I've been a pilot for over 40 years, and I can assure you that the automatic pilots DO look like that.
I'll bet you don't re-inflate them life Elaine does!
@@sdhartley74 No comment. 😈😁
@@Fast_Eddy_MagicSo THAT'S what that onlyfans vid I saw was...
Well not anymore
And his name is Otto too; Otto Pilot 😂😂
10:38: OMG! You WIN! You are the only reactor to EVER get the "Midnight Express" reference! Well done!
Yep, I was also pleasantly surprised to see someone get that reference...
I'm 64 and I grew up with most of these actors. Peter Graves, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges were famous for playing cops and spies and town marshals when I was a kid. When they appeared in this whacky movie, it was totally unexpected. My generation had never seen them do anything like this before.
The grandmother speaking jive was Barbara Billingsley who is one of the historic "TV moms" of classic television. She played June Cleaver on Leave It To Beaver. She spent a week with those two guys learning how to speak jive for the movie.
I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you.
I just want to tell you both, good luck. We're all counting on you.
@@everyonelovesmajima Surely you can't be serious?
I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you.
Sorry it's a tree part joke so had to be done. 😋
I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.
Let's see...let's start with the Japanese soldier that committed suicide whose picture is hanging on the wall behind you. I don't know if you noticed but the airplane didn't make jet noises when in the air, it made propeller airplane noises. When Peter Graves was speaking to the kid, he would pause before saying his line because he was having problems saying them. The two gentlemen speaking jive were allowed to make whatever lines they wanted to say. The older lady translating the jive is Barbara Billingsley who starred as June Cleaver on the tv show Leave it to Beaver. The tribesmen he was teaching to play basketball were in fact the Harlem Globetrotters. There's a lot of other facts I'm forgetting, but a major one is this is a shot for shot remake of heavy drama called Zero Hour. And yes, this was PG, they hadn't created the PG-13 designation yet.
There are videos on TH-cam providing scene by scene comparisons with Zero Hour.
I feel kinda silly now that we didn't recoginze James Hong. There was so much going on, we just didn't make the connection, thanks for pointing it out. I indeed did not notice the propeller noises until now, good observation. I had no idea that was Barbara Billingsley, she did a fantastic job with the jive. I may have to go back and watch this again to catch everything I missed. Thanks for all the help!
@CocktailFlicks This is definitely a movie where one benefits from several rewatchings. SO many jokes are piled on that it's almost impossible to catch them all the first time. 😄
I've heard before that the Globetrotters were in the movie but I've never found anything to confirm it. Do you have a solid source?
The “Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home”woman was the actual actress from the commercials they were spoofing, they hired her not knowing she was.
Johnny was the man. Most of his lines were improvised.
Thank you for watching it to the end.
You're welcome. We always try to check to the very end, to see if there's a hidden scene!
The woman interpreting jive was played by Barbara Billingsley who played Mrs. Cleaver in the classic sitcom LEAVE IT TO BEAVER.
And Lloyd Bridges used to play former Navy diver Mike Nelson on Sea Hunt...and Peter Graves used to play Jim Phelps on Mission: Impossible...and Robert Stack used to play Eliot Ness on The Untouchables...
Best casting choice in the history of cinema IMO. I mean that was brilliant. 😀
FUN FACT: prior to this film, Leslie Nielsen was known exclusively for "serious" films like heavy dramas. After Airplane, though, he was never able to get a serious role again.
This movie is the reason i wear two pairs of sunglasses every day
Good idea. You never know when you’ll have to face some facts.
Just for moments when you need to take them off like that? I fully understand and agree!
😎
The unsolved mystery is how he walked through the mirror!
Oh wow, you're right, I never noticed that until now. Thanks for pointing that out!
That’s definitely one to reflect on.
