Leslie Neilsen,an actor known for his deadpan
comic delivery in iconic films of Comedy Genre have always had us rolling down
laughing. Starting his acting career at a young age in 1948, Leslie has come a
long way as a veteran actor starring in more than 100 films and 150 television
programs. His notable performance in The Poseidon Adventure as a serious actor
although has received massive accolades, but his comical characters are one
that will remain classic until the end of era. Here are the best of Leslie’s
movies as a comical character.
The best of three movies of Leslie Nielsen!!
1. Airplane!
Airplane! pulls out all the clichés of cinema
as alcoholic pilot Ted Striker (Robert Hays), develops a fear of flying due to
wartime trauma and ends up boarding a jumbo jet in an attempt to woo back his
stewardess girlfriend (Julie Hagerty).
Directed By David Zucker, Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams, Airplane! Talks
about how to deal with a plane landing in the presence of a sick pilot!
Nielsen’s Role - The turning point in
Neilsen's career came when he was casted as the poker-faced Dr. Shirley Rumack
in the immensely popular spoof Airplane! (1980). This type of role defined his
career from then on, and he is remembered fondly as a comic actor. From the
clever Jaws take-off opening to the final irreverent title card, Nielson makes
us laugh thick and fast.
2. The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear
The second in a series of three police
detective parody films, The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear features the
return of Leslie Nielsen to the role of intrepid Los Angeles Police Squad
Lieutenant Frank Drebin. This time he's out to foil the "big boys" in
the energy business with his tricky yet funny comic timings.
Nielsen’s Role : Leslie Nielsen bumbles his
way through another quickfire case of the spoofs as LAPD's most clueless cop
Frank Drebin. He combines earnestness, exuberant mugging, and a trouper's
slightly desperate cheerfulness to influence the energy police of the US
government. Nielsen turns this rather alarming character into a sweet,
ebullient lunatic -- albeit one who's hell on innocent bystanders.
3. Spy Hard
This brainless detective flick "Spy
Hard" is yet another spoof with Leslie Nielsen carrying the lead role in the same style as the "Naked
Gun". Dick Steele, Agent WD-40 (Leslie Nielsen) is assigned by his
director (Charles Durning), to stop the evil General Rancor (Andy Griffith)
from destroying the world. WD-40 believed Rancor was dead and he teams up with
the hot KGB agent Veronique Ukrinsky (Nicollette Sheridan) to find Rancor and
save the world.
Nielsen’s Role : Leslie Nielsen stars as Dick
Steele, agent WD-40, in this uneven send-up of spy thrillers and other popular
genres done in the hilarious style of the Zucker/Abrams "Naked Gun"
series. Leslie Nielsen does a funny James Bond spoof, pulling it better than
James Bond! From sneaking into someone's
apartment to ending up thrashing the entire place, Nielsen has kept us
completely entertained.
Catch the ‘Spoof’ Spy Hard today at 5 on Star
Movies to get your funny bones tickled by Nielsen again!
