This movie is a real product of its time. There are TV, movie, and commercial tropes which are lost on modern audiences. In theaters, there was virtually no down time, no clunker jokes, no missteps -- this was breathtaking, sidesplitting, crying-laughing satire, parody, and spoof. You had to watch it several times just to catch all the references. It's still funny, but also a graduate class on late '70's, American, pop culture.

There was a time when solicitors for this that and the other roamed the airports. Since those days Security has shut them out. Yes there were several commercial references. The one about never having a second cup of coffee at home was a long running coffee TV comercial. I'm a bit amazed that reactors now never seem to mention all the Mayonaise jars at the Mayo Clinic. Younger generations likely never saw the old Credit Card receipt machine. The girl going for her operation became a long running star on "The Love Boat". There is more but you get the idea.

1wwtom There will obviously be exceptions, but I think that most reactors have never heard of the Mayo Clinic. So from their point of view it's the same as if the clinic was named the Ketchup Clinic with bottles of ketchup on the wall. Not particularly funny. However, Addie at least smiled at that joke, so I think she got it.

"Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home" is a line from a commercial at the time. Radar Range used to be the name of a brand of microwave. "Win one for the Zipper" is a takeoff from a movie with Ronald Reagan, who played real life Notre Dame football player George Gipp, who died during the season and told his teammates to "win one for the Gipper". The guy in the cab was Howard Jarvis, who was an anti-tax activist at the time, who fought against all tax raises in California.

And the entire story of the movie is based on an older, movie called "Zero Hour!" Some of the same lines are in it. Zero Hour was meant as a serious movie, but so many of the little bits were just ripe for parody: The kid visiting the cockpit. A professional athlete playing the part of the co-pilot. The flashbacks to the war and the relationship. "I just thought you should know what our chances are: The lives of everyone on board this plane depend on finding someone who not only can fly it, but who didn't have fish for dinner." "Would you like some whiskey, maam?" The heart transplant patient. The stewardess playing the guitar for her. etc.

A fun fact about this movie - it's a nearly shot-for-shot remake of an earlier movie called Zero Hour (from 1957). There's a video comparing the two side-by-side and it really is surprising how similar they are. The main difference is that Airplane is a comedy that parodies a genre that Zero Hour is part of, and it exaggerates various scenes from Zero Hour.

Around the time that this movie was made, "disaster" films were the big-budget staples of the film industry. "The Towering Inferno", "The Poseidon Adventure", and "Airport" were just a few of the films which included a cast full of big-name actors. "Airplane!" took that trope and spoofed it - in fact, it was the first movie of its kind and led to films such as "Hot Shots", "Scary Movie", "Not Another Teen Movie", etc. which poked fun at entire genres of film. ...it was also Leslie Nielsen's first comedic role (he played the doctor); prior to "Airplane!", he was typically cast as the villain in television or films.

The microwave joke 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 inner monologue about her husband not having a second cup of coffee at home and then "throwing up" and such was based on an old coffee commercial. Same actress, I think. This was based mostly on spoofing the old Zero Hour movie, with the copilot being acted by a famous football player. In that movie it brought up the issue of the pilot and copilot having the same meal. To this day they are not allowed to eat the same food. 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. The "this was the wrong week to quit ..." gag was a parody of the one of the main characters in Airport. Just smoking in that one. But still portraying the stress of a high profile troubleshooter. There was an old trope of slapping the hysterical female character in many old movies. They just took it to a few levels higher in this one. The actress that played Beaver's mom in "Leave It To Beaver" was the woman who interpreted the Jive brothers for the stewardess. She was always a very proper Suzy Homemaker character in the old series, but quite spicy in this parody. Many of these actors were trying their first shot at comedy after long careers of drama and action parts, especially the doctor and the "quitting" guy. They went on to do quite a bit of very successful comedy from then on - Police Academy, Naked Gun, Joe Versus The Volcano and many more.

The Zucker Brothers made great spoof comedies back then. Now, you’ll have to watch “Top Secret “ starring Val Kilmer, “The Naked Gun” franchise starring Leslie Nielsen and their first movie “Kentucky Fried Movie”. Airplane was made to spoof the 1970s disaster/ catastrophe movies of the time, more specifically “Airport 77” and its sequel “Airport ‘79” Airplane is actually an almost shot for short spoof on a movie called “Zero Hour”. Other 70s disaster movies- “Earthquake”,”Avalanche “, “The Towering Inferno “ and “The Poseidon Adventure “.

This movie was a spoof on a the series of air disaster movies that came out in the mid to late 70s. And also it made references to lots of commercials and other cultural things from that time.

It's because all the jokes were connected to events that were current and popular in the late 70s; it's a cultural thing. Example, those Yuban Coffee commercials were all over TV back then, so we get the connection and the gag. She's never seen those commercials, so when the actress comes on screen and does a similar dialog to those commercials, it flies right over her head. If she were born in the late 60s, she would be gut busting laughing like us.

Forgive me for sharing, but I can't help it. My father died on September 4th, 1980, my 14th birthday and the 2nd day of my freshman year. That was a Wednesday. We buried him on Saturday. Monday my mom decided I didn't have to go to school. I think she skipped work as well and we went to see "Airplane". She and I had both been wanting to see it. But she thought it was a completely different movie from what it turned out to be. I went in knowing what I was in for. When the "Jaws" theme started and the stabilizer cut through the cloud cover a couple of girls who were probably skipping school let out a peal of laughter (the kind you can only get when the subject is stoned). I myself probably had a big smile and may have chuckled a bit. My mother asked, "Why are they laughing"? I told her, "Because that's some funny stuff, mom"!!!! She replied, "It's a disaster movie, it's not supposed to be funny". I said, "You do know that this is "AirPLANE", RIGHT?!?!?!? NOT "AirPORT"?!?!? She replied, "So"? I told her, "It's a comedy, mother. Watch and enjoy it". She sat as she always did when she was uncomfortable with a situation. Purse clutched tightly to her chest, her face judgemental as all hell. About 2 minutes in she let out a roar and let the movie do it's thing. I never could figure my mother out. A couple of years earlier I got home from school and she showed me an ad in the paper which read, "Tonight, America's Favorite Vampire Will Bite Your Funny-Bone". It was an ad for "Love at First Bite". It was a sneak preview. We went. At the beginning of the movie when George Hamilton intoned, "Children of the night!!!!! SHUT!!! UP!!!!" the theater erupted in hysterics. My mother of course as you can probably guess asked, "Why is everyone laughing"? Can you guess what I told her? "Because it's FUNNY, mother"!!!! "But it's a Dracula movie. You aren't supposed to laugh at a Dracula movie". I replied, "You are when it's a COMEDY". "What makes you think it's a comedy"? "Just watch". Yeah. That was my mom. Not a lick of sense in her head. The ad was right there in black and white and she didn't understand that "... Will Bite Your Funny-Bone" meant that it was a comedy. I could probably get some comedy out of my mothers stupidity. Thanks for inspiring me, Addie. Loved your reaction, although I'd like to have seen how you reacted to "Excuse me Stewardess, I speak jive". BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!