It's well worth seeing their other comedies such as "Top Secret"
ZAZ are the greatest ... btw: did you notice the sign of the radio station that the plane hit? "WZAZ"
Top Secret is great. Probably on par with Airplane.
heheh, The actor (James Hong) who played the Japanese officer is on the poster behind you! (The man in the taxi who spends the entire movie waiting with the meter running was Howard Jarvis. Jarvis led the 1978 push for Proposition 13 in California, which was a money-saving and tax-cutting initiative that led to major cuts in public services (especially in schools and libraries) in California. Jarvis saved California homeowners thousands of dollars per year by cutting residential property taxes in half. - from IMDb "Airplane" trivia page).
Robert Hayes said after making this movie he learned to fly and when he flies commercial he NEVER orders fish for dinner!
I don't think I've ever seen Joe laugh so hard! 😁😁😁😁😁
I couldn't help myself, this movie broke me on a comedic scale I haven't seen in a long time. I'm glad you enjoyed it, this was the reaction I was hoping to have!
My wife gave me a copy of "Surely You Can't Be Serious: the True Story of Airplane!" for Christmas. It's a book-length interview with the creators and the cast.
BTW, the creators of Airplane! had no involvement in Airplane 2, and said that to this day none of them have even seen it. I did, and I thought it was just as funny as the first; especially because of all the sci-fi references in it.
I got it for Christmas as well. It's a terrific book for lovers of Airplane, and it is amazing that this film was ever made in the first place. So many things had to go right, which thankfully happened.
Lucky! All I got was a _Famous Jewish Sports Legends_ pamphlet.
half of A2 is just as funny (many of the same jokes as in A1 but with a twist to make them identical enough, as people expect, and still different enough to make it not boring), but in my memory the other half of it consists of flashbacks to the flashbacks in A1 :-(
this negative effect probably appeared to me much stronger then it really was when i already had watched A1 quite a few times and then watched A2 for the first time as "double fearure", A1 as yet another repeat, followed back to back by A2 with these repeats of A1 scenes ...
I just want to tell you both, good luck. We're all counting on you.
"Can you fly this plane, and land it?"
"Surely you can't be serious."
"I am serious... and don't call me Shirley."
Classic comedy. Laugh a minute and very quotable.
Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Julie Hagerty.
Celebrity Pilot Fact: In a 2008 interview, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar told the story of being on a European flight and asked to sit in an empty seat in the cockpit during takeoff so the crew could say they flew with Roger Murdoch.
Better Living Through Chemistry Fact: At one point, a woman (Nora Meerbaum) refuses alcohol in favor of sniffing cocaine. Although seemingly righteous and indigent at being offered alcohol, she is correct in refusing a depressant (whiskey) if she was going to take a stimulant (cocaine).
White-Red Zone Fact: Regarding the argument between announcers concerning the white and red zones at the airport, the producers hired the same voice artists who had made the real-world announcements at Los Angeles International Airport. At the real airport, the white zone is for loading and unloading of passengers only, and there's no stopping in the red zone (except for transit buses). They were also married to each other in real life.
Casting Notes Fact: Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker chose actors such as Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, and Leslie Nielsen because of their reputation for playing no-nonsense characters. Until this film, these actors had not done comedy, so their "straight-arrow" personas and line delivery made the satire in the movie all the more poignant and funny. Bridges was initially reluctant to take his role in the movie, but his sons persuaded him to do it.
This is why I love movies like this. The facts and attention to detail that went into the writing and casting is on point and very smart. I think it's awesome that they used the same voice actors that actually made the announcements for LAX, that's a great use of real-world resources. Thanks for all the fun facts, I live for these. Hope you are well, it's always a pleasure hearing from you. Go in peace and walk with God 😎 👍
CocktailFlicks ...You're welcome! I'm glad that you enjoyed my comment.
Go with God and Be Safe from Evil. 😎 👍
@@BigGator5 Super green 😍
Few people ever seem to notice in the dance scene, that Ted is wearing a Navy Officer’s uniform, but he’s an Air Force pilot.
They also don't notice that when he is thrown into the crowd you can see Robert Hays kneeling down under the star shaped blue neon light waiting to switch places with his stunt man.
