Apparently, when this movie was in theaters, Weird Al would take dates to see it, and he’d wear the shirt he was wearing in the movie, and act surprised when he was onscreen.
I served Al at my last job, and he’s a genuinely sweet guy, and his family is wonderful.
Sounds a lot like Bob Crane, star of "Hogan's Heroes," as portrayed by Greg Kinnear in the movie "Auto Focus." Apparently, he'd go to bars, ask for the TV to be turned on, and act surprised when Hogan's Heroes came on.
Priscilla was the wife, Lisa Marie is the daughter. This was before the whole OJ trial and the murder. If you wanna see a parody of Top Gun watch Hot Shots!, and watch the sequel Hot Shots! Part Deux, which parodies Rambo 2 and 3.
I remember an episode of family guy w/ oj that said he "did it" after filming the 3rd film
YES!!! Hot shots!
Was also gonna request Hot Shots. Washout was my favorite character.
I suppose it would be better to see Top Gun and Rambo first
Hot Shots is the funniest parody movie ever made :-)
The 'nice beaver' thing will always be genius. It was just random, clever and perfect.
Thanks. I just had it stuffed.
Based on one fact & one fact only: Leslie Nielsen was (R.I.P.) Canadian, & yes, that _is_ *THE #1 euphemism for* it throughout that nation.
Funny thing about his driving: this was based on the TV series "Police Squad." A running gag was that every episode he would knock over a bunch of trash cans proportional to the number of the episodes: one on the first episode, two on the second, etc.
They were very fortunate it only ran for one season, because it would have been difficult to keep it up.
Well sometimes it happens, that's life, they get ED and can't keep it up.
After banging away so hard for so many episodes and years it can happen to anyone.
Editorial Dysfunciton is almost unavoidable when you box yourself in with such writing.
Oh and I'd prefer to speek to the REAL Devin, not you, a Faux Devin.
The epilogues would also be hard to continue, since they all had Drebin saying that this week's villain would spend time in Stateville Prison from now on, along with... and then list every single bad guy from the previous episodes.
They were eating pistachios (the ones still in the shell) in the car on the stakeout. Back then most pistachios were imported snd they dyed them red to hide the mottled appearance of the shells (from drying) and make them look more uniform and appealing. The dye would come off on your fingers and lips if you ate a lot of them, kind of like Cheetoh dust 🙂
I occasionally still see those but it's rare these days.
@@SoldierPoet The red ones are rare but the undyed ones are still around in small bags and expensive. Very habit forming
QUIT it! Youre making me want pistachios.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 🤣🤣
I read somewhere that they dyed them until California started to be a major grower of pistachios. The article said that before they were grown in California they came from so far away they would actually start to rot a little before they arrived. That’s another reason they dyed them. So you wouldn’t see the rot starting to set in. My father loved these movies when I was a kid, and also loves pistachios.
"Are these guys supposed to be world leaders?"
Aaaaaand then I knew i was old.
The part where Nordbergs wife said "poor Nordberg he never wanted to hurt anyone" became 100 times funnier after 1994.
I was wondering how a pre-white Bronco O.J. was going to fair in the "did it stand the test of time" assessment. a bit surreal to see him playing a normal, more or less...happy-go-lucky guy...and being credible in that role.
I was recently made aware that Mrs. Nordberg (Susan Beaubian -I forget her name off the top of my head- ) was -a jury member- Amanda Cooley (juror) in one of the OJ Simpson dramatizations, the first season of "American Crime Story." Which makes it *even* funnier.
Edit to fill the details.
It's even scarier how James Cameron originally wanted OJ to play The Terminator until Arnold won the role
Leslie played the comedy the exact same way as he played dramas. he was a gem. also, Priscilla was Elvis' wife, lol.
The funny thing is, before Airplane!, Leslie Nielsen was mostly known for more serious and genre roles. One of his first well known roles was in Forbidden Planet, a 50s vintage sci-fi movie. May be worth checking out.
I remember seeing a documentary on the battle of Gettysburg narrated by him…made me laugh
Loved him Creep Show. Might be a good one for Hallowbeans 2022
The fx for Forbidden Planet are awesome. It's my favourite 50s scifi film along with The Quatermass Xperiment.
If Ashleigh thinks Nielsen is hot now, she's gonna melt when she sees Forbidden Planet Leslie. LOL.
Also a repeat guest on Columbo! Really fantastic serious roles
The great parody of Top Gun is Hot Shots.
