Of course, the movie I see so much of in "Airplane !" is "The High & The Mighty", a 1954 potboiler w/John Wayne AND Robert Stack...

One of my all time favorites. I took me a few viewings to pick up on all the gags. I think it was my third or fourth viewing when I realized that every time you see the jet plane flying through the clouds, the sound track is a prop plane.

In Airplane II, when you see the space shuttle flying, the sound track is a jet plane..

I think that's the one thing that makes me laugh the most. People think I'm crazy, until they realize what it is I'm laughing at.

OK, so I am crazy anyway.

Airplane was a great movie. I loved Barbara Billingsley(mom on Leave it to Beaver) as the jive interpeter. That was a hoot! You also had to watch was was going on in the background. When the pilot(forgot name) was in the hospital and the nurse was dumping a quart of oil into the IV.

"Tunnelvision" comes to mind as well. Though more a collection of sketches than a plotted movie, it has its share of laughs. I recall a bit w/a pre-SNL Chevy Chase doing a TV spot for the mail-order school of proctology or something. I also agree that it's sad a lot of movies like "Blazing Saddles" get hacked up for TV---even cable showings get the treatment. So far "Young Frankenstein" seems to have avoided mutilation.

If that were put out today in movies ,Congress and the critics would have a field day.
Everyone would be screaming --Coruption of a young minor.
If you notice whenever that movie is shown on TV --most of that cockpit scene is edited out.
Where has our sense of humor gone?

Years ago Peter Graves was the guest host at AE's Night at the Improv (or whatever the heck it was called). In his monologue he spoke about that scene which led into his story that went something like "one day I was spotted by a lady who was a fan and she made her husband come get my autograph, which he begrudgingly did. Sensing the husband's displeasure with having to ask me for my autograph, I looked at the guy and asked him 'have you ever seen a grown man naked?' and then I signed the autograph "Leslie Nielsen'"

It was a lot funnier watching it than reading my rehash....

In Australia Airplane was marketed as "Flying High!"
