Another dead hero... :( RIP

[Colonel]

Yeah the Airplane films and the Naked Gun films were part of my childhood.

[Mr Phlanj]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

police squad and naked gun were just soo funny and quotable.

"Do you think you can beat the champ?"
"I could beat him blindfolded"
"WHAT IF HE'S NOT BLINDFOLDED?"
"I CAN STILL BEAT HIM!!"

[Hellfire_WZ]

A great loss, he was one of the classic comic actors

Just don't call him Shirley

[Challenger #001]

And to think I only watched Naked Gun 33 1/3 a few days ago. :(

[OBH]

"Sergeant! Book her and take her away!!"
*shakes 2 coppers hands*
"Sgt.Booker, Sgt.Take-her-away"

Loved it. RIP funny sir.

edit:
Just mentioned the blindfolded quote but then saw you beat me to it kieran :)

[Flint Fandango]

He was one of the most amusing actors I´ve ever seen in movies...
R.i.P.

[yusik]

[infoxicated]

"Nice beaver!" :)

[Medusa]

It's a great credit to his talent that his RIP thread made me laugh. I think. Maybe that says something about me...LOL.

[Mr Phlanj]

its nice knowing that he can still make us lol even after he’s gone. i still try and use "just like a midget in a urinal, im going to have to stay on my toes" whenever its relevant. I still havnt had the chance to use

“we need to get to a hospital”
“why what is it?
“its a big building with sick people in it, but thats not important right now”

[Colonel]

Haha just found this quote from Naked Gun 2 1/2, it's ace:
"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."

:lol

Might have to get hold of some of his films for old times' sake. I'm sure there'll be a Leslie Nielsen season on Film4 or something soon.

[Harvai]

Channel 10 here in Australia are showing Flying High and The Naked Gun tonight as a tribute, which is great as Leslie Nielsen is one of my favourite comedy actors. RIP.
