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.

legendaryunderdog Pat Proft's directorial debut is a grand slam in my opinion, Leslie Nielsen is hilarious in this movie, he delivers some of the funniest Naked Gun inspired lines of all the characters.I would recommend this movie to anyone who just wants to chill out watch a silly movie and get some real laughs. Awesome spoof flick. Watch for old Colonel Trautman from the Rambo flicks <->(Richard Crenna). There is not a serious moment in this movie and if it seems serious at all just wait a few seconds and something silly will happen, I made a point to try that out in this movie and it never fails, it seems like every ten to fifteen seconds something crazy is going on whether on screen in front of you or in the background.

Lee Eisenberg If it stars Leslie Nielsen, you know that it's just a totally silly spoof. In this case, they're spoofing "The Fugitive", with Nielsen as a witless violinist framed for murder. Of, this is just a springboard for a nonsense gag every couple of seconds, often meaning that figures of speech become literal. Or something very erotic.True, the critics will say that these sorts of movies are completely ridiculous - maybe even worthless - but anything poking fun at "Titanic" as they do at the end gets an A in my book. "Wrongfully Accused" is a nice, silly excuse for a good time. And you're sure to have one. Also starring Richard Crenna, Melinda McGraw, Kelly LeBrock, Michael York and Sandra Bernhardt.And remember: nobody cares about the following people...
