- A lot of people debate when the end of the movie parody started. Doug thinks it's with THIS film.
Spy Hard is a 1996 American spy parody film starring Leslie Nielsen (who also executive produced) and Nicollette Sheridan, parodying James Bond and other action films. The introduction to the film is sung by comedy artist "Weird Al" Yankovic, and it was the first film to be written by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer who later went on to write and direct parody films such as Date Movie, Disaster Movie, and Meet the Spartans. The film's title is a parody of Die Hard. The film was directed by Rick Friedberg who produced with Doug Draizin and Jeffrey Konvitz.

What did everyone think of Spy Hard? Is this the worst parody movie?
It has its moments, but is watchable thanks to Leslie Nielsen and Weird Al's parody theme song.
Love your content guys 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Never saw it. Huge Leslie Neilsen fan tho, may he RIP
"DISNEYCEMBER 2023 blog day 28 goes into movie parodies with 1996's "Spy hard" Staring the Late Leslie Nielson (R.I.P) Look to be honest I know the late Leslie Nielson was funny & a great actor back in the 90's is anybody's way to say this is what starting the movie parodies well to that I say you are so right with all of the movie parodies back in the day different films like to make fun of every film ever made just ask the "Scary movie series" for example it's like a "S.N.L" Skirt on loads of ideas that keeps going like the eligizier bunny (you see where I going with this right ?) Bottom line if anybody wanna see loads of movie parodies just watch "S.N.L" or go rent the entire Late Leslie Nielson video library."
Honestly, I’ll bear through anything with a Weird Al cameo
Another movie which would benefit from a full Nostalgia Critic review. Also, rest in peace, Leslie Nielsen, thank you for making us laugh through your long career.
On his headstone is written "Let er Rip" because he loved a good fart joke
Interesting to note that before Airplane The Movie, Leslie was best known for his dramatic roles. And when he played the part, he really played the part. His protagonists roles were heroic as it could get without coming off of a campy and when playing the antagonist. . .hoo-boy. A lot of 'hate sink' characters there. When he switched to more comedy he showed just how versatile he was. He could play any role given him with ease.
@@chadharger9323 I don’t know which is worse his post Naked Gun comedies era or his dramatic Irwin Allen pictures. One of his best serious roles Forbidden Planet.
Love or Hate it,
Leslie Nielson is certainly a comedic king
Very True! I dont hate Spy Hard, its far from the best though... Much as I also adore Mel Brooks, Dracula - Dead and Loving it was one of his weakest! I still like it... But ...
Nielson and Brooks - Absolute Legends!
100%
SO TRUE!
imagine going back in time 10 years ago to show people this is an actual Disneycember video lol
in ten more years your grandma is gonna be owned by disney
@@RedUmbre but she's long dead, well actually Disney buying corpses sounds about right
Bob Iger is actually a big fan of Disneycember which is the reason he keeps buying everything.
This movie was made by Hollywood Studios, so it wasn't bought by Disney but instead owned by Disney from the beggining. Even the central headquarters from the movie are in the Team Disney Building, and the seven dwarfs are visible as part of a joke.
But I do admit it's weird to see this film get a Disneycember review even if it was made by Disney.
@@pass_yup. Your grandma is going to be wearing an eye patch the next time they reboot Pirates. They probably already own a complete Depp skeleton.
The weird al intro still can't be touched.😂
This may not be the most memorable spoof film, but you can't deny that Leslie Nielsen was at least trying to be funny. Also, Weird Al's theme song is legitimately hilarious.
Heck he even did the Michael Jackson
Hair on fire joke.😂
One thing about Leslie Nielsen is no matter the quality of the material they gave him, he always gave it his all and the man kept acting his heart out all the way until the end.
Genuinely miss having him around.
When my local Hollywood Video went under (god I'm old) I bought Spy Hard on DVD just for that for a buck. Worth every penny.
@@Lowkeylie he even did scary movie
3 and superhero movie.
He also did the same schtick in
Commercials like Aflac.
If nothing else I at least remembered that part
I like the Weird Al and title sequence that parodies various Bond themes, with the Thunderball influence being very visible.
