Everyone talks about what a great comedian Leslie Nielsen was, but what a lot of folks don't realize is that he _wasn't_ a comedian. He'd already had a long career as a dramatic actor, and hadn't thought of doing comedy. But he was approached for this film, as well as Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, and Peter Graves - all dramatic actors. And the main problem was that the actors wanted to _be funny,_ which was NOT what the directors wanted. They told the actors they had to play their parts perfectly straight, or else it wouldn't work. And they were right! (Also, the film is based almost word-for-word on an old movie called "Zero Hour".)

[@richardsturges2736]

Most people think its based on Airport, but no its Zero Hour. So glad someone else knows this. The writers record late night commercials to spoof, and fell asleep. Zero hour was recorded and they watched it and then they made this. Ive seen Zero hour and its actually a decent drama. Watch Leslie Nielsen in Forbidden Plant, which is basically Shakespeare's The Tempest.

[@benglaser1345]

I know! I took a film elective in high school and we watched The Poseidon Adventure, High Noon, then Airplane. My group presented on Airplane, so I made sure to mention that Leslie Nielsen was a dramatic actor in the former, and Lloyd Birdges was in the latter (he was the deputy guy)

[@TheStapleGunKid]

If you are confused about why Kareem Jabbar is hiding his identity in this movie, it's because the film is a parody of a 1957 film "Zero Hour". In Zero Hour, NFL star Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hersch plays the co-pilot, despite having no prior acting experience. He's basically in the role of a pilot for no reason, and there is no reference to his NFL career. So in this film, the joke is that Abdul-Jabbar is trying to just play the role of a pilot, but everyone keeps recognizing him as an NBA player, and he ultimately can't keep that aspect hidden.

You already did Blazing Saddles so you may as well watch every single Mel Brooks production ever made. Should only take a couple years

I wouldn't do every movie. High Anxiety and Twelve Chairs were both pretty shitty... History of the World Part 1 has some gold in it though... also has some crap. Silent Movie was decent but probably not good for a video on youtube. The Producers (either one but I prefer the later version) is a definite recommendation. Both versions have their strengths and weaknesses.

[@Oside3000]

"Can somebody get this man a straw!?" made me legit laugh out loud.

[@kevinthetruckdriver353]

MeliVerse - Airplane! was a remake (and spoof) of the 1957 drama film called Zero Hour!

[@Hermititis]

They even bought the rights to Zero Hour so they could make Airplane! without worrying about any legal issues.

[@theeverydayillusion7790]

Watched that movie at 12-13 on a ferry from Belgium to England. Felt like the whole ship laughed their azz off watching this movie.

[@jimtatro6550]

If there was a drinking game where you had to do a shot every time you said damn in this video, you would be totally hammered in the first two minutes. LOL. Love your reaction dude, merry Christmas.

[@cassuttustshirt4949]

My favorite zany comedy! A joke a minute, at least! And being in a family of pilots sure helps =D My dad is a private pilot, flight instructor, and an experienced aerobatic pilot. He says pretty much anyone with a pilot's license could get a jet liner safely on the ground (for the people, the plane would most likely get messed up), with a little talking down, especially where the instruments are. Jet liners are apparently made stupidly easy to fly, so they don't need to train pilots as long to fly them. Comforting! Still, the safest way to travel (before corona)

[@GreenJeepAdventures]

Love the extra mile you go in producing your reactions. Keep up the good work.

[@HelloMellowXVI]

Thank You So Much. I Really Appreciate That Alot, Motivates Me

[@karib3909]

Fun fact: The Screenplay for Airplane! was taken, practically word for word, from the film Zero Hour! There is a video that actually shows the comparison between the two films.

[@SuikodenGR]

I believe that after this movie and part 2, you should continue with familar faces like - Hot Shots! and Hot Shots!: Part Deux.

[@Dystopia1111]

Lloyd Bridges is great in Airplane - but he's even greater in the Hot Shots movies.

