    Most sad indeed. One of my favourite movie quotes from Nielsen:

    "Can you fly this plane, and land it?"
    "Surely you can't be serious."
    "I am serious... and don't call me Shirley."

    He made me laugh alot, considering I picked up Police Squad on DVD recently, and Wrongfully Accused, and Naked gun 1,2,3. And all the others I want, like Dracula: Dead and Loving It. He had a knack of making people laugh, and he certainly made parodies before they became popular.

    "Renfield, I Fly - You Don't!"
    He will be missed.

    A sad day indeed

    This is one of my personal favourite quotes
    Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen): It's true what they say: Cops and women don't mix. It's like eating a spoonful of Drano; sure, it'll clean you out, but it'll leave you hollow inside.

    Damn, I log into Ozformers and this is what I find . Any movie he was in you knew was going to have at least a couple of laughs in it. Even Surf Ninjas. My favourite quote of his is from Scary Movie 3 were his plays the president "Sir! step away from the window! What? Did I forget to put my pants on again?" Makes me laugh everytime.

    I will miss him. I thought he really helped 'Super-hero movie' move from watchable, to kinda funny. Which is saying a lot!

    Great guy, so many laughs and such a long career!

    I too love that "Shirley" line as well. I often bust it out at parties to show how classic old movies can be.

    Still makes me laugh just thinking about it!

    I will miss the man.

    I love and have the Naked Gun trilogy and Spy Hard.
    Still need to find Dracula: Dead and Lovin' It for my Mel Brooks collection which I will combine with my Leslie Neilsen collection as a tribute.
    I even loved his role as the paranoid President in Scary Movie 3...

    He will be missed (see I said it twice).

    I was at a bartercard trade show in Dapto last night and saw Dracula: Dead and Loving for 5 trade dollars. Easy decision was made
