Default Leslie Neilsen dies at 84!

On November 29th, Leslie Neilsen died at 84! Man, what a blow to the comedic community! This guy was not only hilarious but completely nuts to do all the roles he did! He lived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

I have A LOT of his movies including a rare movie called Project Kill where he is a well trained killer and decides to defect from the military. Of course they send someone to his equal to find him and kill him. The ending IS NOT as you would think either!!! GREAT MOVIE!

Loved this guy in Airplane, Airplane II, Naked Gun, Naked Gun 2, Naked Gun 3 and Dracula: Dead and Loving it. He's done a TON more movies than that but this guy will be missed!

RIP Leslie.

Just a little "tribute" to a VERY VERY FUNNY man!!!

I think he did a better job of it than Steve Martin!

I'll always remember him first from Forbidden Planet. Watching him play a leading man, a heavy, or doing comedy is like watching 3 different people.

I got out my Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea disks to watch the one he was in, playing an obsessed military scientist that almost destroys the sub by going after a giant manta ray.

he was also in Wrongfully Accused where he is suspected of murder and is on the search for a one eyed, one legged, one armed man! Hilarious!
