'The Queen' was played by Jeanette Charles who made a living turning up as her in things. The Queen herself was a big comedy fan who loved stuff like this and stand up comedy!

The movie is subtitled "From the files of Police Squad!" because it was based on a short lived TV series called Police Squad! (only six episodes were made). It starred the same cast apart from OJ Simpson, whose character of Nordberg was played by another actor, and was made by the same team that did this movie. Between Airplane! and this movie the team made another spoof called Top Secret!, which was a parody on spy movies and Elvis movies. It starred Val Kilmer in his first big role.

The driving instructor is John Houseman. He’s very notable for instructing Juliard students and playing a very uptight law professor in “The Paper Chase” which earned him a Academy Award.

One of the funniest action comedy movies ever made! It also pokes fun at the buddy cop genre too.

3:32 Holy smokes! I honestly never noticed that small detail of the luggages being thrown out like that. I mean I’ve seen that movie so many times since the 90’s, but this is absolutely the first time you pointed it out. Frickin’ awesome find😂

"Top Secret!" (1984) is by the same people and very good indeed, if you need further cheering up. 😄

Fun reaction! Thx, Mary!! Yes there are two more Naked Gun Movies, BUT, before you finish those other two. I HIGHLY recommend watching " Top Secret" from the same filmmakers! You'll LOVE it!!

I don't want to hype up the second Naked Gun movie, but I saw the end part of it when I was very young, and two of the jokes stuck with me for decades ... I hope you enjoy them as much as I did! 23:27 - Yep, there's a second (and third) movie - plus there's Police Squad, the short but very amusing TV series that the films are based upon.

I totally relate to the "need a lighthearted movie to pick me up" feeling. I usually go to my favorite feel good movies from the 80s like Short Circuit, Uncle Buck, The Goonies, Better Off Dead, Spaceballs, Ferris Bueller's Day Off...always snap me out of a funk or make me feel better when I'm sick.

The bit with the $20 bill on the docks is one of my all-time favorite gags.

This movie was before any of the OJ drama, and it was this movie that taught me about the profitability of controversy. When the murder of his wife became news this movie and it's sequel were a few years old, but when I went to the local Blockbuster with my parents the Naked Gun movies were showcased with several copies as if it were a new release, and all the copies were rented-humanity is shameless.Also, building contractors are always corrupt.

Police Squad was the short lived spoof series that the naked gun movies came about from, Think of them as like 30 minute naked gun stories staring Leslie Neilson also

The third Naked Gun movie (33 1/3) was released in March 1994. The Simpson Goldman murders were in June. OJ was generally popular prior to that.

There are two sequels (Naked Gun 2 1/2 and Naked Gun 33 1/3) and they're both great. Fun fact: when Leslie Nielsen passed away in 2010, ESPN (sports network) ran an obituary for "Enrico Palazzo." It made a sad affair rather funny. Also, on his gravestone the epitaph reads "Let 'er Rip" which is a reference to a practical joke he would always play on interviewers where he would trigger a fart machine he kept on him during the interview. And he actually met the Queen a few years before his death in his native Canada. He's also considered a citizen of the state of West Virginia (where I'm from) because he visited here frequently and loved it. People spotted him all the time here, and he even did a few local commercials for us.

When Leslie Nielsen sadly passed away ESPN wrote an eulogy about Enrico Palazzo hahahaha.

All 3 Naked Gun movies are great and worth watching!

There are some heavyweight/serious actors in the cast [much like “Airplane!”]… The driving instructor, John Houseman…and Ed, Frank’s police captain…both were “Best Supporting Actor” Oscar winners… And Leslie Nielsen had long been a successful dramatic actor as well.

The opening on the boat is so good

They were going to cast OJ as the terminator. The producers thought Americans wouldn't buy him as a murderer.

To "clear" someone means to prove that they're innocent. You might also hear the phrase "cleared of all charges", which means that all the criminal charges against someone were found to be baseless. Ricardo Montalban, the actor playing Ludwig, is most well known for starring the 1970s TV show Fantasy Island for seven seasons. He played Mr. Rourke, the owner/operator of a mysterious island where mostly wealthy people could go to live out their fantasies. It was heavily implied that there was a supernatural element as people often relived events from their young, appeared to go back in time, etc. The baseball player who tried to kill the queen is Reggie Jackson, a quite famous baseball player.

Great reaction. 👍 Never thought I'd hear Mary say "Grab the penis!" 😂

It's so funny how all these reactors have no idea that the female lead is Elvis Presley's widow.

