that out. He became effectively a baggy-pants comedian, which he always very cheerfully acknowledged -- but that style inevitably gets tiresome when you are expecting Police Squad-style humor. The subtlety of the material is what makes it work, and there was nothing subtle in The Naked Gun or any of Nielsen's subsequent films. Which really is a tragedy - Nielsen COULD do it, and he simply didn't.
How did Elvis visit the set when he died in 1977?
His ghost. He was joking 😃
Nice beaver.
Thanks 👍
For the algorithm
I have no expectation that the upcoming remake/reboot will be anything but terrible.
I would like to say that in a different way. I have every expectation that it will suck donkey balls.
I'm not holding my breath, but you never know
❤ weird al
Not even a mention of OJ Simpson or glimpse of him? He was an integral part of the movie and obviously now lives in infamy. That’s really odd!
He is in there. In the hospital bed. I have only just realized I didn't use much of him. That wasn't on purpose, Nordberg was a great character!
Oh Seth Mcfarlane wrote it. Won't expect much then
Liam Neeson is not the first person that comes to mind for comedy. Revenge and/or action, yes. A new Darkman movie, definitely. Comedy, no. Sorry Liam.
That just might be the reason for it working though. That was ZAZ's policy for their films, get serious actors to act serious in silly situations. Only time will tell.
@@rockywatchesmovies Liam is way too serious. When was the last time you seen Leslie Nielsen (holy crap I just realized they have the same initials...L.N.) playing a character that was like Bryan Mills? Never. I don't see them pulling that one off. The Zucker's are good, but not that good.
