I know Liam Neeson is 73 in the new "Naked Gun," but Leslie Nielsen was 72 when "Wrongfully Accused" was released, and he still very much had it.

#4: I find the "Mac is carrying a molotov at the end" theory really silly. Why? He's literally been shown drinking booze throughout the entire film. "But he didn't have it with him before." He didn't have a blanket that he's wearing with him before either. And he was about to take a swig.

DawnLike - 16x16 Universal Rogue-like tileset v1.81 Dawnlike all started in the fall of 2013 as an idea. A crazy, ambitious idea called DawnHack. I had recently played NetHack, but was let down with the graphics. It was then that I decided I would make...

It uses DrawnLike, a free to use tileset

That's the scan that is available as a bonus extra with 15/20th anniversary editions of the game.

Yes, the main framework is The Fugitive.
What Wrongfully Accused has on all those other films is it's written & directed by the regular ZAZ collaborator Pat Proft (co-writer on Nake Gun and Hot Shots).

When’s the last time you played these two? Available on DOS and Amiga, probably others.

"Wrongfully Accused" is very underrated. I think it's one of the better Leslie Nielsen movies. Because it has both shit like this πŸ‘†, and the less cartoony traditional ZAZ-style dialog. That includes an all-timer "Your lies are like bananas. They come in big yellow bunches." πŸ˜‚

Now you will never be able to watch The Fugitive without smiling.

Click it and a cutlass wielding monkey burns out of the banner!

Coming with greets this morning (hello!), quite possibly the greatest game icon ever coded.

Commodore Amiga game icons would often have two states, unclicked and clicked. And here, with Lucasfilms' The Secret of Monkey Island, we see how creative some programmers and artists could get with them.

#3: Indeed during the shot of the open door near the end no blue coat is visible, even though Childs was standing next to it earlier. But it's only a continuity goof. The state of the set matches the one seen much earlier in the film *exactly*. Here it is in order of appearance:

It's one of many possibilities, and the only certain thing is we don't know, and we weren't meant to know.

Um, no. Both of them could be human, but doomed to die. That is absolutely a possibility.

#2: Palmer does have light reflecting in his eyes. It's in the shots where he's looking up, and that includes the blood test sequence.

Ok, starting a John Carpenter's The Thing fan theory debunk thread, mostly so I can pull them up on my phone when I need to.

#1: Childs has visible breath. It's just not as pronounced as Mac's.

Yep. Even though it was the best selling Troika game by a fairly large margin (200k units vs 128k of Temple or 72k of Bloodlines).

It's the same as most other games. Microsoft could have made a remake *right now*, if they wanted to. They don't need to license the code or assets from the Troika team, as many remakes/remasters have been done without access to those things.
