It is and dont call me Shirley! RIP..... Title: Re: leslie Neilson dead!? Cannot be right Surely? Post by: jonny72 on Monday, November 29, 2010, 12:47:49 Originally I didn't know he started out as a serious actor. Saw him in Airplane, Naked Gun and all that stuff. Then I saw him in a film before he started doing comedy. Kept waiting for the laughs and they never came. Very disappointed.
No matter how many times you watch Airplane it is still funny, same with the Naked Gun films. Classics. Title: Re: leslie Neilson dead!? Cannot be right Surely? Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Monday, November 29, 2010, 12:51:17 He always made me laugh - agree with you about Airplane, jonny. RIP

Anyway a fine comedy actor is no more. But at least he had a reasonable life. RIP. Title: Re: leslie Neilson dead!? Cannot be right Surely? Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, November 29, 2010, 13:13:59 "Looks like the cows have come home to roost".

Priscilla Presley: "....It was a white guy, mustache, about six foot three..." Nielson: "That's a pretty big mustache” Title: Re: leslie Neilson dead!? Cannot be right Surely? Post by: herthab on Monday, November 29, 2010, 19:20:56 When I watched Airplane the first time I thought I recognised him, but couldn't remember where. It was only after BBC2 did a season of classic Sci Fi films that I finally got to the root of it: he was the captain of the spaceship in Forbidden Planet!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRva7z8pvwc&feature=related It's weird to see him playing the Captain in the Poseidon Adventure as a serious role in one of the very films that the Airplane films sought to rip the piss out of.

Post by: Rich Pullen on Monday, November 29, 2010, 20:25:35 It's weird to see him playing the Captain in the Poseidon Adventure as a serious role Yet as the wave crashes into him and his crew... I still laugh. Quote 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. So long Leslie Neilsen |