It’s a completely different kind of tearjerker… altogether. 🤣
You can say that again. It has to be pretty special to make you cry from laughing!
It's a completely different kind of tearjerker
A lot of young people will not get the reference to the Ronald Reagan film about Knute Rockne. Based on a true story about a Notre Dame football couch who gave a legendary speech to inspire the team when he told them of the exchange of a dying player nicknamed Gipper.
Yup. The real football player was George Gipp, nicknamed The Gipper, while the pilot in the film has the name George Zipp, and nicknamed The Zipper.
Keep in mind that this movie was made and released when Reagan was running for President and was using the George Gipp line in his campaign.
Fun fact, the Airplane window washer/oil checker was JJ from Good Times.
The man and woman over the loudspeakers in the airport were the actual airport announcers at LAX and were also a married couple.
The man in the cab was not an actor. He was a well-known businessman from California who lobbied heavily to reign in government spending in California. It’s obscure, and you’d have to have been from California at that time to even know who he was, but the joke is that he just sits there allowing the tab to keep going up without doing anything.
The black guys speaking jive, which they wrote themselves, was all a setup for the punchline of the older white woman speaking it as well and back to them. The actress was Barbara Billingsley. She played June Cleaver in the 1950’s TV show Leave It To Beaver and was the epitome of a white middleclass mother and housewife of that era.
The woman who thinks to herself that her husband never has a second cup of coffee at home was an actress who did national coffee commercials - I think for Folgers - and that was always her catchphrase.
Peter Graves (pilot), Leslie Neilson (doctor), Lloyd Bridges (air traffic controller) and Robert Stack (pilot in tower) were very famous and legendary dramatic actors who had done little to no comedy. Casting them in this movie and having them say and do such ridiculous things was SO out of character for them. That is what made it so funny. Peter Graves was the main character in the original TV series Mission Impossible, which the Tom Cruise movies are based on. There is a reference to it in Airplane!2. Lloyd Bridges sons, actors Beau Bridges and Jeff Bridges, begged him to do this movie so they could laugh at him. It led to many more comedy roles for all of them. Lloyd Bridges was also in a couple of episodes of Seinfeld toward the end of his life.
Ethel Merman was a very famous and successful actress, singer and Broadway star. Yes, that was her in the hospital flashback basically playing herself. The song she sings was one of her trademarks.
I’m not sure, but the horse in bed with the pilot’s wife might be a reference to The God Father.
The ridiculous images in the background while Robert Stack is driving to the airport is making fun of the bad special effects used up till around that time whenever people are driving.
I'm sure The Godfather does come to mind for a lot of people when they see the horse, but I think it's just supposed to be funny that Mrs. Oveur's extramarital lover happens to be a horse.
@@ericwalker8636 What else is hung like that
Kudos for getting the post credit scene! Most reactors miss it.👍
There is actually an FAA rule that the pilot and copilot cannot eat the same meal on a flight, to prevent this exact issue. I think it became a rule after the film this was based on, Zero Hour!
If not it is a good common sense rule. That way if one gets sick one should not get sick. I say that because if the food was made by the same people. There may be some cross contamination.
I have to defend Julie Hagerty's acting- she was overly dramatic on purpose on the scene you mentioned.
It was a straight up imitation of Karen Black's scenery-chewing in Airport '75.
Younger generations don’t understand what this movie is about. They are spoofing all of the overly dramatic disaster movies of the 70s.
As silly as it may sound, Julie Haggerty’s reaction to the spit-take during the hospital flashback scene cemented her comedic acting cred for me. Watch it again and I believe you’ll see what I mean.
