I just wanna say - "Good luck. We're all counting on you!" 😂
And don't call me shirly.

@@BlankSpace83 Huh?
Don't call me SURELY
Awe... you said it wrong...
This movie is a real product of its time. There are TV, movie, and commercial tropes which are lost on modern audiences. In theaters, there was virtually no down time, no clunker jokes, no missteps -- this was breathtaking, sidesplitting, crying-laughing satire, parody, and spoof. You had to watch it several times just to catch all the references. It's still funny, but also a graduate class on late '70's, American, pop culture.
There was a time when solicitors for this that and the other roamed the airports. Since those days Security has shut them out. Yes there were several commercial references. The one about never having a second cup of coffee at home was a long running coffee TV comercial. I'm a bit amazed that reactors now never seem to mention all the Mayonaise jars at the Mayo Clinic. Younger generations likely never saw the old Credit Card receipt machine. The girl going for her operation became a long running star on "The Love Boat". There is more but you get the idea.
It also used a number of actors who were known for serious roles and played completely against type here. Leslie Neilson was known for dramas before this and Airplane started him toward becoming a comedy star.
1wwtom There will obviously be exceptions, but I think that most reactors have never heard of the Mayo Clinic. So from their point of view it's the same as if the clinic was named the Ketchup Clinic with bottles of ketchup on the wall. Not particularly funny. However, Addie at least smiled at that joke, so I think she got it.
One of the best ways to prepare a Zoomer or Millennial for this movie would be to read this comment.....
@@przemekkozlowski7835 also Barbara Billingsley (Mrs. Cleaver on tv's Leave it to Beaver) speaking jive. :)
One of my favorite running gags from this movie is the propeller noise going in the background the whole time despite the plane not being a propeller plane. That and every time it cuts to a flashback of what happened, it’s different 😂
Or that it's making train noises during that gag
One bit I never noticed until I read about it in one of these comment sections: when Kramer goes to leave his house, he actually steps out of the mirror!
Interestingly a pilot reacted to this movie and said that such aircraft do sound like this when they're cruising.
@@5hanesBoard lol have you ever been on a plane? It definitely doesn’t sound like that. Loud, yes, but not like a propeller. They are very distinctly different. A lot of small private planes have propellers though so perhaps that’s what he was referring to? But large passenger planes use jet engines.
@@frokghug if it’s the same pilot I’m thinking of I believe he was referring to older jets like the one we see in the movie with the older jet engines
"Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home" is a line from a commercial at the time.
Radar Range used to be the name of a brand of microwave.
"Win one for the Zipper" is a takeoff from a movie with Ronald Reagan, who played real life Notre Dame football player George Gipp, who died during the season and told his teammates to "win one for the Gipper".
The guy in the cab was Howard Jarvis, who was an anti-tax activist at the time, who fought against all tax raises in California.
Not just a line from a commercial, they're the same couple from those commercials.
The Red-zone/White-zone announcers are also the real-life couple that recorded those types of announcements for airports.
the beach scene taken from "From Here to Eternity" [with more seaweed], the movie that made frank Sinatra a star and used as the plot point for Johnny Fontaine in "The Godfather" that prompts Tom's visit to Hollywood.
It was called a radar range because Microwaves were radar technology. They just discovered that their radar made stuff hot.
And the entire story of the movie is based on an older, movie called "Zero Hour!" Some of the same lines are in it. Zero Hour was meant as a serious movie, but so many of the little bits were just ripe for parody:
The kid visiting the cockpit.
A professional athlete playing the part of the co-pilot.
The flashbacks to the war and the relationship.
"I just thought you should know what our chances are: The lives of everyone on board this plane depend on finding someone who not only can fly it, but who didn't have fish for dinner."
"Would you like some whiskey, maam?"
The heart transplant patient.
The stewardess playing the guitar for her.
etc.
“Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!“
good luck with your upcoming reactions addie. we're all counting on you.
As soon as you said you wished we got to see the guy in the cab one last time, I thought "Oh no, she didn't see the end credits scene!" But now you have. 🤣
What I doubt she knows is that it is Howard Jarvis waiting in the cab. Probably one of the last people on earth that would just sit in a cab and let charges rack up. That's the funniest part of that joke, but if you didn't see this movie when it came out, you might just be too young to know.
