One of the jokes of this movie when it came out was that Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Peter Graves and Lloyd Bridges were all in it. None of them had ever done comedy before and were known for "serious" roles. Neilsen was pretty much typecast as a villain for much of his career.

This movie is a near shot for shot remake of a movie from the 50s called "Zero Hour!". The directors were afraid that they might get sued for copying it, so they bought the film rights for about 200,000 dollars. The people who owned it didn't care much about it, since the movie was long forgotten. They also use a lot of the same lines, but Leslie Nielsen just makes them sound funnier.

[@carronline1]

the fact this was leslie nielsens introduction to comedy makes it even better before this all his movies completely serious

Everyone should check out the video(s) comparing the two movies. It's remarkable -- they pull exact lines from the original and make them funny. Comic genius.

[@SpiderandMosquito]

It is worth noting that they were likely safe because in the US, parody is considered part first amendment free speech and is protected under free use laws.

[@SebastianWeinberg]

They pretty much went through the entire movie, shot-by-shot and tried to find a way to turn _every single one_ of them into a joke, and to turn every serious line into the setup for a punchline.

[@yumin_pluto558]

@@SpiderandMosquito The problem was that it was shot for shot. They might have lost a lawsuit calling this plagiarism instead if put with a hardline judge. They didn't want to risk it. Also Fair Use and Parody was weaker back in the time this was made. A parody film with Disney-like characters doing un-Disney things got shot down only a few years prior.

[@james.b.mcgill]

I'm reminded that the further we get away from when these types of movies are made, the more jokes that we'll get lost to time, especially if the comments section of sites like this aren't archived or are allowed to fade away. I remember when me and my best friend saw Scary Movie in the theaters, we counted all the film, television, and commercial references. If I watch that today, I'm sure I've already forgotten all but two of the commercial parodies and probably half of the film and TV show references.

[@aquatus1]

There were so many airplane disaster movies out at this time. This was the movie that put them all to rest. Just like Ghostbusters did to all the spook movies of the time. There is a tendency of, when movies start taking themselves way too seriously, that a comedic gem will appear to bring everyone back down to the reality that they are meant to be entertainment.

[@overdrive7349]

YES

[@MrGBH]

I heard that the most expensive prop in this film was the fish skeleton. For some reason they just struggled to find one. Good news, the situation in this film has never happened. The pilot and co-pilot have different meals prepped in different kitchens, specifically to prevent it

[@SebastianWeinberg]

By the time this movie came out, that was indeed a general rule - but at the time _Zero Hour!_ was written, it wasn't yet.

[@blacktronlego]

27:00 The 'eggs in the mouth' is a well known magic trick, she has something that looks like the end of an egg which she pushes with her tongue, while the actual egg is hidden in the hand of the magician so he seems to take it out of the mouth. They do three '...What is it...but that's not important right now.' jokes. 26:19 I think it's 113 dollars 30, not 11 thousand dollars, he's been a while, but not that long. There are jokes hidden in the credits and a post-credits scene with the guy still in the taxi. The sequel is kind of more of the same style, William (Captain Kirk) Shatner is in it.

Fun facts: They originally wanted Pete Rose for the pilot but they filmed during baseball season. The guy who wrote the song the stewardess plays for the girl, River of Jordan, regretted giving permission as he disliked how the song was used. Robert Stsck did his own stunts. The actor who plays the guy who gets Kramer later served as a producer on Snakes on a Plane. Johnny's lines are improvised. He was merely told the previous line.

According to a quick search, it was a '92 Supreme Court hearing that ultimately put a stop to the 'would you like a flower?' guys, following an '88 state case.

[@jeremygeorgia4943]

Old airplane headphones were a lot like stethoscopes. There were two tiny speakers in the armrest, that you plugged the headrest into. The technology for tiny speakers wasn't too advanced, and it would have potentially been expensive to distribute earphones with speakers, knowing that some might break or go missing. The method worked surprisingly well. There were certain religious groups that actually sold flowers at airports as a fundraiser, and others that gave them out free. They were typically tulips, wrapped in wax paper. Airports used to be rather public places, with metal detectors near the gate area as the only security.
