More Fun Facts:

Bob and Harvey Weinstein helped produce all the Scary Movies and Superhero Movie Robert K. Weiss is one of the producers of Superhero Movie - he also produced every Naked Gun film and Scary Movie 3 and 4 David Zucker is one of the producers of Superhero Movie David Zucker directed and co-wrote the first 2 Naked Gun films, and co-directed and co-wrote Airplane! with Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker Leslie Nielsen is an experienced parody legend ^ BTW, the name is spelled N-I-E-L-S-E-N, not Neilsen, Nielson, or Neilson To the people who diss Date/Epic/Spartans because of Friedberg/Seltzer and praise Scary Movie 1 and 2 because of the Wayans: Friedberg and Seltzer co-wrote Scary Movie

Summary: Scary Movie 1 and 2 are basically its own crew [Wayans], Scary Movie 3 and 4 and Superhero Movie (along with Airplane! and The Naked Gun) are basically its own crew [ZAZ, and later with Mazin], and Date/Epic/Spartans are basically its own crew [Friedberg/Seltzer]. So stop grouping them together as "those stupid spoofs" - they are still independently all professional movies made by 3 different crews

It is very similar to Scary Movie and it feels like Scary Movie 5 with out Anna Faris (as Cindy). But No it is not.
