VHS. Wrongfully Accused (1998). The VHS release of the Leslie Nielsen spoof comedy. Standard VHS case with a black cover. Leslie Nielsen at the center. White-haired, wide-eyed expression of alarm, wearing a brown jacket, pressed flat against the front of a speeding yellow locomotive (numbered 6408), arms spread. "LESLIE NIELSEN is" in white text at the top. "WRONGFULLY ACCUSED" in massive red block lettering. Pre-Viewed $14.99 sticker at the lower right. A classic Nielsen slapstick setup on the cover. Wrongfully Accused (1998) was a Leslie Nielsen spoof comedy that parodied The Fugitive, along with dozens of other films. Nielsen played a concert violinist framed for murder who goes on the run to prove his innocence. By 1998, Nielsen had been the undisputed king of spoof comedy for nearly two decades. From Airplane! in 1980 through the Naked Gun trilogy, he perfected the art of deadpan delivery in the most absurd situations. The cover image of Nielsen plastered against a speeding train is a perfect visual gag. Late-'90s spoof comedies on VHS are nostalgic reminders of a genre that Nielsen practically invented. Don't call me Shirley. VHS tape. Pre-owned. See photos for condition.
