AIRPLANE! Movie Description:
This spoof comedy takes shots at the slew of disaster movies that were released in the 70s. When the passengers and crew of a jet are incapacitated due to food poisoning, a rogue pilot with a drinking problem must cooperate with his ex-girlfriend turned stewardess to bring the plane to a safe landing.
Airplane! (alternatively titled Flying High!) is a 1980 American parody film written and directed by David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams, and produced by Jon Davison. It stars Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty and features Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Lorna Patterson. The film is a parody of the disaster film genre, particularly the 1957 Paramount film Zero Hour!, from which it borrows the plot and the central characters, as well as many elements from Airport 1975 and other films in the Airport film series. The film is known for its use of surreal humor and its fast-paced slapstick comedy, including visual and verbal puns, gags, and obscure humor.
Airplane! was released by Paramount Pictures and was a critical and financial success, grossing $158 million worldwide against a budget of $3.5 million. The film's creators received the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Adapted Comedy, and nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy and for the BAFTA Award for Best Screenplay.
In the years since its release, the film's reputation has grown substantially. The film was ranked 6th on Bravo's '100 Funniest Movies'. In a 2007 survey by Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, it was judged the second-greatest comedy of all time, behind Monty Python's Life of Brian. In 2008, it was selected by Empire magazine as one of 'The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time' and in 2012 was voted #1 on the 'The 50 Funniest Comedies Ever' poll. In 2010, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Great reaction jokes are thick an fast in this movie glad you enjoyed it an merry Xmas from the UK 👍
We have all seen this movie. Less movie footage and more reaction = longer video. Doing a pretty good job with that already.
Sorry but you missed the last one. After the credits... dudes still in the cab waiting.
Damn That’s My Fault
@@HelloMellowXVI Not a criticism. Just figured you'd find it funny.
The husband and wife arguing about the zones over the PA system are the actual people who recorded the red/white zone announcement that LAX was playing at the time. And they were actually a married couple. I've read that they had a lot of fun parodying themselves for the movie.
The woman's voice is actually the woman who voiced iiPHONE SIRI
Also the dialogue about the abortion came from a discount romance novel one of the writers bought in a nearby pharmacy. They flipped through the book, found that scene and ran with it.
@@Mckatt2 Just made a suggestion he do less of that and just laugh with the rest of us! ;)
@@AtomicZn I thought the dialogue was from Airport
That's really cool
the "i speak jive" lady was best known as the mom on "Leave it to Beaver." that is the joke; get the whitest person possible from the whitest SHOW possible to play off two black guys.
probably my FAVORITE bit in a movie FULL of very funny bits.
Now we know how Old you are.... LOL
Barbara Billingsley
The mom from "Leave it to Beaver."
@Mr. Davenport they roared, my uncle told me all about it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The line "I _am_ serious, and don't call me Shirley!" became the most famous line of Leslie Nielsen's career, and he made it the title of his autobiography.
And he used to pop his head into the flightdeck of any plane he was on and say it - just to put a smile on the crew's faces
Surely you can't be serious?
@@jcstato9048 He is, and don’t call him Shirley
@@ALJ9000 EXACTLY the response I wanted lol
He also used it in Scary Movie 3.
[Spear flies into cork board.] YOU: "What the fuck was that for?!" ME: "It's for piercing objects over a long distance, but that's not important right now."
This comment deserves more likes 😂
THATS FUCKING HILLARIOUS
I think I love you for this.
@@Navesblue [Takes a bow.]
Fun fact: I don't know if this was the case at the time, but now it's illegal for the captain and co-captain to choose the same meal for this very reason.
It is because of this movie.
@@wombatmommy5515 Cool! I didn't know that. It's fun to think that such a ridiculous comedy could actually make such a serious impact like that.
Well, it was already a regulation at that time, but it wasn't at the time of a much earlier movie called Zero Hour, which Airplane is heavily based on, to the point that it replicates some scenes from that movie almost shot for shot, albeit for the sake of comedy
Nobody obeys that rule actually. -a captain
@@ChickenCustomer Well that's less than reassuring. Of course, I shouldn't be surprised...considering they're about 3 sheets to the wind half the time.
