Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Prolabas Deeper than the descriptions

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

SnoopyStyle Ryan Harrison (Leslie Nielsen) is a world renown violinist superstar. He has an affair with Lauren Goodhue (Kelly LeBrock) and gets framed for her husband (Michael York)'s murder. He is sentenced to death and escapes Fugitive style. He is hunted by Lieutenant Fergus Falls (Richard Crenna). He encounters Cass Lake (Melinda McGraw) who suspects Lauren to be her sister.This has all the Nielsen wacky fun. Pat Proft does his usual writing and directs for the first time. It's a bit slow at first until it gets to the Fugitive part. It's able to concentrate on spoofing that movie and is much the better for it. The funniest aspect of the movie is the Fugitive spoof. The rest with the crazy family and terrorism is a lot of noise and fury signifying who knows what. The plot is a mess anyways and would have functioned much better if it followed The Fugitive plot. This is for fans of wacky Nielsen only.

dglink A late entry in Leslie Nielsen's career-rebooting series of movie parodies, 1998's "Wrongfully Accused" treads familiar territory. However, the film will likely be catnip to fans of "Airplane," "Naked Gun," and "Police Squad." Written, produced, and directed by Pat Proft, a veteran writer on the "Police Squad" TV series and the "Naked Gun" movie trilogy, the movie is an endless string of hit-or-miss sight gags, bad puns, and slapstick. While showing his age, the 72-year-old Nielsen manages to keep up with the frantic pace. Proft's first and only directorial effort is a take-off on Harrison Ford's "The Fugitive," and Nielsen plays Ryan Harrison, a moniker among numerous obvious references, who is a music virtuoso also known as Lord of the Violin. Nielsen is passingly involved with the wife of Hibbing Goodhue, played by Michael York, and, when York is murdered, Nielsen is convicted of the crime, jailed, and sentenced to death. The set pieces imitate the original film with a train-bus wreck in which Nielsen escapes, a pursuit in the sewers, and a daring jump into a raging river. On the run, Nielsen seeks to prove his innocence by finding a one-armed, one-legged, one-eyed man, all the while pursued by Richard Crenna, a garrulus cop named Lieutenant Fergus Falls. For movie buffs, the references to old movies are enough to make the film entertaining; from extended scenes that mimic "The Usual Suspects," "Mission Impossible," "Titanic," and "North by Northwest," to passing references to "The Empire Strikes Back," "Field of Dreams," and "Braveheart," to dialog lifted from "Casablanca," Proft's movie is great fun. Viewers are advised to sit through the wacky end credits, which like those of earlier Nielsen spoofs, include a number of genuinely funny attributions. Unfortunately, unlike other Nielsen spoofs, the cast is light on star cameos, and only York and Sandra Bernhardt are well known among the cast. While Melinda McGraw plays Nielsen's sidekick and love interest, she fails to make a strong impression, and the more than 35-year age difference between Nielsen and McGraw is borderline icky. However, the May-December attraction is a small quibble. The audience for "Wrongfully Accused" knows what they paid for, and the film generally delivers. However, those who hated "Airplane" and "Naked Gun" are warned to stay clear.

Leofwine_draca This fast-paced comedic take on THE FUGITIVE is definitely one for those who are already acquainted with Nielsen's own brand of humour, as it's not his best film. However it is a highly enjoyable one with a rapid succession of gags and jokes, most of them lowbrow, but at least there are so many that you are bound to find at least some funny. Also included are the expected movie gags ranging from FIELD OF DREAMS to MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE to BRAVEHEART and lots in between. Indeed there's so much going on that dedicated fans will probably want to watch a couple of times to check out all the jokes they missed.Nielsen is on top form as usual, and supported by an able cast including the likes of Richard Crenna and Michael York. Highlights include the hospital scene, the shoot-out at the end, and lots in between. Although only for acquired tastes, I personally love this type of silly humour and prefer it to the "gross-out" humour which has become so popular as of late. I'd take this over American PIE any day.

denis888 Oh, what a sheer delight! If I had to choose one of the most hilarious, and one of the funniest films ever made, I'd choose this one. What a great entertainment, what a clever fun, mighty pun and a merciless satire on those films that it mocks at! Mr. Nielsen is as usual at his best. His impossibly funny face, his over the place, exaggerated gestures and intonations are merciless stabs and jeers at all those "hot actors", who really need to be shaken a bit. The plot is based on several films, and it interweaves all the plot lines so impeccably easily that you have to check every time what film it makes a parody on. The main idea is pretty simple - a famous violinist, Ryan Harrison is wrongly accused of murder he did not commit, so he has to become a run-away. He is chased by an incredibly silly police, and he has to overcome so many hardships - the wild wood, train chase, computer problems, shootout. The clever stabs on Mission Impossible, BraveHeart, as well as Stephen King's Corn fields are just brilliant. You cannot change your breath, so hard your laugh is. The main hero finally finds one-eyed, one-armed, one-legged Irish terrorist, Sean McGhrea, and the revenge is sweet, but you really must see that final scene on Titanic board, when the lovely romantic couple is cruelly hit by a low-hanging bridge. Impossibly funny, really smart, clever, merry and very bold. Excellent film.
