The capital of Nebraska is Lincoln!

She was six feet of black dynamite, he was a short, Hasidic Jew.
She fought a savage battle to stay alive in the ghetto, he studied the Talmud at night!
While she burned the ghetto to the ground, he kindled the Sabbath candles!

Theirs was a love of passion, a torrid, sensual lust, fueled by those who said "NO!!!"

Samuel L. Bronkowitz presents... Cleopatra Schwartz!!!

I wonder what I would do with the Naked Gun steelbook, hoping for a seperate release of Airplane and Top secret.

If it is indeed a six disc set, then the other three will just be Blu-rays thrown in

Yes, but it's a nice thought to imagine a full ZAZ set on 5 4k discs and one Blu for the show, init? (such a lovely dream...)

Waking up tho? Yeah, you're gonna be right on what it really has.

Well, the credits on that page definitively confirm at least two of the films.

Yeah, it's the same credits that are listed on Amazon, which is what led me to realizing what the set was for. I mentioned it in the first post. Leslie Nielsen could very well be doing double-duty there for both Airplane and Naked Gun.

Same basic listing on Movies Unlimited…

No please come in a slim shelf space saving case.

Personally, I prefer AIRPLANE II: THE SEQUEL to THE NAKED GUN (*sound of playing record scratching loudly and going silent as all forum eyes turn murderously toward Filmmaker*), so I’m still dreaming that somehow makes an appearance even though it’s not truly a ZAZ production, though I realize it’s highly unlikely.

Ok, now I'm finally holding the Tulsa thing against you

[damien bayser]

I remember D Zucker saying Paramount was ok with the recut of Top Secret! as long as it was for special screenings only. So I'm not sure they are willing to share it officially.

[figrin_dan]

Does anyone know what was cut and why?

[Martoto]

I could hazard a guess. They mention in the commentary how the last third of the movie is too plot driven. By which they meant that they felt obliged to fill the last third of the movie with material that made the plot seem important and substantial and it messes up the rhythm of comedy scene after comedy scene that the first two thirds set. And the final few scenes feel tired and sluggish. With Airplane! they already had the plot (the whole movie in fact) and knew how much time to spend on it to get the audience on board. But with Top Secret! they had to come up with their own plot. By Naked Gun they got better at this though.

It could be they recut the last act to make it a bit less of a chore.

The boys on the board won't like this.
