I'm going to have to dust off my Naked GUn and Airplane VHS and Watch that again.

You Will be Missed Leslie Nielsen

Yes Moonchild22. So sad. :(

Wow, sorry to hear about this. I remember him in the Poseidon Adventure. He played the captain of the ship. - Yes the original with Gene Hackman and Ernest Borgnine.

Now, that's two main actors from 1980's Airplane that have passed away this year. Peter Graves was the first back in March 2010.
 
Legend is not a strong enough word to describe Leslie Nielsen. Thank you for many years of laughter. R.I.P:bowdown:

He got laughs from everyone.
 
I loved his movies. Some of them were the best comedies ever. It's sad to see him go. I would have loved to see one last "Naked Gun" movie.

Thanks Leslie
&
Rest in Peace!​
 
Terrible to hear, a true legend in the business, and personally one of my all time favorites. I can't even count how many times I saw the Naked Gun movies and laughed until I was crying. Airplane was a favorite movie of my fathers, and I've grown more and more fond of all of his work in recent years. A truly sad day, a genius has been lost.
 
The world is a little less funny today :(

I guess God needed his court jester back, may he rest in peace, just don't call him Shirley.
 
Truly a talented and very funny man. :( Airplane was one of my father's favorite movies (and eventually mine as well). I think that was the first time I was exposed to Mr. Nielsen.

He'll be missed for sure.

As it is mine, courtesy of my own father as well. One of his favourite jokes in fact was when Leslie pops his head into the cock pit and says "I just wanna let you know, were all counting on you!" - Hes an aircraft electrician and in true comic genious, while working on a airliner, popped his head into the cockpit door and uttered those same words to two of his seated co workers.

Only one actually got it, but I thought that was a perfect comedy moment!

R.I.P Leslie!