I strongly recommend, hot shots 1 and 2 are some of my favorite comedies. The second one is very similar in comic style to Robinhood: Men in Tights (I even remember watching those on VHS as a kid and Robinhood and Hot Shots: Part Deux advertised each other)
But first need to watch at least Top gun, and Rambo III.
Ashleigh definitely needs to watch Hotshots and Hotshots Part Deux with Charlie Sheen and Lloyd Bridges. Hilarious!!
@@davenichs56 And Mr bean
Would “spies like us” be considered a parody movie?
@@zedhiro6131 That the one with Belushi? If so, yes, definitely.
Nielsen started out as a serious actor and was very handsome as a young man but he had such a knack for deadpan comedy that he became a staple of these kinds of films. He was awesome!
May I just say, bravo for you for calling it a "Lavaliere" mic instead of a clip-on. As an AV tech, you just made my day.
Random fact since you mentioned OJ Simpson, he actually auditioned for the role of the terminator but James Cameron passed on him because, and I’m not kidding, he felt that OJ wasn’t convincing enough to be a killer. Let’s all process that for a moment 😂😂
Lmfao
Not the last time he would be let go, because some people weren't convinced he was a killer…
I'm sure someone told me that they thought it was actually probably OJ's son that committed the murder. Don't have an opinion myself as I haven't looked at the evidence closely enough. But was an interesting theory anyway.
YES @@BeardyBaldyBob, there is an underground video that explains it all. He was there, but his son did the killing. THAT is why the glove didn't fit.
@@BeardyBaldyBob I heard that theory from one of my uber riders. It actually seems pretty believable, since he mentioned the son had mental issues and DNA that implicated OJ could have actually been of the son.
"What am I watching??"😂
Ashleigh laughing through this whole movie definitely made this review so great.😂😂😂
My husband and I were laughing right along, it made our day.
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this movie, but the scene where Frank exchanges money with the informant will always make my balls hurt from laughter.
My favorite trivia for this movie is that "Weird" Al actually took a date to see this in theaters, and didn't warn her he was in it first.
Another film that's really fun, heart warming, but very unique and intelligent is "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?". That's a film that, if you haven't seen it yet, will be a top 5 film of yours of all time, Ashleigh. Even if you don't review it on here for the youtube crowd, you need that film for yourself. I really don't even want to spoil the details of anything about the movie, but it is an amazing film full of humor and cartoony moments, but also has a great cast and a lot of heart
If you've never read the book that it is based on (Who Censored Roger Rabbit?), you should. The plots of the book and the film have almost nothing in common, but it's still an interesting read.
Also, Who Framed Roger Rabbit will remind you of Chinatown.
@@donaldb1 forget it roger, it’s toon town
WFRR is something that everyone needs to see once, i watched it many times over my childhood.
Oh yeah.. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is great.. even better if you watch the behind the scenes of how they did all the filming of it.
To this day, whenever we see someone sing the national anthem both my Brother and I can't help but saying, "Hey! It's Enrico Palazzo!"
Frank getting addicted to the godlike rush of power of being an ump and yelling "STEEEEEEEEE-RIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE" as soon as the ball leaves the pitcher's hand _might_ be my favorite visual gag in any comedy ever. (A lot of the baseball jokes assume knowledge of the sport, so those might not hold up as well for you.) Glad you did this one!
Unfortunately this is how Angel Hernandez learned how to umpire.
I remember watching this in the theater. There was a group of old folks a few rows down and they laughed and coughed because of the laughing the whole movie. I still enjoyed it! :)
"Who doesn't like a good fart joke", Leslie Nielsen loved them so much his epitaph on his tombstone says "Let'er rip"!
Leslie was a real one, even in death he was like "have a laugh on me."
Leslie Nielsen would also regularly have a whoopee cushion with him to talk shows and use it during the interviews.
@@weepingscorpion8739 It wasn't a whoopee cushion. It was a rubber toy that he'd rub together. A whoopee Cushion would eventually run out of air and it would be large and difficult to hide. I don't even know what his fart machine was called, but he could palm it easily.
@@Wyrmshadow Like you I have no idea what that fart machine is called so hence I decided to use the term whoopee cushion because people know what that is.
Leslie picked up extra cash selling them to the cast and crew while making Airplane. Made more from them than his meagar salary which was something stupid like 1000 bucks.
