The Airplane thread got me thinking. I think I prefer The Naked Gun slightly. Upvote for Airplane, Downvote for The Naked Gun.

They 2 of the best in slapstick. It's hard to pick. I give Naked Gun the edge for how amazing the baseball game sequence is...and knowing the backstory on how it was all filmed makes it even better.

I don’t really care for Airplane. Never seen The Naked Gun.

Airplane! is at worst like the #3 funniest movie of all time. Naked Gun might be Top 20.

I like both. But I'd take The Jerk over either of them.

Leslie Neilson is one of the greats

The jive talk scenes and the tits in a PG movie push Airplane to the #1 slot, although I do like The Naked Gun too.

I enjoyed the naked gun franchise a lot as a kid as well as Loaded Weapon. Though as an adult I watch Airplane maybe twice a year.
It's a great slapstick.

Of the Naked Gun I always liked 2 1/2. The third movie was one of the first movies we saw without parents. 33 1/3.
I just don't think they are as rewatchable as Airplane.

Airplane may be better front to back, but that baseball scene in Naked Gun may be funniest 15 minutes in television - and it keeps getting better, with Nordberg (OJ Simpson) actually being worth throwing down a flight of stairs in a wheel chair and Christina Aguilera going full-on Enrico Palazzo during the national anthem a few years back.

I'll pretend you didn't say that.

If nothing else 33 1/3 gave us Raquel Welch in the hottest dress of all time.


So it's got that going for it

Naked Gun is fun but it's not remotely edgy like Airplane.

The humour in Airplane is on a different level.
