WATCH the video podcast here: https://youtu.be/dthXWqWcCXM In episode #29 of LINZanity, Greg and David discuss the Naked Gun movies, the Scary Movies, Kentucky Fried Movie, all of the actors associated with them and the behind the scenes on how all these got made... Did you know Leslie Nielsen entered Airplane! 38 minutes into the movie?... Two years after Airplane!, they cast Leslie Nielsen as the lead in their tv show, Police Squad (precursor to Naked Gun)... Police Squad didn't work because audiences had to actually watch it while watching it... Hilarious site gags from the tv show wound up in the movie, Naked Gun... David directed Naked Gun without Jerry or Jim... They had cast OJ Simpson in 3 projects before he, well, you know... David wouldn't know what to say to OJ if he ran into him again... Greg talks about how the trailer for Naked Gun made him lose his breath from laughter... They stopped doing puns after Naked Gun... What "Can you live with it" means... Zucker's connection to Elvis Presley... They learned their movie "Top Secret!" was too funny, which was actually bad... Priscilla Presley was actually a great actress who didn't need coaching... What "Let the lines do the work" means... Leslie Nielsen actually had great "dramatic" timing... Leslie Nielsen would sit on a fart cushion when Robert Hays was doing a scene... The baseball scene in Naked Gun was the toughest scene to shoot... David's deadpan humor was misinterpreted by Hollywood story board artist legend, J. Todd Anderson resulting in J.Todd leaving David's party... David discusses his book "Surely You Can't Be Serious: The True Story of Airplane!" more... David directed Scary Movie 3 & 4... ZAZ (David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, Jerry Zucker) created a sub genre of comedy, commonly called Spoof Comedy... How they were able to cast big actors in their first movie Kentucky Fried Movie... How much John Landis had helped them with their first movie... Greg shares a story about the Airplane! casting director, Joel Thurm... And, of course, Greg straightens out everything for J. Todd Anderson by getting David to apologize... And much more!
