Leslie Nielsen, the star of the movie Airplane! and the TV series Police Squad! has died from complications of pneumonia at a hospital in Florida. Originally from Regina, Saskatchewan, Nielsen appeared in over 200 movies and TV shows in a career spanning six decades.

 

    After Airplane! became a hit, the film’s directors — Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker — wanted to take the film’s slapstyle style of comedy to TV. They asked Nielsen to play the lead role in their new series “Police Squad!”

 

    In the show, Nielsen played Frank Drebin, a stereotypical police officer modeled after characters in earlier police TV series. The show lasted only six episodes but earned Nielsen an Emmy nom for lead actor in a comedy series.

 

    Six years later, Nielsen reprised his role for a feature-length version of the show, Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad, as well as two sequels.

 

    Other credits include 1956’s Forbidden Planet, the 1960s TV series Peyton Place, Dr. Kildare and The Bold Ones: The Protectors.

GR:

Τον ξέρουμε σήμερα ως αποκλειστικά κωμικό ηθοποιό, σύμβολο του παλαβού χιούμορ της σχολής ΖΑΖ. Και λογικό, γιατί το Airplane! είναι ίσως ο πιο εμβληματικός του ρόλος. Λιγότερο γνωστό είναι το γεγονός ότι μέχρι το 1980 ήταν μια φοβερά γνωστή φάτσα της αμερικάνικης TV, καρατερίστας από τους πιο σημαντικούς, έχοντας στο ενεργητικό του δεκάδες εμφανίσεις σε ό,τι σειρά μπορείς να βάλεις στο νου σου. Και παίζοντας κυρίως σοβαρούς ρόλους, συνήθως μάλιστα κακούς. (Φαντάσου αν σήμερα γυριζόταν για πρώτη φορά μια κωμωδία με το φαρσικό χιούμορ του Airplane, και πρωταγωνιστής ήταν ο Zeljko Ivanek, για παράδειγμα.) Το ότι σε ηλικία 54 χρονών οι ΖΑΖ του έδωσαν ουσιαστικά τον πρώτο του πρωταγωνιστικό (κόντρα) ρόλο ήταν μια κίνηση ιδιοφυής, τόσο αναπάντεχη και αποτελεσματική που καθιέρωσε τον Nielsen ως αποκλειστικά wacky comedy πρωταγωνιστή.

H επιτυχία του Airplane δίχως αμφιβολία οδήγησε στο Police Squad!, ίσως την πρώτη σημαντική brilliant-but-cancelled σειρά στα χρονικά. Όλοι ξέρουμε τις ταινίες στις οποίες οδήγησε (τα, διαφόρων βαθμίδων επιτυχημένου χιούμορ, Naked Gun), όμως αυτή η σειρά που άντεξε για 6 μόλις επεισόδια είναι μάλλον το αστειότερο πράγμα που δεν έχεις δει ποτέ σου.Συνοδεία των απίθανων τίτλων τέλους που είχαν τα επεισόδια του Police Squad! (πόσο μπροστά!), αποχαιρετούμε τον Leslie Nielsen, που αργά χθες το βράδυ πέθανε στα 84 του χρόνια.

    • I didn't even want to touch on your name Celestine, but it took a while to want to protect it, right? But then I say, everyone knows that you and your group helped Vraekar in deobfuscating the interfaces, do you want me to post here the dates and videos of the releases of the OMG and Silence interfaces?, and then see Vraekar's?, do you want?, a blatant copy, even their variable names, the theft is blatant, and you who are an admin here at Max and say you are the right one, helped him decrypt and remove the code obfuscation, everyone knows that, and now you come and tell me that his code is not copied?, if you want I can put all the evidence here and this will be very ugly even for you, since those you helped Vraekar and the interface dev community know this, they know about the thefts, very ugly indeed my friend that you still come and tell such a lie.   ps. And just one more thing, did you say that all the code he wrote? you became a joker? Vraekar doesn't program a single line of code, the guy works as a data analyst, what he learned was to copy and paste ready-made codes, but he doesn't write a single line of code.
    • I'd like to join aCis community but i can't handle the contributions that often due to my job. I'm returning to L2 development after a few years away and it would be awesome getting this source to work. I can (and would like to) contribute with reviews and code now and then (i'm software engineer for global companies), but sadly i can't commit the time.   I have a hard sense of ethical to not not leak anything (my current web project is paid from nkdev even when there's a leaked version floating around.)   Please let me know when/if acceptance through donations is available again. @Tryskell   In the mean time, gl on your project. Sounds amazing.
    • I don't understand why you're judging Vraekar at all. He did nothing wrong. I've checked the code from that interface, and all the code inside the UC was written by Vraekar. Nothing was copy-pasted. It's the people who stole this patch and are reselling it at a higher price so who's the scammer here, Vraekar or them?
    • Greetings! I'm looking for someone that knows how to improve the movements on the gameplay and to create a mod for awsd movement so camera won't move with the character on L2 Classic, more info pm and if you already know how to do these, pm with your price, thank you!
