naked gun vs airplane

[isitme]

it's weird how so many people get those parody films wrong. all you have to do is make loads and loads of stupid gags, but they always seem to get it wrong

Dr. Mainheimer: [the entire audience is asleep] Now, to elaborate on point 102...
Ed Hocken: [hands him a book called "Strokin' The Love Muffin"] Here! Read this, it's an emergency.
Dr. Mainheimer: [starts reading] "His strong manly hands probed every crevice of her silken femininity, their undulating bodies writhing in sensual rhythm, as he thrust his purple-headed warrior into her quivering mound of love pudding."
[audience slowly wakes up]

Quentin Hapsburg: Any final requests, Lieutenant?
Lt. Frank Drebin: Er, yes... Can I have the gun?
Quentin Hapsburg: Ohh no! I'm not going to fall for that one!

 

[isitme]

'you'll never get away with this hapsburg.....whatever it is

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Quentin Hapsburg: I don't recall your name on the guest list.
Lt. Frank Drebin: That's OK. I sometimes go by my maiden name.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

'you'll never get away with this hapsburg.....whatever it is

Yes, that's one of my favourites

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Lt. Frank Drebin: You know, sometimes I envy you and Edna. You have the same person every day for over 30 years. You wake up, eat with her, sleep with her. Make love to the same woman.
[Ed looks increasingly disgusted as Frank goes on]
Lt. Frank Drebin: You spend every possible waking moment together, while I'm out running around with a bunch of 20-year-olds who only want a good time and cheap sex sex sex. Girls who can't say no. Girls who can't get enough. "More, more, more. It's your turn now to wear the handcuffs... ”
[Ed starts foaming at the mouth... literally]
Lt. Frank Drebin: I just want love, Ed.
Ed Hocken: I'm sure you'll... find love, Frank.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Lt. Frank Drebin: I'm single! I love being single! I haven't had this much sex since I was a Boy Scout leader!
[Music stops playing. Everyone stops talking and stares at him]
Lt. Frank Drebin: [to everybody] I mean at the time I was dating a lot.

'crash positions'

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Lt. Frank Drebin: Oh, it's all right. I'm sure that we can handle this situation maturely, just like the responsible adults that we are. Isn't that right, Mr... Poopy Pants?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Lt. Frank Drebin: Hector Savage. From Detroit. Ex-boxer. His real name was Joey Chicago.
Ed Hocken: Oh, yeah. He fought under the name of Kid Minneapolis.
Nordberg: I saw Kid Minneapolis fight once. In Cincinnati.
Lt. Frank Drebin: No you're thinking of Kid New York. He fought out of Philly.
Ed Hocken: He was killed in the ring in Houston. By Tex Colorado. You know, the Arizona Assassin.
Nordberg: Yeah, from Dakota. I don't remember it was North or South.
Lt. Frank Drebin: North. South Dakota was his brother. From West Virginia.
Ed Hocken: You sure know your boxing.
Lt. Frank Drebin: All I know is never bet on the white guy.
[Nordberg nods in agreement]

I think it's well cool how he started out in 'serious' films and they were all total flops, and then he really found his niche with those, still playing it totally straight while delivering really silly lines.

the funniest is when you see him in those old swords and sandals films and even tho they are deadly serious he's still doing that thing with the eyes

I've not actually seen any of them tbh...

 

[kained&able]

i say naked gun airplane and its copy cats/homages have blurred so much into one in my head i have no idea which bits are actually in the film anymore.

Must watch it again sometime.

Airplane: Too many scences to try to remember. Cried tears the first five or so times I saw it

 

[camouflage]

crap poll, both crap.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

You have no sense of humour.

 

[DJ Squelch]

"you forgot your trick doggy poo"

[Shippou-Sensei]

Forbidden Planet? The Poseidon Adventure?

 

[DJ Squelch]

"whats the hurry"

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

"whats the hurry"

A much overlooked film too IMO

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Chocolat Mousse

 

[BassJunkie]

"What's his condition? Hmm Ok, let me know if there's any change in his condition"

"How is he?"

"He's dead"

 

[danny la rouge]

Shirley you've heard of Airplane?

Buddy says he might have. Andy gets confused.

 

[Badgers]

Old thread bump

Was surprised that most of my office have never seen Airplane.
I thought it was one of those films everyone had seen?

The DVD is being given away free in this Saturdays Guardian so might pick it up

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Airplane!

Striker: "Surely you can't be serious?"
Rumack: "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley."

This swings it to "Airplane" for me though it's a tough choice.

I didn't even notice it was a bump just got hugely excited at the thought of "Airplane"

 

[Crispy]

Can't believe Airplane! is winning this one!
