Lloyd Bridges was a class act. When I was a kid we had a cabin in the same place Lloyd did. We would run into him occasionally. He was the most polite, kind, personable and hospitable person one could meet, even to some star stuck knucklehead kids. His kindness meant a lot. He was a True Gentleman. Fast forward to Jeff winning Best Actor. There is some justice in the universe.
@@jackhammer7824 I haven't seen the film so I can't comment. I just realised that Leslie Nielsen and Lloyd Bridges did both star in Flying High however they never were in the same scene.
When Airplane came out, my family went to see it at the theater. I was rolling out of my seat in laughter. Seeing Leslie Nielsen playing comedy was hilarious. Robert Stack & Lloyd Bridges were all great actors and comedians.
That throwaway gag where Stack whips off the sunglasses to reveal a smaller pair of sunglasses underneath cracks me up even by just thinking about it. Even tho I know it’s coming, it gets me every time I watch Airplane. But then, the antics of Gilligan and the Skipper still tickle me, so it’s probably just my funny bone.
It's videos like this where I truly hope we have a lot more years of Jeff Bridges left. He's genuinely so proud of his dad and his brother, his entire family really - and a great story teller.
Yeah great film. Another underrated film that Jeff did was 1988’s “Tucker” which was about a car designer who tried to complete with GM, Ford & Dodge. His dad Lloyd was in that one also.
My local tv station used to advertise that movie once in a while, saying they were going to play it in prime time. Every bleeping time they ended up playing a Corey haim movie of the same name.
In the Summer of '92 I was walking down the street in Cologne Germany with some classmates, and we saw Lloyd Bridges. We walked up to him to say hello and to thank him for all of the entertainment he had provided us over the years. We were able to get our picture taken with him. He asked me what my favorite movie of his was, and I said "Airplane" He commented that "everybody says that. I've made so many great movies and that's the one everybody loves." I told him that for people my age, it would be their favorite. He was so nice to us, he was a great man. It was also funny that all of the Germans were looking at him wondering who he was...
Awesome acting family Bridges. So " normal" & approachable, happy to chat. No Hollywood elitist attitude. That's the secret right there Their ability to be humble and relate to ppl in general. This is their research and craft in characters.
For me seeing Lloyd Bridges in Airplane was more "wow, that's the guy from the Longest Day!!" He was so funny, and yet so serious and dramatic in the war film. Brilliant actor.
Met Lloyd at a hospital in Woodland Hills in a waiting room. Can't remember the circumstances but I do remember what a nice man he was We only chatted a few minutes. His Airplane scenes hurt my ribs with his chain smoking and glue sniffing. What a riot. RIP Lloyd. Thanks for the continuing memories.
Me too, it was the very first tv show that I watched every week & wouldn't miss an episode. The scary thing is that I watched an episode online recently for the first time in probably 55-60 years... & while it gave me a warm nostalgic feeling, omg it is so dated (not surprising, I guess... so am I... lol)
I’m a young dude...so my introduction to Lloyd Bridges was as the President in the Hot Shots movies...then I saw Jeff play the dude...as I got older I went back and saw their other works...talk about range!
This is great. Like everyone else in the entire world, I love Jeff! I remember Sea Hunt from back in the day, I was in about sixth grade. It was a good show.
Lloyd Bridges is the greatest EVER! When I was a kid I never missed Sea Hunt and Lloyd is the reason I became a scuba diver, And now that I think about it, Sky King is the reason I became an airplane Pilot....
So....as Sam is buddy breathing for each passenger he brings to the surface from his submerged airliner, after it lands in 40 feet of water...he's thinking... "I picked a hell of a week to stop under-achieving".
One of my favourite t-shirts has that exact pic of Lloyd Bridges, from ‘Airplane!’, with “I picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue” printed underneath. It never fails to get comments, whenever I wear it. In the same way Jeff will be remembered as ‘The Dude’, Lloyd will remembered for his performance in ‘Airplane!’. And that’s not a bad thing in either instance.
I'm watching the original Battle Star Galactica and the episodes with Lloyd Bridges as "The Legendary Commander Caine" are the best! Lloyd Bridges played it like a less prima donna Patton. Great fun!
I ran into Lloyd Bridges once. It was April 29, 1992. I was going into the Laemmle Royal Theater in West LA to see Howard's End. Lloyd and his wife (I assume) was coming out from the previous show. It was quite a thrill (love Airplane and Sea Hunt). What made it even more memorable was coming out of the movie at 8/9 pm to find that LA was under siege. The Rodney King verdict was announced that day. The next few days were also memorable.
You are not living in reality because many sons don't like their dads in this world. Personally, I love my dad, best friend, my hero..... but to say everyone loved their dad is not realistic.
Part of the underlying humor of the Airplane movies was the casting of well known SERIOUS actors such as Lloyd, Peter Graves, Leslie Nielson, Robert Stack, etc. in comedic roles.
Lloyd was a funny guy & great actor. He also was in a couple of Jeff’s films. He played Jeff’s Irish uncle in 1993’s action/thriller “Blown Away” & a corrupt Michigan senator who conspired with the Big 3 auto makers to frame a new car inventor in 1988’s “Tucker - the Man and his Dream”. I highly recommend both of them.
@@prezidenttrump5171 Solomon said there is a time for war and a time for peace. Donald Trump knows the difference between killing babies for a 3 second orgasm and the loss of genius that could've cured cancer, prevented a war, or simply helped an old man across the street. I'm tired of moral illiterates!
Blown away is one of the best Jeff bridges movies I’ve seen along with Tron 1 and 2, the muse, simpatico, fabulous baker boys, 8 million ways to die, star man and the big Lebowski. And it’s one of the best because of seeing Jeff bridges and Tommy Lee Jones together in an action movie. And it came out the same year as speed and true lies which also dealt with terrorism and bombs and explosions. It still is a classic to me and better than Arlington road 5 years later.
I imagine Jeff getting close to throwing the movie when the producer asked him to have Lloyd read for a part. But then knowing the pleasure of having his dad "knock it out of the park" as he said, in the audition. The one thing hollywood did was creating typecasting, because it´s not the actor, it never was. As many comedians have shown many many times, is that they make the best drama performances(but almost no drama actor can be funny).
Lloyd Bridges had an amazing personal influence. He endorsed Sun pool products among his many roles. So when a family friend was building a pool and looking for cleaning products, I immediately suggested Sun. They asked me why I'd recommend it when we don't have a pool I simply replied, "Because Lloyd Bridges said so." And they ended up choosing Sun. RIP Mr. Bridges.
I loved SeaHunt, the guy was a BRILLIANT, looked the part , I was a " believer ". It was great when he did those later film's, his personality lit the screen, LEGEND.
Here in Australia it was reported that Lloyd Bridges was an ex navy diver. It would have been great if Jeff played the son in Seinfeld. All the main actors in Flying High (way better title then Airplane) had appeared in Aircraft disaster movies.

