Die römische Kanone

This is probably one of the worst comedies ever made...not even Leslie Nielsen is able to turn 'SPQR 2000 e 1/2 anni fa' into a movie worth watching. You're waiting two hours for the first good joke, but after one hour you want the film to end, because it's so bad. I'm so glad I watched this one on TV, so I could turn it off whenever I wanted...if I watched it in a movie theater, it would've been a walk-out without any doubt. So if you find this one in your TV program...don't watch it, unless you like to be tortured!

When I was a kid I always assumed that this movie is part of the "Naked Gun" films because it's called "The Roman Gun" in Germany. And as a kid it seemed quite funny to me but when I watched it today I realized how bad it actually is! The jokes are few and childish making "S.P.Q.R. 2000 e 1/2 anni fa" totally boring. The only funny things about it are Leslie Nielsen's (who has very little screen time) usual look on his face and the last 5 minutes. The rest is just wasted time. I saw the German 95 min. long version. I can't believe how somebody would be able to sit through the Italian 193 min. version.
