"Don't take it out on the kid..." Kareem getting fed up with Joey is such a great moment. His build-up of frustration until he grabs the kid "The hell I don't!" 🤣🤣🤣 The kid didn't know Kareem was going to do that and his stunned reaction is genuine.

Almost all of the male actors in the movie were famous actors, but famous for being tough-guys and villains. This movie re-launched several of these into brand new careers as comedic actors.

[@ReconViper1]

I think they were chosen specifically because they were serious dramatic actors. The comical lines hit harder being delivered by actors known for serious roles.

[@mlong1958]

The jive lady, Barbara Billingsley, was a beloved TV actress. She was the mother on the show, Leave It To Beaver. She and the two black men worked out the Jive language themselves. They remained fast friends for the remainder of her life. The glue sniffer was Lloyd Bridges, father of Jeff and Beau Bridges. He initially turned down the role but he sons convinced him to do it. He was afraid it would ruin his career since he was a well known serious actor. It actually rejuvenated his career since he was so good at comedy. He also appears in the Hot Shots parody movies. A lot of this movies is parody of the "Airport" disaster movies, like the "Hot Shots" movies parody Top Gun.

[@ReconViper1]

[@AdamMPick]

The child abuse and rape cases from the 70's and 80's which they settled out of court in the 2000's pretty much made them leave the public space in the west. They do organic farming, or "cow protection" in the UK and US now. (The movie commented only on how annoying they could be. The abuse cases were not public back then.) The singing is them repeating their manta 1728 times a day, which is a requirement for devotees. As is a vegeterian lifestyle with no sex, except for procreation. It was founded in 1966 in NY, but claims roots to the 15th century monotheistic hindu movement. They claim over 10 mil members, most of which are in India. Their founder was quite a bit of an anti-semite, who openly supported dictatorship as the best governing style. In his opinion Hitler and Napoleon were "devils", but Hitler at least killed Jews. For sure he was a character.

Agreed - I was born in 1965, and even at 15 some of the jokes were still a little too adult for me to catch the first time watching. For instance, when the little boy brings the tray of coffee to the little girl and she says she likes it black, like her men...yeah, I was still too naive to get that one.

"Jim never has a second cup of coffee (or does X) at home" is a parody of a popular series of commercials at the time.

I am proud of Toy. She accurately predicted that Elaine would tell Striker that she was proud of him. She also predicted that Otto would show signs of life. She was in top form, for this reaction. I am glad you guys got to this movie. Many consider this an essential classic, when it comes to comedic movies. I'm sure that it won't be long, though, before a majority of the film goes over most people's heads. Not only are a lot of the character references no longer around, and not only is a lot of the culture different, so many things about how airports operate have drastically changed. One just couldn't decide on a whim, to enter an airport from the street & expect to be on the plane in less than an hour. Anyway, I am glad you guys enjoyed this movie. I am impressed at how well you were able to comprehend it. Some reactors get a bit hung up on some of the outdated references. There definitely used to be smoking on planes, and for a while you used to be able to see where ashtrays used to be on the armrests of older planes. I'm sure most of those planes have been retired, by now. I look forward to more comedy films from this era. See you guys again sometime.

TOY: the images that brings to mind. TORI: you had a spectacular part, good job

[@mgordon1100]

I think this joke goes over most people's heads. Whenever someone was being dragged down the aisle from the cockpit, someone made an announcement. First, it was Captain Oveur, and then it was Elaine. This was done for a specific reason. When people hear an announcement over a speaker, especially on a plane, they pay attention by looking up towards the front. This is why nobody noticed bodies being dragged. They were all being distracted by design.

[@davidterhune8277]

Disaster movies produced by Irwin Allen were big in the seventies. "Poseiden Adventure", "Towering Inferno", etc. There were also the "Airport!" movies which are being parodied here. Part of what makes this movie funny to many is having serious actors saying wacky lines with a straight face.

I 4 years ago, I got a post-op infection that had spread enough that the toxins the bacteria were producing were sending me into shock, but because I always felt like absolute hell whenever I had kidney stone's removed at that hospital (and ONLY at that hospital - I felt perfectly normal within a day when I had it done elsewhere), I thought the horrible way I felt was just the same old shit. Fortunately, I had an appointment at the outpatient clinic (which is a couple of blocks from the hospital) for a wound between my shoulders days before I was scheduled for my first post-op visit. At the clinic, I collapsed when the PA (Physicians Assistant) was taking me back to the exam room. My blood pressure was crashing dangerously, so the doc called in the paramedics. When she told me "They're taking you to the ER, and you're going to be admitted to the hospital," I couldn't resist asking "Hospital? What is it?" When she earnestly explained what I explain above about infection and bacterial toxins, I told her "You're supposed to say 'It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.'" She was too young and too seriously worried about my condition to get the reference, but the older paramedic (who was teaching a newbie paramedic the ropes) got the joke. I'm weird, but even in Vietnam when I saw that half my calf was blown off, I was joked (between grunts and growls of pain) "You would think... this would make me never want to eat meat again...BUT IT DOESN'T!"