Lloyd Bridges and Leslie Nielsen. 2 serious actors with serious comedic acting chops! Miss those guys

It goes to show you even in Hollywood you can raise your kids right and even there they will become good human beings
I used to watch Sea Hunt every week when I was little. Lloyd Bridges was too cool.
Same here. And Jeff and Beau were in the show as kids.
Course I still like The Addams family and shows like that from that era.
Blown Away is such an underrated movie
I can still recall the playground scene like I had just watched it, decades later.

The scary thing is that I watched an episode online recently for the first time in probably 55-60 years... & while it gave me a warm nostalgic feeling, omg it is so dated (not surprising, I guess... so am I... lol)
We used to joke and call it _C Hunt_ when we went out looking for girls.
As kids, we'd jump out of boats backwards holding our hands to our face and yell "Sea Hunt!"
I remember Lloyd in "Joe Versus The Volcano" as Samuel Harvey Graynamore. I love that movie!
I’m a young dude...so my introduction to Lloyd Bridges was as the President in the Hot Shots movies...then I saw Jeff play the dude...as I got older I went back and saw their other works...talk about range!
Always admire a son that thing they know how to speak about a father.
Growing up as a young boy I never missed an episode of Sea Hunt. Lloyd Bridges was one of my first TV hero's. It was a good show.
Airplane! is, and always will be, one of the funniest movies ever made.
I can't believe it took me this long to realized Jeff Bridges is the son of Lloyd Bridges...
Beau Bridges, also.
@@viktoriaironpride4977 Jeff is the son of Lloyd and Beau Bridges?
@@stevekenton9422 You're kidding, aren't you? Jeff and Beau are brothers, both sons of Lloyd.
Stop sniffing glue.. this is the right week
Same
This is great. Like everyone else in the entire world, I love Jeff! I remember Sea Hunt from back in the day, I was in about sixth grade. It was a good show.
As an extra watched Jeff perform music in a bar in the film Only The Brave. Quite an honor .

Love Lloyd, Jeff, the whole Bridges family was Hollywood royalty.
I remember watching his dad in one of my favorite shows as a kid in the 60's, Sea Hunt.
Man, I had no idea they were related. Just adds an awesome flavor to these guys as actors.
One of my favourite roles that Lloyd Bridges played was as Commander Cain in the two-part Battlestar Galactica story "The Living Legend".
"I picked a bad time to give up sniffing glue"........🤣😂
Thank god I switched to heroin....
It's coming right at us......( Jumps through a window )
"I picked a bad day to give up drinking!" "I picked a bad day to give up smoking." "Picked a bad day to give up sniffing glue!" Sniff!!!... Lol!
I use that line all the time, it never gets dull.
Lloyd Bridges (as Izzy Mandelbaum): "You think you're better than me!?"......no, Mr. Bridges.....wasn't nobody better than you!
pick up that tv
Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum!
It's GO time!

Jeff Bridges is one of my favorites. If you never watched Wild Bill go watch it.
sea hunt is the show that lead me to become a navy diver, thanks lloyd
Jeff is my favourite actor. Love this guy.
Lloyd Bridges, what a brilliant actor. I mostly know him from his comedy roles, but man, these were memorable like nothing else! What a legend!!
Didn't want to develop a very strong persona. "The Dude".
Only The Dude could turn up to an interview in slippers .
Just a great person. I enjoyed watching him so much.
Lloyd was hilarious in Hot Shots 1 and 2 as well
I never knew that he was Jeffs dad! This is a awesome discovery for me.
I was obsessed with Sea Hunt when I was a little kid. I was totally into Lloyd Bridges.

Greetings from Melbourne. There is a video on CZcams that compares Lloyd bridges in hot shots to Joe Biden
Funny, we seem to have the Lloyd Bridges president character from Hot Shots! actually in office now
Angrily crushes and tosses paper cup down: "And I've seen foam tear a man's guts out."
Love that man everyday don't take yourself to serious....
Lordy, look at those slippers. And barefoot.
Lloyd also appeared with Jeff in Tucker, The Man & His Dream. Lloyd played a corrupt Senator trying to crush Preston Tucker's startup enterprise before it could get off the ground.
Great movie.
My favourite Sea Hunt was when Mike discovered the hippies underwater weed patch ........ still looking
You smoking right now? Show ended in 1961, weren't no hippies around until '65. Lol.
It's a pity Lloyd Bridges never did a third Hot Shots! film before he died.
Awesome...🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
