As brilliant as the script for this movie is, I have to say the casting really elevated to genius level. Apparently, to sell it as a satire of disaster movies, the creators knew they needed to have everyone take the script as seriously as possible, so they cast actors known for their dramatic roles in the leads (Leslie Nielsen, for example, WASN’T known as a comedian before “Airplane!”), reasoning it would be funnier. That philosophy is so perfectly captured by putting Barbara Billingsley-June Cleaver herself, THE housewife of 1950’s TV, the pinnacle of wholesomeness-as a foul-mouthed grandmother fluent in jive. Absolute genius!
@manonymous47374 жыл бұрын

Besides, these movies played heavily on humour that baby boomers, above all, appreciated. That's why so many of the actors were icons from our early years who were doing outrageous self parodies.

The vulture is perfect example of Zuckers/Abrahams philosophy of never having a shot without a joke in it. Whether it was in dialogue, a sight gag, a running joke, background weirdness, whatever, every single shot was intended to have something funny in it. Often times, a single shot will feature multiple jokes. Almost nothing was off-limits. Even the simple exterior shots of the airplane are hilarious when you realize its a then-modern jet airliner, but has the sound of a WWII-era propeller plane. It's also just a model plane hanging on a string, not moving forward. Lastly, Barbara Billingsley kills it in this scene. Damn funny.