I never knew there was an end credit scene in this movie. I've never seen it till now and so glad Addie went back and dropped it in :)
Yeah, somehow anyone born after the 90s thinks MARVEL is who/what created Post-Credot scenes.
To be honest, I feel, if you consider yourself a real Movie Lover, you Must watch All the credits, post-scene or not. ALOT of people made this movie... we owe it to their efforts to care.
@@porgyt7177 plus the joke credits in the credits
@@Greenwood4727 exactly.
But, I also love hearing a Reactor say something like: Oh, he was Assistant Director on the other project. OR... He did the music for This movie.
It shows you care for movie making. 🎥 and again, shows thanks to the 100s of people who were not On screen that it took to pull off this thing.
Ethyl Mermon was a singer with a incredibly POWERFUL voice. SHe was awesome as a loud-mouthed Mother-in-law in the movie --- "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World"
Have you seen her as a young actress in Kid Millions and Strike Me Pink? If you haven’t, I’d recommend it!
One more Mad.
Ethel Merman. I'm just sayin'. But she was combustable as you noted.
you missed a Mad
Lol, there's a spoof in Madd Magazine called It's a World, World, World, World MADD.
you know it's OK to laugh 😂😂 So serious
She looks like she's watching a prisoner's execution.
The line about the Turkish prison was a reference to the movie Midnight Express. Audiences in 1980 knew exactly what this meant.
What does it mean?
There were some forced sexy times.
Really? I'm almost disappointed. I always thought it was hilariously random on its own.
Yes so many reviewers don’t understand and think the pilot is a pedofile or something. When he says have you seen a grown man naked it’s literal humor derived from term cock pit (front of plane where pilots are)
Have you ever seen a grown man naked?
You’re the first person to ever deadpan the “I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley” line 😂
Yes, my one knock on Addie is that she isn't much of a laugher, which generally makes her reactions to comedies less enjoyable. All we've ever gotten out of her at most are light chuckles.
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy I found her bone dry take rather charming, actually.
That's because she has the sense of humour of a cardboard box. I'm shocked to see her reacting to comedies. They never, ever get much of a response out of her. I'd bet money that most of her views are because she's attractive rather than someone who gives decent reactions
@@maximillianford9301 OH Dear Max. Not getting the views on your channel that you want so you have to bash someone else? How sad.
@@curtismartin2866 haven't made a video in my life. I wonder if you'd find her charming if she wasn't as attractive
The two people arguing over the red zone/white zone were actual L.A. airport announcers at the time, so anybody who had flown through LAX at the time recognized the voices.
They're also married in real life, giving extra hilarity (?) to their abortion argument.
I never knew that! That's an awesome tidbit.
𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲?! Woah!
@@callmeshaggy5166I think it does. In the movie youre kind of imagining that theyre having a workplace affair and discussing it over the speakers as thats how they interact. But the idea that theyre a married couple, airing their dirty laundry because of a disagreement over zones is atleast somewhat funnier.
After-credit scenes in older movies were usually done for comedies. Also you should sit through the credits for movies like these, they always put jokes in there 😁
I'm like, "Is this the right fit for Addie? She does concern but I'm not sure about actual laughter."
"Back babe, slide a piece of the porter, drink side run the java!"
"Lookie here, I can dig some greens and jumpin on some butter and draggin thru the garden!"
This had a few pop culture cameos. Not just Skyhook, who everyone in the audience would have known on sight, but Ethel Merman was still a name. Jimmie Walker was the guy checking under the hood, and the woman whose husband wanted a second cup of coffee? She was the woman from the original commercial that used the whole "my husband never drinks a second cup of coffee" gimmick.
Once you get over the shock and "what's the heck is going on ?!?!" feeling on the first viewing, this movie just gets funnier the more you watch. Trust me, I've watched it countless times since I saw it in the theater. I haven't stop laughing since.
Now I'm also having fun laughing with/at the reactors ;)
It seems like every time I watch this movie I notice some little thing I hadn't noticed before.
The sense of humor is just.. different in some. Some are brilliant and some .. gifted in other areas.
I’d also recommend _Top Secret!_ (1984). It’s by the same people as this one and has really similar humor, but doesn’t get as much recognition for some reason.
