Shirley you can't be serious ??
He was in Forbidden Planet too, one of my favorite films ever. RIP indeed.
And don't call me Shirley
Maybe he had the fish...
Very sad indeed, a total genius 😥
Can remember the first time i saw Airplane i cried with laughter.
I read this earlier aand started laughing when I got to this line. I hope I will be remembered for making people smile.
It was in this role that he became known for the line "Don't call me Shirley".
Thank you Leslie, RIP
The world will never be the same 🙁
Rodger Roger
😥
and he got to see a young Priscilla Presleys beaver 😯
A sad day.

Same for me when I first saw Naked Gun.
Comedy genius, RIP.

Priscilla Presley (born 1945) was 43 when she made the first Naked Gun film, hardly young, but she still had a nice beaver 😉
Loved his stuff, what a legend. RIP
Not so long ago I watched Airplane again. 10mins in I thought 'maybe its one of those best/good at the time but not anymore-types'....then the sheer volume of jokes washes over you and you CRACK.
I was laughing like a drain again 😆
I remember at school going horse with streaming tears watching Police Squad 😀
Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?
Captain Oveur: I can't tell.
Rumack: You can tell me. I'm a doctor.
Captain Oveur: No. I mean I'm just not sure.
Rumack: Well, can't you take a guess?
Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.
Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours
Can remember the first time i saw Airplane i cried with laughter.
Me too, and every time I've watched it since as well!
I love his comedy, utterly superb, he will be missed 🙁
Roger Murdock: Flight 2-0-9'er, you are cleared for take-off.
Captain Oveur: Roger!
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Tower voice: L.A. departure frequency, 123 point 9'er.
Captain Oveur: Roger!
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Victor Basta: Request vector, over.
Captain Oveur: What?
Tower voice: Flight 2-0-9'er cleared for vector 324.
Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.
Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?
Tower voice: Tower's radio clearance, over!
Captain Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur. Over.
Tower voice: Over.
Captain Oveur: Roger.
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Tower voice: Roger, over!
Roger Murdock: What?
Captain Oveur: Huh?
Victor Basta: Who?
A real goodie, wasn't he. Sad news indeed.
Rumack: You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
Elaine Dickinson: A hospital? What is it?
Rumack: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.
😀 😀
(God, I'm laughing just reading this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080339/quotes )
A sad day indeed, RIP Leslie, your brand of humour will be missed
Young Boy with Coffee: Excuse me, I happened to be passing, and I thought you might like some coffee.
Little Girl: Oh, that's very nice of you, thank you.
[takes coffee]
Little Girl: Oh, won't you sit down?
Young Boy with Coffee: Cream?
Little Girl: No, thank you, I take it black, like my men.
Terrible news. We were going to use the Naked Gun theme music as our intro music for our last gig but now our drummer's broken his ankle we might not have one.
Without a doubt my favourite films. He sure knows how to make a grown man cry.
"Ever seen a grown man naked?"
Genius.
[edit]That wasn't his line... Whatever... Genius.[/edit]
🙁
His memory will live on in his films though!
Sad day for comedy for sure.
Really sad. But it did make me run along to play.com and order up a boxxed set of naked gun, aeroplane and police squad this morning. Also includes something called Top Secret which I've never seen.
Top secret is brilliant!!! You're in for a treat
Sad day, very sad day.
Sad news, but i'm sorry to say, but I didn't find him that funny.
All a bit too contrived for me i'm afraid.
He had a moustache, about 6ft 3.
That's an awful big moustache.
Legend. Boxset coming my way too.
I bought the box set about a month ago and cried with laughter all the way through.
A true comedy genius!!!
Will Channel 4 run a tribute season? I hope so.
Top Secret...excellent film. The bit with the tunnel & the guy with the spoon.
And the giant telephone.
And the pantomine horse that gets mounted by a real horse.
Classic.
RIP.
