The Makers of Naked Gun and Scary Movie bring comic book movie fans their own slapstick comedy: Superhero Movie.
Spoof movies have been around for a long time. Just ask Leslie Nielsen, the godfather of spoof movies with his Naked Gun franchise. Scary Movie updated the concept and since then we’ve seen Date Movie, Epic Movie and Meet the Spartans. Not wanting to leave any segment of the movie-going audience out, now comic book movie fans have…you guessed it, a spoof of their own in Superhero Movie.
The hero, Dragonfly, is a thinly veiled rip-off of Spider-Man, as is pretty much the entire trailer. But, don’t take my word for it, watch the trailer now:

Superhero Movie crashes into theaters March 28, 2008.
