I loved the Naked Gun films. RIP.

Gutted.

Although his output of late has been scraping the bottom of the barrel somewhat (The "Movie" movies for example) but still this is sad news

RIP.

[The Nal]

Sad news. He was an insanely funny man.

[jump]

I got into an arguement with my mate the other day about which was better Naked Gun or Airplane.

On the plus side I actually know who he was unlike some of these dead celebs.

So sad... R.I.P My Man...

[Cardboard Box City]

Oh my god.

Even as the President in Scary Movie 3 he proved he was still the master at that sort of comedy.

Genuinely gutted.

"...sexual assualt with a concrete dildo?!"

[Cardboard Box City]

Howay then.

Few classics from his films I think.

I'll start:

Jane Spencer: Yeah, you know, a white guy. A moustache. About six-foot-three.

Lt. Frank Drebin: Awfully big moustache.

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.

Lt. Frank Drebin: [into a phone] Ed, it's Frank. Listen, I'm onto something big here. I'm going to need you and Nordberg in on this. I need both of you to meet me tomorrow at the marina.

[pause]

Lt. Frank Drebin: Huh?

[pause]

Lt. Frank Drebin: What's Nordberg doing in Detroit?

[pause]

Lt. Frank Drebin: So, send him some plane fare and a new pair of pants.

Lt. Frank Drebin: I want a world where Frank junior and all the Frank juniors can sit under a shady tree, breathe the air, swim in the ocean, and go into a 7-11 without an interpreter.

[G-Stud]

Gutted, he was a comedy genius.

[jump]

"Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes."

[gratedenini]

Didn`t think he was 84.

Airplane is a classic.... Rapunzel, Rapunzel...to the Tower.

84 is a good whack though, so RIP Les.

"Like a blind man in an orgy, I was going to have to feel my way around."

[Ed209]

Frank: That's the red-light district. I wonder why Savage is hanging around down there.

Ed: Sex, Frank?

Frank: Uh, no, not right now, Ed.

RIP Leslie

[Greeny_Musicchild]

"I'd known her for years. We used to go to all the police functions together. Ah, how I loved her, but she had her music. I think she had her music. She'd hang out with the Chicago Male Chorus and Symphony. I don't recall her playing an instrument or being able to carry a tune. Yet she was on the road 300 days of the year. In fact, I bought her a harp for Christmas. She asked me what it was."

[jump]

"Lt. Frank Drebin: I'm single! I love being single! I haven't had this much sex since I was a Boy Scout leader!

Lt. Frank Drebin: I mean at the time I was dating a lot."

“You're excited? You should feel my nipples!”

[Ed209]

The attempt on Nordberg's life left me shaken and disturbed, and all the questions kept coming up over and over again, like bubbles in a case of club soda. Who was this character in the hospital? And why was he trying to kill Nordberg? And for whom? Did Ludwig lie to me? I didn't have any proof, but somehow, I didn't entirely trust him either. Why was the 'I Luv You' not listed in Ludwig's records? And if it was, did he know about it? And if he didn't, who did? And where the hell was I?

[rexclark]

Sad news, never realised how old he was.

R.I.P

"I couldn't believe it was her. It was like a dream. But there she was, just as I remembered her. That delicately beautiful face. And a body that could melt a cheese sandwich from across the room. And breasts that seemed to say... "Hey! Look at these!" She was the kind of woman who made you want to drop to your knees and thank God you were a man! She reminded me of my mother, all right. No doubt about it."

[rabid]

A cemetary? What is it?

It's a big field with dead people, but that's not important right now.

[Greeny_Musicchild]

"This is Frank Drebin, Police Squad. Throw down your guns, and come on out with your hands up. Or come on out, then throw down your guns, whichever way you wanna do it. Just remember the two key elements here: one, guns to be thrown down; two, come on out! "

[Ed209]

Its just been announced that Irvin Kershner, director of Empire Strikes Back, has passed away at the age of 87. RIP to both. Sad day for cinema

[modey]

Really sad news, I was genuinely shocked when I hear this today, true comedy legend, the naked gun and airplane films are still just as funny today

R.I.P

[llcoolphil]

Sad news. Airplane! is the funniest film ever

[LondonTom]

Indeed was gutted to hear this. RIP, guess I am going have to watch Airplane and the Naked Gun films this week then.

[Kowalski]

Sad news. Airplane is in my top three films of all time.

And Naked Gun series was also superb.