You said that they were constantly setting up jokes. In fact, the writer-director team started out with the 100% serious movie _Zero Hour!,_ and went through it scene-by-scene, turning every one into a joke, trying their hardest to use every single line of dialogue as the straight-line set-up for a punch line of their own. This is, for example, why Kareem Abdul-Jabbar plays the co-pilot; in _Zero Hour!_ the co-pilot role was played by a well-known former athlete turned actor. It's also why the jet airplane consistently emits the sound of a propeller engine plane - because that's the type of plane that was in _Zero Hour!_
At the time this movie was released, "PG" was the only rating that existed between "G" and "R". As the name suggested, parents were supposed to provide guidance to their children and judge for themselves when the children were ready to watch a specific movie. American parents were _not_ down with that! They wanted a ratings system that let them know exactly which movies they could use to offload their brats for 90 minutes, without them being exposed to any challenging thoughts or any concepts that might need… _explaining_ later. And that's how "PG-13" was invented and "PG" started to assume its modern meaning of "for little kids, but not necessarily for _babies."_
10:12 That Japanese General is hanging on the wall behind you.
Yeah, we didn't realize that until it was too late. Dan remembered it later, and I felt silly for not recognizing James Hong!
Did they notice it was James Hong who did the ritualistic s**cide? lol he's on the poster directly behind them
This certainly is a movie you have to watch several times in order to catch every joke and innuendo. Liked the vid. 👍🏻
The announcers arguing at the beginning were a married couple that actually worked at announcers at LAX.
Throughout the movie they played the sound of turboprop engines in the background even though it was a jet.
The scene with the hysterical woman (also taken straightly from Zero Hour) was originally much shorter, with only the stewardess and one passenger trying to "snap her out of it". But the actress playing the woman came up with the idea of a whole queue of people trying to calm her down by increasingly violent means. Unfortunately it brought her one real slap, the second one from Leslie Nielsen, because he did it in the spur of the moment and she wasn't ready for that one. But overall kudos to her for making an average scene into an absolutely hillarious classic.
I figured at least one of those slaps had to be real, because accidents always happen. Good on the directing crew for trying out the suggestions of their acting crew, that's the sign of a group that works well together!
In every scene, Elaine looks like she's about to get hit by a car. That shocked expression with the wide eyes. Just like the expression when you read the electricity bill and are not sure whether a comma belongs somewhere.
She does doesn't she? Well....except for after when she "re-inflated" Otto. haha!
There is so much humor in this movie that depends on knowing pop culture of the 70s and earlier. You missed maybe 30% of it. Glad you guys could still enjoy it. This movie was a remake (not a parody...a remake) of the turgid melodrama "Zero Hour!" Zero Hour was so terrible a lot of the dialog and scenes were taken directly from the original...and are hilarious. There are some scene-for-scene comparisons on TH-cam between Airplane! and Zero Hour!
At the time this was made, there were major national scandals about air traffic controllers having nervous breakdowns on the job (hence, madcap Johnny) and controllers using narcotics (hence, "I picked a bad week to give up....").
That Japanese soldier was James Fong. Fong has probably appeared in more movies than any other actor in history. His most recent movie was "Everything Everywhere All at Once." You have a poster of him on the wall behind you.
This was the first comedy move for the dramatic actors Peter Graves, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, and Lloyd Bridges. Their careers in dramas had been waning when they made this movie, but became renown as comedic actors afterward.
This is one of the best reactions I've seen to this hilarious classic! It's also my first time with your channel, so if you haven't already done so, please react to Blazing Saddles. You will get many more great laughs!
Thank you very much. We have indeed watched blazing saddles on this channel, and it was hilarious like you said. I'll leave a link here to the video if you wish to watch it. Thank you for watching with us! Blazing Saddles Reaction: th-cam.com/video/pt566jSY5L4/w-d-xo.html
They already got you covered. How’s that for service?
A few years prior to this airliner disaster film were all over the place. They spoofed "Airport 1975" with the sick girl and nun playing music. The original Airport and Airport 1975 are a fun watch.
The boy in the cockpit scene was also in the movie "Zero Hour", well, except for the skeevy questions.
I saw this in 1980 in the theater. Never saw an audience laugh so long and so hard for so long. You guys got a lot more of the jokes than many others who reacted to this.