The frightened woman getting hit is a parody of a common trope in old films and TV shows from before the 80s. Whenever a woman starts freaking out you can calm her down by slapping her. Usually it was their boyfriend but it could be any other character in a given scene hence the line up of so many different people.

Fun Fact on the Saturday Night Fever spoof: While he was doing Airplane, actor Robert Hays (Ted Striker) was also doing a short lived sitcom called Angie and his Angie Co-Star Donna Pescow was in Saturday Night Fever. There is a sequel to Airplane called Airplane 2 The Sequel which is also worth a look just to see William Shatner steal the show. As for Leslie Nielsen, Besides this and The Naked Gun Trilogy, he was also in horror movies such as Creepshow and Prom Night (1980) and other comedies like Dracula: Dead and Loving it, Spy Hard, Wrongfully Accused, Surf Ninja, Stan Helsing and played Santa Claus in a Holiday movie called Santa Who.

Most of these actors were already famous, but for serious roles. Leslie Neilson rebooted his career from serious actor to comic actor starting with this movie. In the 1970s the airports, malls, and other places had these religious cults roaming around begging people for contributions. Look up "moonies". That "Jim never has two cups of coffee" is from an old coffee commercial in the 1970s. By 1979 Disco had pretty much run it's course and was dead.

[@jamielandis4308]

This movie jump started Leslie Nielsen’s career and created its own sub genre of comedy. When this came out this movie fried our little minds. A lot of the jokes are dated but back then this entire flick was hysterical from start to finish. The two movies prior to this with Leslie Nielsen are “Forbidden Planet,” and “The Poseidon Adventure.”

[@chrischar9428]

Jump started his career. Yeah no

[@GrantWaller.-hf6jn]

He was a ship captain in both of those movies one at sea and one in space.

[@jeri3808]

one of Leslie Nielsen's earlier drama roles was in the sci fi film FORBIDDEN PLANET. Seeing it as a kid the monster and the music score scared me and the plot twist was definitely unexpected!

[@davidmichaelson1092]

That is a gorgeous cat! I currently have three myself, a Siamese and a Manx that are part of my family, and a foster I have had for about a year now. Half of the jokes in this movie are very specific to the tie. I mean REALLY specific like specific roles are played by people who reprise lines from ads they were in. And the cameos: the "Point/Counterpoint" people, JJ Walker, Kareem, Ethel Mermon, etc. But even though half the jokes are dated, it still is funny for younger people. That is genius. As an aside, a distant cousin of mine back in the day was a famous Jewish sports legend before WW II cut his career short. An all-star catcher named Harry "the Horse" Danning. I actually talked to him once about out family history.

It sounds like the yearlong foster is asking to be promoted to permanent resident... 😸

[@davidmichaelson1092]

@@RuntotheMovies He is very sweet. But my Siamese does not like him and he is aggressive (playfully) to her so we have to keep the separate. But anytime someone comes over to consider adopting him, he hides. He does not do this when other people show up. Only potential adopters!!! He wants to stay. But my sweet Siamese comes first. Want another cat?

Leslie Nelson was a serious actor, Airplane! Was his first comedy movie, he continued in comedy with the Zucker brothers in the comedy cop show "police squad" and the "Naked Gun" movies. His most famous movie before "Airplane!" Was the science Fiction classic "Forbidden Planet"

[@quinn-tessential3232]

There are a few jokes that consistently go right past everyone. There's the "kissing on the beach" scene during which Ted gives Elaine exact details about an upcoming military attack, but then can't tell her when he'll be back because that information, literally the least important fact, is classified. Then there's Rex Kramer walking through a mirror at 23:23. No one notices.

One of the top classic sci-fi movies of the 50's. Hugely influential...Gene Rodenberry took inspiration from it for the original Star Trek

​@@Thor_Odinsoncorrect. Also inspired the robot from Lost in Space.

[@ronfehr7899]

From what I understand, the pilot and co-pilot are always served different meals during a long flight. This should ensure that someone is still in control of plane in case one of them gets food poisoning. It's also quote possible that they are served their meals at different times, and also don't eat them in the cockpit.