When they dubbed the movie for Germany, they dubbed the Jive Talking in the Bavarian dialect of German and the audiences laughed hard because other Germans can't understand Bavarians.
I love that it had a useable allegory for the joke.
German here. Can confirm. This change saved the joke in translation. :D
Niemand hoket Schwabisch?
Never heard this! That's awesome
and it was subbed too for germans ;)
"We have clearance, Clarence." "Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?"
I was talking about math vectors in engineering today and the guy across the aisle gave me that line. Us old farts keep it going.
That's the funniest part of the movie for me. I can't even think it through before I start chuckling.
Capt. Oveur ( to tower ): Roger Roger: What?
Navigator Vector to tower: request clearance over? Pilot Clarence Ouver: that’s Clarence Ouver! Navigator Vector: Roger Copilot Roger: huh? Tower: Roger over Pilot Ouver: huh? Copilot Roger: what? Pilot Ouver: who?
Fun fact: the jive talk was mostly improvised by the actors because ZAZ (the writers) didn't think they were sufficient enough in conversational "black street slang". One of my favorite bits in the movie. Easily.
Also, all the bits with Johnny were improvised, since the man who was a close friend of ZAZ, just straight up refused to learn lines, but they knew he was hilariously funny, so they would just write lead ins for him and let him do his thing
I remember they said the whole “jive talk” was influenced by the writers when they saw Shaft and didn’t understand a thing anyone was saying 🤣😂
you want an even funnier detail? That Jive Lady, the old woman who spoke jive, was Barbara Billingsley, the actress who played June Cleaver on 'Leave It To Beaver'
@@fireblast133that is the whole joke of the scene, they explicitly went and got the whitest actor from the whitest tv show they could find because of the hilarious contrast of her talking jive
Golly.
Everyone talks about what a great comedian Leslie Nielsen was, but what a lot of folks don't realize is that he _wasn't_ a comedian. He'd already had a long career as a dramatic actor, and hadn't thought of doing comedy. But he was approached for this film, as well as Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, and Peter Graves - all dramatic actors. And the main problem was that the actors wanted to _be funny,_ which was NOT what the directors wanted. They told the actors they had to play their parts perfectly straight, or else it wouldn't work. And they were right! (Also, the film is based almost word-for-word on an old movie called "Zero Hour".)
Most people think its based on Airport, but no its Zero Hour. So glad someone else knows this. The writers record late night commercials to spoof, and fell asleep. Zero hour was recorded and they watched it and then they made this. Ive seen Zero hour and its actually a decent drama. Watch Leslie Nielsen in Forbidden Plant, which is basically Shakespeare's The Tempest.
I know! I took a film elective in high school and we watched The Poseidon Adventure, High Noon, then Airplane. My group presented on Airplane, so I made sure to mention that Leslie Nielsen was a dramatic actor in the former, and Lloyd Birdges was in the latter (he was the deputy guy)
@@richardsturges2736 It's understandable why people would think it was based on Airport, since that movie had been a hit just a few years before.
Yeah they bought the rights to Zero Hour! for a ridiculously cheap amount just to make sure they wouldn't be sued then everyone thinks it's a parody of a different film. Bonus fact after the film the directors bought a horse and called it "it's all pink" and told the jokey don't worry about winning just hug the inside line to force the commentator to say.... It's all pink on the inside. That's what I heard anyway and I pray to God it's true.
@@baguaboy4042 That did happen. One of the people involved in making "Airplane!" told this story in an interview. He started by saying "How far would these guys go for a joke?"...
2 fun facts: they added "so there" to the FBI anti-piracy warning, and the FBI wasn't happy they didn't take the warning "seriously" with adding those words. The other fun fact is that if you finish the ending credits, the guy is STILL sitting in his car waiting for Ted Striker to return.
The guy sitting in the cab was the director of LAX at the time.
