You guys were all so close. I fooled you.....with "kind of a baseball movie" The quote was from Naked Gun (albeit not word for word). Frank Drebin said something like it to Priscilla Presley in Angels Stadium after Ricardo Montalban fell off the side of stadium and got ran over by the USC marching band, a steamroller, and a bus. I think the movie is based on a true story. :wink:

total classic but I think you are stretching "kind of" a baseball movie. I saw that at a drive-in back in the day. Sequels still are funny but the first Naked Gun movie was great. Especially thinking about how much it made me like OJ Simpson as a seemingly great, funny, wicked nice guy lol.
My wife had never seen it till I made her watch it and knowing what we know now she just couldn't wrap her head around watching OJ Simpson. Plus some of the comedic greatness did lend itself rather perfectly to my youth so it doesn't quite have the same effect now. That said, Leslie Nielsen was the man. Nobody better at that type of humor ever.
