1.
In this Canadian production, Leslie Nielsen sets out to do for 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY what he did for the police procedural in THE NAKED GUN. Aliens from the planet Vegan have replaced the U.S. President (modelled on Bill Clinton) with a clone, and the authorities call on International Security Force member Marshall "Dick" Dix (Leslie Nielsen) to head out into the stars and rescue him before all of the world's leaders meet a similar fate. On Vegan, Dix learns that the planet's denizens have learned English by watching television and speak in the voices of Hollywood stars. With the help of a sexy officer (Ophelie Winter) and a master of disguise (Ezzio Greggio), Dix attempts to restore the president to his rightful place and prevent any further interplanetary conflicts.

The Most Outer Spaced-Out Comedy Ever!
First there was Airplane! then came The Naked Gun series. This time Leslie Nielsen is even more far out than ever in 2001: A Space Travesty, a hilarious comedy that dares to spoof where no one's spoofed before: on another planet.
When the president of the United States is kidnapped by aliens and replaced with a clone, the police call on Marshal "Dick" Dix of the International Security Force to help rescue him - and quickly, before they clone the rest of the world's leaders.
With the fate of the world in his clumsy hands, Dix heads to the planet Vegan, a very strange place run by an evil doctor and inhabited by aliens who, having learned to speak English from watching television, all talk like different Hollywood movie stars. After engaging in some freaky lunar socializing, Dix joins forces with sexy officer Cassandre Menage and master of disguise Captain di Pasquale to rescue the saxophone playing president. They return to Washington D.C., and accomplish their mission of replacing the cloned president with the real president. Or do they?