Other funny movies like this are Hot Shots 1&2 and loaded weapon.
As good as Airplane! is, I actually like Top Secret! even better. That might just be because I watched it on VHS so many times as a kid though lol
There's also Airplane 2, Police Squad, Naked Gun, Blazing Saddles...
@@dupersuper1938 I would also add Robin Hood Men in Tights, Spaceballs, Young Frankenstein and History of the World Part 1
@@randalthor741 Agreed. I think a lot of the jokes in "Top Secret!" are less obvious/predictable, cleverer, and I love how it simultaneously spoofs 2 totally disparate movie types.
If you were only old enough to remember the constant bombardment of TV commercials about never having a second cup of coffee at home during the 1970s and 1980s. 😄
11:45 Did you notice that he walked through the mirror?
yeah. And there is a wall at the top of the stairs.
Not many do. It's a subtle visual gag that goes over many heads.
I’ve always loved that and wonder how many people noticed.
A fun fact about this movie - it's a nearly shot-for-shot remake of an earlier movie called Zero Hour (from 1957). There's a video comparing the two side-by-side and it really is surprising how similar they are. The main difference is that Airplane is a comedy that parodies a genre that Zero Hour is part of, and it exaggerates various scenes from Zero Hour.
I saw that and you're absolutely right.
There is one gag which you kind of need to have seen "Zero Hour" to get, and that's casting Kareem Abdul-Jabaar as Roger, the co-pilot.
Precisely. It's a nested doll parody, parodying disaster films of the time and being a shot-for-shot parody of "Zero Hour" itself, nested in a parody of tons of 70's tropes as well, and also references going back decades.
Interesting fact: Arthur Hailey wrote the screenplay for Zero Hour! and then went on to write the novel Airport, which was adapted into the film of the same name, which launched the whole 70s disaster film craze and inspired the name Airplane!
@@Osprey850 A few story beats from Airplane! come from Airport, I believe.
I just want to tell everybody good luck we're all counting on you.
Surely, you can't be serious?
I am serious and don't call me Shirley.
Hey Addie, I can’t wait to watch this reaction. If you’ve never seen it, I highly recommend *The Naked Gun* which stars Leslie Neilson and has a similar type of humor but in a more coherent story and is, I think, even funnier! Love your videos!
I hate to say this, but since she didn't exactly bust a gut with the humor in this film, I don't believe she'll be more amused by the exact same kind.
Addie s eye roll at the " and don't call me Shirley" was adorable.🌹❤️🌷🩷😇
im sure you noticed,the jet plane does propeller sounds ;)
Train sounds during takeoff., with a train attendent.
I highly recommend the "Austin Powers" trilogy. I think You would love it.
My favorite is still The Jive Lady, played by Barabara Billingsley,THE quintessential 50's TV Mom! So hilarious
Absolutely one of the funniest moments in film history.
She did not play any of the scenes with the "Brothers". Not sure why. She cut out alot more than most other reactors.
Addie, when you mentioned that you wanted the movie to end with the guy still in the cab, I was so happy for you, knowing that you were going to get your wish! Then when you didn't initially watch the end credits scene, I was sad for you....and then when "two days later" came on the screen, I was happy for you again! Thanks for taking me on such an emotional rollercoaster. 😆 Thanks for being one of my absolutely favorite reactors!!
Great reaction and great movie!
One overlooked joke is when it shows the plane itself. It's a jet engine plane and yet the sound it makes is from a propeller plane.
Most don't get the joke that Ted is living in the past... because they show clips of WWII airplane dogfights.
His "drinking problem" always gets me.
When you said 'Oh my gosh' in the Mayo clinic scene, I wondered if you understood the contents of the shelves.
Not too many younger reactors get what the Mayo Clinic is. Some did catch the "Wacking Material" sign on the magazines... like "Modern Sperm." LOL!
@@dan_hitchman007 never thought that knowing what the Mayo Clinic was aided in getting the joke, only what mayo is.
@@dan_hitchman007 and Golf Digest is there too! LOL. The term "wacking" is not used much today with the young generation. They tell me it's called, "Choking the Chicken", or "Jacking Off". In the 70s, we used to say, "Spanking the Monkey." or "whalin' away."