They just don’t make them like this anymore. And they never will again.
Fun reaction.
Respectfully disagree. Naked Gun, Hot Shots, Not Another Teen Movie, Tropic Thunder...
@@Aeroldoth3 Those movies had elements of Airplane humor, but Airplane stands alone because almost 100% of the jokes hit dead on. You can't say that for those movies you mentioned. You just can't beat the original.
Pretty good work from three Zionists from Milwaukee, eh?
Mad mad mad mad world is pretty funny
I hope you guys keep your channel going. Your reactions are really entertaining.
So many jokes you can watch it over and over and keep catching new ones 😅
That's probably the highest score i've seen yet in terms of catching all the little quips and sight-gags, all the absurdities. Awesome reaction, really. 'Glad you caught that little closer after the titles.
This is probably the best reaction i've seen yet to Airplane! -
You won my subscription with this one. Thanks -

This is a PS:
Subbed and checked out your videos - there's a couple comedies i didn't see on your list that I think you'd enjoy.

Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker chose actors such as Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, and Leslie Nielsen because of their reputation for playing no-nonsense characters. Until this movie, these actors had not done comedy so their "straight-arrow" personas and line delivery made the satire in the movie all the more poignant and funnier. Bridges was initially reluctant to take his role in the movie, but his sons persuaded him to do so.
The "I gotta get out of here!" scene where a stewardess tries to calm down a hysterical passenger was actually improvised on the spot. The original scene, based on a scene from Zero Hour! (1957), only called for the stewardess to try to calm her and then another passenger tells the stewardess that he will handle this and then slaps her, with the joke ending there. Lee Bryant, playing the hysterical woman, suggested to the directors that the gag should be extended to bring in other annoyed passengers forming a "slap line." Although they liked the idea, they were hesitant to do it fearing Bryant might get hurt. However, they agreed to try it and even added in props (boxing gloves, tire iron, revolver, etc.) for the passengers. After briefly rehearsing it, they kept it in the movie after one take. According to Bryant, Leslie Nielsen's second slap was not rehearsed or expected and he really hit her, though not intentionally.
They don't make funny movies like this one anymore.
Even after watching it multiple times you may find jokes in it that you missed on earlier watches.
I don't no if you 2 have seen it but
The movie
National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon
Is really a fun spoof movie.
Fun fact - Leslie Nielsen was hired because Christopher Lee turned the role down, when he was offered the airplane role Lee was already in talks to do the film '1941' for spielberg alongside john belushi, dan aykroyd, and a tonne of others. His agent assured him 1941 would be the bigger hit but... well, time makes fools of us all eventually.
Now this is classic Comedy.
Absolutely. I'm definitely gonna watch this one over and over now that I'm cultured by it!
Wow. It looks like you recognized Ethel Merman!
I remember these types of movies this is where movies should be. Unapologetic. It's an escape.
The airplanes in his flashbacks are from total different eras. Starting from 1900 until 1970. 🤣
I want to tell you both good luck, we’re all counting on you.
I know a couple months ago when I found your guys' channel I commented and said I love your guys's chemistry ❤ you guys still got it! 👍🏻😆 You guys are great!
Y'all didn't notice the propeller noise from the plane.
It was a jet airplane
😂😂
All the times I have seen this movie, I noticed something for the first time. In the opening scene with Elaine and the guy with the flower, there was a bit of foreshadowing. Her jacket had the First Officer 3 stripes on the cuff. 🤣
Awesome. You're one of the very few who watched the post-credit scene. Nicely done.
Thanks, I can't believe people are giving up on post credits, there are so many hidden gems in there!
Yeah it's kind of sad they don't make comedies like this anymore! 😢💔 This movie is a gem! 💎😍
Trivia - airliners only get a small part of their deceleration from brakes. Its mostly from reverse thrust. As a fighter pilot flying bombing missions whose age matches up with Vietnam, but whose flashbacks inexplicably only involve WW2 aircraft and earlier, Ted would not know about the reversers.
