Leslie Nielsen, the star of Airplane! and The Naked Gun, has passed away at the age of 84. What better way to honour the king of deadpan than with a collection of his best lines?
(Excerpt) Read more at guardian.co.uk ...
Police Squad! In Color! Revenge & Remorse ( A Guilty Alibi ).
Not to belittle Bob Hope but I think Leslie Nielsen delivered his lines brilliantly .....
LOLOLOLOL!
Police Squad was a funny show but it had a crappy time slot plus the visual jokes (”here comes the tow truck”—truck
shaped like a toe) may not have worked if people were reading the paper while watching or something. There were various celebrity guest stars who “died” at the start and I think one
was John Belushi. Did not air because he died for real (I think they only aired a few episodes anyway)
It was on Sat nights when a lot of people were out...

>>Each episode would similarly play credits over a 1970s style freeze frame of the final scene, except that the frame was not frozen – the actors simply stood motionless in position while other activities (pouring coffee, convicts escaping, chimpanzees running amok) continued around them.
>>A sequence was filmed with John Belushi (chained to concrete blocks underwater) but the actor died shortly before the episode was due to air, and the producers decided not to use the scene. According to the Internet Movie Database the producers wanted to include the Belushi scene when Police Squad was rebroadcast in the 1990s, but the footage could not be located and is presumed lost
I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley.
“That’s right, I had the lasagna.” Leslie Nielsen RIP

Don’t forget the photo of Chamberlain returning with “Peace in our time”.

The “special guest star” ALWAYS died in the opening scene. IIRC, the one with Shatner was really great because he avoided getting shot and what have you in an action scene, then died from poisoning.
They also always read a different title than the one displayed on the screen.
Det. Nordberg (OJ Simpson): Drugs... drugs...
Frank (Nielsen): Nurse! Get this man some drugs! Can’t you see he’s in pain?
[nurse administers drugs]
Det. Nordberg: No... no...
[pulls Frank towards him]
Det. Nordberg: Heroin, Frank! Heroin...
Frank: Uh... that’s a pretty tall order, Nordberg. You’ll have to give me a couple of days on that one.
Not Nielson’s quotes but a great comedic movie moment nonetheless:
Roger Murdock: But just remember, my name is...
[showing his nametag]
Roger Murdock: ROGER MURDOCK. I’m an airline pilot.
Joey: I think you’re the greatest, but my dad says you don’t work hard enough on defense.
Joey: And he says that lots of times, you don’t even run down court. And that you don’t really try... except during the playoffs.
Roger Murdock: The hell I don’t! LISTEN KID! I’ve been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I’m out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!!!

No movie, TV.
Get Smart: "Missed it by that much"
Thanks, I just had it stuffed...
Personally, I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers.
Frank Drebin: "All right, let's say you were at the movies last night."
Drebin, Hocken and the suspect all turn towards the camera and, in unison, say: "You were at the movies last night."
Drebin: "and let's say you had nothing to do with the murder."
Again, all three turn towards the camera and say: "You had nothing to do with the murder."