We need a proper review of this classic. Theme is the best. The fact al insisted to do it for real and he was able to hold the note is amazing
It's funny how one of the biggest writers of these bad 2000s parody films was Craig Mazin. The same guy who went on to write Chernobyl and The Last of Us. Just goes to show that if you keep trying and take things VERY seriously, you might end up with a hit.
I suppose he just wasn't cut out for comedy, but found his niche in drama.
Got a feeling that the writers of Airplane (1980) didn't take it seriously despite it being a beloved classic. The fact is certain artists excel at different things. Mazin was just in the wrong genre. Just like when Jackie Chan was initially forced to emulate Bruce Lee & Charles Bronson by Hong Kong & Hollywood studios respectively.
This film was actually co-written by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer (the former being the director’s son) who would go on to write and direct the god-awful “Movie” movies, beginning with Date Movie
Didn't they actually begin with Scary Movie?
@@mackfarlainethebarenakedau5113 They actually didn’t have anything to do with it; it was written by Shawn and Marlon Wayans and two other guys. What happened was Friedberg and Seltzer had written a similar script titled “Scream If You Know What I Did Last Halloween” but the studio decided to film the Wayans’ script instead and just gave Friedberg and Seltzer writing credit for some reason
@@leprechaunfarmer4081 The more you know.
Nepotism, thy name is Seltzer.
@@mackfarlainethebarenakedau5113 as a fan of the first 2 Scary Movies, Date Movie and on were knock off wannabe parody movies... the original Talent from Scary Movie had nothing to do with the Disaster that came after
I will give props to the theme to the movie, performed by Weird Al Yankovic
Came down here to say this!
I really like that this Disneycember is including a lot of movies I never would’ve heard of otherwise.
To quote Leslie Nielsen in one of my favorite SNL monologues: "I am a serious actor eho says serious things in a serious way, and for some reason people laugh"
Leslie Nielsen back flipping out of the hotel window was pretty great 😂
Wrongfully Accused is a far better example of trying to do a spoof movie with Leslie Nielsen where it's parodies of numerous movies and shows and had far better hilarious moments in it, mostly helped by the fact that Pat Proft who worked with him on the Naked Gun movies being the director, it wasn't a classic on the level of Naked Gun but it certainly understood its' assignment more than Spy Hard did.
Had a scene so good, the Simpsons Movie stole it. Plus, the train hiding behind a tree to chase him down is one of the most underrated jokes ever.
I lost it at so many stupid random jokes in that movie, The elevator moving diagonally for example. But the one that still gets me and lives rent free in my head is "I'm as sure of that as I'm sure that's a giant anaconda." They just did the DUMB comedy so well in that.
Your dog has a surprised look on his face…
That’s because you looking at his butt.
Ah… well he certainly won’t like that treat I just fed to him.
Wrongfully accused is gold.
To be fair WA came out a fair bit later and the style is not necessarily so much better as it is different. I felt that SH was going for a bigger audience with a more family friendly take which means very clearly articulated jokes, basic slapstick stuff and funny situations and visuals that even children can appreciate whereas SH had a slightly more mature feel with more daring innuendo, adult themes and more subtle popular culture or cultural references.
The sad thing is, this is technically the best Friedberg and Seltzer film. Which isn’t saying much but unlike their other “spoof” films, at least this one is WATCHABLE.
I’m surprised that Doug didn’t mention that Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the duo who “wrote” and directed those God awful parody movies (e.g. “Date Movie”, “Epic Movie”, “Meet the Spartans”, etc.), co-wrote “Spy Hard”. The parody genre going down with this movie isn’t a coincidence. Also, the director of “Spy Hard”, Rick Friedberg, is Jason Friedberg’s father.
Oh fuck, a nepo-baby.
Oh yeah. It's all coming together.
i remember the tagline for Epic Movie was like "2 of the 7 writers from Scary Movie".... i would joke that the other 5 were the real talent.