In the movie Zero Hour, the pilot was a WW2 vet.
At 20:43 - I'm guessing you liked that "at least I have a husband joke"? 😂😅
Just last year I was on a plane and the gentleman next to me quoted this movie. We traded lines from this movie off and on throughout the flight.
"Win one for The Super Zipper..." Many miss the part where the Stryker explains his guilt for having lead his fighter squadron on a mission that got his friend, Zipper, killed. It just so happens that Leslie Nielsen's character was at Zipper's beside and so he told the story to Stryker - hence, striker got motivated to land the airplane and "win one for The Zipper."
5:57 There’s an almost identical scene in the 1958 disaster film “Crash Landing”. The only differences are two children instead of two adults, and three words added at the end.
I feel like if I watched Crash landing at that particular scene, I would have flashbacks of Airplane, and not be satisfied until those three words were said! haha :D
Great! It is very interesting to see your reaction to the film Robocop 1987. This is a cool movie 👍🔥🦾
Can't believe June Cleaver speaks Jive. 18:58
There's airplane 2, Top Secret (my favorite), Police Files: The Naked Gun. 1, 2, 3 (best Leslie Nelson) then Hot Shot 1&2 (Charlie Sheen being Charlie Sheen)
Top secret was great!

All the weird questions referencing homoeroticism stem from them being in the COCKpit.
The speech/pep talk by the doctor is directly referencing the Ronald Reagan movie “Knute Rockne, All-American” set at Notre Dame University and their football team. There’s a scene when the Reagan’s character, George Gipp, is dying and tells his teammates to “Go out there and win one for The Gipper.” Reagan was running for President when this was released and used the George Gipp quote while on the campaign trail. Hence the Notre Dame fight song being used.
In the ‘70’s, airports allowed religious groups to solicit in the terminals, and it finally got so ridiculously full of whackadoodles that they banned it. My dad and I flew to Jerusalem in 1978 when I was 11, and we were accosted by *nine* different people looking for donations. My dad was an easy going man, but after the 9th person, who wouldn’t take No for an answer, he hit his limit and snapped at them, who got all butthurt and whinged that he didn’t have to be rude about it.
It'll be different...
Like it was in the beginning 🤣
The movie so offensive, there was no way anyone could be offended! Great reaction to a great movie!
Heres some facts about that pilot on the bonus features for the movie. In a interview he said when they where filming those scenes. He keep one eye on the exit just incase he had to make a run for his life. Because even he was expecting people to go after him as he said his lines.
Then that one airline worker that keep doing an saying random things. The writers an directors knew him an knew he would come up with funnier things then. They could think up so he had no planned out lines. He was told someone is going to say or tell you to do something. Then do whatever comes to mind. Im talking about the one that unplugged the lights.
Then this movie had 3 writers an directors. In cases of argument the majority won. They put so many jokes in on perpus they figured if you didn't get one. The next one may so it was planned out. Then there is a deleted scene that takes place at the start of the movie.
The setup is you see a no high jacking sign. Then you see a old couple then the wife sees someone. Then goes o look its Jack then the husband waves an says high Jack. Then the husband gets tackled by security. This was cut out because 2 of the 3 didn't think it was funny enough to be in the movie.
Then when it comes to Leslie Nielsen. He was a natural joker he always carried around a portable fart machine. Then use it at random times he even gave the entire cast of this movie one. To the point that before filming the film crew had to have everyone hand them over. So they could film the movie then get home at a reasonable time. Because if they didn't it would be non stop fart sounds. Ruining scenes nonstop.
The Pilot's lines were hilarious, and I gotta give the young kid credit for staying focused during these scenes. Moments like this would not even be considered now a days, so I am glad somebody made it happen, other wise it wouldn't give any real shock value. I think I agree with taking out the scene involving the no high jacking, this movie had way too much to keep up with, and it might be too much, other wise, I think it's clever personally. Thanks for the fun facts, these are the kind of movies that always have the best behind the scenes info that make the movie that much more special. Always a pleasure hearing from you!