Her lack of comments and facial expressions didn't reveal if she noticed or not. If she did, it didn't generate a gut busting laugh. For me, it was one of the weaker visual gags. I thought the jumping heart was funnier. Personal choice I suppose.
Forgive me for sharing, but I can't help it. My father died on September 4th, 1980, my 14th birthday and the 2nd day of my freshman year. That was a Wednesday. We buried him on Saturday. Monday my mom decided I didn't have to go to school. I think she skipped work as well and we went to see "Airplane". She and I had both been wanting to see it. But she thought it was a completely different movie from what it turned out to be. I went in knowing what I was in for. When the "Jaws" theme started and the stabilizer cut through the cloud cover a couple of girls who were probably skipping school let out a peal of laughter (the kind you can only get when the subject is stoned). I myself probably had a big smile and may have chuckled a bit. My mother asked, "Why are they laughing"? I told her, "Because that's some funny stuff, mom"!!!! She replied, "It's a disaster movie, it's not supposed to be funny". I said, "You do know that this is "AirPLANE", RIGHT?!?!?!? NOT "AirPORT"?!?!? She replied, "So"? I told her, "It's a comedy, mother. Watch and enjoy it". She sat as she always did when she was uncomfortable with a situation. Purse clutched tightly to her chest, her face judgemental as all hell. About 2 minutes in she let out a roar and let the movie do it's thing. I never could figure my mother out. A couple of years earlier I got home from school and she showed me an ad in the paper which read, "Tonight, America's Favorite Vampire Will Bite Your Funny-Bone". It was an ad for "Love at First Bite". It was a sneak preview. We went. At the beginning of the movie when George Hamilton intoned, "Children of the night!!!!! SHUT!!! UP!!!!" the theater erupted in hysterics. My mother of course as you can probably guess asked, "Why is everyone laughing"? Can you guess what I told her? "Because it's FUNNY, mother"!!!! "But it's a Dracula movie. You aren't supposed to laugh at a Dracula movie". I replied, "You are when it's a COMEDY". "What makes you think it's a comedy"? "Just watch". Yeah. That was my mom. Not a lick of sense in her head. The ad was right there in black and white and she didn't understand that "... Will Bite Your Funny-Bone" meant that it was a comedy. I could probably get some comedy out of my mothers stupidity. Thanks for inspiring me, Addie. Loved your reaction, although I'd like to have seen how you reacted to "Excuse me Stewardess, I speak jive". BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!
This is an entirely different kind of comedy altogether.
This is an entirely different kind of comedy.

I watched this decades ago, and it's still one of my all-time favorite movies. My family still quote it occasionally. Glad you finally saw it!
[everything that makes me bust out laughing everytime]
Addie: either "" or " no that's not what s/he meant"
Loved the reaction.
The microwave joke with the turkey was based on one of the early microwave brands called Radar Range because early microwave ovens were based on discoveries about the side effects of high power radar systems in WW2 (What's on the radar?).
The inner monologue about her husband not having a second cup of coffee at home and then "throwing up" and such was based on an old coffee commercial. Same actress, I think.
This was based mostly on spoofing the old Zero Hour movie, with the copilot being acted by a famous football player. In that movie it brought up the issue of the pilot and copilot having the same meal. To this day they are not allowed to eat the same food. Zero Hour had very innocent and constructive questions from the pilot to the young boy. It was a serious movie. The Turkish Prison reference was probably a reference to Midnight Express or the bad Turkish prison experience in Lawrence Of Arabia - basically sodomy and torture.
The "this was the wrong week to quit ..." gag was a parody of the one of the main characters in Airport. Just smoking in that one. But still portraying the stress of a high profile troubleshooter.
There was an old trope of slapping the hysterical female character in many old movies. They just took it to a few levels higher in this one.
The actress that played Beaver's mom in "Leave It To Beaver" was the woman who interpreted the Jive brothers for the stewardess.
She was always a very proper Suzy Homemaker character in the old series, but quite spicy in this parody.
Many of these actors were trying their first shot at comedy after long careers of drama and action parts, especially the doctor and the "quitting" guy. They went on to do quite a bit of very successful comedy from then on - Police Academy, Naked Gun, Joe Versus The Volcano and many more.