Oh god I hate those writers
@@questworldiangreenknight7455 i remember my friend and i were so dissapointed in the movie (and we were huge Scary Movie fans) that we played a drinking game for Date Movie....everytime a failed joke happened we drink....we ran out of everything we were drinking LOL (the only joke i remember legit laughing at was the cat shitting on the toilet, but even then that wasnt any quality
The thing about Parody movies is always when they're done well they can be some of the funniest comedies but when done bad there almost painful to watch
I loved this movie as a kid. Him fasting on the guy in the chair made me laugh so hard. Simpler times
You know, since Disney owns Fox, Doug COULD review Titanic as a Disneycember video. The distribution rights are shared by Fox and Paramount. Hell I'm honestly surprised he didn't do a Nostalgia Critic episode on the Cameron film last year since it was the 25th anniversary of the film. Would love to hear his thoughts on it. It's honestly one of my top 3 favorite films of all time. It's truly the very best of film making, even if it doesn't get everything entirely right.
I honestly agree! Hope he considers looking into it for a future episode maybe
I’m waiting on a FULL Nostalgia Critic review! This is a classic film that needs to be talked about, especially with all the classic scenes people parody BECAUSE this movie is so popular
@@RagamuffinBabyDoll This might be extra corny, but I hardly ever think of those scenes when it comes to the film. I tend to think of Thomas Andrews and his lines far before any of the typical corny moments. "The pumps buy you time...But minutes only...from this moment on no matter what we do...Titanic will founder....She's made of iron sir, I assure you she can. And she will. It is a mathematical certainty...An hour. Two at most." his whole run down hits so hard. Victor Garber knocked it out of the park; he's so expressive he was able to convey what Thomas must've been feeling during those two hours just through his facial expressions and eyes alone. That scene where he looks at his pocket watch on deck, and the LOOK in his eyes when Rose confronts him at he grand staircase are HAUNTING. He just looks absolutely petrified, terrified, yet just not entirely there either. Like he's dissociating.
He must have had so much guilt for something that wasn't even his fault...it makes sense since he was her architect, but still. If he had survived, I sure as hell hope he wouldn't be blamed for other's stupidity. Not to mention, the ship held out for far longer than what he initially thought in real life; it was thought the ship had a long gash all along the bow, hence why he initially thought she only had about an hour. But if this was true, she would've sunk in minutes.
Titanic sank in about 2 hours and 40 minutes, about the run time of an average film in fact. Her ability to stay afloat for as long as she did, is a testament to her builders and designers. Of those aboard, including Thomas Andrews, no one survived, and as a matter of fact, the blueprints for the RMS Titanic herself, are lost to time. Which is such a shame to think about. Oceanliner always looked so much better to me compared to the big fcking bulky cruise ships of the modern era. Sorry for my essay I fcking love this movie and that ship.
@@TheRibottoStudios Love your enthusiasm for this film!
Lol, can you believe I still haven't seen it? I'm 46, btw, so I was definitely around when it hit the theaters.
No need to be gentle with the spoilers, btw. I have a pretty good idea of what happens to the boat at the end. 🤣
I remember really liking this movie the first time, but any subsequent rewatch I did of it came with exponential diminishing returns in laughter. I feel like my first watch was carried on by hype and then the next ones were pushed down by a more critical view.
That being said, there are a few jokes in it that still work, and the intro with Weird Al is fantastic, so I cannot hate this movie the way I do with stuff like Disaster movie, which has never managed to get even one laugh out of me.
The song weird al did for this was pretty cool
Personally I really love this movie, maybe because I kinda grew up with it so I’m biased or whatever. But every time I watch it I have a damn good time and that opening is so catchy
This was one of the last parody movies that I really liked. Still quote it to this day.
I actually really like this one. Not one of the better parodies but I laughed alot
I’m glad you’re reviewing Hollywood Pictures for Disneycember,it really made me miss how Disney used to have Hollywood Pictures(along with Touchstone Pictures) to release films to both younger and older/mature audiences back before they made a really dumb,desperate move in 2019 by acquiring 20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures from Fox and the Murdoch family. Disney should’ve never given up on Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures and kept it alive instead of abandoning it after the failure of 2015’s Strange Magic and for their purchase of 20th Century Studios in 2019. Even Disney bought Fox,I still consider 20th Century Studios to be non-canon as part of Disney(buying Star Wars and Marvel is fine,even if Disney mistreated the former with a horrible sequel trilogy in the mid-to-late 2010’s,but buying 20th Century-Fox was a stupid,expensive idea and dumb move to get in on blockbuster content.) I really miss Hollywood Pictures(along with Touchstone Pictures) and Miramax is no longer part of Disney,but now almost part of Paramount Global now.
