Leslie Nielsen returns with another hilarious spoof, this time starring as violinist Ryan Harrison, who is framed for murdering Hibbing Goodhue. He needs to find a mysterious one-eyed, one-armed, one-legged man to get to the truth of the crime, all the while trying to hide from the pursuing authorities.

As with any Nielson spoofs, there are non-stop gags from start to finish that will have you horse-laughing. Slapstick humor is abundance here, but did get a little old in a plot where the momentum didn't flow as quick as Nielsen's earlier spoof movies like the Naked Gun films. However, the slapstick humor is done tastefully in a way that is doesn't get borderline annoying (i.e., forced comedy).

The characters are calm and serious as always in their demeanor, especially Nielson, spoofing his "The Fugitive" character well. Stars Wars, Titanic, Back to the Future and Anaconda are among the many movies hilariously spoofed - all giving us another entertaining and laughable comedy.

Grade B-

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.

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.
