[engine]

I was sorry to hear of the loss of a great comic actor, Leslie Nielsen.

Just saw this myself, he had a great band as well:-(

Airplane was much better that Naked Gun IMO. But, Naked Gun was funny.
The trailer for Airplane:

I will definitely miss him. It's interesting to see him in his other movies, before he became famous for being funny (and before his hair turned white). Forbidden Planet is a classic. And who remembers that he was in the original Hawaii Five-O pilot?

He comes from an interesting family. His brother was a big deal politician up here in Canada. He was even Deputy Prime Minister at one point.

The man was funny, he will be missed.

RIP

p.s. Airplane was his best movie, its no contest IMO

I've always been amazed whenever I watch a rerun of Naked Gun how good OJ was. Nothing great, but a lot better than you'd expect from the OJ we all remember during the trial and after.

The stuffed beaver was my favorite scene.