That “nice beaver “ line always gets me 😅😂🤣
"Thank you...I just had it stuffed" kills me. Priscilla definitely held her own.
Favorite joke in the movie.
I saved it as a ringtone on one of my old Tracfones...
for someone living in Beaver Falls, in Beaver County.
Best bit in all three movies.
Great review of a hilarious movie. My mom met George Kennedy . He was a super nice man that sat down and talked to her for a long time.
No one has ever won a Try not to laugh challenge with Leslie Nielsen's comedy films. Leslie you are the Master of comedy.
Fun fact: when this movie came out, Weird Al would take first dates to see it wearing that same outfit.
What about second dates? and did he prefer pitted or non pitted?
I still laugh so much when the dummy of Priscilla is getting swung about while getting dragged up the stairs. I love a dummy gag! Even the dottery rattling OJ speeding down the stairs. Gets me every time! Lol! Thanks Ashleigh! Made my commute to work this morning! Haha! 😂
Leslie Neilsen was a one of a kind. He would go on the late night talk shows and he had a hand held fart noisemaker. He would sit there during interviews squeezing that thing and keep a straight face the entire time. So damn funny! Glad you enjoyed this one, can't wait for the rest
Elvis's daughter. lol Don't ever change, Ashleigh :)
Elvis fans: ....🤦....Millennials
I love how George kennedy tosses his hat into the back of the car nonchalantly and it lands perfectly up in the rear window.
The writers and editors did an amazing job, I can only imagine what wound up on the cutting room floor. Leslie Nielsen's ability to deliver his lines with a straight face is unearthly. His physical comedy is solid without being over the top. Decades later my friends and I still use the lines "It's Enrico Pilatzo!" and "Nice beaver."
We all need silly, funny movies like this once in awhile. I haven’t seen this one since high school but I remember watching with my mom and laughing our asses off. Thanks for bringing it back into my life!
The $20 bill scene was my favorite! Leslie's expression of concern when he was bribed with his own money, not because it was his money, but because it seemed inappropriate to take a bribe, all hit me at once and made me laugh.
And that, utimately, he came out $20 ahead on the deal!
I like the $20 bill gag. It was a reworked gag from the tv show Police Squad. If anyone is unaware of the gag Frank on the TV show would visit a street shoe shiner called Johnny played by William Duell. Frank would ask him something he needed to know to solve the case. Johnny would reply "I wouldn't know anything about it" or something similar. The Frank would bribe him and he would tell him what he wanted to know. The gag is street shoe shiners would know everything because they listened and picked up things whilst on the streets. Doctors and firemen and sportsmen would come in after Frank and ask him a question. Also they had to bribe him, its so funny and I think better than the movie version. Shamw William Duell didn't reprise his role as shoe shiner guy. Shame the rest of the cast didn't reprise their roles, would loved to have seen Alan North he was great.
The people in the opening sequence are indeed meant to be "world leaders" from that era.
These are:
- the big black general guy: Idi Amin, dictator of Uganda, killed some hundred thousand people during his rule
- the guy with the sunglasses and the arab headdress: Jassir Arafat. Leader of the PLO and their terror war against Israel.
- the curly haired officer: Muammar al-Gaddafi. Dictator of Libya. Responsible for several acts of brutal terror all over the world, including the infamous destruction of a Boeing 747 in the air over the scottish town of Lockerbie in 1988... after this movie was released. He hadn't been a nice guy before.
- bald guy with the "fake" birthmark: Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev, last leader of the Soviet Union. In contrast to his speech in this movie, he _was_ (still is) a "nice guy", whose reforms were mainly responsible for the end of the Cold War.
- white bearded guy with black turban: Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini: leader of the Iranian Revolution and the following Islamic Republic of Iran. Definitly a friend of the USA, which he called "The Great Satan".
- the guy without lines, in green fatigues and cap: Fidel Castro, long time ruler of Cuba.
Interestingly, Saddam Hussein doesn't feature on this tableau, as he was still considered a "good guy" and American ally in 1988. How things change.
Thank you for your content. had a very mentally rough day. watching you react to this gem of a movie snapped me out of it, and brought a smile to my face today.
I hope “Spy Hard” makes it on the list at some time. Another parody movie with Leslie Neilson playing a James Bond type character. I think you would really enjoy the opening theme song. 👍🏻
The scene where he inspects the pitcher and finds the Vaseline jar: Pitchers will cheat by using substances or objects to deform the baseball (file it down or make is sticky on one side) so they can gain an advantage by throwing better pitches. When the do this, the cheating objects/substances are tiny and hidden away not entire jars of Vaseline.
