Leslie Nielsen

"Scary Movie" of the '80s

Movie that launched Leslie Nielsen is considered to be one of the best movies of all time, in UK it is acknowledged as second best comedy after "Life of Brian", and in USA in 2010. it is chosen for preservation in National Film Registry. This film very faithfully follows screenplay for "Zero Hour!" and than upgrades it with parodies of many other, mostly "disaster", movies. Personally, my favorite is opening scene that spoofs "Jaw", but almost every scene is parody of something and that train of spoofs is so fast that there's no chance you could catch them all, even if you are familiar with all movies it parodies. To bring it closer to new millennium generations, this is "Scary Movie"of '80s.

7/10

Overrated

This show was canceled after just six episodes and, I must say, it's justified. Although "Naked Gun" franchise that I love is based on this show, this was pretty much boring to me. If I saw it as a kid back in 80's I would probably be thrilled, but I do not see how anyone passed elementary school could like this. I cannot say it's crap, but it is overrated and I think the main reason for its cult status is the very fact it was canceled so soon. People have strange habit to oppose and many shows grew instant popularity as soon as they were canceled. In some cases, like with Firefly, it's justified, but in this case, the only credit this show deserves is for spawning "Naked Gun" franchise.

Lots of fun

Comedy that parodies all cop movies clichés you could possibly think of and then some more already promises good entertainment. And when you add Leslie Nielsen in equation...

"She could be related to Joe Cocker"

- She has an ungodly voice, maniacal facial expressions...
- That doesn't prove a thing, she could be related to Joe Cocker.
- No.
- Could it be she had PMS?

A comedy made as a sequel to a famous horror "The Exorcist". In the original movie, in 1973 devil takes possession of a girl named Reagan, while in "Repossessed" he takes the same person 17 years later, but here she is named Nancy. Linda Blair plays both roles, Nancy and Reagan... Nancy Reagan :D For her role in "The Exorcist" she got Golden Globe and Oscar nomination, while in her later performances she was nominated for the worst actress six times. The movie is full of typical Leslie Nielsen humor, references and parodies to everything and anything. To me, it was very entertaining and definitely worth watching, maybe even more than the original.

7,5/10

Slightly better than the first one

To me, this one was slightly better than the original. It is extremely stupid and even more fun. And full of references to cult films. This time I actually laughed out loud.

7,5/10

The best part of the trilogy

This is maybe the best part of "Naked Gun" trilogy. Hilarious parody on many popular movies and crime genre itself. Leslie Nielsen, as awesome as usual, and beautiful angel Priscilla Presley, who was 50 years old at the time which is extremely hard to believe. Even harder to believe is her bad taste in men. I mean, first Elvis and now Frank Drebin.

8/10

Douchebag of the year

"Superhero Movie" is to Marvel and DC superhero actions what "Scary Movie" is to the horror genre. An unscrupulous, offensive mockery of the superhero genre, with an accent on "Spiderman", full of slapstick gags, profanity, and mediocre jokes. It's reminiscent of Leslie Nielsen's earlier work ("Airplane!", "The Naked Gun"), but it's not on that level. While I think the superhero genre absolutely deserves to be mocked, it could have been done a lot better. It entertained me and made me laugh a bit, but is it a good movie? No, it is not. Is it worth watching? If you liked "Scary Movie" further than the first one, give this a chance.
