Line 2: A 1998 [[Leslie Nielsen]] movie written and directed by ZAZ protege Pat Proft, ''[[Wrongfully Accused]]'' is a classic example of the joke-a-minute (more like every 20 seconds) school of comedy. The frame parody is built around the 1993 version of ''[[The Fugitive (~~Film~~film)\|The Fugitive]]'' and [[Leslie Nielsen]]'s character's pursuit of the one-armed, one-legged and one-eyed man who killed his lover's husband. 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 (~~Film~~film)\|The Fugitive]]'' is hardly the only movie that gets parodied here. Particularly notable targets include the ''[[Mission: Impossible]]'', ''[[Titanic]]'', ''Lord of the Dance'', ''[[Braveheart]]'', Mentos commercials, ''[[Baywatch]]'', ''[[The Usual Suspects]]'' and even ''[[North Byby Northwest]]'' and ''[[Casablanca]]'', among many others. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== This film contains examples of the following tropes: ===~~ * [[The Cameo]]: John Walsh, long time host of ''[[~~Americas~~America's Most Wanted]]'', appears in the film though it isn't clear if he's playing as the America's Most Wanted host as he is seen in a backwoods bait and tackle shop.▼ ** The puppet Lambchop from ''[[Lamb ~~Chops~~Chop's Play Along]]'' for no real reason other than it's [[Rule of Funny\|supposed to be funny]]▼ ▲* [[The Cameo]]: John Walsh, long time host of ''[[Americas Most Wanted]]'', appears in the film though it isn't clear if he's playing as the America's Most Wanted host as he is seen in a backwoods bait and tackle shop. ▲** The puppet Lambchop from ''[[Lamb Chops Play Along]]'' for no real reason other than it's [[Rule of Funny\|supposed to be funny]] * [[Clear My Name]] * [[Criminal Doppelganger]]: Parodied. Ryan sees a "Wanted" poster of himself and rapidly draws black hair, glasses, a beard and a tiny hat over his image. Immediately, another man with black hair, glasses, moustache and tiny hat in the same building is arrested.
