Somebody said that “Frank Drebin is someone who thinks he’s in an action movie, but doesn’t realize he’s in a comedy”, and I think that’s the perfect way to describe him lol

This man was, and always will be, a comedic legend. You are missed Mr Nielsen.

Naked gun is such a great example of jokes per minute that by the end of it you don´t even know what you are laughing about anymore

In case you didn’t know, Naked Gun is a movie based on a 6 episode tv show from a decade earlier called Police Squad. The opening sequence and many of the jokes at the station are continuations of jokes from the show. For instance, the scientist always had some weird experiment running in each episode, and the tall guy was always there.

Nielsen started as a serious drama actor. He was in the film "Forbidden Planet" and it's such a different feel. He's the perfect straightman because of his training.

Leslie Nielsen played this role soo effortlessly and it's like he is not even acting just behaving as he normally does. Truly a legend

Shoutout to chris's airplane quote"it's a large building with patients but thats not important right now"😂

So happy y'all enjoyed this! The back and forth bribery scene gets me every time! 😆

When this movie first came out, Weird Al would take dates to see it in the theater, without mentioning that he has a cameo in the first 4 minutes of the movie. What a move! Unrelated but fun fact: this is was about 4 years after OJ was turned down for the role of The Terminator because they felt like he couldn't possibly be believable as such a dangerous, murderous fiend.

Doesn't matter how many times you watched this movie, you'll notice new jokes every time

My Mother remembers Leslie Nielsen as this serious,dramatic actor. When we saw this she was laughing with tears in her eyes. That was the best part for me. The safe sex scene made her spit out her popcorn. Fantastic 👏🏻

5:10 - the bribe/reverse bribe was the funniest thing to me. It was just so ridiculous.

Leslie Nielsen was a legend. I first saw this when my sister got us a VCD. We tore up laughing at the collision sequence with the doctor.

You might need to rewatch this, but I love when the doctor was checking Nordberg's pulse THROUGH the arm cast.

All the Naked Gun films are just insane. Leslie Nielsen is so good at deadpan humor.

Saw this opening weekend back when it came out in Theaters. I was 14, and my Parents took me, my younger brother (11), his friend, and 2 of my friends. It was a packed house that day... I have never laughed so hard in my life. In fact, that Press Conference scene, where he left his mic on, I would periodically think about that scene during the movie, and just start laughing out of nowhere again!! This movie has been in my Top 5 ALL TIME favorite Movie experiences EVER! Just an all around amazing Movie, and much of it is due to the writing, and the incomparable Leslie Nielsen. RIP Leslie (Lt Frank Dreben... Police Squad)

They didn't have to try hard to get Weird Al. He loves the Zuckers, and he's said many times one of his favorite movies is Top Secret! He probably agreed before they even finished asking.

Naked Gun is a classic case of "We'll hit you with so many jokes, you will not remember why you're laughing anymore" and also, every joke hits, perfectly.

Leslie Nielsen was a Canadian treasure. His early acting career was not in comedy, but then they discovered that he could do that. Well, of course he can. Canada makes great comedians.

Fun fact, while this movie was in theaters weird Al yankovic used to take his dates to go see the movie wearing the same exact outfit he wore in the movie.

The red nuts that Frank and Ed were eating were pistachios that were dyed red. Back in the day, foreign companies would dye their pistachios red to hide unsightly blotches on the outer shells to make them more appealing.

I love this humor, both playing on words, and slapstick, even the dumb jokes are surprisingly well placed.

Just to let you know, when Leslie neilsen starred in Airplane in 1977 there were 1759 jokes applied through the movie. Every corner, every sentence, every shot had a joke applied inside. Signs, words, posters or other forms of media.

Everytime he says use your open eye Frank I die laughing. One of my favorite gags in the whole movie. I'm glad you said it because I've always thought OJ Simpson is actually excellent in this movie. His comedic timing with physical comedy is actually pretty good.

The boat scene at the beginning remains one of the most hilarious shit I've ever seen. It's just comic genius.

I remember when I was 10 and thinking the "Nothing to see here!" scene was one of the funniest things I ever saw. I remember saying something to my dad like, "He's saying nothing to see here, but look dad! The building is exploding behind him with fireworks!" while I was cry-laughing and gasping for air and wanting to rewind and watch again 😂. I'm still laughing just thinking about that scene. I'm sure my dad was proud that his 10 yr old daughter got the joke 😂

Before Deadpool there was this naked gun

I just want to say that I appreciate you subtitling the movie clips. A great solution to a problem most reaction channels face.

This really was a golden age for comedy movies.

Good to know that you guys enjoyed it. They don't make this kind of comedies anymore and they still tend to get some chuckles from me. Now watch the rest of the trilogy.

the jokes in this movie never got old! i say that even though i have watched it countless times since it came out. thank you leslie!!

The TV show Police Squad is pretty much just like this. It was canceled for being too funny. It really was. Network executives didn’t like how dense it was with visual gags especially, saying that people didn’t want to have to watch the screen constantly for fear of missing a joke.

