The curse of Naked Gun 33 1/3!!!

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

All the evidence hints that Naked Gun 33 1/3 is one of those "jinxed" movies! Out of its main crew...

* O.J. Simpson was accused of double homicide...
* Anna Nicole Smith died in mysterious circumstances...
* Priscilla Presley's daughter married Michael Jackson...
* Leslie Nielsen is old.

Was the film shot on a sacred Indian burial ground? Who will be the next victim of the curse?!

the people wot watched it!

And at least one ilxor was there, on the set... This was the first movie I ever worked on, as a P.A.!

Richard Griffiths needs to watch himself very carefully.

Everyone involved in that movie will one day die. COINCIDENCE? I think not.

Leslie Nielson's film career is certainly dead.

I love LN

Veteran character actress Kathleen Freeman from 33 1/3 also DEAD at the age of 82!

LN became unwatchable (right after the Police Squad! series) when he decided to "act funny" instead of reading absurd lines in the same neutral monotone that was the hallmark of his dramatic career.

Anna Nicole wasn't as awful as I had expected

― JW, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 17:27 (eighteen years ago)

I still think Leslie Neilsen is funny. I cracked up at a bunch of his lines in "Scary Movie 3"!!

― Ben Boyerrr, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 17:42 (eighteen years ago)

I want evidence for the curse behind Neilsen's "Mr. Magoo," besides its soporific curse of making me fall asleep in a theatre for the first time.

Does anyone remember the very endearing kid's cartoon "Katie and Orbie" as voiced over by Neilsen?

I love the Naked Gun movies. The door in Barbara Bush's face, the mistaken-identity w/ Donahue, all of it. Genius.

ie, TV destroys cinema

― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 18:43 (eighteen years ago)

Morbs OTM

― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 18:48 (eighteen years ago)

(especially about Nielsen's declining comic value)

― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 18:49 (eighteen years ago)

Does he still make movies? Dude's 80 now.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 8 March 2007 08:00 (eighteen years ago)

Apparently he does. Don't movie actors ever retire?

― Tuomas, Thursday, 8 March 2007 08:31 (eighteen years ago)

four years pass...

Was the film shot on a sacred Indian burial ground? Who will be the next victim of the curse?!

Since I started this thread both Ricardo Montalban and Leslie Nielsen have died too... :( Here's hoping Weird "Al" Yankovic won't be struck by the curse.

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 19:52 (fourteen years ago)

Erm, he kind of was.

His parents.

― henri grenouille (Frogman Henry), Tuesday, 8 November 2011 19:54 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah, that was pretty awful.

I hope Pia Zadora is alright.

― dor Dumbeddownball (Eric H.), Tuesday, 8 November 2011 20:11 (fourteen years ago)

David Zucker turned into an insufferable conservative boor. He didn't direct this one, but does that count?

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 20:25 (fourteen years ago)

Last I heard about Pia Zadora: She got rid of the film career that her ex talked her into doing, went back into music (her first love), and became a SAHM after a few years.

What's "SAHM"?

― Tuomas, Wednesday, 9 November 2011 07:34 (fourteen years ago)

On the right:

(It actually means "Stay At Home Mom").
