Synopsis

Voted "one of the 10 funniest movies ever made" by the American Film Institute, "Airplane!" is a masterpiece of off-the-wall comedy. Featuring Robert Hays as an ex-fighter pilot forced to take over the controls of an airliner when the flight crew succumbs to food poisoning; Julie Hagerty as his girlfriend/stewardess/co-pilot; and a cast of all-stars including Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Leslie Nielsen, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar...and more! The hilarious high jinks spoof airplane disaster flicks, religious zealots, television commercials, romantic love...the lists whirls by in rapid succession. And the story races from one moment of zany fun to the next!

Review

A dash of Marx Brothers, a taste of Chaplin, a whole lot of Three Stooges slapstick, and puns, puns and more puns are the ingredients for this send-up of every airplane disaster film from Zero Hour to Airport.

This non-stop laugh fest relentlessly hits us over the head with jokes. There are so many jokes, in fact, that blinking is not advised. Besides the million or so laughs, this is the film which first introduced Nielsen as a comic actor - let's give thanks for that, too. Cameos include Beaver's mom Barbara Billingsley and Ethel Merman.

And for over-the-top camp, you can't beat Stephen Stucker's visciously queenie portrayal of Johnny, the air-traffic controller. When asked by a reporter what type of aircraft is in distress, he retorts with: "Well, it's a big pretty white plane with a red stripe, curtains at the windows, and wheels, and it looks like a big Tylenol!"

Favorite Line

"Chump don't want no hep, chump don't get de hep. Jive ass fool ain't got no brains anyhow." --Barbara Billingsley as Jive Lady
