"Bunch of bombs in the air" sent me to the ground laughing the first time I saw this. That entire baseball scene is pure gold.

[johnm.]

Listening to the organist struggle mightily to stay in the same key makes me laugh even harder! Comedy at its finest. RIP Mr. Nielsen.

[jamesroad]

Everybody was trying so hard to stay in character and not die of laughter. props to them

[lfgubrs]

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hail
in the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose bright stripes and brought stars in the perilous night
O’er the ramparts we watched da na na na na na na
And the rockets red glare, bunch of bombs in the air
Gave proof through the night that we still had our flag

Oh! Say does that spangled banner wave over that is free!
O’er the home of the land, and the land of the free!

RIP Leslie Nielsen

[joemac]

I love the mayor's reaction at 0:27.

[emmittd]

Man they don't make movies like this no more...Lmao he killed it!

[tomservo]

I am so lucky i grew up in the 80s. We had the greatest movies and actors. I remember seeing this one in the theater when it first came out.

[theguyfromwalgreens]

I use to lose it when the real Enrico is banging his head into the pillow.  This is one of my favorite comedy movies ever.

[FretzlemaniaPod]

A Canadian butchering the US anthem lol RIP Leslie. We miss you!

[jmauck]

Still better than Fergie at tonight's NBA All Star Game.

[sleuthentertainment]

Leslie Nielsen in his best performance, and one of the most unforgettable performances in comedy ever seen
If someone has to sing the USA anthem it must be him

[stevenland]

"Gave proof to the night that we still had a flag." Hilarious.

[brianhead]

Haha..."That they still had a flag..."

[ginorojas]

Listening to someone sing the national anthem will never be the same thanks to this scene.
Those lyrics will always be in the back in mind lol. Thank you, Mr Nielsen.

[heyyyyyynow]

I love how he has to force doing it badly. He probably had a great singing voice.

[CFCforeverable]

"home of the land and the land of the free" lool wtf

[MrShutterbug]

After hearing Ingrid Andress' version, I had to revisit the gold standard of National Anthems.

[jenniferschillig]

Thanks to Frank Drebin, I can no longer listen to our national anthem without giggling. (Or singing these words.)

[Greendragon]

One of the greatest movies of all time .

[gabrielwinter]

I am eighteen and I think this is one of the best comedies ever.