To clarify a tiny bit further: these tricks change the aerodynamic properties of the baseball when thrown.
@@tylerfoster6267 when it comes to vaseline, it's not entirely an aerodynamics thing, more or less for the slipperiness of it... sometimes it allows a better, faster release from the pitcher's hand, in other cases it is used for when the bat meets the ball, it'll make the ball slip when hit and better the chances for an easy out, or a foul ball
@@tylerfoster6267 It actually gives some fingers less friction vs others to get more rotation on the ball so for throwing curves and sliders.
@@cchavezjr7 Adding a substance, or even scuffing, to the ball was done to make the ball move erratically in flight when pitched. It is called a "spitball" (no doubt owing to the origin of the practice when ballplayers often had a plug of chewing tobacco in) and was made illegal after the 1920 season for obvious reasons. Of course, making it illegal didn't make it impossible, but practitioners of the black art had to conceal the practice as much as possible, or risk ejection or even possible suspension. One of the most famous (notorious?) spitballers was Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry. Although he was only caught once, Gaylord touched everything from his cap, to his neck, his torso, etc., to give the impression that he may be throwing a spitter to great effect in distracting a batter.
@@757optim It was because of the spin, friction on some fingers and less on the others cause it to spin more or less depending on if you lube it up or even scuff up the ball. That is why the umpire checks for scuffs every time the ball hits the ground.
I hope NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION is on your list for Jinglebeans!
Me too! (And keep Beans away from the tree lights!)
I requested this one a year ago. Hope it'll get a reaction this year :D
Also, The Long Kiss Goodnight
omg i hope so...
I'm incapable of watching this film without having a big huge grin on my face.
That includes the pillow at 10:30, love the tiny noise you made in response to such a ridiculous moment.
This is one of my favorite movies! I saw it in the theater when I was a little kid, because my dad was a police officer and insisted on taking me and my mom to see it. And even though it's a small throwaway line, the "bingo" joke makes me smile every time!
Elvis' wife.
The intro is pretty iconic in this series. My favorite iirc is the third movie one for several reasons.
weird al has a few associations with Leslie. He does a song specifically for one his movies even!
these nielsen movie movies from this era (airplane to the naked guns to spy hard) might still be my favorite comedies of all time.
I have fond memories of seeing the third one in theatres as a kid, but man does a certain "part" of the climax age like freaking buttermilk.
Actually, it's bittersweet watching any of these old ZAZ movies, since the parts that age the least well remind me that at least one of the trio (possibly more, I forget exactly which) became an arch-conservative and made a bunch of unfunny yikesy "comedy" films in the last fifteen years.
SPY HARD.
@@HobGungan exactly why I can't really do the third film anymore. I got too many friends for whom that punchline is a jab at to feel comfortable with it
@@HobGungan To whom do you refer and which comedies were yikesy? I'm always down to watch some cringe, so please let me know.
@@HobGungan there were a couple of parts that would not go over well with audiences regarding jokes "aging". one regarding the anatomy of a character played by a female comes to mind.
this movie is the true classic of the series but i've enjoyed them all. i need to rewatch the 2nd because i barely remember it but i recall it being better than 3 apart from the final showdown in the 3rd movie (tasteless jokes in #3 aside).
A group of 11 of us from the skydiving club rented this film on VHS to cheer ourselves up after going to the funeral and wake for a friend who had died when his parachute didn't deploy. You can imagine the stunned silence from all of us when Leslie Nielsen said that a parachute not opening, in the scene at 6:30, was a good way for a man to die.
Bruh.....
The bullet on the poster for this drove me crazy even as a kid. The artist apparently thought they worked with the casing attached, flying through the air like a little rocket ship.
i really love your reactions,thank you so much for your hard work darlin
The mayor was legendary actress Nancy Marchand, who has had many notable roles over the years. Her last great role before she passed away was Livia Soprano, Tony's mother on "The Sopranos".
WOW, never realised that was tonys mum. she was pure evil
I remember her from the TV series, "Lou Grant"
Forgot about her being Sopranos mom. She was amazing. I always think of her as the newspaper editor on Lou Grant.