[@GazilionPT]

I saw this movie some 35 years ago and its jokes with literal interpretations of what others say inspired me to create one. One day I was up on the nearby mountain, close to a water reservoir locally know as the Alvao Dam (or just "the Dam", being the only one around...), when a car stopped and the driver addressed me for directions: “Could you tell me how to get to the Dam?" They were precisely *coming* from the dam, so I realised they hadn't recognised it as such. (They were probably expecting a big dam, when in fact it's a rather small one.) So I said: "You have to go back, you just passed it." "You mean, that lake a few km back is the Dam?" Me (deadpan): "No. That's water. The Dam is the wall preventing the water from flowing down the mountain." They just looked at me in disbelief but I managed to remain serious. :D

Thank You So Much For Your Service And I’m Happy It’s Bright Memory For You

[@josephcox178]

I saw this on either Cinemax or HBO about five months after it hit the theaters. This is just one ridiculously side-splitting movie that over 40 years later, is just as funny the first time as it the 21st time. It just never gets old. The fact that Lloyd Bridges, Leslie Nielsen, Peter Graves and Robert Stack did everything straight-faced, mad it even funnier. Check out "POLICE SQUAD (In Color)". It was a series ABC aired in the summer of 1982, it also starred Leslie Nielsen and is the same as "AIRPLANE" just with a police dept. A Joyous Noel and a Cool Yule to you and yours.

[@carytodd7211]

One of the best reaction videos I've seen. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

[@jeffphillips9588]

Love watching someone watch this timeless comedy classic for the first time. Since you liked this movie, The Naked Gun is a must to react to. Pretty sure you will love it. It’s nonstop jokes like Airplane!

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

The late Robert Stack is the guy in the trench coat that narrated the TV Series "Unsolved Mysteries" for us in the 90s. R.I.P Robert Stack But I loved Wrongfully Accused with Leslie Nielson. I have it on video and DVD.

Fun fact: this movie was a near carbon copy of an older film called Zero Hour. The lines are almost all the same. They changed the inflection and added some lines to make a serious disaster film into a comedy.

I can't wait for you to see this film again - hopefully in a crowded theater. There are SO many gags in this film... even 3rd and 4th time, you can find new jokes.

My friends and I were teens when this came out. We saw it at the drive in so we LAUGHED so hard we cried. Top Secret is another fantastic movie from the same team.

[@fernandocast435]

First time I watched Airplane! it was on TV at... 4 AM in the morning and I was CACKLING, I was afraid I'd wake the people in the house or my neighbours up. Also the edit during the R-E-S-P-E-C-T singing nun got me good man, keep up the great work man!

[@victorhernandez8723]

Fun fact: the nun was played by Maureen McGovern. She’s best known for singing the songs “The Morning After” from “The Poseidon Adventure” and “We May Never Love Like This” from “The Towering Inferno”.

[@TH-rj4ds]

So many of the older actors in this movie had spent years being in very serious roles; not to mention the cameos. It definitely set a high bar. I still use lines from this a lot with friends. And there is another, with Shatner.

[@originalsuki]

Another great job. I saw this a couple of times in theatres when it first came out. It's fun to see people discover these older oddball movies. If you're looking for similar era movies, I'd suggest Stir Crazy (with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor) or Top Secret (very similar style to Airplane, but spy-related)

[@leiatyndall8648]

In case you didn't know, the main flight attendant that is the ex is Julie Haggarty, who plays the mom in She's the Man (w/ Amanda Bynes, which is based on Shakespeare's 12th Night). The older lady @ abt 25:21, is Barbara Billingsly, who played the mom (June Cleaver) in the classic TV show, Leave it to Beaver (1957-1963).

[@toukie]

I'm so glad this movie was made back in the 80s, because there is no way in HELL 90% of the jokes would've made it past the sensors. This movie is a classic

Aww, this was one of the first movies I have ever seen. It pretty much defined my sense of humor :) :) Simpler and more innocent times for sure. At least you could joke about pretty much everything. And people ask me why i don't like modern cinema all that much :) :) Because they don't have the balls to do stuff like this anymore :)