The man in the cab was Senator Howard Jarvis. We all despised him because he brought Proposition 13 to the floor to cut funding for education. In response to criticism, he essentially said we shouldn't fund babysitting.
This movie is such a great love letter to aviation
And second cups of coffee.
Around the time that this movie was made, "disaster" films were the big-budget staples of the film industry. "The Towering Inferno", "The Poseidon Adventure", and "Airport" were just a few of the films which included a cast full of big-name actors.
"Airplane!" took that trope and spoofed it - in fact, it was the first movie of its kind and led to films such as "Hot Shots", "Scary Movie", "Not Another Teen Movie", etc. which poked fun at entire genres of film.
...it was also Leslie Nielsen's first comedic role (he played the doctor); prior to "Airplane!", he was typically cast as the villain in television or films.
The Zucker Brothers made great spoof comedies back then. Now, you’ll have to watch “Top Secret “ starring Val Kilmer, “The Naked Gun” franchise starring Leslie Nielsen and their first movie “Kentucky Fried Movie”. Airplane was made to spoof the 1970s disaster/ catastrophe movies of the time, more specifically “Airport 77” and its sequel “Airport ‘79” Airplane is actually an almost shot for short spoof on a movie called “Zero Hour”. Other 70s disaster movies- “Earthquake”,”Avalanche “, “The Towering Inferno “ and “The Poseidon Adventure “.
This movie was a spoof on a the series of air disaster movies that came out in the mid to late 70s. And also it made references to lots of commercials and other cultural things from that time.
Just finished watching this reaction a 2nd time right after seeing it the 1st time. Never did that before. That is how great it is...I am still laughing! 😂😂😂
I can't imagine how many takes were required to get some of these scenes done without bursting into laughter.
Fun fact: Peter Graves, aka Captain Oveur, was the star of the Original Mission: Impossible series.
The radar range joke didn't age very well but early microwaves where called a Radarange.
Please check out the creative teams follow up Top Secret!, it’s the debut performance by Val Kilmer and it’s just as ridiculously funny as this.😂👍
The best gag hands down is when Robert Stack pulls off his sunglasses and has another set of sunglasses on underneath.
I must have watched this movie half a dozen times before I noticed the jars of mayonnaise at the Mayo Clinic or the ice cream cone at the press conference.
The woman who speaks Jive played the mom on LEAVE IT TO BEAVER tv series. Which is why audiences found that funny to see her talk like that.
"Surly you can't be serious?"
"Yes I am and don't call me Shirley."
Imo the most underrated gag is the fact that every time we see an outside shot of the giant 4-engine airplane, we get the sound effects of a small propeller plane.
and the shot of a scale model. Most people don't realize that it's not a real 707 that we are seeing.
the most serious reaction to "airplane" I have ever seen!!
Yeah, a little reserved. Most can't stop laughing. You just have to be in a silly mood. I've watched "Airplane!" countless times and I bust a gut every time.
Or she’s wound super tight and takes herself way too seriously. I’ve known plenty of young women like that. Ugh.
She almost looked bored or "I can't wait to get thru this dumb silly movie; it's not my thing at all." She may even have regrets that she reacted to it. The video is only 20min, so she chopped off many many great scenes. Oh well, not for everyone.
Fun Fact on the Saturday Night Fever spoof dance scene: While he was doing Airplane, Actor Robert Hays (Ted Striker) was also doing a short lived sitcom called Angie and his Angie Co-Star Donna Pescow was in Saturday Night Fever.
There is a sequel to Airplane called Airplane 2 The Sequel which is also worth a look just to see William Shatner steal the show.
This humor isnt for Addie =)
After the Holy Grail....I thought her face would be hurting from laughing and smiling. THanks for honest reaction!! =)
Cant love 'em all
Funniest movie of all time. The attendant that checks the oil and then falls off the hood was JJ Walker in a quick cameo.
I love the bit early-ish in the film where suddenly you've got the old woman hanging, the black coffee and the "grown man naked" bits in rapid succession. It's like it suddenly ups the ante!
You guys remember The Cannonball Run? Recently watched it again and it’s even better seeing it 40 years later.