The problem with a lot of parody movies is that they try to poke fun at everything and everyone all at once rather than poking fun at the movie they're parodying. The original Scary Movie, despite it lampooning a lot of trends and memes of the time, was still fundamentally a Scream parody. The second one while also poking fun at a lot of other movies, was still mostly a parody of The Haunting. The rest of the series, however, is exactly what modern parodies have become.
I'd say you found the core problem right there. Look at that scene at the end of this video where they "spoof" Speed AND E.T. within seconds of each other,,, in a SPY parody... WHY?!
This being a Disney movie is more surprising to me than the old Mario movie.
I don’t think this really started the downfall of parody movies, I found it tolerable and it was still entertaining. I feel Scary Movie started the downfall of parody films, and then Jason and Aaron killed the whole genre with Epic Movie and Meet the Spartans!
I concur
@@jamesread669 I still take Spy Hard over any of those 2000s parody movies which are very outdated parodies of 300 or Pirates of the Caribbean!
I would have to agree - Scary Movie was Good, but everything after repeated the same tired jokes...
There are some gold in other Scary movies too. I do not remember which one it was but it parodied War Of The Worlds. Who couldn't find the scene with Michael Jackson funny, with him getting vaporised by the aliens and only thing left behind was his plastic surgery nose. That whole scene was, to me, very funny. 😂
@@Phoenix2312 scary movie’s success was a fluke, because it was spoofing popular horror movies, which hasn’t been done at that time in spoof movies.
It was no Naked Gun, but Leslie Nielsen still makes it funny. And Weird Al’s song is awesome.
The best thing about the movie is Weird Al's opening to it.
The only joke I remember laughing at was the “We go back a long way.” One.
Give Leslie neilson credit he tried.
R.i.P.
YES!!! Leslie Nilson. I loved that guy and all of his movies.
The thing I'll always remember is Disney actually promoted this film in one of their old Disney Adventures magazine (remember those?)... like on the front cover! It's weird to me because I didn't see this film until years later and realized how many adult jokes there are.
That same issue has an article about the first Mission: Impossible movie. Like, what kid was going to the movies to see these? 😆
To be fair, there's plenty of adult jokes in kids content. Kids can't actually understand it at all. So, it's not really as much of an issue as adults make it out to be.

This year's Disneycember is certainly educational when learning something new.
Honestly, all the scenes you showed made me want to watch the movie, and if you qualify Scary Movie as the downfall of parody movies then we have different tastes...
IMO, the first two Scary Movies are pretty decent. They keep their focus on their specific genres, the first being a parody of slasher films, the second being a parody of haunted house films. However, Scary Movie did kick off the "Movie" genre, and 90% of those are pure trash. They have no focus, relying entirely on pop culture to carry the day. So was Scary Movie bad? No, but it did give birth to the movies that were bad enough to completely ruin the parody genre.
One and two are the best, and each following sequel gets worse, but I do watch the whole saga once in a while, I do skip all the other nonsense like Epic Movie or Vampire s9cks @@imjango1052
@@imjango1052 I was talking to my partner about Scary Movie recently.
Basically the reason the first 2 work well when the others don't is because they are a complete story, and the references add to the scene or the plot rather than being for the sake of a reference.
Vampires Suck was also a deecnt one because of that.
@@almightyk11 actually enjoyed Vampires Suck and i absolutely hate the "movie" franchise (Scary Movie 1 and 2 dont count in my book, those had the real creative writers)... i went in to hate watch Vampire Suck and found myself actually finding some real jokes compared to Epic or Disaster Movie BS
"This is for my girl!"
"This is for my girl too!"
"I wasn't even in My Girl 2"
"We don't care!"
