Which was ALSO weird, because without the rest, it just randomly has "Theme Song by "Weird Al" Yankovic" pop up in the middle of the video.

About 2001: One or two years ago, there was a podcast about Leslie with the writers and directors of Repossessed, Spy Hard and 2001. One of the writers of 2001 is American and the director is Canadian so I don't know why you assume Leslie would have been confused during the shooting. The interview with the writer and the director was pretty revealing. The truth is that, and this one hurts, Leslie co-wrote the film (uncredited). It was his project as a producer, and he was really involved in the process. So much that he constantly reminded the director that HE made all of those successful spoofs so HE knew what made them work. After one week of shooting, there was this scene where he has to fall over a table. Despite the director's recommendation, he decided to do his own stunt, arguing he did it many times on The Naked Gun. It ended with a broken nose and a day at the hospital. The director thought the movie was over but Leslie came on set the next day with a broken nose (which they tried to avoid filming) and personally apologized to the director. Another anecdote: For the scene with the goats, the unexperimented foreign crew hired a person who owned goats but the goats had never been on a set before! The shooting of that scene was such a mess that it also hurt the schedule pretty badly. From what the director said, Leslie was really proud of the film anyway. The director, who had never shot a comedy before, promised himself to never shoot a comedy ever again.
@mrcritical67513 ай бұрын
Do you know what podcast that was? Honestly that sounds very likely and very tragic. I can picture Leslie, his star fading and desperate to reignite it, writing up 2001 to try and recapture his glory days without realising why people liked his movies and that he was just too old by that point to effectively lead them. Also shows that potentially he didn’t resist know why he was a success, he was just glad he was a success, which I just find sad if I’m being honest

He seemed to think he was in so many spoof movies he knows how to make them himself - but boy, was he wrong about that.

Also, I might be wrong, but I always heard that Feinberg and Seltzer got their start in the industry because they unfairly got a writer's credit on the original Scary Movie. Like they wrote a completely unrelated script, also called Scary Movie, and sued the studio, claiming they ripped off their concept, so they got writer's credit to shut them up.

Space Travesty came out theatrically here in Canada, too, but apparently went straight-to-video in the US? I never saw it until it came to the free movie channels on cable here (TMN, I believe it was called, which literally showed movies 24/7). The only thing I remember being funny about it was the ending credits. During the end credits they do the thing like the old Zucker/Abrhams/Zucker movies did where they include jokes within the text of the credits. One of the jokes was a bit of text stating that there would be milk and cookies out in the theatre lobby after the movie ended (which is a weird joke since the plan was to release the movie straight-to-video in the US). When the credits ended, there was another message, "Sorry, no milk and cookies, here's this fart reel to make it up to you", and the movie then played a bunch of fart sounds in a row while giving the name of the fart sound from the sound library. I think it was the only part of the movie that made my family laugh out loud.

Repossessed has a remarkably subtle joke that I just now noticed. Linda Blair's character in Repossessed is named Nancy, and her character in The Exorcist is named Regan. Who was Ronald Reagan's wife? Nancy Reagan. I'm honestly kinda surprised they slipped in something that subtle and clever.

I think your theory about Leslie Nielsen being shoehorned into “Repossessed” at the last minute is very feasible, because I got that same vibe from “Safety Patrol.” He’s on the poster for that movie like he’s one of the main stars and yet he’s barely in it. Also, Weird Al is in “Safety Patrol” too. I’m curious why he kept popping up in Leslie Nielsen movies as well, especially since “Safety Patrol” isn’t even a parody as far I’m aware.

This just shows what legacy Nielsen had after the Naked Gun films, but also how hard it is to get spoof films right.

Say what you will about Repossessed, but for it's time it really was something special.

Parody was in it's infancy... and this was even weirder... meta parody. Way ahead of it's time, and despite it's shortcomings... kind of a good time. Linda Blair was brilliant, and Nielsen does a decent job being a supporting character. Also, how can you hate the Devil in a Blue Dress scene? It's a friggin' classic.

But yeah I agree with Hats Off how Leslie Nielsen works much better as a straight man in a sea of silliness, when he's in on the joke, it doesn't feel as funny.

"Repossessed I caught on cable, actually had seen it before The Exorcist so a lot of jokes flew over my head, though I just didn't remember finding too much amusement." Weird Al once said in an interview (and he was absolutely correct) that a good parody should be funny even if you are unfamiliar with the source material. There were a lot of movie parodies in early Simpsons episodes that I thought were funny as a kid, not even realizing they WERE references at all. For example, when Homer buys Lisa a pony and surprises her by putting it in her bed when she's asleep. She then wakes up and freaks out, not expecting a horse's head to be next to hers. I didn't find out until years later that it is a reference to a scene in The Godfather, but it still worked on its own.

Then they cut Friedberg's 96-minute version down to 77-minutes with their new brainless stuff mixed in.

I did enjoy Spy Hard, but it's clearly a Naked Gun 4 fan fic, and it feels like they took the excesses of 33 1/3 up to 11. I will say the one thing that made me actually dislike the movie over time is this. The editing and pacing is screwed up royally. There exists a TV edit that actually ADDS scenes to the movie that help flesh it out a little better. I can't recall them perfectly, but Leslie being strapped to the bed with the bomb attached has a much longer scene, and there's something about them entering the villain's island that at least gives the scene some heft. But they don't even have these preserved on DVD, so you just aren't getting the necessary bulk that keeps the film from being completely "LOL RANDOMZ" and lets things breathe. That said, I saw 2001 and, yeah. The only 2 jokes I legitimately remember are some alien species only taking a dump once a year (something that in retrospect feels like something from Men in Black 2, you know, the worst one), and the Orangina product placement. It feels cheap and like a bad foreign comedy dubbed in English, and the Osama Bin Laden joke at the beginning must've been ADR'd at some point before the US home video release.