@@teclo1057 Yup, wonderful actress. earlier on, she was the girlfriend in "Marty" with Rod Steiger back in the 50's, and then later on she was the boss, Mrs. Pynchon on "Lou Grant".
Now that you've started these, you've really got to watch Top Secret!, which is the movie the Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker team made between Airplane! and The Naked Gun. You'll love who stars in it -- I won't tell you here, but it was his film debut! It's also Weird Al's favorite movie. (If I manage to get to the post office tomorrow, you might even get a copy of it in December...)
Although the movie uses the real teams, the only real player is Reggie Jackson, who plays the would-be assassin. The rest of the players are fake.
Also, you laughed at the credit for the soundtrack, but at this point I wonder if people remember the era where music videos (back when they were played on television) had those little chyrons at the beginning and end of the videos.
BIG PROPS FOR TOP SECRET
,, I came to the comments to agree with this 🥳
Oh YES!!
Top secret is Val Kilmer, right?
@@zedhiro6131 Yup!
Thank you for these videos they’re always so fun!
You make these so fun Ashleigh, thanks for the laugh
Someday you may finally get around to “Top Secret!” The absolute champion of the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker films. Best of these types of movies, hands down. Don’t get me wrong, I love “Airplane!,” “Naked Gun,” and “Hot Shots,” but “Top Secret!” seems to have caught them at the height of their game. Brilliant and hilarious. Unmatched.
^ This. Top Secret! is (IMO) the best of the lot.
Top Secret is the best, but it helps if you know a little German.
@@oscardiggs246 Have we not met before, monsieur?
I have been requesting Top Secret and Spinal Tap in almost every comment section of almost every video. She would really like Top Secret. The backwards scene is one of my all-time favorite scenes.
Latrine!
17:04 umpires have the prerogative to search a pitcher's uniform for tools/evidence of cheating via distorting the ball. The classic means of a pitcher doing this are emory boards/files/sandpaper/etc concealed in their pockets (hence searching the pitcher's pocket) and vaseline on their fingers. Obviously an entire jar of vaseline is too large to conceal in a pocket, so what pitchers would actually do is pre-smear a finger or two's worth of vaseline somewhere on their uniform where it was hard for someone else to see yet also easy for them to "innocently" touch to get the stuff back on their fingers (i.e. the brim of their hat). So, of course, to make a typical Naked Gun/Police Squad joke out of it, Nielsen actually does find the entire jar when he searches the pitcher.
Great video as always. Him leaving his mic on reminded me of a time my mom and dad were house hunting and taking video of potential houses. My dad had to use the bathroom and forgot to turn the camera off. It's to the side and filming the wall but you hear his entire bathroom visit lol.
Loved the reaction! You are fabulous!
This is the out and out KING of Spoof's, for me. I still to this day love it. It was so good even seeing it as a kid and not understanding a thing that was going on, it still made me laugh just how silly it could get and Nielsen's delivery is pure comic performance genius.
Also, shoutout to Ricardo Montalban who is wonderful in general. A part of the greatest Sci-Fi movie (in my own opinion) ever, Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan.
“Nice beaver.”
Kills me every time!
12:33 This is the most honest and well delivered involuntary reaction ... ever. Kudos 👍
Love your tshirt! I watched this movie back when it was new, it was hilarious, but watching you catch all the innuendos and silly stuff was even more fun.
A little history about Leslie Nielsen, his first role was in 1950 on Actors Studio. His first big role in movies was the standout sci-fi Forbidden Planet (highly recommend). It was ahead of it's time. He mostly did TV throughout his career, occasionally doing movies; mostly spoofs. TV shows he appeared in ranged from MASH to Fantasy Island. I recommend 1998's Wrongfully Accused (a spoof of the Harrison Ford movie The Fugitive). He also played the ship captain in the 1972 Irwin Allen all star disaster film The Poseidon Adventure. Do that one too if you want.
LOL he was on Fantasy Island? And I guessed this was the first time he & Ricardo had worked together.
I recommend Day of the Animals.
I love the original Poseidon Adventure with Gene Hackman. Such an amazing cast and story.
I loved his guest starring roles on Due South, a great underrated show of the 90s. One of his last film roles was the great Canadian movie Men with Brooms, about a local curling team.
@@betsyab121 Yes
They put the "nice beaver" line in the commercials.... on TV... and then cut away before showing the stuffed beaver. Quite an effective way to get teenage boys to the theaters.
