Title: Naked Gun (1988)
Continuing from the "Airplane" post, this is another classic from the team of Abrahams, Zucker and Zucker. "Naked Gun" is simply full of belly laughs and can be seen over and over again without getting old, despite having OJ Simpson as one of the stars. I wonder if he gets royalties from this movie.
Memorable scene:
The entire baseball game scene when Frank Drebin disguised himself as the umpire. See video above.
Quotes from movie:
"It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day."
"Nice beaver!"
"Oh, and one more thing: I faked every orgasm!"
"Doctors say that Nordberg has a 50 - 50 chance of living, though there's only a 10 percent chance of that."
"It's a topsy-turvy world, and maybe the problems of two people don't amount to a hill of beans. But this is our hill. And these are our beans!"
"It's true what they say: Cops and women don't mix. It's like eating a spoonful of Drano, sure it'll clean you out, but it'll leave you hollow inside."
Leslie Nielsen is the linking actor from "Airplane". He had a pretty good comedic run in the 80's.

I love this one, so much so that I even own the vhs.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I still catch it on cable every so often.
ReplyDeleteI was in the Denver airport many years ago. Over the P.A. system I hear, "Enrico Pallazzo, please pick up the courtesey phone..." I may have been the only one there who was laughing his a$$ off.
