Marshal "Dick" Dix is a master of getting himself in awkward situations.He is told that the President of the United States of America, Bill Clinton, has been cloned.He is then sent to moon base called Vegan to safe the situation.He is helped by the attractive Cassandra Menage.2001: A Space Travesty (2000) is directed by Allan A. Goldstein.The film parodies 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars and so on.Leslie Nielsen is very funny as Dix.Ophélie Winter is fantastic as Menage.Peter Egan is very good as Dr. Griffin Pratt.Damian Mason does terrific job as Clinton.Ezio Greggio is great as Capt. Valentino DiPasquale.Michel Perron gives a great portrayal of Luciano Pavarotti.Same thing with Teresa Barnwell as Hillary Clinton.Recently we lost this great comedian, Leslie Nielsen.He could make any film slightly bit better.Without him this would be a much worse film.Many people call this a total turkey, but I'm not one of those people.It made me laugh a few times watching Leslie causing a riot in outer space and on Earth.The terrorist hostage situation in the beginning reminds a bit of The Naked Gun.And it's quite hilarious when he makes a mess at the villain's office, destroying his Vegan model and spreads paint all over the place.The Three Tenors at the end were hilarious.Leslie Nielsen, I raise my hat to thee.