Leslie is damn amazing. He narrated a deep sea documentary also in the 70's or 80's and hes voice is so fitting. I wish he would have made narrated nature documentaries more

I saw this in the theater when it came out. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard. 😂😂😂😂

One of the funniest action comedy films I've ever seen! This movie was released before the infamous OJ Simpson Murder Trial in 1995.

Leslie Nielson was famous for his serious and dramatic roles. Then he was cast in Airplane and the rest was comedy history

Top tier reactions! This one was one of the best. PLEASE PLEASE continue reacting to spoof movies!

My twin brother and I had seen this in a double feature at the movies with "Twins" and we just absolutely laughed our tails off! 😂 Leslie Nielsen was such a great actor in here, even when he played the role as ultra serious.

"Airplane!" was Nielsen's first comedy, as well as for Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack, and Peter Graves. After "Airplane!", Nielsen starred in a short-lived tv show (6 episodes) called "Police Squad", which was the basis for the "Naked Gun" trilogy. BTW, you guys are officially my favorite reactors.

The scene where he is on the ledge is one of the funniest things ever.🤣🤣

Man, if only I could rewatch this movie for the first time again (still one of the funniest movies ever). It's just pure comedi gold.

All three movies were born from the tv series "Police Squad!" Absolutely hilarious. Sad that there are only 6 episodes.

Just wanted to wish you two good luck, we're counting on you.

One gag a lot of reactors miss: The cheese that gets put on top of Frank's refrigerator crawls slowly across the surface...

2:45 I watched this movie in its opening week four times in full packed matinées, countless times in cable tv, and in public television, and it is today for the first time I catch the joke of the hospital building named as “The Hospital”. 🤦🏾‍♂️

The interviews he did with his little fart machine were amazing. The one where the interview was trying to be serious and he kept squeezing one out at inappropriate times is so funny.

"Sexual assault with a concrete dildo?!" This is my favorite quote of all time. It's not even close.

80s was definitely the best decade for comedies.. Even at 8 years old white haired Leslie Nielsen was my favorite actor

I quote this movie often haha I basically know it by heart. I remember watching it when I was a kid and this movie is funny even when it's translated to other languages (in my case Polish). Also, I've always loved how the whole "Enrico Palazzo" plot pays out later when Frank saves the day and everyone yells "It's Enrico Palazzo"

It's been mentioned already that Leslie Nielsen was a dramatic actor. He played dozens of serious roles on TV. What I find really funny is that in this period of doing all of this comedy, it wasn't just a role. He would frequently do interviews in a very serious way. But, he always made sure he had a WHOOPI cushion in his pocket. And at certain points in a serious interview he would lean forward to let out a and then say "Excuse Me!!" He just hit this stride later in life and it was Fantastic.

The one film that had me gasping for air, in the theatre, from laughing so hard...pure genius!

The bathroom scene has me cracking up no matter how many times I see it. LOL

They simply just do NOT make films like this anymore😂 Absolute classic ❤ Leslie Nielson was a frikkin legend 👏🏻 ❤️

Almost 30K subscribers so congratulations are almost in order! I'm so glad you liked this movie so much. It has held up so well over the years.

Man, not only do you manage to catch the feeling of every film you watch n with your editing, you balance it perfectly with your commentary. Seriously, for such a minimal premise, you've really nailed it.

Hey, it's Enrique Palazzo!

The wet paint part had me in TEARS

This is easily one of my favourite movies ever, so fun seeing others react to it

The actor playing the driving instructor, John Houseman, was sort of a celebrity in the '80s. I saw him in a lot of ads. I think he became famous because of a '70s movie called "The Paper Chase," where he played a prestigious law professor. The way we knew him was just how you see him in the driving scene; very dry, and composed.

It's so sweet that they deadpanned every scene. Soon after, this style of comedy became self-aware and the party was pretty much over.

These guys are cracking me up. They get the humor. I remember renting this at a video store & my friends girlfriend hated it . Some people don’t get it.

"this is so fuckin stupid" is precisely the comedic genius of these movies, they get me to laugh twice, once at the joke and then again at myself for being dumb enough to laugh at the joke

In case you don't recognize her, the actress playing the mayor is the same actress who played Tony's psychotic mom on the Sopranos.

OJ kills it in every scene.

Leslie Nielson made his career, and defined an entire style of comedy, by acting in ridiculous scenes and delivering absurd dialogue completely deadpan and straight-faced. He was originally a serious dramatic actor (he was the captain of the ship in the original 1972 'The Poseidon Adventure') but when he was cast in Airplane! his entire career trajectory changed, despite him barely having to change his acting style at all.

The sequel is even better! My grandmother took me to go see these in the theater when i was a kid and everyone was turned around watching me cause I was laughing so hard I nearly fell out of my seat into the isle!

You guys do some of the best movie reactions I've seen. You really get the comedy on a deeper level which is great and it makes it super fun to watch.