Addie reacting to one of my favourite movies ever? What a beautiful monday!
saw this when I was a kid. my friends and I still quote it to each other
I'm just absolutely delighted that you found out about the end credit scene, even if belated 😂
A different actress was originally cast as Elaine, but she quit because she thought some of the jokes crossed the line, so the part went to Julie Hagerty. The other actress did continue acting though, and went on to star in some movies you've probably seen. Her name is Sigourney Weaver.
I just want to tell you good luck, we’re all counting on you.
I just wanted to say... Good luck, we're all counting on you!
I just want to tell you good luck, we’re all counting on you.
I don't know why, but Addie's intro music is so relaxing for me.
I love this movie just because its soo random and silly
This is the most composed and professional reaction I’ve ever seen, considering the type of movie 😂
Edit: man, what happened down here? I just wanted to make a joke, not start a civil war lmao
It’s a reaction..😂
It was more a lack of reaction than a reaction. She either missed the jokes, or didn't like them entirely. In her defense, this was created with a different generation in mind.
Almost clinically funny like the doctor…🤣
@@qhal3570 having seen several of her reactions, she's simply a less expressive reactor. She's kinda like me, I could think a movie is hilarious, but anyone watching me would think I was bored.
That, and having a face for radio, is why I never started a reaction channel.
I'm not sure if she like this at all or maybe it's just a generational thing
One of the funniest movies ever made…. She never laughed!!?? 😂 🤔
Because of her youth, I don't believe she understood many of the funnier bits.
Well, it's a different kind of comedy than she's used to -- altogether.
@@rmar67 Well, it's a different kind of comedy than she's used to
Well, it's a different kind of comedy than she's used to
It's because all the jokes were connected to events that were current and popular in the late 70s; it's a cultural thing. Example, those Yuban Coffee commercials were all over TV back then, so we get the connection and the gag. She's never seen those commercials, so when the actress comes on screen and does a similar dialog to those commercials, it flies right over her head. If she were born in the late 60s, she would be gut busting laughing like us.
All Mel Brooks movies are great. Slap-sticky, sometimes edgey (for the era), and always hilarious. These early ones are classics, but I love Spaceballs most.
16:18 ... Is he holding an ice cream code?
I've seen this movie a dozen times and there are still little gags that I missed. 😄
"Top Secret" made by the same people that made this one (the zucker brothers) is my favorite of this style, then my next favorite movie of theirs is "The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977)." which is a spoof of "the Wizard of Oz" and "Enter the Dragon" which is a Bruce Lee movie.
A friend of mine was a flight attendant and she told me that Leslie Nielsen asked to be let into the flight deck so he could deliver that line. It was seriously against protocol, but everyone loved it! Just imagine being a pilot and seeing him standing there saying that line! Priceless!
2:00 I can't count the number of times I've seen this clip, but that's the first time I noticed that a baby (swaddled in a pink blanket) gets thrown high into the air!
Public Service Announcement :
MARVEL did NOT create Post-Credit Scenes.
Naked gun should be the next must watch movie!
The counterpoint of your sweetness Addie to the absolute absurdity of the film is *chef's kiss* The film is a send-up of '70s disaster films plus a very loose remake of the B film TARGET ZERO. Still hilarious after 40 yrs.
Surely you can't make my day like this!
Sure she can. And don't call her Shirley
Yes she can... and stop calling her Shirley.
Surely she can can - and don't call her Addie!!🤪
Jimmy Walker (J.J. from Good Times) as the airplane mechanic!
Howard Jarvis, was the man in the taxi. He was known by most as the face of the California Tax Revolt, Prop 13, in 1978, which cut property taxes by 57% in California. The joke is that the taxi fare ate his tax savings!
Fun reaction, Addie. Airplane! (1980) is one funny and wild flight of a movie. My favorite scenes involve Otto Pilot. BTW, that Addie eye roll at 10:55 was hilarious, since the extreme Addie close up from your reaction to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017).
According to the placard, rows 11-21 say no smoking and rows 13-51 say no sex. That means, rows 11 and 12 can have sex but can't smoke while rows 22-51 can smoke but can't have sex and rows 13-21 can neither smoke nor have sex.
Really, that was fun? ^^;
@@SCharlesDennicon Yes. Addie's reactions, in general, are fun to watch.
