Movie Info
Pat Proft directed this satire on The Fugitive with a plot parody of the 1993 Harrison Ford movie, which in turn was inspired by the 1963-67 ABC television series with David Janssen. Violinist Ryan Harrison (Leslie Nielsen) romances the wife (Kelly Le Brock) of his benefactor (Michael York), a man murdered by mercenaries. Naturally, Ryan gets blamed. Headed for Death Row, he's on a bus involved in a train accident and escapes in order to locate the real killer -- a one-armed, one-legged,

The best gags pop up in the closing credits, which should tell you something about what precedes the finale.
Top CriticEven the audience at the free promotional screening was hard-pressed to find many genuine laughs in this purportedly comic abomination.
Beyond stupid.
A mind- numbingly awful motion picture that has a better chance of making a viewer physically ill than of provoking a genuine laugh.
Unfortunately, most of the jokes just aren't very funny.
There's something tired and rotten about this Fugitive send-up right from the start.
An understandably tired-looking Leslie Nielsen should seriously consider retirement from this tired genre.
If and when you go see it, don't go in with an expectation of seeing something cinematically superior, but do expect a good time.
I'd say it's worth a rent.
This film is strictly hit and miss.
Clearly, Pat Proft was wearing too many hats, and both his writing and his directing suffered for it.
Wait for the end credits -- the mindless nonsense interspersed between the cast and crew lists is off the wall.