Saw this in the theater back when I was in college couldn't stop crying and almost fell out of my seat.😂😂

I completely laughed along with you guys. This movie is so funny and clever with its jokes and especially visual gags. I lost my mind when OJ stepped on the bear trap my first time watching as well 😂

The best part of these movies is that the drop off of the sequels is actually little to none. They are as good as this one.

Leslie Neilsen nailed it. The Naked Gun is a movie spin-off of a TV show called Police Squad. They hired a dramatic actor to do comedy. Now he's known for comedy. Nailed it.

I love this movie so much, I’m so glad you guys did this one!!!

Leslie Nielsen was a Legend. They don't do movies like this in this days.

The thing about this movie is there are so many jokes that even if you’ve seen it you will not remember all the joke or you missed a few jokes so a second or third watching is still fun

Love this film, I actually first saw Leslie Nielsen in Creepshow before he became known for his comedy roles. This has to be my favourite reaction to this film, I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes.

RIP Leslie Nielsen. He was truly hilarious.

Last time I watched this was with my friend years ago and we were on 🍄 My stomach still hurts from laughing

This movie made me lose brain cells in the best way possible!!! 🤣😂😆🤣😂😆

This is one of my favorites from back in the day. Glad you guys had a good laugh the entire time.

Love the Police Squad and Naked Gun series. The master of mannerisms Lesley Nielson is fantastic, with genius comedic timing. Has me in tears everytime!

Such fast paced jokes, and they almost always land.

The Naked Gun, based on the show Police Files (in fact, the films might as well be feature-length episodes) is a wonderful example of Leslie Nielson's perfect comedic timing. Nielson started as a pure serious actor back in his early career, and was pretty much a washed up hasbin actor because he had been typecast as a serious lead for dramatic and sci-fi films of the era. That was until the film Airplane! came out. Putting him as the comically serious doctor in that film relaunched his career as a comedic actor, at which point he took off running, whoopy cushion in jacket, and never looked back. And just think, there is an entire three-five generations out there, me included, who have never known Leslie Nielson as anything more than one of the funniest actors of his time.

Leslie Nielsen enjoyed a long career in dramatic roles (Including appearing in Forbidden Planet, a pioneering sci-fi film that pretty much created the modern space sci-fi genre), which coincidentally made him perfect to be the straight man to the ZAZ comedic style. He delivered some of the best deadpan/straight man performances in comedies.

You guys were great! Thanks to you I watched this film again. Fantastic😊

Above all, there's comedy for me. And like you said, it's packed with jokes all over the place. Good jokes. You don't have to be offensive or cheap to get a laugh. But you have to put some work into it. I love seeing younger people from around the globe experiencing things that are such a huge part of me. Awesome video.

God I love this movie. Such a masterpiece from such a simple, innocent time -- or so it seems in hindsight...

this movie is such a goddamn delight, you guys are truly the coolest nice dude movie night around

Even after watching this movie like 10 times (the first time when I was not more than 12 years old), it still makes me laugh so hard. I think this is hands down the funniest movie ever made. Though I know that everyone has a different sense of humor - this one just hits me 100%. I mean… „Nice Beaver“ brings me to tears everytime :D

It's been a long time since reactors have left in the pistachio scene and questioned it. LOL. I've seen to many of these. Great job guys. The stabbing of the fish is maybe as much as I've ever laughed in a non-Monty Python movie.

Honestly for me another level of funny is that Leslie is Canadian and plays an American detective, who can’t sing the us national anthem and does the whole Queen table surfing. Maybe that’s just me 🤔 Also Drebin kinda reminds me of Drax from Guardians of the galaxy. He takes everything sooo literally.

Whst people don’t get is Leslie Nielsen was a very serious actor in the old days so it really threw people off and surprised them. I remember my father telling me this when the movie came out and since looked it up years back.

Wow another awesome video from you guys... I only saw your upload today and I've already watched your reaction video twice. Hope you channel grows more and more.

Whenever I watch this movie I think of watching it with my family when I was 7 or 8, and I asked my dad why she was sucking Drebin's finger like that. My dad went "she thinks it's a piece of meat" and mam nudged his arm, playfully admonishing him "John!" and it took me 20 years to rewatch it and get the joke xD Funny dude was my old man lol. I hope you watch Spy Hard sometime, I saw it again the other day and it's one of Neilson's best imo ^_^

I just watched this movie yesterday and it still holds up to me.

I'm so glad that out of all the roles O.J. Could have gotten he got this one. Really satisfying to watch

We all need a good laugh every now and then. You guys were the perfect duo to react to this movie. 👍

I hope you guys get the chance to watch the other Naked Gun movies. The trilogy will always be hilariously awesome to me. 😁

The baseball scene in this movie is on every time someone strikes out and we're winning or tied. We have fun at our ball park lol! I usually dont really like plots being "character is so incompetent at his job that you wonder just how they got in with all of these accidents". And I probably still wont like this movie for that reason alone. But youve gotta admit...it knows what it is and doesnt even try to hide its silliness

And that, kids, is how you do perfect comedic writing

I laughed equally hard to these classic scenes as with you. Thanks for the video, it was fun
