Airplane is funny because they take the deadpan delivery and cheesy dialogue of the original movie and turn it into comic timing and presentation. Zero Hour is basically just Airplane with all the sight-gags cut out and taking itself way too seriously. If anything, if people like Airplane, the movies they need to watch are Top Secret and Hot Shots. Those are very much the same style of comedy. They might also enjoy tracking down the old Police Squad TV show (6 episodes) that predates and which led to the Naked Gun movies. The TV show is pretty fun, and the first film is great - though the later films start to get a bit lame. And speaking of 80s comedies that start out pretty strong and eventually get lamer and lamer, the Police Academy franchise is another pretty good example. The franchise as a whole tends to have a (well-deserved) bad reputation because the later films are absolutely terrible, but the first few are actually pretty damned good. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