I remember really liking the opening song with Weird Al and that put me in a good mood for the film.
It’s sad that Leslie Nielsen was always dragged into these films. He has genuine talent as a comedic actor, but most people didn’t know how to write good parody. So, this star gets wasted on a flop and less people see him in the same light compared to great films like airplane or naked gun.
Just saddening for him.
Police squad is where he was
at his best.
Really stupid but on purpose
and played completely straight.
I keep getting this mixed up with “Wrongfully Accused.” The scene in that movie where the train is stalking Leslie, hiding behind trees, kills me every time. 😂
While the movie is only so-so, the theme song by Weird Al is awesome!
I really miss these spoof movies. I just love the slapstick, random stuff and just stupidity where I can just turn my brain off and enjoy it. Though we really underrate just how HARD these movies are to make. To write jokes that have to be funny, but also clever enough not to be just total randomness, is extremely hard, especially if you gotta put them into a whole movie.
I don't think parody is dead. The wrong films just got the exposure. Films like Walk Hard, Zoolander, Tropic Thunder, and Black Dynamite prove parody wasn't dead, it's just not getting as much love and care as it should. At least last year's Weird: The Al Yankovic Story was good, and I have heard mostly good things from Outlaw Johnny Black. Parody will be back.
He can hold his breath for a long time.
While they aren't his best works, I still love Spy Hard, Dead and Loving it, Wrongfully Accused, and 2001: A Space Travesty mainly because I can tell that Leslie is just loving to get to act in all these wacky and weird movies.
The name of this movie is Spy Hard
They call it Spy Hard
You're watching Spy Hard
It's the theme from Spy Haaaaaaaaaaaard!
Well, the bad Movie-movies did start here when you consider the fact that Seltzer and Fiendberg worked on the script.
Oh, and it was directed by Jason Fiendberg's father.
I'm a huge Wierd Al fan, so naturally I remember this movie for the song he did at the beginning; and that joke reference to Thunder Ball, at the end of the song, was especially funny.
I actually met Weird Al this year at his concert. I got a photo with him and his autograph
"Imagine a comedian who just does one liners." Enter Jimmy Carr
Now you have to do National Lampoons Loaded Weapon 1, Doug. It's a spoof on all the action films of the 80s and 90s while even spoofing other spoofs. There's a couple of great jokes directed at Hot Shots. It even has Charlie Sheen appear in the film. The fact that it was one of Samuel L Jackson's first films with a main role makes it a true time capsule of the early 90s. The Die Hard reference is also something that I haven't seen another spoof ever do using the actual actor to the film they are spoofing. The cast is also full of very talented actors like Emilio Estevez, Whoopi Goldberg, Tim Curry, Dennis Leary, William Shatner, Jon Lovitz, and the late Phil Hartman.
*pointing a gun at agent WD40*
"I'm going to make you look like swiss cheese."
"WD40: "That's no gouda."
XD
Say what you want. I love this movie. It's one of the best "no brainers" after "The Naked Gun" movies.
I remember watching the first naked gun movie
That's a solid A-Team in-joke, but it does fall flat if you didn't actually watch the show. B.A. Baracus is DEATHLY afraid of flying, to the point where he had to be knocked out just to get him into a plane.
I loved this movie. It was funny as hell like Hotshots & Hotshots deux, wrongly executed, loaded guns and on and on. Loved these movies
I agree with Leonard Maltin on this one, the reason to watch the movie is for Weird Al's song at the beginning, after that it's all downhill.
Weird Al' Yankovik wrote the intro song. That's all I know of this movie

Loved Spy Hard growing up. One of my favorite jokes was "Sisters! Make 'em Holey!" (Nuns with machine guns)😂.
Mr. T's A-Team character hated flying.
Jason Friedberg is a true Nepo baby
Never heard of this movie but will love the review! You're the BEST doug!
You could do a month of Leslie Nielsen films. I'd be interested to see you do one on Dracula Dead and Loving it.
It's a perfect movie to fall asleep to
All I remember is Leslie Nielsen's arm stretching in the cliff scene at 6:34 from the commercials, and that's it.