@@nathangonzalez9710 Howard Jarvis, the California anti-tax activist who spearheaded the passage of property-tax limiting Proposition 13 in 1978, is the passenger in Ted Striker's taxi - not the airport director
@@Trek001 Yes!
"I'll give him a few more minutes."
@@Trek001 too bad California is one of the worst states in USA for taxes these days
"I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you."
Nielson repeated that line at the end of Scary Movie 3
If you are confused about why Kareem Jabbar is hiding his identity in this movie, it's because the film is a parody of a 1957 film "Zero Hour". In Zero Hour, NFL star Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hersch plays the co-pilot, despite having no prior acting experience. He's basically in the role of a pilot for no reason, and there is no reference to his NFL career. So in this film, the joke is that Abdul-Jabbar is trying to just play the role of a pilot, but everyone keeps recognizing him as an NBA player, and he ultimately can't keep that aspect hidden.
Before 9/11 people asking for charitable donations and passing out religious pamphlets could go all over the airport. It got to the point that it was really annoying.
Wow That’s Crazy Didn’t Even Know That
Before 9/11. You could go "into that little room where the pilot sits" even if you weren't on the flight but your friend or family member were. It was cool looking in the cockpit. Airports were a lot different back then.
@@HelloMellowXVI One time in the mid '70s at O'Hare Airport, they used to drop fake bills on the floor. A Hare Krishna asked my dad for a donation. My dad gave the Hare Krishna a fake $20 dollar bill he found on the floor. The hare Krishna said: "This is phony" to which my dad replied "So are you". And walked away.
Yeah, that was really annoying back then.......so anyway, I'd like to talk to you about your extended vehicle warranty......
@@garysmith3037 - with that extended warranty. Does that cover the horse & buggy?? Or only 2 halves of a coconut so I can bang them together to pretend to have a horse while pulling my buggy. Can I have answer will fast?? Have to churn the butter & put up a barn by sundown.
One of the things that made this movie so funny was they got famous, serious actors ( Leslie Nielsen, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves etc...) and had them play it totally straight while insanity ensued around them. It was a truly unique film.
"Boy, I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue!"
Also Robert Stack.
He called the acting "Meh", which leads me to believe he didn't get the deadpan humour. He compared it to the Mel Brooks comedies, where the comedy was more broad.
Its kinda weird thinking of Leslie Nielsen as a serious dramatic actor after this, but you watch his earlier roles like Forbidden Planet, the man had range and absolutely barrels of charisma
Definitely unique in that this comedy had multiple straight men.
This movie still holds up over time. Even to this day when I drink something and it randomly spills on my face I retort with "damn... I have a drinking problem". You know a comedy is good when 40-50 years later it's relevant and makes you laugh uncontrollably.
Few people catch on to the fact that this is a jet plane, but the engine noises you hear are propellers. :D "Already we just hitting the absurdity" - Airplane! is the movie that defined "absurdity" for all movies to come. I have probably seen this movie more than 100 times, and it still cracks me up every time.
My dad's was small plane pilot..when we saw this together we busted up..
and the jets call letters were different..
This movie came out in 1980, and people still quote lines to this day, especially “and don’t call me Shirley” “I picked he wrong week to stop sniffing glue.” I really enjoy your reactions! A lot of these are movies from my childhood, thank you for reacting to them. 😎
Thank You So Much. I'm So Happy To Hear We Can Connect Through Laughter
Whenever I drink something and I spill it on my face(not ofren) I say I feel like Robert Hayes in airplane.
Guess I picked the wrong week to stop watching KZhead....
@@HelloMellowXVI great reaction, and finally a reactor who recognized Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Am I getting that old? Guy's still a legend. This movie was absurd, and one of the first of it's kind. It was all so dead pan, the actors themselves had zero clue what they were getting involved in, or that the material itself was even funny, which is how the director wanted it.
There was an emergency on an actual airplane and the pilot said the sniffing glue line to the other pilots. (Southwest flight 1248)
Cleveland's unofficial motto is "At least we aren't Detroit"
Chicago too.