@83shadow3 - That was excruciating to read. Misspellings, improper tense, poor punctuation, bad grammar.
@@cup_cuppy_cuppers5817 You are aware of the fact that something. Called autocorrect has a bad habit of altering the things that. You type right because if you did not. That is basically common knowledge to everyone else that uses things with autocorrect on it. They know an understand that you can literally an figuratively type one thing. Then as soon as you hit enter or send or post. Autocorrect may completely change it on its own.
So the fact you don't understand this means that you're a excruciating person. To have a conversation with because you go after people for things beyond their control. Because if you have ever typed something out on something. Then hit enter or send or post then autocorrect changed it on you. Then you have no right to say anything about another person's comment. Because the same thing has happened to you so that makes you a hypocrite.
So feel free to leave comments like the one you replied. To yourself because alot basically 99.9 percent of other people do. If they feel that way about a comment they just ignore it an move on. Only 00.1 percent of people send replies or leave comments like yours. That means you literally and figuratively most have nothing in your life to focus on. If this is the kind of thing you spend your time on. You may want to think about that it's a you an only you problem.
@@83shadow3 - Imagine blaming Autocorrect for bad punctuation, grammar and tense. lolol.
@@cup_cuppy_cuppers5817 Imagine being the 00.1 percent of people out there. That doesn't understand that autocorrect can make a simple sentence like. He went to the store then autocorrect changes it to. He wants that store. Because 99.9 percent of people out there understand this simple fact. But that 00.1 percent of people don't because. They think that they are better an smarter than everyone else. When they are not they are just what people call busy buddies. That have nothing better to do than look for things to criticize people over. Even though there is actual things beyond their control. That can change things without them knowing it without their control. With actual prof it happens but that 00.1 percent of people. Ignore that because they like going after people for any reason. Because they have nothing happening in their lives. That makes that 00.1 percent of people that's you look really sad if this is. All you have to complain about in life.
Some brilliant, some stupid. Either way, they never stop comin'!
Some brilliantly stupid, some stupidly brilliant.
Glad to see you watched it all the way to the end and got the post-credits scene. There are jokes hidden in the credits too.
I figured a movie like this would have a little something extra. I went back to look at the credits, the only thing I found was The author of a tale of two cities by Charles Dickens buried in the credits. what else might we find?
@@CocktailFlicksI thought there was a brownie recipe, but it may be another movie. After the “property of” disclaimer at the end of the credits it does say “So there.”

I know, We didn't even recognize him until it was too late. Not our finest moment, but there was so much going on, it just went right past both of us!
A while back I was having a medical issue and my doctor told me to go to the ER. I did and the nurse asked what my issue was. I said I was having an issue with my bowels and she said, "What is it?"
I could not resist and said, "It's a long tube inside you where your food goes, but that's not important right now."
Her face slowly transitioned from astonishment do delight and she said, "I can't believe that just happened." and she started laughing. She said she had seen that movie for the first time just the night before, when her boyfriend played it for her.
I saw her several times telling other people what had happened and a few hours later as we were leaving the hospital I saw her outside the ER talking to I assumed her boy friend telling him what had happened.
What are the chances of quoting a 42 year old movie to someone who had seen it for the first time just the night before?
The horse in the bed is from the godfather
Ted was teaching basketball to the Harlem Globtrotters.
Whilst they are pulling some slick Globetrotter moves, I rather think it is not actually them.
I didn't know that and I've seen this so much I know it by heart. Thank you 😅
Top Secret! Is my fav as well.
That's the one with Val Kilmer right!
I was 6 when this came out so Randy the stewardess ( Lorna Patterson, actually a hot grandma now) was a driving force in my progressing boyhood.
I believe that. She's a beautiful woman. I wasn't born until 1983, but as I got older, I came to appreciate some of the beautiful movie stars from before me, so I don't blame you at all!
