2. Count Dracula
Played by Leslie Nielsen From Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995) It feels cheap mocking
Leslie Nielsen, over the years the man who was the captain of the good ship Poseidon has become a bit of a joke, which is sad because his work on
Police Squad and
The Naked Gun is some of the most fondly remembered comedy of the 80s and early 90s. He may have become an easy target, but theres no getting away from the cold hard fact that most of his work since the 90s has been complete and utter unadulterated shit. Most notably this Dracula spoof from comedy legend
Mel Brooks - yes, the man behind
The Producers,
Blazing Saddles and
Young Frankenstein is actually responsible for
Dracula: Dead and Loving It. Brooks hasnt made a film since and its not difficult to see why. Nielsen plays the titular count and the film attempts to parody the original tale of Dracula and some of the subsequent incarnations of Bram Stokers infamous character but fails spectacularly, almost making the current crop of herniatingly bad spoofs look funny. Well, maybe not
Scary Movie 4 Nothings that bad.
