Wrongfully Accused
Murder in the first. Comedy every second. Framed for the shooting of a corporate moneybags, Ryan Harrison has been Wrongfully Accused! He's also been Rightfully Cast. Leslie Nielson, comedy's most bent straight arrow, portrays Harrison in the directorial debut of screenwriter Pat Proft, whose credits include the Naked Gun and Hot Shots! Movies. Like so many heroes before him, Harrison's gotta do what a hero's gotta do. (Only he does it funnier.) Clear his name. Find a one-armed, one-legged, one-eyed criminal. Evade a manhunt. Plunge over a waterfall. Remove that flopping fish from his pocket. Yes, Harrison is a fugitive. Not The Fugitive, although that movie is cleverly parodied, as are Mission: Impossible, Braveheart, Casablanca and many more. The spoofs come fast and hilarious in a caper that's not just a movie--it's every movie!

Rightfully Accused... Of Being Funny - TheAlchemist
The opening titles reads "Leslie Nielsen is Leslie Nielsen" as if this was character he plays and this is the case in the satire of wrongly-accused-people kind of movie. This is a classical comic movie where the director plays with your sense of expectation on a scene and something completely wacky happens such as Nielsen's character dramatically jump into fast falling water from a dam, but the scene is interrupted with Baywatch style lifeguards, in a beach, running to save him. However, one of the lifeguards guys reach the water at the beach and retreats because "it is too cold". If you like this kind of humor, this is your movie. This is a typical Nielsen movie, but not his best. Enjoy it!
