I have never actually seen any of the naked gun series but now reading some of the quotes from the movie I cant wait to rent them. Leslie Nielson is awesome, I loved a lot of his deliveries in Men With Brooms.

Ed [to Nordburgs wife in the hospital]: What I'm trying to say is that Wilma, as soon as Nordburg is better, he's welcome back at Police Squad.

Frank: Unless he's a drooling vegetable.....But I think that's only common sense.

That's impossible!

Commissioner: Do you realize that because of you this city is being overrun by baboons?
Frank: Well, isn't that the fault of the voters?

Frank: When I see 5 wierd guys in togas stabbing an innocent man in front of 600 people I shoot the bastards, that's my policy.

Comissioner: That was an In The Park production of Julius Ceasar!

That's great. When you do watch them, post back here, I'd love to read what you thought of them...

Pay attention to the backgrounds. A lot of jokes are there... I see new gags everytime I rewatch them.

- I would like now to introduce a most distinguished gentleman. This week he is being honored for his one 1000th drug dealer killed. Ladies and gentleman please welcome Lt. Frank Drebin of Police Squad.

- In all honesty the last two I backed over with my car. Luckily they turned out to be drug dealers.

Good stuff. I'll have to go find these and watch them again. Thanks for the reminder!

Frank: Jane, since I've met you I've noticed things that I never knew were there before; birds singing, dew glistening on a newly formed leaf, stoplights.

Frank: Hey! The missing evidence in the Kelner case! My God, he really was innocent!
Ed: He went to the chair two years ago, Frank.
Frank: Well, uh...

Ed: Doctors say that Nordberg has a 50 - 50 chance of living, though there's only a 10 percent chance of that.

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 can't hear you! Don't fire the gun while you're talking!

The funniest part is that if you follow the flow of money, Frank comes out $20 ahead (plus the guy now owes him $20).

another little thing like that is during the baseball game, one of the players hits a homerun. if you look behind the pitcher, four runners touch second base.

I can't watch these movies anymore thanks to OJ.
I think OJ is guilty of murdering two people and it makes me furious whenever I see him.

That should make the movies even more satisfying then, since he's getting the shit kicked out of him in all three.

The National Anthem scene floors me every time.

I like the part in SMELL OF FEAR (Naked Gun 2.5) when the guy reads out the names of the coal and petrol companies and they spell out SPILL, SMOKE and KABOOM.

yeah everytime I hear the national anthem I always think "lots of bombs in the air" for a split second or so.

I think my favorite part is when Nordberg is trying to put a bug under that van in part 2.5 I think and he ends up getting stuck under that bus. When the destination sign (which he could never possibly see) changes to Detroit and he yells "noooooooooooooo!"

"whats nordberg doing in detroit? well send him plane fare and a new pair of pants"

What was funny about the National Anthem bit for me was, being from the UK I'm not entirely sure of the words to it

I liked on the directors commentary for the first movie, the scene where Nordberg was sneaking around the dock.

"So is this actual footage of OJ, or was this filmed for the movie?"


And the national anthem:

"For the home of the land, and the land of theeee.....FREEE!" <runs off>

It makes me laugh loudly everytime...and I never knew all the lyrics either. But I know he fumbles them bigtime and it's a hoot.


Oh and am I the only one having a tough time finding part 2 in stores for $5? I see aton of copies for part 3..and sometimes part 1 in the $5 bins at Wal-Mart.

Best Buy meanwhile has many single copies of 1 & 2. But the only way to get part 2 is in the box set. Which despite the lowered price,they still have marked at $30!

I'll have better luck finding all three online for the discounted price than in stores it seems.

Jane: Sam, play our song - just one more time.
Sam: Ding Dong! The Witch is dead! Which old witch? The Wicked Witch...



Frank: I'm single! I love being single! I havent had this much sex since I was a boy scout leader!


Prostitute: Is this some sort of bust?
Frank: Its' very impressive yes, but we need to ask a few questions first.

Doctor: Mrs. Nordberg, I think we can save his arm. Where would you like it sent?

Frank: A good cop - needlessly cut down by some cowardly hoodlums.
Ed: No way for a man to die.
Frank: No... you're right, Ed. A parachute not opening... that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine... having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go.

Frank: And you, all coming here for the hot story, probably think I'm a big hero, well, do any of you know how much a man can hurt inside?

Ed: Frank, they're not here for you, Weird Al Yankovic is on the plane.

(Weird Al waves to the crowd)

Frank: Everywhere I look, something reminds me of her

LOL I loved that part.

Weird Al was in all 3 movies. My favorite cameo of his was in 2 1/2 when he's about to shoot all the cops until Frank unknowingly slams him with the door.


And one of my favorite quotes from the series:

Frank: "It's ancient history, like the Democratic Party."'

Of course, a year and a half later Bill Clinton was in the White House, but it was still a funny line.