I did like the Hulk Hogan cameo. The idea that Dr. Joyce Brothers could take down what the Hulkster couldn't is funny to me.
The real joke is that hogan put someone over for once
I feel like the only things I remembered about this, was the jet with the billboard and that Weird Al did the theme song...
The joke of Mr T is he hated flying in the A-Team show so its funny to see him piloting a plane in this movie. He always had to be knocked out or hypnotized for them to get him in a plane on the show. They referenced that in the A-Team reboot movie too. It's a deep cut joke but still funny!
Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer wrote the original script but Leslie told Rick Fredberg he would accept the project only if he was in charge of the rewrite. Then, the studio asked the writers to include spoofs on other movies although it was supposed to be a James Bond spoof. The director left the movie after the shooting and did not agree with the editing decisions.
Ironically, Dick Chudnow, the co-writer, was Jim Abrahams' best friend during the 70s. Abrahams and the Zucker brothers asked him to join them to create a comedy troupe. Chudnow was the one who found the name Kernel Sanders' Kentucky Fried Theater.
Spy hard was hilarious come on.
Crazy how many references to other films are packed in here
@@alexmapp5444 Not exactly. Some of them were focused on the genre, like Student Bodies (slashers) and Spaceballs (sci-fi), but the jokes were more about why the genre was so popular at the time by making fun of the cliches or even improving some tropes, instead of being 1 hour of referencing everything the audience knows and thinking this is the funniest thing in the world.
I feel this would make for a good nostalgia critic month.

golden age of spoof style farce on Anime.
......it's been 17 years. damn.

My guess is Once Upon a Studio since it's obvious for Disney's 100 Anniversary.
@@mst3k3000 that would make more sense
@@andrewlevin6331 Of course
I miss Leslie Nielsen. I used to buy, rent anything i saw he was in i remember being so upset when i heard he passed away.
Nelson had a crazy career and an epic comedy one later in that career! Naked Gun haha another “classic”. However I can’t remember which one I’m rendering the most haha
I think this is one of the better parody movies for sure. I saw this before Naked gun movies. + what do you think of Wrongfully accused (1998)?
I loved all these Leslie Nielsen silly movies. They were just funny with no deeper meaning. And I love funny. When I want deeper meaning, I watch other movies. But this movie just did what I wanted it to: Make me laugh.
Doesn't help that this was Seltzerberg's first movie! Then 10 years later, we got Date Move!
In 2026 Doug will find a way of reviewing Batman Beyond for Disneycember
I think the Mr. T appearance was in reference to the A-team with the joke being that his character hated flying (as he always had to be knocked out to get on a plane-or chopper), and now here he was flying one.
I guess to get some jokes here you have to cast a wide net.

I remember this movie airing on TV once, and laughing at it with my dad.
Spy Hard is one of the funniest movies I've ever watched in my life.
I really think Scary Movie was the ultimate downfall of parody films because of it's sheer popularity. I really do believe that something becoming obscenely popular for awhile does ultimately cause the most damage, since the popularity encourages more awful cash-grabbing copycats.
I'd even go so far as to say that something being "good" or "bad" plays a smaller role than how popular something gets. The minions took over family movies for awhile and kinda changed side characters during it's run, as an example.
The criticisms of this movie is 100% valid (they did get lazy with writing), but I really do think everything simply comes down to popularity since popularity controls most of the business in Hollywood.
Will definitely admit; Leslie Nielsen could always entertain me just due to sheer pleasant memories of watching his movies with my folks. RIP Leslie Nielsen.

And a weird videogame movie for me
In our video rental stores they had the audacity to label this as Naked Gun 4
I'll admit, I have a real soft spot for this film. I won't pretend it's any good, but that scene where he uses his legs to try and stop the bus and later cuts to them being little nubs always made me laugh like crazy.
This and Dracula Dead and Loving it are my favorite Leslie movies still to this day.
And NO I have not seen Airplane or Naked Gun to completion
the sound track is great.
Spy Hard can be funny, but it does have lots of problems with it. The biggest is that 2 of the writers are the writers that would make most of the bad spoofs later.
