I can't wait for your upcoming reactions, even if that includes Saltburn (lol) :)

2024-02-13 12:18:23 +0000 UTCGreat reaction! ... “Airplane!” is about tied with “Team America: World Police” and “Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (1975) for funniest comedy of all time (in my book). •••• The movie was written and directed by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker. The writers/directors are in the movie actually, The Zucker brothers are the guys saying: "Hey Larry, Where's the forklift?" "Over there.." & Jim is IIRC the fourth religious zealot during Robert Stacks’s intro & is also the run over cyclist while Kramer is driving. (The three have released a book / audiobook about the making of this 1980 film - in 2023: “Surely you can’t be serious”) •••• They had a real NBA star play the role of the co-pilot because the original, serious movie this is spoofing (Zero Hour! from 1957) had an ex-NFL player who was trying to break into acting playing the same role. •••• The microwave joke “Check the radar range” 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 original film, “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. •••• At the time the film was made (1979-1980) the phenomenon of 'non-mainstream religions' soliciting at airports was a permanent way of life, in America - and it was only slightly less annoying than the film depicts. (Notice that there are never mainstream organizations that are shown bothering the people - it's never Presbyterians or Methodists -only fringe groups like the fictitious 'Church Of Religious Consciousness'; The only fringe movement mentioned at the time, that has since become mainstream, is pro-Nuclear energy.) In 1992, the U.S. Supreme Court made a ruling that put an end to this truly obnoxious way of life (in America): it ruled that soliciting at airports is not a form of protected speech under the First Amendment (the airport is not the same kind of place as a street corner, and doesn't exist to facilitate 'speech' - and therefore, the airport or State or Federal authorities had the right to prohibit it).

2024-02-09 03:37:12 +0000 UTCSince you guys really liked this movie, the team that wrote+directed it made another comedy which is also wildly funny: "Top Secret!", starring Val Kilmer. I highly recommend it!