The official motto used to be "Best Location in the Nation". Thanks for the Cleveland mention.
Ohio and Florida should volunteer to be shipped in big land blocks to terraform Mars. Good luck, see ya next Tuesday. Bubye.
The “drinking problem” bit is my favorite.
I'm impressed you knew who Jimmy Walker was. There is a lot of humor in this show that was specific to the time. Like the old white lady that can speak Jive. That was June Cleaver. Haha.
Barbara Billingsley
That kids line "I like it black, like my men" fucking kills me everytime. Not to mention the cockpit stuff. This movie is just so good, it'd NEVER be made nowadays though.
My fav is when the old lady asks him if he is nervous. lol
And the woman at the information desk asking, 'Should I fake my orgasms in future?'
i wish they had more questions from Captain Oveur lol
I was backpacking around Asia years ago and stuck in this little port in Cambodia during a storm. Waves were lashing up at the windows of this waiting room all the boat passengers were in as we listened announcements about the storm and boats being stranded etc. At one point I turned to the guy sitting next to me and said, “I guess I chose the wrong day to quit sniffing glue” and he got up and moved seats. Probably not an Airplane fan.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Should've asked him if he liked movies about gladiators....
@@leslauner5062 ... or to pinch you.
Kind of unrelated, but back when I would go to the gym and use the sauna, occasionally if someone else was in there, I would say, "Man, it's like a sauna in here." No one ever got it.
Did you also ask him to pinch you to make sure you weren't dreaming?
I definitely enjoyed your take on the movie, glad you enjoyed it. Just one minor thing, at 6:37, it's obviously Roger Murdock that came on board the plane, a simple pilot, not this Kareem fellow, honest mistake.
I've seen this movie a hundred times since the 80's, but watching you watch it makes me feel like I'm watching it for the first time. Same with Mel Brooks, and Monty Python. Thanks for letting me watch these movies through your fresh eyes. Some more movies for you: History of the World: Part One (Brooks), The Meaning of Life (Python), and Kentucky Fried Movie (These guys again.)
Another understated movie like this is 'Top Secret'. Spoofs a weird combination of WWII movies and '60s Elvis movies. Funny as hell.
Don't you mean "underrated"? Because if there's one thing "Airplane" is NOT, it's understated! :D
Lots of movies in this genre. Hot shots 1 and 2. Top Secret. Naked Gun.. pretty much everything written and directed by David Zucker
HA! One of my favorites!
Now I wanna go skeet surfing
You took the words outta my yapper, @@Serai3! Top Secret! is also FAR from "understated"!
Absolutely timeless. This has to be near the top of the jokes per second scale, from visual gags to puns. It just doesn't let up for a minute!
Don't like this joke? Don't worry there's another one coming in a couple of seconds.
"Police Squad!" also starring Leslie Nielsen has so many more jokes per minute and it stopped airing because a guy who owned the compay making the series said there were so many jokes people would not have time to react.
And that's it's almost a shot for shot remake/parody of Zero Hour!
@@hengineer With the "accidental" copy of the beach scene in From Here to Eternity.
Fun fact: at around 20 seconds between average laughs, this movie is objectively the funniest in history!
His reaction to the lady butchering Aretha was priceless, lol.
🤣🤣🤣
I'm really happy you noticed Kareem. Most kids nowadays have no idea.
It’s Shame Too, He Means So Much To The History Of African Americans
So, when my buddy was getting married, we're walking into the rehearsal and I look over and ask him "nervous?" He laughs and says "yeah, dude." I naturally respond "first time?" He misses the reference, says "yes, I've never been married, you know that!" I softly drop my head and reply "oh, I was asking if it was your first time being nervous, cuz I've been nervous lots of times." He started laughing so hard, stopped and said "and now I'm no longer nervous. Damn you." With a big shit eating grin on his face. Best airplane reference of my life
That's So Amazing. Thank You Lml 🤗
It's a credit to the writers that they could reuse one joke, the literal interpretation, over and over but still keep it funny. Also, the spear in the wall is a callback to the driving scene when they were being chased by Indians. Two jokes people often miss are when the plane crashes through the window near the beginning, a woman throws her baby in the air as she's driving for cover. And whenever they show an exterior shot of the plane the sound is of propellers, not a jet.
