Summary: The funniest movie ever made..
Review: Although Hollywood released many horrible airplane-disaster movies in the 70's, I'm glad they did, or this may have never came to light. There is irreverent humor and gags thrown in every 30 seconds and the memorable one-liners made this an instant classic.

Summary: An Overdose of Comedy
Review: In the 1970's, Hollywood created an endless stream of disaster movies. Having found a "winning formula" they latched onto it and milked it for every penny producing disaster flick after disaster flick until it all became a joke onto itself. Enter Airplane. The result of a couple of guys who, seeing all these airplane disaster movies thought it had all gotten so ridiculous that the entire genre was a joke, a brilliant idea was born. Enter the era of the spoof. Today we take spoofs for granted but back then the idea was brand new, and thats what makes Airplane such a brilliant masterpeice, it literally spawned a whole new genre of movies that is being copied this very day. Naked gun, or Scary movie would not exist today without Airplane, and yet, Airplane is funnier than every other spoof ever made even all these years later. Put simply, this movie is non stop rapidfire comedy. It's saturday night live on qualudes. It's nonstop wisecracks and jokes and gags. If you like intelligent critical movies, run away...quickly. This is not your movie.
If however you enjoy pure slapstick a la three stooges, just pure bumbling humour. Totally idiotic side gags. This is your dream come true. This is more than likely the most hillarious movie ever made. It's become a classic like Gone with the wind or the godfather, but for Comedies, and with good reason. The jokes simply are nonstop beggining to end. Right from the opening scene with the Hare Krishna's at the airport until the autopilot waving goodbye in the end scene. The movie simply does not stop for even an instant. At certain points you literally have to stop laughing even if you think a joke is funny just to breath. Don't expect brilliant writting here, it's all slapstick but it REALLY is hillarious stuff. The guys who did this by the way have gone on to write many of hollywoods great comedic scenes and we can see their raw talent to great effect here, completely unrestrained. This is the granddaddy of the Spoof Genre. If you love slapstick, by all means, Get this movie. You won't regret it.

Summary: Naked gun is funnier
Review: People say this is the funniest movie ever made, but I think naked gun is funnier. Naked gun had me laughing out loud several times. With Airplane, most of the time I crack a smile, but I don't even chuckle

Summary: It's funny but not too funny
Review: I just bought this movie about a month ago and was able to watch the whole thing again and possibly more and more to come but this movies writing is smart and snappy. I can see some of the comedic inventions from this movie were used in shows like The Simpsons and Family Guy. There are alot of classic scenes in this film and it's definitely an enjoyable watch for all types of ages. Now, how much of movies do you hear that about?

Summary: A hospital? What is it?
Review: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now. This classic spoof comedy starring Leslie Nielsen, Robert Hays, Julia Hagerty, Lloyd Bridges (R.I.P.) and a list of cameos is arguably the funniest movie ever made. Airplane! is the type of movie that
1) You have to watch more than once to catch what you missed while laughing, and
2) Never gets old no matter how many times you watch it. The story involves a former military pilot, Ted Stryker (Hays), who follows his lost love, Elaine (Hagerty) onto an airplane she works on as a stewardess. Things get hectic when the pilots become ill due to the food. Can Ted Stryker save the plane and the passengers and still keep it together?

Summary: Still funny but hasn't aged quite as well as expected
Review: You'll forgive the Zucker brothers and Abrahams for the shortcomings of Airplane!: this was their first film as writer/directors. Most of the jokes still work exceedingly well and it's still a laugh riot but time has taken the edge off some of the jokes. Overall, though, Airplane! is much more than a parody of the disaster films (and the horrible Airplane series Universal produced during the 70's). The best momoments are stuffed with inspired slapstick, bad puns and enough bad taste to capture your attention. Without Mel Brooks, Airplane wouldn't exist. The film owes a big debt to Brooks' classics Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and Silent Movie. Without Airplane and the Zucker-Abrahams collaboration, the Farrelly brothers wouldn't exist. While the sequel repeats a number of the best and worst gags, it lacks the zing of this comedy classic. The inclusion of the running commentary from the directors/producer adds another funny dimension to a minor comedy classic.

Summary: spawned an awful genre - but that's not important right now
Review: Over the years there have been a bunch of "spoof" films, characterised mostly by an incredible unevenness: zero plot, huge gag rate, low strike rate, designed mostly to cash in on lame send ups with no other point or broader picture...The result is that the genre - which can be done very well indeed (Peter Jackson's Forgotten Silver and Rob Reiner's Spinal Tap are standout examples) has largely now been trashed. Airplane is, in some respects, the guilty party - without it, the Scary Movies of this world would never have been conceived, let alone made - but for all that it is an excellent movie, and in my book deserves a place alongside Duck Soup and Spinal Tap as one of the best comedies ever made. It has all the trappings that go with the Zucker-Abrahams formula, only undiluted: for once, you don't have to sit through 20 minutes of lame script for the odd smile: the hit rate for the gags is pretty much 100%. And the best of the lines are simply priceless: Captain Oveur's dialogue with young Joey; the Jives and their elderly translator; Robert Stack's martial arts scene with the moonies in the airport terminal, and of course Lloyd Bridge's wrong week for giving everything up. Where I think it also is superior is that it does actually have a plot and functions very well as a genuine disaster movie: it's a seemingly obvious point, but none of the imitators have managed this. I suspect most people in the world have seen Airplane two or three times, and even for them I'd recommend the DVD - it's certainly a film which bears watching more than once - and for those of you who have never seen it, then boy are you in for a treat.

Summary: Still crazy after all these years
Review: There are very few movies that I have to watch multiple times just to hear the jokes I laughed too loud through the first time to catch them. Airplane, like Ghostbusters, is such a film. There are so many jokes, some stupid, some deep, some sly, some broad slapstick, some just downright dumb, that you cannot keep count of them all. This is the movie that jumpstarted Lelie Nielsen's career, for good or for ill. Moving away from his days as a two-bit heavy, Nielsen found whoopee cushions and never looked back. It was the genius of ZAZ to realize what they had with him and with the rest of the cast -- many of these folks had played straight roles for so long that that was the only thing most people could imagine them playing. And somehow each of them pulled up genius comic timing by playing themselves straight. This is a parody, a parody of all the Big Disaster films of the 70s, but also with nods to war films, medical dramas, T&A films, and even singing nuns. This is a film where there are subtitles for Jive. This is a film that pulls out every bad situation ever put into a 70s hack drama, added in religious visions, air-headedness, poo-poo humuour, strange social commentary, and then turned the blender up to "Annihilate". It is hard to write a clear review of a film that is essentially a string of shaggy dogs and one-liners. What I can say is that this is a film that can be watched multiple times and you will still be able to find new jokes. "Hey, I didn't hear that one last time!" This film may be compared favourably with Ghostbusters, Duck Soup, and This Is Spinal Tap. If those are films that you liked, try this. But you'll never be over Macho Grande...
