15 PERFECT Scenes In Otherwise Disappointing Movies

15. Scary Movie 4 - United Nations

Spoof movies are usually terrible and films like The Naked Gun Trilogy, Airplane! and the first and third instalments of the Scary Movie franchise are ultra-rarities.

As one would expect, this ridiculously silly fourth Scary Movie is another dud and it spoofs War of the Worlds, The Grudge, Saw and The Village with little success.

As such, it's a delightful surprise when the film delivers a genuinely hysterical scene in its second half. In this scene, the bizarre American President, played by the late, great Leslie Nielsen, gives a talk to the United Nations about the unfolding alien invasion.

First, he tells racist jokes instead of actually discussing the invasion and then, while displaying an alien gun he hopes can be used against the aliens, he ends up rendering himself and everyone else in the room nude.

Sure, it's very silly, but it was, for once, really funny and displays by far the best comedic writing in the film, while Leslie Nielsen, with his hilariously deadpan performance, proves he never lost any of his comedic genius with age. His ability to deliver hilariously silly lines with a completely straight face remains unparalleled.