Arent the guys on the runway the directors too?
@@Knightmessenger Yes.
The directors wanted a prop plane as Zero Hour had but the studio insisted it be a modern jet. So they just used prop sounds on that Tylenol to get their way. A whole new dimension of funny.
The car they were driving in was a Mustang. People miss the connection between car and wild horse
What makes this so good and funny it's a copy of a film where everything happens exactly the same and how they managed to make the jokes fit is pure genius...
I always associated the long running goodbye scene with an old movie about a train leaving... but I NEVER noticed the actual train sounds until you mentioned them... wow
5:16: "Whacking Material". OMG I never noticed that before.
You can watch this movie 20 times and find a new joke you’ve missed every other time
@@jasonv7151 You said it. At 5:26, the entire shelf behind the doctor is filled with jars and jars of Best Foods Mayonnaise.
@@suicunesolsan 'mayo clinic'
@@captin3149 HAHAHAHAHAHAH. XDXDXD
Damn! And I've been calling "adult" magazines "whacking material" ever since this movie came out. I noticed it right away (as any good pervert would...).
I must have watched this movie like 12 times before I realised that the whole way through the flight it's old school propeller noise even though its a jet!
so subtle, yet hilarious to those who notice.
Did you notice that Ted Striker is wearing Navy uniform but he was supposed to be in the Air Force?
@@clearsmashdrop5829 And all of his missions are named after alcoholic drinks.

“Sheiiit” being translated to ‘golly’ has to be my favorite joke in any movie ever
My favorite character from this movie is Johnny. Every time he appears it's pure magic.
Dude, you knocked this review out of the park. Your channel is fast becoming my favourite for reviews, you let the film run, and don't talk over the jokes. Total Respect mate.
Thank You So Much, I’m Definitely Trying To Find New Avenues To Show The Clips Longer
Did you pick up on the inflatables name ? Otto. Otto-pilot. 😂
Barbara Billingsley credited the actors who played the Jive Guys for giving her a crash course in "speaking Jive" and relaunching her career.
The funniest reaction to this movie I've seen, you're laugh is infectious.😂🤣
Also check out the end credits: besides listing the assistant called "Best Boy", they tell who was the "Worst Boy", and other things. Finally, the last scene is AFTER the credits!
Hot Shots did something similar with adding a recipe for sweet rolls or something like that, in the credits :D
Legendary composer Elmer Bernstein (Magnificent Seven, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Ten Commandments, The Great Escape) wrote the great score for this movie. Like everyone else, he was "playing it straight" and wrote a purely dramatic score instead of a "comedy" score.
Loving these reaction videos, great energy! Fun fact, the lady putting on her lipstick (rather unsuccessfully) is the director's mother. I actually saw this movie at a drive inn theater when it first came out. Was so awesome!
I’ve watched this movie 50 times, and have never noticed the train sound, @8:10, when the girl is running outside the plane. Also, I like your dubbing in a different song in the disco scene. Thoroughly enjoyed watching your review bro!
All the actors, were known for serious roles before this, so it was one of the jokes that they're all in this absurd comedy. Definitely gotta watch the Naked Gun trilogy!
You gotta do the Naked Gun films and maybe the Police Squad series...
And the Hot Shots films
Hey Mell! Not sure if you noticed @29:58. That's Jonathan Banks aka Mike Ehrmantraut from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul! I was 9 when this movie came out. Still one of the best. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I Was Thinking That Because He Looked Familiar
26:48 "how did you get that on the plane?" pre-9/11 the list of shit you could take on a plane was staggering
A lot of the same crew were responsible for The Naked Gun starring Leslie Nielsen. Just as absurd and so damn funny. Good shit man! Keep up the old comedy classics. Merry Christmas
The Naked Gun should be the second of this type watched.
