Died from pneumonia at the age of 84. Sad day. I grew up on his movies so I'm pretty bummed.

Color me completely bummed. Loved Neilsen and pretty much every movie he was a part of. :(

even the dozen or so crappy spoof films he's appeared in over the last decade or so?

I think I worded that a bit incorrectly. :lol: Let me try that again: I haven't seen every flick he's been in, but all the ones I've seen I liked him in it. The movies themselves might leave something to be desired, but I dug Neilsen himself.

Irvin Kershner also passed away today. He was 87.

Why couldn't it have been George Lucas? :p Kirshner is the true king of Star Wars.

And he also directed Robo Cop 2... Saved one Franchise and destroyed another. seems they both (Ker and Lucas) have a lot in common.

I would say Robocop 3 destroyed that franchise...

Never was a big Neilsen fan, but always sad to see someone you 'know', in the sense that this is someone whose voice and shtick most of us have known since we were children, passes away.

RIP

RIP

My sentiments as well. Not a huge fan of that style of comedy, but the guy certainly earned his iconic status.

Did he get his balls bitten off by a Lapplander?

That's how I wanna go...

Indeed.

Though did Kershener ever do another good film after Empire? The few I seen are pretty subpar. Robocop 2 suffered from studio interfernce so, I can forgive that.


As, Neilsen very sad to hear his passing :-(

I remember my first I viewed him in was Dracula: Dead and Loving back when I was 7 years old. While, not one of his bes I still remember laughing at all the scenes he was in without, him tha film would have probably failed for me since, the rest of the cast was pretty dull except, for Renfield, and Helshing.
