strummer Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 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?
Black Lushus Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 i wasn't a huge fan of the Naked Gun series but Police Squad! kicked serious ass...
converge241 Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 Top Secret baby!! "Chocolate Mouse...Souffle...Escargot...Deja Vu'" "Have we met before?" Skeet Surfing forever!!!
eiker_ir Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 Definitly Airplane! is the best, i can watch it today or in ten years and it wouldn't be dated, and still be funny. "- Ted: Surely you can't be serious! - Dr: I am serious. And don't call me Shirley" the Naked Gun movies in second because i watched them so damn much when i was little.
cabbageboy Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 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.
notJames Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 Top Secret... if only for that smidge of a wrestling scene they had with Chocolate Mousse. "Vive le France!"
Jobber of the Week Posted July 4, 2004 Report Posted July 4, 2004 Zucker also directed Scary Movie 3. If you're going to throw Ruthless People in there, might as well toss that one in as well.
BrokenTiger Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 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.
nogoodnick Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 KFM- I had no idea what it was when I saw it and was pleasantly surprised. Missed the final 15 mins though.
strummer Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Posted July 8, 2004 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)
Si82 Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 I have to go with Airplane. I laughed so hard the first time I saw that film that I cried. Brilliant.
Guest KingofHarts Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 Airplane! was one of he funniest movies of all time (right next to some like it hot.) I mean come on even the puns were funny. and I normally hate puns