Great cast…and always good for a laugh.

Loaded Weapon is also amazing. Same style. Stars Samuel L Jackson. Makes fun of Lethal Weapon so it helps if you've seen that first.

Oh this movies a gem.

"Just shut off your brain and enjoy the movie." Precisely! Well done, buddy. Glad you got the laugh you needed.

Oh god, this is the type of silliness that still makes people laugh, cause it is just so darn funny!

All the actors had only done straight roles before..none had a comedic background. Will also take this moment to highlight the skills of Ricardo Montalban (Ludwig) and recommend a movie to react to ... Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan... he is brilliant in that.

The woman speaking while Leslie Nielsen is going to the bathroom with his mike still on is Nancy Marchand who brilliantly played Tony Soprano’s mother on The Sopranos.

O J was in a TV pilot called "The Frogmen" in 1994 where he was gifted a Navy SEAL team knife after training for the role of a retired SEAL team member. That knife went missing after the murders a few months later. The murder trial ended his acting career The Frogmen pilot was never aired.

She's glowing ,, hope your pregnancy is going well

The were 2 Academy Award winners in that movie, George Kennedy, Best Supporting Actor for "Cool Hand Luke," (1967), and John Houseman, Best Supporting Actor for "The Paper Chase," (1973). And, on a historical note, British Queen Elizabeth did attend a Major League Baseball game - as a guest of President George H W Bush - on 15 May1991. However, it was in Baltimore, Maryland, at old Memorial Stadium. (The Oakland Athletics beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-3.)

"Doing nothing is very hard to do... you never know when you're finished." ~ Leslie Nielsen

OJ 's trial was 6 years after this film. He didn't do much acting since the trial.

Love the way you edit. Kudos!!

"Hey.. it's Enrico Palazzo!!"

The main villain is Ricardo Montalbahn. He played the owner of Fantasy Island tv show where guests can fulfill their fantasies or learn from their sins. He was also famous for playing Kahn in Star Trek the original series. He reprised his role in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn which was a great movie.

There are 3 movies in the series plus the TV series (6 episodes). The movie are all great.

Great reaction Mary. This was a fun movie. Have a great day!

The third one was the final movie, OJ did before his infamous trial

16:45 So true Mary. The dad of a friend of mine was the janitor in a slaughterhouse, and once he took us with him and showed us around. I must have been 8 or 9 at that time. Still remember that smell even over 40 years later. Was probably the only time as a kid where I really felt the need for a shower without my mom telling me to do so... 😅

@3:29 That may be the most visceral reaction I've ever witnessed to that joke.

tHERE WERE MOMENTS THAT LEFT ME DYING!!!!!!

You made my day as well. Thanks.

I HEAR YOU GIRL!!!

Good stuff Mary, we love you

Leslie Nielsen is such a legend. So funny

Not only are there two sequels to this, there's also a six episode TV show called Police Squad! that the movies were based on. Also starring Leslie Nielsen.

Naked Gun was released several years before the murder trial.

Thank you👍

The woman who walks into the office at 10:35 is the mother of the Zucker brothers (the directors). She has been in most of their movies, including Airplane! (she was the woman who tries to put on her lipstick during the flight and ends up with it all over her face) and even a more serious movie, Ghost (she was the woman who worked at the bank that Whoopi Goldberg talks to to withdraw the money).

Thanks Mary...great movie...love your reactions God bless and hope you are feeling well... ❤❤❤❤

11:20 i don't remember frank dropping in the background like that 🤣

Now you have 2 more Naked Gun movies and 1 more Airplane movie to check out.

7:30 Don't forget the rich Corinthian leather.

The Naked Gun?! Let’s go!

there are 2 more Movies and they are both worth checking out. Also check out Nuns on the run (1990) and Mousehunt (1997)

Sometimes you just need silliness & giggles!!! It’s medicine for the soul😂 Please please pleeeeease consider watching “My Father The Hero” with Gerard Depardieu & Katherine Heigl (1994) - it’s hilariously funny like this too & often gets overlooked. I think you’d love it! It’d make my year if you were able to react to it 🫶

7:23 BTW those are lion fish, they look all fancy (and maybe back then they were expensive) but they're a massively invasive species now. You can actually get paid to hunt them in Florida and the Bahamas, and they apparently make pretty good eatin'.