As others mentioned, this is a scene-for-scene spoof of the drama "Zero Hour!". Some videos on TH-cam have the original and the parody scenes played in sequence for comparison. Well worth you guys checking it out.
Rarely do reviewers even notice the sound of a propeller driven plane instead of jets, but NEVER do they notice the pilot grinding gears shifting.
Check out the scene where the plane crashes through the window. There is woman who throws her baby up in the air while running.
This movie is taken scene for scene from the melodrama zero hour The zuckers bought the rights to zero hour so they could do this. If you see zero hour this movie gets even funnier. Zero hour was written by the guy who later did airport.
Watching the Big Lebowski's dad be addicted to cigarettes, booze meth and GLUE!!!
Airplane 2 is the sequel.
I love how no one ever notices that the plane is a jet but most of its sound effects are of a prop plane.
Awesome Movie and Work Guys, Thanks 👍👍👍👍 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
I wonder how many get the joke about the jars of Mayonnaise stacked on shelves behind the doctor talking on the phone at the Mayo Clinic. There is such a place called the Mayo Clinic founded in 1864 in Rochester, New York.
I did .
This film wins the award for, " Criminal mis-use of Academy Award Nominee James Howe."
There are two jokes most people don't get. The first is when she says "most of all it takes respect," meaning "you need to respect me." But then she says "I can't live with a man I don't respect" haha. The second is when she's reminiscing about sitting on his face and how the days were made just for them and then says "not if you insist on living in the past!"
I wish I was friends with you guys. So funny. 😂
Did they just put down Julie Hagerty's acting? They really don't know who she is. A comedy legend.
It seems like a lot of people miss that she’s doing that on purpose.
Blame me, I'm the one who said it. I was wrong though, she was great, and now I understand the point of that scene!
ladies, did you figure out how to fix autopilot? 😅
Don't forget, this was before the days of PG-13. This one didn't go quite far enough to be an R, so it ended up PG.
I watched this with my dad when i was a kid... i was pretty small like 8 or some thing. Every other scene my dad laugh loudly, i asked what was so funny, and every time the response was "No its so stupid, its really not funny"
Hope you guys watch the Naked Gun trilogy next! It’s by the same team with the same humor:)
You have good intuition, because, We will be watching the first one very soon actually. Thanks for the recommendation!
1:46 That was the whole point of that scene.
This movie is a riot just looking for a place to break out.
The Ronald Reagan film must have been "Bedtime for Bonzo".
Knute Rockne: All American. Zip Gyp.
Every 10 to 15 years, since the 40s there were people saying that certain types of movies cant be shown 'today'. Meanwhile, there are writers and directors planning to show the next batch of 'outlawed' movies. The rating systems have changed throughout the years. that people still getting away with saying and doing ridiculous stuff, does not change ... thankfully.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
You're welcome, Thanks for watching with us!
Obscure Minor Background Cameo: A young Jonathan Banks of Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul fame is one of the background actors in the air control tower.
Good thing that poisoning took out the pilots, otherwise Ted would have killed the entire plane with his stories!
Leslie Nielsen (the doctor) was a Very Serious Actor before Airplane.
Airplane II is also funny but isn't made by ZAZ (Zucker/Abrams/Zucker). The next movie they made was "Top Secret." This was Val Kilmer's first movie, and it was hilarious.
It's the first time I see a reaction where people seem to actually get almost every joke!
You definetly need to do "Top secret" with Val Kilmer, anyway.
This EXACT situation is why the pilot and copilot have to have different meals. (Steak vs Fish in this case, one would have to have steak while the other has fish.) Even though nowadays the food served on airlines (when there is food served) is far safer than it ever was, you don't want both pilots out of commission in case there is a problem with the food. I learned this from "Air Disasters" on the Smithsonian channel, because, guess what, this particular situation led to an air disaster.
Ah, yes, I remember. I had the lasagna.