[@disneyfannrkrb]

No one ever catches the joke, when he tells her detailed plans of his mission, but when she asks, when he'll be back, he says its classified 😆🤣😆

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Also, Kramer asks Stryker: "have you ever flown a mon-engine plane before?" ... Stryker says no. But those are what he flew.

[@adamskeans2515]

fun fact, because of this movie, airliners have a rule that the pilot and copilot can't have the same meal.

"Are they monks?" They're supposed to be Hari Krishnas. From the late 70s until they passed a law against it in the early 80s, they were famous for bothering people in airports by trying to give them flowers.

Most people forget the man in the cab. After the end credits there is a shot of him still waiting in the cab.

This movie is next to Naked Gun still my favorite old classic humor movie.

To get some of the references, you should watch some of the films spoofed, like Airport and Zero Hour. From Here to Eternity will help with the beach scene. For the captain's inappropriate comments to the kid, check out Shane, Spartacus, and Midnight Express.

[@DanielRamosMilitaryWiz]

It fills my heart with so much joy seeing you ladies watch one of the funniest movies ever made. Toy is such a hopeless romantic it melts my heart. Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker wrote Airplane! while they were performing with a theater group they founded in 1971 called the Kentucky Fried Theatre. They often recorded late night television and reviewed the tapes to find inspiration for comedic material. One night they accidentally recorded an old 1957 film called Zero Hour! It has the exact same plot as Airplane! right down to the fish poisoning. Even though Zero Hour! was made as a serious drama, the trio saw comedic potential in the storyline and decided to remake the film as a parody. They also borrowed inspiration from the Airport film series (1970-1979). Since disaster films were very popular in the 1970s, Airplane! was made as a spoof of that genre. Believe it or not, Sigourney Weaver actually auditioned for the role of Elaine. The trio decided to cast actors who up to that point hadn’t done comedy and were known for doing serious roles before this film, such as Leslie Nielsen (Dr. Rumack), Peter Graves (Captain Oveur), Robert Stack (Rex Kramer) and Lloyd Bridges (Steve McCroskey). Stack is best remembered by modern audiences as the chilling host of Unsolved Mysteries (1987-2002). The deadpan delivery of the cast combined with the absurdity of the script made for comedic gold. I wasn’t sure if you noticed, but the guy calling from the Mayo Clinic is actually sitting in front of countless jars of mayonnaise 😂 The guy left waiting in the taxi cab at the airport is actually Howard Jarvis, a businessman, activist, and political figure known for his anti-tax policies and harsh criticisms of the government. It’s hilarious seeing someone who railed so much against waste and being taxed just sitting in an empty taxi cab with the meter running. The inside joke was that he never would have paid for such a charge in real life. What made the white lady speaking jive even more hilarious is that the actress, Barbara Billingsley, is best known for playing the wholesome mother on Leave it to Beaver (1957-1963). You lovely ladies really made my day with your reactions! I hope you all get to watch more great comedies like Blazing Saddles, Clue, Spaceballs, Big, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Ace Ventura, My Cousin Vinny, and School of Rock! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@williamjones6031]

1. I guess I picked the wrong week to stop watching "first time reaction" Airplane clips. 2. This movie requires more than one watch in order to catch as much as possible. Little things to look for: Ted was in the Air Force but at the bar he's wearing a Navy Lt. Uniform. Elaine's trombone at the bar sounds like a trumpet. One of the fish was a freshwater catfish. A woman throws a baby into the air when the plane crashes through the window. Two Hari Krishnas actually fly out of the airport. Captain Kramer steps out of a mirror before leaving for the airport. The woman with the horse in bed is the creepy Captain Oveur's wife. She is also hitting on to Captain Kramer. It's a jet but the background noise is of a prop plane. The ambulance crashes after the plane lands. 3. Otto/Auto pilot has his own webpage on IMDB 4. Elaine has permission to sit on MY face. 5. IMVHO Airplane II is good too, destination moon.

Airplane 2 is wildly underrated. Shatner is a perfect replacement for Nielsen.

If it wasn’t for my dad i would have never knew about the show lmao I’m surprised when they said the Mayo clinic Toy and Tori didn’t notice the Mayo Jars in in the background lmao my favorite line is cream no I like my coffee black like my men lmao 🤣 my other favorite cameo by Kareem-Abdul-Jabar is the movie Baseketball lol

I never understood the last question that Clarence Oveur asks to Jimmy "Have you ever been in a Turkish Prison?", until I googled it. It has to do with a book called Midnight Express. I'd caution against reading it, but damn the joke, one of the darkest lines in the movie.