One of the greatest comedies ever made, cool reaction as always Mary, you have a good night sweetie 🥰❤️

The assassin statement is really true some girls in Korea were told they were on a prank show and killed a North Korean defector.

"Everywhere I go, something reminds me of her"

“You killed 5 actors - GOOD ones!” 😂😂

OJ was a football player turned sports announcer, and because of his recognizability, he got some roles. All that is before the various charges, which basically ended his announcing career.

*Nice beaver!* 😅

A fav for yrs

The movies had a bigger budget/cast, but I really liked the TV series more. It was just a better format, imo. That whole short-lived genre was the height of comedy at the time, and being a silly teenager at the time, it really shaped our sense of humor, freed it up, basically validated all us kids with a weird sense of humor. This, Airplane, Top Secret (the best one of those movies), was a "whole thing" in the 80s. Weird was very in, and we LOVED it. The weirder the better. Anyway, the TV series was very short-lived, but just fit television more than a theater, because it felt more like they were twisting what we were used to more. A lot of new audiences literally would stumble into it unawares and were mind-blown. We would all talk about it over the lunchroom table in Jr. High, laughing our asses off simply TALKING about it. Great stuff, great memories.

Finally ... somebody gets it. After watching so many "reactors" reacting to movies like this and trying to "make sense of it" it's refreshing to see someone just "turn off your brain" and enjoy the movie for what it is.

I remember when I was young, really wondering what a donzerlee light was.

I remember nostalgia critic reviewing this and there was a funny bit were the director didn’t think OJ Simpson was able to play a convincing enough killer. If only the jury thought the same.

Police Squad was the TV show the movies were based on. Only 6 episodes but all of them great

The second one and the third one are just as funny.

If you're looking for another funny cop/mystery movie, Hot Fuzz, (if you like British humor) is great.

So - there are a great number of jokes in this film, some extraordinary blatant, and some subtle. And here's one that's so subtle, I didn't realize it until about a year ago. The drug that was most commonly shipped out of South America is NOT heroin.

All 3 are good.

Hey Mary, i was in choir for 7 years and learned the United States anthem along with the Canadian anthem. You would be amazed how many people sing the anthems incorrectly. So many people off pitch, sharp, flat, etc... and these are "trained" musicians who just cant get it right!

I AM serious. And don't call me Shirley.

great video and R.I.P Leslie Nielsen great actor

It's so strange in hindsight to see OJ in these movies. It wasn't at the time, but holy cow.

The Naked Gun 2 and 3 are also very funny.

The Love Bug 1968, Walking with Dinosaurs The Movie 2013, Looney Tunes Back In Action 2003, Angry Birds 2016, Pixels 2015.

There are 2 more and all worth a watch

HOT SHOTS is probably my favorite comedy. I didn't see if you've done that yet, but 'twould be good.

The first one is the best and funniest, but The Naked Gun 2 1/2 is pretty close. So worth watching definitively.

Mary! You’re the first person that noticed that Enrico Palazzo’s huge tuxedo fits Frank perfectly. Do check out the two Naked Gun sequels. They’re quite good. Also, you should read the screen credits. There’s some comedy gold in there. The chalk outline is only when you’re dead, but it’s still funny, floating on the water.

twirling inside

Highly recommend watching the other two Naked Gun movies. But make sure you read the end credits of both, as there's lots of jokes hidden in the credits.

Oh wow, she really deserved a win after everything 😂😂😂 happy for you mate

10:17 - "Clear" means to prove someone is innocent.

I would give police squad a watch too. It was a very short show run (at 6 episodes) but man I loved that show back when it was on. I also take it you haven't watched the 80's comedy Police Academy.

All three movies in the series are equally good.

OJ Simpson was considered to star as the Terminator but didn’t get the part because the studio and director didn’t think anyone would believe he could be a cold blooded cyborg.

You always applaud at the end of the anthem to cheer the game starting. Sometimes the singer. The Blackhawks (hockey) have an opera singer who does theirs, and Chicago has a tradition of going nuts the whole time. He sometimes does it for a baseball or basketball team, and people watching it get very confused

Now that you've seen Aiprlane and The Naked Gun, I highly recommend Top Secret and Hot Shots. Same style of comedy from the same creators.

Senshi needs a dancing mary compilation

A great movie to cheer up your mood. Please check out part two and three. There were also quit good as the first one in my opinion. Greetings from Germany

Don't worry. Corrupt construction contractors are pretty global.

Great! I hope U'll react to whole trilogy

Safe sex is never disgusting Mary