If there is ever an award for reaction videos, you'll win it, hands down! Do more, more, more!
Ashleigh, Your appreciation for dad jokes, puns, silly innuendos and (sadly for nowadays "standard") non-pc humour keeps amazing me. It is always great fun watching You watching funny movies.
As is should be. If it's funny, we laugh. If you think the joke was not appropriate or not politically correct, we laugh at You. Ashleigh loves to laugh and it really shows
I'll never understand you weirdos who keep insisting the PC menace is about to destroy comedy/society. You're been doing it for at least 40 years, and what do we have today? IASIP, South Park, Tim and Eric, Archer, Fleabag, British shows that'll make your ears bleed, etc. You know what we don't have anymore? Jokes about how comedy is all about airplane food and mothers-in-law, because they no longer apply. Comedy's way more diverse now, and way better for it.
Can you name a joke in this movie that couldn't be made today, for "PC" reasons? The actual threat to expression has always been and continues to be from the pearl-clutching "family values" grifters on the right. Go yell at them.
@@michaelccozens Dude, look around. It is already happening. Wokeness and PC nonsense IS destroying comedy all around us. Cognitive Dissonance is a thing, huh?
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 If that was true, South Park wouldn't still be massively popular 🤷♂️ you folks just like to gripe
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 Yes, the plethora of evidence you provided is very convincing.
A more self-aware and smarter person would be concerned by their utter failure to present evidence they insist is everywhere. Not you, though.
A classic. His hair was white, from about the age of 20. He's in one of the most famous sci-fi movies ever, The Forbidden Planet. A sci fi based on Shakespeare's Tempest. I'll never forget that movie as for my 18th birthday, we went to see the musical Return to the Forbidden Planet - Shakespeare's Forgotten Rock and Roll Classic. A musical of the movie, with the cast as the band, doing 60's and 70's classics. I'll never forget Cookie doing an eight minute guitar solo, before the interval, to Santana's She's Not There. At the start the cast were in the audience, doing a hilarious take on the inflight safety instructions. :)
Police Squad was a hugely popular, farcical, cop show.
"Surely not?"
"No but please stop calling me Shirley." :D
It's also the movie that the kids watch in 'Halloween' (1978). My dad absolutely loves Forbidden Planet and realizing that was Leslie made my jaw drop because I always remember him from comedies. Very talented actor.
There was another movie that came out later called 'Robinson Carosoe On Mars' on Christmas day that I always associate with Christmas even today. You watch FP on your birthdays too?
I know what you mean, I feel in love with her to, and married her later. but by then she had changed into a red headed freckle faced bundle of joy, but at least had the same name, lol.
Ashleigh watching Naked Gun = the best value anyone will find on Black Friday!
I had to take a second when I saw it on my feed - "Wait, Ashleigh hasn't done a Naked Gun reaction yet? Surely you can't be serious!" ... but it was soooo worth the wait. Now please get Top Gun watched, so we can all recommend Hot Shots! 😁
Oh hell yeah! While I won't need to see her reaction to Top Gun, I am definitely looking forward to her reacting to Hot Shots!
I am serious, and stop calling me Shirley! Had to.
Surely you cant be serious, i am seriuous and dont call be Shirley ;;) oops wrong film LOL
The condoms ARE kind of a "PSA"... This movie was out when HIV and AIDS was everywhere, as well as other STDs... And, safe sex was important... GREAT parody of both people COMPLETELY covered... Funny, and yet... TRUE to the times... Glad you laughed and enjoyed it! LOVE Leslie Nielsen, too!
Idk if you still can, but back in the 90s, you could buy a "full body condom" as a gag gift in places like Spencer's Gifts
I had such a good time watching this review. I’ve always loved these movies.
The fact that you think that it was even remotely possible that the Queen of England would do a movie cameo, much less one in a movie like this, is adorable and disappointing at the same time!
th-cam.com/video/1AS-dCdYZbo/w-d-xo.html
Ashleigh: why do you have orange juice in your freezer?
Me: time to find that AARP catalog.
SAME! Did you get the Minute Maid frozen ones and eat it with a spoon like me as a kid? LOL!
The funny part is that FCOJ is still a thing...so she just has never noticed it in the market, or noticed it but never figured out what it was...so her whole life. 🖖😜😁
@@iKvetch558 We both laughed at that bc we always have it in the house (I take kratom and I can only stomach it with orange juice...so we buy a lot of orange juice).
