"My name is Sergeant Frank Drebin, Space Squad. There'd been a recent wave of gorgeous fashion models found naked and unconscious in laundromats on the West side. Unfortunately I was assigned to investigate a missing scientist on Altair IV."
Nielsen used to have quite respectable leading man career before AIrplane. People were legit shocked when he played Dr. Rumack because he never seemed to be the guy with the comedy chops. And then it became his whole thing.

I've been given a fancy new sidearm. Unfortunately, it only harms people named Ray.

That movie scared the daylights out of me when I was about 10. Rated G, but that doesnt really mean anything for movies that old haha

Good catch. Amazon Women on the Moon spoofed Queen of Outer Space, which reused stuff from Forbidden Planet.
