I loved the opening sequence to that.
Funny to think that Neilson was a bad guy in Columbo once.

Foot's on the other hand
Airplane is the funnier film production. The writing, story, breadth and number of characters (very few comedy films have so many scene stealing individuals) I could genuinely be here all day.
Naked Gun, however, has my favouritest scene (and indeed the second greatest comedy film)... when he's backstop, and realises the whole stadium is resting on his word, and everyone cheers him when he calls 'strike'...cue the calling of strike before the ball reaches the batter and theatrics evolving into a moonwalk and bodypop (by a clearly young and black 'stuntman').
You will never see a film comedy to eclipse these two. The nearest modern film that coems anywhere close is Dumb and Dumber.
And the poor kids of today that think Will Ferrill is some sort of genius?

I'm totally torn here.
I really loved Police Squad! In Color, but contrarily felt that the films never quite nailed it - funny, yes, but there was somthing missing...
Airplane! is a work of genius tho. So filmicly I'd say Airplane!, but my heart lies with Drebbin and Police Squad!
*reads Reno's post*
At least I'm not alone re: PS/NG...

Paraphrasing from memory here...
"What's wrong with my husband, doc?"
"We need to get him to a hospital right away"
"To a hospital?" What is it??"
"It's a big building full of patients... But that's not important right now."
Another brilliant and recurrent gag in Airplane, the "but that's not important right now".
Fucking ace film. Watched a couple of months back for the first time in a long time, and it still makes me laugh as much.

At the risk of stinking up the thread, both should be shown to the youth of today to educate them as to what a real spoof film should be. Fucking ***** Movie series

Aye, but you'd need show them even earlier disaster movies and police shows for them to fully appreciate
The bit in one of the Naked Gun films, where he drives everywhere in reverse was quite funny, like in Critters, when the shape-shifting intergalactic bounty hunter drives everywhere in reverse.
The Police Squad television series Naked Gun was based on, was okay. The forensic bloke asking the little kid for those home-made porn photos he found in his parent's draw, the attempt to keep still with the pretend freeze-frame when the end credits role etc.

From Naked Gun (nicked from IMDB shamelessly)
Frank: Nice beaver!
Jane: [producing a stuffed beaver] Thank you. I just had it stuffed.
[Drebin searches a drawer]
Frank: Bingo!
[pulls out a bingo card]
Jane: Would you like a nightcap?
Frank: No, thank you, I don't wear them.
[Frank recalls a prior love]
Frank: I'd known her for years. We used to go to all the police functions together. Ah, how I loved her, but she had her music. I think she had her music. She'd hang out with the Chicago Male Chorus and Symphony. I don't recall her playing an instrument or being able to carry a tune. Yet she was on the road 300 days of the year. In fact, I bought her a harp for Christmas. She asked me what it was.
Vincent Ludwig: Drebin!
Jane: Frank!
Frank: You're both right.
Thug: Drebin?
Frank: Yeah!
Thug: I got a message for you from Vincent Ludwig!
[Shoots gun at Drebin]
Thug: Take this, you son of a bitch!
Frank: I'm sorry. I can't hear you! Don't fire the gun while you're talking!
Mayor: Oh, Drebin. I don't want any trouble like you had last year on the south side. Understand? That's my policy.
Frank: Yes, well when I see five weirdo's dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of a hundred people, I shoot the bastards, that's my policy.
Mayor: That was a Shakespeare in the park production of "Julius Caesar" you moron! You killed five actors, good ones!

[as the plane prepares to take off]
Hanging Lady: Nervous?
Ted Striker: Yes.
Hanging Lady: First time?
Ted Striker: No, I've been nervous lots of times.
Elaine Dickinson: You got a letter from headquarters this morning.
Ted Striker: What is it?
Elaine Dickinson: It's a big building where generals meet, but that's not important.
Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?
Captain Oveur: I can't tell.
Rumack: You can tell me. I'm a doctor.
Captain Oveur: No. I mean I'm just not sure.
Rumack: Well, can't you take a guess?
Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.
Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours?
Captain Oveur: You ever been in a cockpit before?
Joey: No sir, I've never been up in a plane before.
Captain Oveur: You ever seen a grown man naked?
Young Boy with Coffee: Excuse me, I happened to be passing, and I thought you might like some coffee.
Little Girl: Oh, that's very nice of you, thank you.
[takes coffee]
Little Girl: Oh, won't you sit down?
Young Boy with Coffee: Cream?
Little Girl: No, thank you, I take it black, like my men.
Ted Striker: Mayday! Mayday!
Steve McCroskey: What the heck is that?
Johnny: Why, that's the Russian New Year. We can have a parade and serve hot hors d'oeuvres...

I laughed at airplane when I was 7, I have never laughed at the naked gun.

Naked Gun just started on Film4 +1 (or 30 minutes left on Film4, if that's your thing).
**** Movie films take note, this is how you do a fucking spoof

Naked Gun ftw.
A picture of you Frank on the front page sprawled across a table on top of Queen Elizabeth- and they call that news!
Catching Airplane at Christmas is felt a bit dated, probably as it is so quotable.
The nearest I choked with laughter in a cinema was Drebbin hanging off a statue by its concrete cock pulling himself up with his mouth open as a woman opens the window.
Who said great humour had to be big or clever.
Naked Gun also has its Police Squad predecessor. Here Frank Drebbin is subject to some confusion over the shooting of Mr Twice -

I've spent most of my life thinking of Airplane! and Airplane 2 as companion pieces and pretty much equally funny, but I did discover recently that the Zucker brothers had nothing to do with the latter and it's usually roundly derided. I need to re-watch both.