"That's where family guy got that from". You didn't think family guy could ever come up with an original joke, did you?
Haaaaaaaaaa I felt this comment in my soul. Lol
Technically it is an original joke because the guy that created and directed this movie works on family guy.the zuckers
My favorite character was always Johnny (the "Rapunzel" man). His bits were always my favorites, especially pulling the plug on the runway lights.
Watched that movie at 12-13 on a ferry from Belgium to England. Felt like the whole ship laughed their azz off watching this movie.
Breh, you're making me feel old. But if you liked this you gotta try Top Secret starring Val Kilmer.
Now THAT is an oldie but a goodie 😂
YES! Top Secret is my favorite from the Zucker Bros.
Top Secret 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@thefunkybuddha69 ❤🔥❤Same here, I also suggested it
Top Secret -- with the French Resistance behind the Berlin Wall
Leslie Nielsen was also in the sci-fi movie "Forbidden planet". That movie is pretty old and has a lot fewer effects than movies today, but at least it has got a pretty good plotline.
Yes, prior to this film, Neilson was known as a highly respected dramatic character actor. Airplane marked the point where he switched to comedy. As for Forbidden Planet, it has pretty amazing special effects for the 1950s
One of the best version of Shakespeare's "The Tempest." Also the debut of Robby the Robot. "Forbidden Planet" is one of the best science fiction movies ever made.
'Taming of the Shrew' but in space.
Wonderful Science Fiction Classic. The Special Effects are out of an animation tradition rather than the kind of CGI we are used to seeing, but they actually hold up well. Especially the effects used for 'the monster' and those used to portray the alien installation. It is also fun to see Leslie Nielson playing such a straightforward character, really a sort of prototype of Star Trek's Captain Kirk in a lot of ways. So different from this 'Airplane' comedy style he's become so known for. Robbie the Robot was also instantly iconic. Amazing design, especially with the neon lighting and his droll humor.
Nielsen was surprisingly handsome in Forbidden Planet. I’m straight, by the way.
This movie never stops being a treat. You'll come back to it like an itch you want to scratch.
"can someone get this man a straw" lolololol
Broo you're gonna love young Frankenstein. Keep it up man Still '93 til
MeliVerse - Airplane! was a remake (and spoof) of the 1957 drama film called Zero Hour!
They even bought the rights to Zero Hour so they could make Airplane! without worrying about any legal issues.
The line “Excuse me stewardess I speak Jive” will never fail to put me in stitches
Fun fact: The Screenplay for Airplane! was taken, practically word for word, from the film Zero Hour! There is a video that actually shows the comparison between the two films.
First time I saw watched this, I was in Afghanistan in 2013. Loved it!!!!
Thank You So Much For Your Service And I’m Happy It’s Bright Memory For You
I saw this on either Cinemax or HBO about five months after it hit the theaters. This is just one ridiculously side-splitting movie that over 40 years later, is just as funny the first time as it the 21st time. It just never gets old. The fact that Lloyd Bridges, Leslie Nielsen, Peter Graves and Robert Stack did everything straight-faced, mad it even funnier. Check out "POLICE SQUAD (In Color)". It was a series ABC aired in the summer of 1982, it also starred Leslie Nielsen and is the same as "AIRPLANE" just with a police dept. A Joyous Noel and a Cool Yule to you and yours.
Bro almost to 8k now. You have no reason to apologize for how your reviews are setup. Clearly it’s pretty good and we enjoy it. If you got people complaining about nothing congratulations you got haters. That means you’re doing it right.
I Appreciate That Alot Man. Really Enjoy Your Comments

Surely you jest

The Naked Gun is my favorite Leslie Nielson film. I was pretty devastated when he passed away a while back. I used to watch these films like mad on HBO and Showtime when I was a kid, back in the really early 1990s.
You already did Blazing Saddles so you may as well watch every single Mel Brooks production ever made. Should only take a couple years
Well Hey! I’m Looking To Stay On KZhead For A Long Time!
