HOT SHOTS & HOT SHOTS: PART DEUX

feel free to make this a poll.  (if you hate all of these, you suck).
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

I like the first Airplane. Caught it on TV the other day and it was hiLARious.

If memory serves, the Zuckers weren't involved directly in Airplane II...??
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

Top Secret! is better than all of these listed.

I saw Jerry Zucker speak a few weeks ago.  He did one of the commencement addresses at UW-Madison and I was there to hear it.  It was very good.

The Zucker/Zucker/Abraham combination originated here in Madison.

I like Airplane

The Naked Gun series, mainly for introducing me to the name 'Nordberg'.

Wasn't Nordberg originally in Police Squad?  The tall guy whose face we never see.


Too bad OJ killed those 2 people.  His film career could have been wonderful  :lol:

At wave level, everything exists as a contradiction. Everything is existing in more than one stage/place at any given moment. Everything must move/vibrate and constantly change to exist. Everything, including buildings, mountains, oceans and thoughts.
