The Splosh UK Forum

A great actor who appeared in many comedy/slapstick films such as Airplane and the Naked Gun series.

Will be sorely missed RIP

Pity you didn't say 'Surely, he will be missed' so somebody could say, 'Don't call me, Shirley.' but besides that I agree he was a brilliant deadpan actor who only got famous at the end of his career. Love the Airplane films to this day.

Nice beaver!

Damn forgot about the shirley bit.

Anyway some funny scenes in tribute

Awww, RIP, Leslie.

My fave, from 'Police Squad' as Frank Drebin. . . .

"Who are you and how did you get in here"?

"I'm a locksmith. . . and I'm a locksmith"

*snigger*

Favourite lines, please! Just two of mine...

"We must get her to a hospital."
"Why what is it?"
"It's a big white building with patients in but that's not important right now."

(As the plane is crashing)
"I need ideas. Any ideas."
(Camp airport worker) "How about a version of Hollywood Squares but with kids. Gary Coleman could host."

Think the latter (not the camp one) was Lloyd Bridges but no matter...

Two that always make me laugh:-

"It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day"

Goodyear?

"No, the worst."

And

" The truth hurts doesn't it, Hapsburg? Oh, sure maybe not as much as jumping on a bike with the seat missing, but it hurts!"

Muckypup has beat me to the beaver gag He was a genius of comic timing.

I like the quotes above and also some of these:

Commissioner Anabell Brumford: Ladies and gentlemen, I would now like to introduce a most special American. Tonight, he is being honoured for his 1000th drug-dealer killed.
Lt. Frank Drebin: [to applause] Thank you. But, in all honesty, the last three I backed over with my car. Luckily, they turned out to be drug-dealers.

Lt. Frank Drebin: Now, Jane, what can you tell us about the man you saw last night?
Jane Spencer: He's Caucasian.
Ed Hocken: Caucasian?
Jane Spencer: Yeah, you know, a white guy. A moustache. About six-foot-three.
Lt. Frank Drebin: Awfully big moustache.

Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes.

This all gives me an idea for a future Splosh! sketch!

Hi, a couple more favourite lines.

Drebin and Priscilla Presley's character are about to go their separate ways after a row.
Drebin: By the way, those orgasms - I faked them!

and

Drebin: I like my sex the same way I like my basketball - one on one, with as little dribbling as possible.
