When the crew and many passengers of an airliner fall sick, it's up to an ex-war pilot to land them safely. A spoof of airline disaster movies .

HILARIOUS to me the funniest movie in the world.Food poisoning strikes the crew and passengers of a 747, and it is up to a former fighter pilot, his old flame, and an uncouth doctor to land the plane safely. |

Oh goodness, the Zucker/Abraham duo are at it again, bringing together the most zany of characters in the most ridiculous situations. Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty are hysterical together and Leslie Nielsen was only funnier in the "Naked Gun" series. I loved this spoof and recommend it to anyone. |

Whoever made "Disater Movie" can learn form this. |

Airplane! is a spoof of many modern big-budget disaster films from the 1970's, specifically Airport 75, which it imitates, in a hysterical way. In a previous review, I commented that you must see Airplane! to appreciate the humor of Airport 75. But equally important, Airplane! stands the test of time, flying on very humorous gags, some slapstick, and some clever subtleties as well. This is a movie that must be seen more than once to catch all the jokes. Some of them fall flat, but most of them are laugh-out loud funny.
The story involves a neurotic pilot who was responsible for a wartime airplane accident. Haunted by his past, he tries to win back his girlfriend who is a stewardess. They end up on the same flight together, and the film takes the viewer to some romantic flashbacks with ... |

Watch multiple times to catch every joke |

"Ted Striker" (Robert Hays) has tracked down his ex-girlfriend "Elaine Dickinson" (Julie Hagerty) to the airport she works out of, and purchases a ticket on her flight to talk to her despite having a fear of flying since flying in the war. While on board to talk to "Elaine", the flight crew, and some passengers, come down with a very serious case of food poisoning, and he has to conquer his fear very quickly to safely land the airplane with the help of his former superior officer who is talking him down from Chicago Air Traffic Control.
Airplane! is one of the craziest movies you will ever see. There are way too many sight gags, slapsticK and funny one-liners in the film, which will require that you watch it over and over and over again.
The all-star cast is hilariously fantastic,... |
