@@fromthe90s21 Hope it works. Problem is, Nielsen (and others like him; Stack, Bridges) were good in comedy, in part, because it was sort of puncturing his straight-laced, slightly pompous, stuffed shirt persona. Neeson has always been a skilled A-list actor. Imagine Nielsen, before he was in comedy, on _Mystery Science Theater_ - easy, right? Neeson, not so much. _A Million Ways to Die in the West_ was pretty dark, though Neeson wasn't playing for laughs in that.

Originally, they used to harvest pistachios by leaving on the tree long enough until they fell off and could be gathered up on the ground. This left ugly stains on the shells, so the red was intense enough to cover over these stains. Since then, they have invented machines to pick them off the tree itself, and hence the need for the stain not needed.

But yeah, he had his great breakthrough with "Airplane!". No-one played deadpan as well as he did, and he got that from his roots as a dramatic actor.

Even crazier gags, Val Kilmer's first big role and he nails it, spoof of Elvis war flicks, best boot humor in movie history.. and sort of a musical as well. In my personal ranking Airplane and Top Secret are neck and neck.

Real pistachios are a sort of greenish-brown andI guess they felt the rose color made them look more appealing. Like real butter is an off-white but they add yellow color to sell it better. And tuna used to be called "horse mackerel" and didn't become popular until they canged the name. ("Horse" and "pony" used to be used to imply size on things not related to animals, i.e., horse chestnuts, pony truck (on a steam loco).)

In the stakeout scene they are eating pistachio nuts. They used to dye the shells red or green to hide any blemishes in the shells because consumers thought the nut inside was bad of there was a blemish on the shell. Since the pistachio crop production in the states grew to a competitive level on a world scale they quit dying the shells.

This is a great absurdist comedy. The Naked Gun and the show that preceded it, Police Squad, were inspired by the TV show Dragnet. Since you liked this one, I'd recommend Airplane. It's a comedy like this, and it's where Leslie Nielsen transitioned from a serious actor into a comedy star.

I was 12 when this movie came out. My Dad took me to the theater, it was December of 1988. The theater was packed. I was still just a bit too young to catch on to some of the sexual puns at first but I was much wiser after we left the show lol........ Let me tell you - it was an experience you had to be there to appreciate. The live mic restroom scene and the office/balcony scene were so funny the entire theater was dying. I thought my Dad was going to stroke out he could hardly breathe! People were literally falling down off their chairs and smacking the floor, the armrests, their thighs, each other. At the end of the film it got a standing ovation and huge cheers. For a stupid, non-sensical, plotless spoof. In the 120 or so years of the motion picture industry, This movie may very well be the funniest film ever made to this very day.

"Nordberg" was a billboard on top of a factory, years back, visible when driving south out of Milwaukee, WI on I43. I always assumed it was the name of the company.

Apparently, so did the ZAZs.
