Favorite Zucker/Abrahams Movie?

Recommended Posts

Kentucy Fried Movie

Airplane!

Top Secret!

Ruthless People

Naked Gun

 

I would say Airplane! just slightly edges out KFM. KFM is absolutely hilarious, but some of the references are dated. Airplane! holds up perfectly and has just some unbelievably funny sight gags. Top Secret! is underrated, but not in the the same league as the other two. Naked Gun is incredibly funny, but some parts in the middle are a little slow. Never really cared for Ruthless People, but then again Zuckers/Abrahams didn't write it, only directed. Anyone?

Definitly Airplane! is the best, i can watch it today or in ten years and it wouldn't be dated, and still be funny.

Am I the only one who finds Airplane doesn't hold up as well with time? That one guy Stephen Stucker just kills every scene he is in. I'd say both Top Secret and Naked Gun are easily funnier. While I'd say Naked Gun is probably my favorite, Top Secret is one of the most underrated comedies of the 80s.

I always have a soft spot for the Naked Gun Trilogy. Out of the bunch, loved the first movie.

 

Haven't watched Airplane for the longest time...but I remembered being vastly entertained by the movie.

KFM- I had no idea what it was when I saw it and was pleasantly surprised. Missed the final 15 mins though.

and where's Ghost? :)

I was trying to limit the choices to movies where all 3 were involved, so Ghost is out the window, along with Scary Movie 3. I'm not sure about High School High or the Hot Shot series, but I believe not all 3 were involved in those. The last movie they did together was the first Naked Gun in 1988. (David Zucker directed and Jerry Zucker and Abrahams co-wrote it with him)
