Scary Movie: Leslie Nielsen
built 238 days ago
A lot of "Scary Movie 4" borders on abusive. The sight of a catatonic Cloris Leachman banging her head on a shelf or the image of Leslie Nielsen waking up next to a goose in his bed feels evil. (Although seeing the real Dr. Phil get thwacked with a falling light fixture does tickle.) Faris and Bierko are consistently funny.... Try as you might, you won't find dollar signs flashing in their eyes. They're excellent sports, and low-rent geniuses playing the parts of fools. Regina Hall shows up, too, wearing a pair of fabulous gongs in her ears.

[M]aking a return appearance as president of the United States from SCARY MOVIE 3 is Zucker alumnus Leslie Nielsen, a veteran of over 100 motion pictures and more than 1500 television appearances. He built a reputation portraying manly authority figures (including the Space Ship Commander in the sci-fi classic "Forbidden Planet" and the Captain of the ill-fated cruise ship in "The Poseidon Adventure") before he turned his image inside out with a hysterically funny deadpan performance as the loopy doctor in Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker's "Airplane!" (1980). He continued to team with the ZAZ comedy team on the TV series "Police Squad!" on which he originated the role of police Lt. Frank Drebin, which he re-created in "The Naked Gun," in the 1991 sequel "Naked Gun 2 1/2" and again in "Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult." Born in Regina, Saskatchewan, the son of a Canadian Mounted Policeman, Nielsen spent his earliest years living near the Arctic Circle, and later served as an aerial gunner in the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Despite brothers Marlon, Shawn, and Keenan having starred in/wrote the first two movies, they were not involved in Scary Movie 3. This is apparent in the change of comedy style from the second to the third. Scary Movie 2 had more crude comedy and followed the Wayans Brothers' comedy. Scary Movie 3 used Leslie Nielson's comedy style. This said style can ... be seen in the Naked Gun Series and the movie Airplane!
