Repossessed (1990)

Leslie Nielsen film, a skit on Possessed of course, and parodying The Exorcist. A modern day Mother is possessed by the devil, and it is Nielsen's task in life as a priest to eliminate the problem. There are plenty of quick fire sight gags and one liners, but this film isn't up to the standard of much of Nielsen's other work; many of the jokes are just too laboured and predictable.

There is an early scene in which two bearded medical men are replaced by a similarly-dressed girl with matching beard.

A little later, Nielsen himself is turned into the Singing Nun.

Towards the end of the film, the possession imagery gets a little more intense. Nancy Aglet (Linda Blair) is being exorcised, but suddenly swaps bodies -- or is it just clothes? -- with Nielsen.

So this is Nancy in Nielsen's clothes, I suppose.

A moment later Nielsen exchanges bodies, or exchanges Nancy's clothes, with his assistant Father Brophy (Anthony Starke).
