Hello badmovies fellows, this is me, just fifteen years later!

I managed to identify it a while ago, so I thought I should drop by and let you know, just to find that alyxstarr had cracked the case! It is indeed "Crime of Crimes", starring (or not that much actually :D) David Carradine!

Thank you alyxstarr and everyone trying to find this one!  :cheers:

So, I guess now this may be considered solved!

Speaking of accents...when movies based on/in Philly and everyone talks like they're from New York or Baltimore.

SUPERHERO MOVIE (2008):
Between TROMEO & JULIET and DAWN OF THE DEAD 'O4, James Gunn wrote and co-starred in a funny and interesting superhero comedy called THE SPECIALS, directed by a guy named Craig Mazin. Presumably based on the charm of THE SPECIALS, Mazin later got to direct this Zucker Bros-style parody mash-up in the proud [sic] tradition of SCARY MOVIE, EPIC MOVIE, NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE, et al. In the absence of Gunn's contributions, however, SUPERHERO MOVIE is no SPECIALS, and Mazin never directed again. (He did co-write the two HANGOVER sequels and some later SCARY MOVIE entries.)

Essentially this has the plot of the Raimi SPIDER-MAN movies with random appearances by some members of the X-Men and Fantastic Four sprinkled in recklessly. It does have a stacked cast of funny actors, including Leslie Nielsen (of course) in the 'Uncle Ben' role, Nielsen's AIRPLANE! co-star Robert Hays, Regina Hall (who probably paid off a couple mortgages with all these dumb comedies), Tracy Morgan, Jeffrey Tambor, a young Kevin Hart (in a mostly thankless role), and relatively serious actor Keith David, who gets to be dryly funny (in the old school Nielsen tradition) in a couple of brief scenes. Pamela Anderson (who stars in this year's NAKED GUN reboot) appears and disappears as the Invisible Woman and Craig Bierko is visible in 2-3 shots as Wolverine. Apparently most of his dialogue was cut and only one brief bit appears during the closing credits, and is so unfunny the mind reels at how dire the balance might be.

I admit that Madame and I laughed out loud multiple times, as we tend to do during these stoopid movies, but most of the comedy is derived from rather sadistic slapstick instead of any kind of character insight or clever reflections on the genre... ala the kind of thing Gunn brought to THE SPECIALS.

2.5/5
Oh yeah - Brent Spiner aka "Data" appears briefly in the film proper and then more extensively in  the closing credit outtakes, and his performance is startling similar to that of Trace Beaulieu as Dr. Clayton Forrester, only with a haircut.
