Hadn't thought of that movie in years. Wonder if it's available on DVD?

By the way what ever happened to Midnight Movies? When I was in HS two or three multiplexes had different movies playing on each screen. It was a blast.

Back on topic. I think just about everything in the movie is hilarious. Especially when Wilt Chamberlin breaks character to tell the kid off. And then when he's pulled out of his cockpit seat, he's in a basketball uniform.

"Johnny" was played by Stephen Stucker, a character actor who was noted for "over-the-top" portrayals. He died in 1986 of AIDS-related complications.

"I need to speak you in the cockpit"
"What is it?"
"It's a little room at the front of the plane where the pilot sits, but thats not important right now"

Another Zucker movie that doesnt get the love it deserves is "Top Secret".It starts as an Iron Curtain spy flick and somehow morphs into a WW2 French resistance flick.Funny,funny stuff.If youve never seen the musical number based on Val Kilmers' characters hit Beach Boys-esque song,Skeet Surfing,than you aint lived.

Another great one from Airplane (paraphrasing a bit): "They can't land...they're on instruments!" *cut back to the cockpit to see Striker, Elaine and the doctor playing Dixieland jazz*

I love that movie, but I haven't seen in in years. The "Anal Intruder" gag is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Fans of Airplane! should make the effort to find a copy of the inspiration...a little known disaster flick called "Zero Hour!". It has the basic outline of the first "Airport" film (the ones with George Kennedy) but shares many of the same characters from Airplane! like Ted Striker and Rex Kramer. In fact legendary tough-guy actor Sterling Hayden plays the part that Robert Stack parodied so well. The shots and dialogue are identical but played seriously...which makes Airplane! all the better. It even has a famous contemporary athlete who's acting skills are even worse than Kareem's. It's well worth the trouble to buy it, I had to get mine from Asia.
Now on Amazon:

Never been to any prison but seeing midnight express just plain scared the hell out me. No thanks!! As long as we are going the movie route: "nice beaver" from the naked gun.