The kicker is that Ashleigh just watched Trading Places where FCOJ is the stock they were trading in the final scene.
HA! Too funny! This is such a fun wacky movie. I love Leslie Nielsen. This was fun watching it with you, it has been a long while since I have seen this.
5:24 of all the times I've watched this movie, WOW what a tremendous throw with the hat landing under the back window, and not just landing on the back seat. Another great reaction, thank you! :-)
While Frank is impersonating an umpire, the batter swings back and hits Frank in the face. This joke was suggested by…
… Mel Brooks.
"What a world! What a world!"
I quote this movie all the time. Whenever someone in a movie takes off their mask/helmet, I shout "It's Enrico Palazzo!"
The actor who shouts out that line is Mark Holton who plays Francis Buxton in Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure. Hey , has Ashleigh seen that one ? Much love from Florida Laura 🍊🤗🧡
@Red-eye Jedi Kylo: "You still want to kill me."
Rey: "That's what happens when you're being hunted by a creature in a mask."
*Kylo takes off his helmet*
Me: "IT'S ENRICO PALAZZO!!"
You need a shirt that says "This is our hill... and these are our BEANS!"
I saw this in the theater in 1988, and laughed the whole way through. Glad you enjoyed it too! The umpire scene is still my favorite.
So I've heard the term as "dilly-dallying", but I get a kick whenever Ashleigh says "diddle-dallying". I think that is hilarious. Anyone else?
I chuckle every time.
yep
That's how I say it now
Diddle has such a negative connotation that it makes me laugh-cringe.
@@EricaGamet Exactly
A great movie with a young Leslie Nielsen, in a non-comedic role, is "Tammy and the Bachelor". Absolutely love that movie. Debbie Reynolds stars as Tammy. Such a good, sweet movie.
Okay, so, a few things: I'm glad you've seen Ghost (directed by Jerry Zucker.) Because one year after that was made, his brother David Zucker made The Naked Gun 2 and 1/2. Keep that in mind.
Also, if you want to see more Leslie Nielsen, in different roles, Check out Creepshow. This may be good viewing for next October.
I watched this movie four times in theater on full packed matinees just to enjoy the audiences laughing non stop on a roll. Leslie Nielsen hanging from the statues and the baseball sequences were always the stronger reactions. This is one of a very small pool of movies I felt pain in my rib cage for uncontrolled laughing. For me _The Naked Gun_ is the top best comedy on the whole history of cinema still valid today.
R.I.P. Leslie Nielsen, one of the greatest deadpan comedic actors.
It's no surprise that "Naked Gun" reminded you of "Airplane" because both movies were written and directed by the same team, known in Hollywood as the "Z.A.Z" team. Zucker, Abrams and Zucker.
"Naked Gun" was a spinoff of a short lived TV comedy starring Leslie Nielsen called " Police Squad", also created by Z.A.Z.
The "really skinny Tony Bennett" is the late actor Ricardo Montalban who is revered by sci-fi fans for his wicked acting in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," a "sequel" in number only because you can skip the sucky previous one and not lose anything. You should put "Star Trek II" on your list of must-see movies.
It's so funny how Leslie Nielsen became known as this comedian from parody movies since like the late 80's when he had a whole career before that. I always say if you loved him in that, go and watch "Forbidden Planet", a sci-fi movie where he plays the standard good-looking protagonist guy. It becomes a surrreal experience when he's not in a "funny" role.
Nielsen is surely missed. ("And don't call me Shirley!")
Top Secret needs to be Ashleigh's next spoof movie. Possibly the most underrated of them. Her Patreon members need to get on this.
If she's looking for a Top gun parody, then look no further than Hot Shots (also directed by Jim Abrahams)
Ricardo Montalban also had a long career in movies, but he was mostly known as Mr. Roarke in the TV series "Fantasy Island"
It's written and directed by the same guys who did "Airplane".
You have to take into account this was 7 or 8 years before OJ had his "troubles". When he was still just a beloved sports personality.
@10:28 I love this, everyone is so distracted by the fact that the doctor has a killer watch, they miss the joke that he's checking a pulse through a cast.
Something Leslie Nielsen used to do during television interviews was use this hand-held whoopie cushion. He'd squeeze it mid-interview and keep talking completely seriously. There are several videos of him doing it here on TH-cam. It made his television appearances really memorable!
Thank you that was the most I’ve laughed in ages!
