David McK (3935 KP) rated The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) in Movies
Aug 3, 2025
This is full of visual gags and puns, not all of which land, with Nielson admirably deadpan throughout. Slight cringe in that his partner, here, is OJ Simpson from back before his arrest, trail and imprisonment for murder.

David McK (3935 KP) rated Plane (2023) in Movies
Mar 17, 2025
So pretty much what you'd expect, really.
here, he plays a pilot who is forced to crash-land his plane on a remote and war-torn island after it is hit by lightning (on New Years Eve, whilst travelling home to see his daughter), with his passengers then taken hostage by the rebels on said island and with Butler then having to find a way to rescue them, in company with a prisoner who was being transported on board his plane, wanted for murder.
Solid if unspectacular.