I wouldn't do every movie. High Anxiety and Twelve Chairs were both pretty shitty... History of the World Part 1 has some gold in it though... also has some crap. Silent Movie was decent but probably not good for a video on youtube. The Producers (either one but I prefer the later version) is a definite recommendation. Both versions have their strengths and weaknesses.
KMCA779 It’s a fair point but I’m not sure if my OCD will allow it to permeate.
Spaceballs and Robin Hood Men in Tights
You've got my respect for playing Ecstasy of Gold in your outro.
Will Always Be My Theme Song
Thanks for posting this! I been searching for a while for the song
"Can somebody get this man a straw!?" made me legit laugh out loud.
I love the long setup for the Kareem joke. The laker shorts 😭😂
I believe that after this movie and part 2, you should continue with familar faces like - Hot Shots! and Hot Shots!: Part Deux.
Lloyd Bridges is great in Airplane - but he's even greater in the Hot Shots movies.
You appeared in my recommended videos an hour or so ago and your videos are just the best random recommend I've had in a while. I adore your sincere reactions and, I hope this doesn't sound condescending or anything, but your laugh is one of the sweetest and most genuine I've heard in a long while. It's so infectious! I haven't seen some of these films since I was much much younger, and it's like watching them for the first time all over again. It's been a long year and it's so nice to have something to laugh along with. Stay safe and keep going with this!
Awe Wow, Thank You So Much. Definitely Gave Me Some Motivation Today And Made My Day. I Appreciate You
This movie never gets old. Barbara Billingsley from Leave it to Beaver was the whitest white actress they could find to talk Jive. The LAX announcers were a married couple and were the LAX announcers parodying their own job. The bar scene had Striker playing the role of an air force pilot while wearing navy dress whites. The doctor from the Mayo Clinic with the donor heart was sitting in front of cabinets full of Mayonnaise. The external sounds were propellers as an homage to Zero Hour, despite it being a jet airliner. And much of the movie was line for line from Zero Hour, with comedy added. The scale of the comedy unfolds with every subsequent viewing.
You cut out the “give me Ham on Five, Hold the Mayo.”
I Didn't Even Hear That Line I'm Sorry
@@HelloMellowXVI Go back towards the part where you see the heart jumping on the desk. 1) Look at the background. 2) Listen to the PA system.
It's a reference to the "Mayo Clinic" which is a very famous medical center in real life.
Also if you listen carefully, right after the loudspeaker says "no the white phone" Someone is heard laughing in the background.
If there was a drinking game where you had to do a shot every time you said damn in this video, you would be totally hammered in the first two minutes. LOL. Love your reaction dude, merry Christmas.
Lmao Merry Christmas, Aye We Might Do Something Like That
Really enjoyed your video. Yeah what i love about AIRPLANE! is that all the actors were directed to not act like they're in a comedy. Everybody plays it serious, sincere and super-straight like they're in some cheesy tv soap opera and that makes the absurd stuff even funnier.
My favorite zany comedy! A joke a minute, at least! And being in a family of pilots sure helps =D My dad is a private pilot, flight instructor, and an experienced aerobatic pilot. He says pretty much anyone with a pilot's license could get a jet liner safely on the ground (for the people, the plane would most likely get messed up), with a little talking down, especially where the instruments are. Jet liners are apparently made stupidly easy to fly, so they don't need to train pilots as long to fly them. Comforting! Still, the safest way to travel (before corona)
19:55 I've seen this move so many times and never noticed that girl, thank god Mell has eyes like a hawk because.. goodness gracious There's an abundance of beautiful women in this movie in general honestly- the Zucker Brothers and Mel Brooks were both really good at pulling that off
Lmao Always Got An Eye For Beautiful Women! 😆🤗
Same here seen this a few times and other people reacting to it. Never noticed her except this time I noticed her same time as Mell Pointed her out. She doesn't even look like she belongs in there.
Love the extra mile you go in producing your reactions. Keep up the good work.
Thank You So Much. I Really Appreciate That Alot, Motivates Me
The late Robert Stack is the guy in the trench coat that narrated the TV Series "Unsolved Mysteries" for us in the 90s. R.I.P Robert Stack But I loved Wrongfully Accused with Leslie Nielson. I have it on video and DVD.