Yes, we stole the tune for God Save The Queen!
13:14 pistachios, they used to cover them in red dye back in the day.
P.s. you need to read the credits for these old comedies. They hid all kinds of jokes in them.
Leslie Nielsen is a LEGEND!! absolutely great actor and we need more like him! Lets go with the sequels!
I love it when a joke is so funny you just can't laugh for a couple of seconds because your brain is broke
I'd love to see you react to the Christopher Guest improv comedies, This Is Spinal Tap, A Mighty Wind, Waiting For Guffman, Best In Show, Mascots. They're funny, not the same kind of humor as Airplane or Naked Gun, but still very funny in a dry humor way.
She has to at least do Spinal Tap. It's a rock'n'roll classic.
I'm a fan of Ricardo Montalban because of Fantasy Island way back in the day, and then as Khan in Star Trek, then as the grand dad in Spy Kids... Just an all around bad ass actor. I have NOT had this much fun watching this movie in so long. THANK you for reacting to it!
My dad took all of us to see this movie when it was new. I had no idea what to expect, but I had never laughed as hard as I did while watching this the first time (until "Hot Shots" 3 years later).
One of my all time favorite comedies!! My side hurts so bad when I watch this movie because of the endless laughs!! One of my favorite scenes is at the Queens Ball event when Frank and his partner check people that are walking in and Frank searched that poor guy only to reach in his partners pocket by mistake and goes.. "Hey!! He's got a picture of your wife!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
So this started as a short lived six episode tv series also with Leslie Nielsen called Police Squad and then the film came out. Also this is one of those films where it requires multiple viewings to catch all of the visual gags.
Yes it is also supposed to be real enemies of America and the opening scene was referenced in Family Guy when Stewie attacked Osama Bin Laden.
They were Idi Amin, Yasser Arafat, Fidel Castro, Ayatollah Khomeni, Muammar Gaddafi and Mikhail Gorbachev.
When he left his mic on in the bathroom, it reminds me of a time I was working at a bookstore, and an older guy, who worked there, left his phone on to page overhead for the entire store. He went in the bathroom with it like that. Needless to say...one of the funniest moments I've ever been lucky enough to witness. The panic of management, the noises. The absolute hilarity! And also, PS - How in the hell have you never seen the Wizard of Oz?? Like how?? LOL! :)
What is "page overhead"?
This a very funny movie. Glad you also really enjoyed it. look forward to seeing your reaction to the other 2
So glad you watched this. This is one of my favourite movies growing up and why I'll always love Leslie Nielson. I've been waiting for this reaction since airplane.
As a Dane, I'm rather proud of the fact, that Leslie Nielsen was half-Danish, with a Danish-born father in Canada, who was a constable in the Canadian mounted police, so his character in The Naked Gun is rather apropos, in a roundabout way. It's been a while since I've watched all these The Naked Gun movies, but they're all hilarious.
Wow, I didn't know that he was partly Danish.
Ah makes sense why he played a Mountie in a few episodes of Due South now
His brother Erik was Deputy Prime Minister of Canada as well.
I thought he said he was Irish-American (His mother was Welsh). 😁
Don't worry, it's never to soon to make OJ jokes! Every time I watch one of the scenes where his character is being shot, injured, maimed, etc., I say, "Good!" or "More, more!" Also, just FYI, Nancy Marchand, who played the Mayor, also played Tony Soprano's mother, so you may have recognized her from that. Great reactions today!!
She also looked like Margaret Thatcher, Who was Britain's Prime minister at the time.
@@JayM409 well, given she didn't recognize the world leaders at the start (which is fine at her age), I don't think she mistook the actress for Maggie Thatcher lol
Lenny Bruce made a JFK joke right after the killing. lol
I have had a rough couple of months and discovered you just a few days ago. I know it kind of silly but its like having a new friend to laugh with playing the movies I grew up in the 1980s with. Thank you Ashleigh for making a few days not so bad after all. Daryl
Great reaction. Love your laugh! Weird Al has cameos in the 2 follow up movies as well.
My inner American wishes you a happy Thanksgiving, Ashleigh!
Excited for this one! I can already hear Ashliegh laughing hysterically and I haven't pressed play yet!
Naked Gun came out of an 80s tv show that Nielson was in called, Police Squad. It only ran one season, but it was incredibly good!
It was an absolute joy to watch u react to this movie. U completely get it and that’s awesome.