I was hoping you saw the post credit scene. So many reactors either don't see it or just don't include it in their reaction. Also, in the middle of the credits is the random line "A Tale of Two Cities written by Charles Dickens". I don't think this was the first movie to have a post credit scene, but this movie and Ferris Bueller's Day Off were the first two I can remember seeing.
Lloyd Bridges (father of Beau and Jeff Bridges). Peter Graves, and Robert Stack had all had long careers at this point as dramatic actors. Likewise Leslie Nielsen, who had a long career as a dramatic actor in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, before finding a new younger audience as a comedic actor in the 80s and 90s. This was Ethel Merman's last movie role. She died a couple years later.
Two two airport workers who crashed the plane into the airport at the beginning of the film were played by David and Jerry Zucker, two of the writers and directors of the movie, and their mother Charlotte played the makeup lady on the plane.
There are a number of jokes scattered through the credits, not just the one.
Additionally, the 3rd director, Jim Abrahams, played "Religious Zealot #6".
So Here is another way to Test the inner mind of a fellow human, this film's humor. In Addie's case the reaction to this film SPEAKS VOLUMES.
This is the perfect movie to just let your hair down and let the silly wash over you.
"...im just scrambling now" you and me both, sister! i do that opening my videos all the time lol. still watching you tho, keep goin!
I've seen this movie twice, and never even knew about that last scene in the taxi before!
17:37 "Poor guy's prob'ly very dehydrated." 😆
“Addie has never seen Airplane! Awesome” exactly what I said when I got my notification 👍
Addie never watched Airplane at home.
Surely you can't be serious
I met Leslie Nielsen years ago at a Pro-Am golf ⛳ tournament.
Hilarious 😆😆
I watch this movie every now and again, and it still makes me laugh every time.
OMG - 1:20 ! You have not seen Jaws.. this is one of THE Steven Spielberg movies of all time. I highly recommend you see this one STAT! 😃
The line "Win one for the zipper" is in reference to "Win one for the Gipper" in a movie about Knute Rockne a college football star who died due to illness. It starred former US President Ronald Reagan. I enjoy your reactions and looking forward to the next one.
One of only two movies where my face was sore the next day from laughing and smiling.
You have to watch Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker movies more than once. There's always something going on in the backgrounds. Even the end credits are goofy. You have to watch all the way through.
Half of the Actors Peter Graves, Robert Stack. Lloyd Briggs
and Leslie Neilsen this was there first comedy Roles
"Ah, yes. That is how I drink as well."
Then apparently, you too have a drinking problem! Hahaha...
Look at the very far left of the movie screen at 2:06 - 2:07. You can see a member of the film crew bent down holding some cable. Haha 😂
It's worth noting that a lot of the actors in this movie, Leslie Nielsen who played the doctor, Lloyd Bridges (father of Jeff Bridges) who played the main controller guy with all the drug problems, and Robert Stack who played Rex Kramer) were, before this film, only known as serious, two-fisted tough guys, and this was a total departure for them, playing parodies of themselves in a silly comedy. Leslie Nielsen was so good at it that it started a whole new career for him, starring as Police Detective Frank Drebin in the TV series Police Squad! (and later 3 spin-off Naked Gun films) produced by Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker, who brought you Airplane! He was a natural, and got pretty famous for going on talk shows and deploying a fart noisemaker in the middle of interviews.
The only problem I have with your reaction is no mention of the Jive talking guys and the White lady who translates.
This is a wild movie, and hilariously silly. It's the definition of a pallet cleanser.
The guy in the cab is Howard Jarvis. Look him up to get that joke. No Fistful of Yen or Groove Tube?
Lloyd Bridges is in this film and his son Jeff Bridges is his son in real life. Jeff is an amazing actor
"Monty Python and the Holy Grail", "Airplane" and "Blazing Saddles" are my holy trifecta of 70s/80s absurd comedies. 🙂
Another 80’s comedy is Top Secret. 3 movies from the 90s that were the same type of comedy are hot shots 1&2 and loaded weapon. VHS is another good one. And lastly the naked gun trilogy. And also Mel brooks films.
@@geeebuttersnap2433In the 2000s is the first three Scary Movie films.
Such an iconic all-star cast.
Omg this movie haha this was a good reaction and some of these jokes, the writing and how it stands the test of time and can still be wonderful, it’s outstanding
