Did they bring in Liam Neeson cause his name is close to Leslie Nielson? :wtf: Liam doesn't have a funny bone in his body.

I watched Naked Gun a couple of weeks ago and it STILL hold up comically. shyt's hilarious. A lot of jokes I didn't get when I was younger I understand now. It's even better.

Those movies will never go out of date. Timeless fukkery.

The Truth
I’m interested

Liam Nelson seems like a dude that has a low-key humor… like you wouldn’t expect him to be funny because he looks so serious and is always in serious roles.

If he’s funny, it will work

You are describing how Leslie Nielson was before Airplane. A real actor doing this works versus someone like Kevin Hart—tbf he has grown into a decent actor—or Chris Rock—terrible actor.

Damn, the people here talking about comedic chops completely missing the point of these movies.
Exactly

I don't think any of the "Airplane!" actors were considered to be comic actors at the time. They were cast *because* they were serious:
Peter Graves thought the script for what would eventually emerge as Airplane!: ”Don’t Call Me Shirley!” Edition was the most tasteless he’d ever read. Lloyd Bridges hopelessly searched for his character’s motivation. At least Robert Stack understood the madness behind Jim Abrahams and David and Jerry Zucker’s genre-pioneering spoof of 1970s airport films, explaining to Bridges, ”Lloyd, we are the joke.”
