Wrongfully Accused | comment |
Wrongfully Accused is a 1998 parody film of the joke-a-minute (though really it's more like every 10 to 20 seconds) clinic of comedy written and directed by longtime Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker collaborator Pat Proft and starring Leslie Nielsen.The frame parody is built around the 1993 version of The Fugitive centering on renowned concert violinist, Ryan Harrison (Nielsen) in pursuit of the one-armed, one-legged and one-eyed man who killed his lover's husband (Michael York) after being framed for the murder. Richard Crenna's delightful parody of Tommy Lee Jones' fast-talking federal marshal is probably the highlight of the movie, with many of the best lines.However, The Fugitive is hardly the only thing that gets parodied here. Particularly notable targets include Mission Impossible, Titanic, Braveheart, Riverdance, Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games, Mentos commercials, Baywatch, Star Wars, Fatal Attraction, The Usual Suspects and even North By Northwest and Casablanca, among many others. | |

Actor Allusion | |
Wrongfully Accused / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: At one point, Harrison jumps on a bicycle with the seat missing. This is exactly what Harrison's actor Leslie Nielsen mentioned as Lt. Frank Drebin in The Naked Gun 2½. While trying to hack the computer, Harrison drops a fart noisemaker, but catches it, and makes the fart noise. Leslie Nielsen would carry one around in his pocket and squeeze it at random, often in elevators. | |

Credits Gag | |
Wrongfully Accused / int_4af55b78 | comment |
Credits Gag: Occurs almost immediately, with "Leslie Nielsen is Leslie Nielsen."note Despite actually playing a character named Ryan Harrison. The jokes don't stop even after the film is finished: After the "Boom Operator" (a real job operating the boom microphone) are listed a "Pow Operator" and "Kablam Operator". The Negative Cutter (who edits the film negative to match the final print) is followed by "Very Up and Positive" Cutter. Also appearing later on is a restaurant menu of entrees. Towards the end of the credits, a disclaimer scrolls up that reads "NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE" and then a bunch of names rapidly scroll up the screen as Unreadably Fast Text before continuing at a normal speed. | |

Dramatic Shattering: After Ryan exits the bait shop, John Walsh pieces together the string of lies that Ryan created, which he made using various items and signs in the bait shop. John drops his coffee in slow motion, which shatters on the floor, in a nod to The Usual Suspects. However, true to a parody flick, John also drops a doughnut, an egg, and a water balloon. | |

Major Injury Underreaction: A staple of the genre, but especially prominent in Goodhue's murder scene - he reacts to multiple gunshot wounds with a simple "Ouch!" and exasperatedly asking if his killer is "quite finished." Halfway through, the killer shoots a small bandage Goodhue tries to use out of his hand. | |

Location Theme Naming | |
Wrongfully Accused / int_9f7c2eb7 | comment |
Location Theme Naming: Many character names are based in cities in Pat Proft's native Minnesota (Cass Lake, Fergus Falls, Orono, Bagley, Fridley), a twofer in the case of Hibbing Goodhue (the former a city, the latter a county). | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Obtusely parodied during the climax as Ryan is able to seat a truckload of people, wash the windshield, change a van's tire and check its pressure at a normal pace all while being shot at a very close range by several terrorists. | |

Failed Attempt at Drama | |
Wrongfully Accused / int_d9563969 | comment |
Failed Attempt at Drama: In the scene parodying the famous "storm drain dive" from The Fugitive, Ryan is caught between a raging waterfall and being apprehended by the marshall. He shouts that he's not going back to prison ("wherever it is") and makes for a dive - only to slam his head on the ceiling of the pipe he's standing in. Disoriented, he simply flops over the edge instead. | |