In case you didn't know, the main flight attendant that is the ex is Julie Haggarty, who plays the mom in She's the Man (w/ Amanda Bynes, which is based on Shakespeare's 12th Night). The older lady @ abt 25:21, is Barbara Billingsly, who played the mom (June Cleaver) in the classic TV show, Leave it to Beaver (1957-1963).
I saw this movie in the theatre when it first came out. The whole audience was in stitches
Same here. I was 11 or 12 at the time. Just fantastic.
Love watching someone watch this timeless comedy classic for the first time. Since you liked this movie, The Naked Gun is a must to react to. Pretty sure you will love it. It’s nonstop jokes like Airplane!
The vulture part killed me
"why don't you give him some head girl, it'd make him fly" ahahahaaa you crack me up 😂
I'm so glad you noticed the gag where Kramer walks through the mirror! Few people do.
Hi MellVerse....I'm really impressed you recognized Jimmy Walker as JJ. Not many of this generation have even HEARD of "Good Times." Most people don't even recognize Jimmy, either LOL!
Wassup Man, I Don't Know A lot Of Classics But I Know Me Some Good Times! Lmao 😆
@@HelloMellowXVI Then you were exposed to the good stuff, my friend. I watched that show in its first run and loved it.
@@HelloMellowXVI fun fact: Good Times is being brought back as an animated show.
Probably someone already said this, but just in case: if you watch the entire end credits, the taxi passenger shows up one last time, looks at his watch and says he just waits 20 more minutes.
Man I was a little down mentally this particular time but when I watched the video I was laughing with you and cheered me up :D
I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.
Lots of people think that joke originated with this film but Groucho Marx used it back in the 1930's.
Fun fact: this movie was a near carbon copy of an older film called Zero Hour. The lines are almost all the same. They changed the inflection and added some lines to make a serious disaster film into a comedy.
The guy that came in to direct the plane, seeing him made me wanna watch all the TV shows Unsolved Mysterys one of my favorite shows to watch with my granny.
seeing this movie as a teenager at the theater, I never laughed so hard in my life and memorized almost every line .. my friends and I would do lines from the movie, ....everyday
ME TOO!!!!!
I can't wait for you to see this film again - hopefully in a crowded theater. There are SO many gags in this film... even 3rd and 4th time, you can find new jokes.
I saw this movie some 35 years ago and its jokes with literal interpretations of what others say inspired me to create one. One day I was up on the nearby mountain, close to a water reservoir locally know as the Alvao Dam (or just "the Dam", being the only one around...), when a car stopped and the driver addressed me for directions: “Could you tell me how to get to the Dam?" They were precisely *coming* from the dam, so I realised they hadn't recognised it as such. (They were probably expecting a big dam, when in fact it's a rather small one.) So I said: "You have to go back, you just passed it." "You mean, that lake a few km back is the Dam?" Me (deadpan): "No. That's water. The Dam is the wall preventing the water from flowing down the mountain." They just looked at me in disbelief but I managed to remain serious. :D
Pure hilarity and the jokes are even on par with the best of meme humor
@MellVerse I really don't watch "reaction"videos. But YOU are HILARIOUS 🤣🤣 this is one of my favourite movies. I am 46 now and I'm glad that young people like you get to see these old fun movies 👍👍
Yon need to watch some early Steve Martin movies, especially The Jerk and Man With Two Brains
My friends and I were teens when this came out. We saw it at the drive in so we LAUGHED so hard we cried. Top Secret is another fantastic movie from the same team.
The two main characters kissing on the beach is a reference to an old film "From here to Eternity" set just before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Also, Peter Graves, who played the captain that says all those pervy things to the kid, HATED having to say those lines. You can almost see him struggling to get them out.
So many of the older actors in this movie had spent years being in very serious roles; not to mention the cameos. It definitely set a high bar. I still use lines from this a lot with friends. And there is another, with Shatner.
