Airplane was an incredibly smart movie pretending to be incredibly stupid

Sort of the building blocks for later films like Dumb and Dumber and Something About Mary

Many of the scenes in Airplane! are line-for-line or shot-for-shot recreations of scenes from Zero Hour, with one or two things changed.

But no one remembered Zero Hour, so it went over a lot of people's heads.

IIRC they bought the rights to Zero Hour so they could rip it apart.

Airplane 2 was sadly disappointing but worth a watch if you've got nothing better to do.

do people really not realize that Airplane! is a parody of other airplane disaster movies? This topic is like pointing out the villain in Scary Movie had a similar ghost mask as the guy in Scream.

I think if I had seen the original and known it was a reference then I might have given a chuckle.

That's from the movie it was spoofing.

Down to the famous athlete as copilot. Zero Hour is now a hilarious movie.

in grade 9 english my class read a play called Flight Into Danger that I'm pretty sure is also nearly identical. was Zero Hour based on that play or something?

Omg I didn't know that about Zero Hour. That makes Joey recognising Kareem Abdul-Jabbar so much funnier.

Top Secret! is the other really good comedy the two guys behind Airplane did. The creativity that went into that movie was incredible.
