Believe it or not, there once was a time when Leslie Nielsen's resumé wasn't pockmarked with terrible, low-budget parody movies. No, the silver-haired comedy legend reached the pinnacle of his career by starring in, well ... fantastic, low-budget parody movies. Those who can recite "Airplane!" verbatim, or can fondly recall the misadventures of Detective Frank Drebin will probably recognize the above Grand Theft Auto IV machinima as the intro sequence for "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad" (those who don't recognize it can watch the real deal after the break and pretend that they do).
It's an impressive, near shot-for-shot remake of the classic opening credits sequence -- sans the shower room scene, of course. That kind of vulgarity would never be allowed in a Rockstar title.

Or has the name "Gold" in it. You know, like Ron Goldman?

That's awesome. Now all you need is to somehow get a cop car on a boat and have someone in the car while someone else in multiplayer drives the boat. Would cause the same sorta effect.

No no. But the cop car on a boat... then have someone drive the boat... not put the boat on land.

The original tv series "Police Squad", which is what the movies are based on, are better than the movies, imo.

I'm disappointed they couldn't find a shower in the whole GTAIV universe to drive through. That's the only thing missing from this sweet vid...a cornucopia of young wet tits.

jesus h christ that was amazing...the sad thing is i bet there are so many people out there that have never seen any of the naked gun movies, especially some of the teeny boppers and kids that had their parents or older siblings/friends by them a copy.

Or what about the one scene where he and the witness on the boat place trade off the $20's they just gave eachother? GREAT scene!

yeah jesus...that was such a good one. might actually knock out naked gun 2 today, dont have much to do anyways...plus the usc marching band is a great cameo. or when they're showing all the bloopers from the game, and after the 2nd baseman gets attacked by the tiger, and the outfielder goes up and gets his head taken off by the ball and the announcer just says "now how bout that!"

No, having the month first makes a TON more sense. You already know the time of year when the month is said first...

Why do American's go M/D/Y? Because of the Declaration of Independence says, JULY 4, 1776. D/M/Y makes much more sense, going from shorter measurement of time to longer. But we had to be different from the English, so there you go...

Yay! I reference to my my favourite actor, Leslie Neilson :D
Agreed that 2001: A Space Travesty and Scary Movie 3 were terrible, moreso the former than the latter though.
